“probably” is awkward for me. I used to drop the b’s and pronounce it “pro’ly”, but now I make the effort to use “likely” instead

No, that’s Soundcloud 😆

Bandcamp lets you preview entire albums, several times, before deciding to support the artist. And it’s a firehose of fresh music.

No sir! ✌️

I got a secondhand Canon Selphy CP910 photo printer from Goodwill. It prints excellent photos. It requires an ICC profile though, which I think is normal for photo printers? (on Debian 13 Linux, and I had to find the magic driver that made it work.) I set it up in 2024 and I don’t recall where I got the file. There are generic paper and ink refills on ebay.

Honor your friend, put some Jumbo Jims on there, and ride it often. I love my Surly Wednesday. Really eats up rocky trails in Southwest US.

I have 4 tape decks and only a few cables. I have another project now, thanks… 😄

I was about to say Magic cards, but my Chessex dice are older. I auctioned the books, but kept the dice, yeah. I swear to you, I rolled ones on all of my dozen or so d6s once. That was wild.

Too many sci-fi novels for Mr Z. Does he even read? What are the chances a hypothetical “super AI” is informing this man’s opinions? I fear for his children. ☹️

Welcome to modern warfare 🫡

But the most important thing to know, is that every cycling article is just advertising. Here’s some actual expert tips.

1. “Flat bar” and “upright riding position” don’t belong in the same sentence. One needs a trekking or cruiser bar with some rise, like 120mm or better.
2. Hybrids are basically heavy gravel bikes without drop bars. Just because one can fit 2.4" tires on a 20mm rim, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
3. If one really wants to jam off-road, full-suspension. Full stop.

There’s so much more and finding out is half the fun. This article sucks though.

I don’t trust the Adventure Freaksss guy, but he interviews people and I find that valuable.

I had never heard of workaway until I saw Adventure Freaksss interview with this dude.

I saw a video of a guy from the US who moved to Spain to escape gang life. He spent his while life doing side hustles and whatever. So he had developed PTSD from years of bad situations and he was basically homeless. He moved to Uruguay and they let him stay. They gave him a place to live and he has services. I think the support you are looking for could be in some other non-English country. US, UK, Canada, Australia, are pretty much disasters.

Golf courses plant summer grass here in the US southwest. It starts to die off at cool temps, so they seed winter grass too. Looks like there’s about to be money in landscaping. Hopefully the UK treats immigrant labor better. 🫤

Sweet! I’m downloading this when I get home. Hopefully also works with FydeOS.

That’s my purse! I don’t know you!

My boys and I played DuckGame an entire 3day weekend once. I set up 2 TVs so we could team up in Fortnite with a PS4 and a Switch, but honestly we played DuckGame more. I spent this summer with my 16yo playing Divinity Original Sin 2 coop split screen. It was fun until Act 3. Can’t recommend it, but ymmv.

Oh, when my kids were little we put a lot of time in Amazing Frog. And Minecraft, obv.

I put FydeOS on mine and Sketchbook. I use it almost entirely as a tablet and draw with a USI stylus.

I can’t tell the difference between gay sex and hazing myself. I would only worry if he has a sudden interest in rave music (Underworld, French house, etc) or gardening. Also, keep an eye out for strange rashes and remind him not to sign any contracts, or at least look them over. 🤟
