Russian propaganda sure is an “interesting” take on reality. The bully whines about getting their nose bloodied and is surprised nobody has any sympathy for them.

Ours is Rosie too!

Not mine but I had a Dutch professor who would say “it’s like washing duck’s feet” to refer to something that was a pointless exercise or wasted effort. I always thought it was funny but can’t find anything on the Internet about it now so perhaps it’s not very common.

Have another look at Ecco’s they’re exactly what you’re looking for. There are good models for 1-200 dollars that last for years and are great for putting city miles on. I got a pair about four years ago when I was commuting on busses and going through cheap shoes every couple months. They’re still in great shape and clean up nice.

I’ve definitely plugged in the exam room, they leave you to wait for 10-15 minutes I can get 30-50% charge while waiting.

These have been daily deltas for a long time, this chart comes out every day.

Nice, I’ll probably pick it up when it goes on sale, my backlog is enormous I’m still finishing games from 2020! Having a couple young kids really bites into the gaming time.

Finally? it’s only been out a few weeks

i don’t know about “Real” but I’ve got another one that threw me off.

I’m middle aged, an avid skier, and I was sitting on the lift with a couple young dudes, probably 18-24, shooting shit about the awesome conditions. Now, I’ve heard “low-key”, and I know what it means and how to use it, but, I was relating a story about some gnarly line I had done that morning and they both kept parroting “hikee hikee”. It took me till several hours later sitting over a pint at the base to parse out they were saying “high-key” as a sort of qualifier for how dope my story was. Still haven’t heard it since but that was the moment I officially became an “old man”.

The quality of discussion here reminds me of when I joined Reddit like 12-13 years ago. The massive user base and tendency toward hivemind/dogpile responses, canned inside jokes, and repetitive content definitely made the experience stale and uninteresting the last few years. If you use the new website design and/or the first party app, you can see how the content delivery has become the same as every other social media, a nonstop torrent of visual candy you can flip through, with the comments becoming an afterthought. The only thing that kept me coming back to Reddit were the comment sections, and I feel a rebirth of that draw occurring in this open-source social universe.
