Even as someone with big hands, that does not look like a comfortable controller to use. I’ll wait for the next $5 clearance sale like I did with the original Steam controller. 🙃

People continue parroting this soy estrogen myth even years after it’s been debunked too, it’s annoying as hell. The phytoestrogen in question is more of an anti-estrogen and may be protective against excess estrogen.

If soy actually caused boob growth, the supplement industry would be all over that.

Snow, ice, and high winds are mainly what I’m referring to. A big enough gust from the wrong angle can pretty easily throw you off a bike, or send it veering in the wrong direction briefly at least (not to mention the struggle against headwinds).

Snow is one problem, but ice is the worst. I’ve used everything from studded tires to fat tire bikes, and they all have the same problem: two-wheeled vehicles want to fall down. A recumbent trike on the other hand is much closer to the ground, and stays upright by default. It virtually solves all of the aforementioned problems, while also being much more comfortable to sit on.

With recumbent two-wheelers, there’s a small bit of awkwardness maintaining balance as you go from a stop to a start. Other than that, the only real issue is that you can’t stand up when you’re riding up hills. All you can do is drop the gear and keep pedaling.

Personally I think it’s well worth the issues they solve, trikes especially. They’re much more comfortable. The trikes are much more resilient to bursts of wind, and the stability makes them much better for winter riding.

They’re more expensive, but recumbents do already solve this problem.

Would still like to try an alternative to saddles on regular bikes though.

Yeah Craigslist still works fine. I just used it a few months ago to give away an old crt tv that was taking up way too much space.

This has been my experience with a lot of things too.

I’m not paying for any subscription media services right now, but I did try both Audible and Everand after having the same bad luck finding audiobook piracy options, one time. I found Audible confusing and frustrating, but Everand was pretty great. When I’m in the market for audiobooks again, I’ll probably subscribe to them again.

If true, guess dude was right, the True Fans found a way to pay that $80 price tag.

I’m still playing the waiting game, will not pay more than $40.

This looks promising, I’ll look into it more. Thank you.

I think you’re exaggerating about those sites. With an adblocker turned on they’re generally totally fine, and often a nicer viewing experience than some of the big streaming services - especially YouTube.

I actually wouldn’t mind playing directly from those sites in fact. My biggest priority is having a convenient home screen or desktop on the TV, and providing easy one-click access to those services to make it easy to use if I have guests over or something.

Yeah currently I’m just leaning toward using a docked Steam Deck, and using desktop mode with a wireless keyboard that has a built-in touchpad. The browser as is would be fine.

Maybe if I want to put in the extra effort I can see about adding the browser as a “non-Steam game” and set it to open straight to a streaming site, so that I can open it directly from gaming mode.

That looks like paradise.

I’ve heard a little bit about India having their own issues regarding animal rights. 9% is still a lot better than 1% though.

Biking is my freedom, which means I’m very unfree.

The only traveling I’ve done outside of the US was to Canada, very briefly.

What countries are most friendly to a vegan lifestyle? Which ones are most walkable and bikeable?

It sounds like they are basically doing the same thing Replicant does (they even mentioned Replicant), but based on LineageOS right now, and with enough resources to hire someone to work on reverse engineering the proprietary bits.

Not the most glamorous endeavor, but a cool and necessary project. Pretty pragmatic too, focusing on Android instead of mobile Linux.

While they’re at it, can they talk their oem into adding a headphone jack? Literally the main reason I don’t already do Pixel + Graphene. (And yes I know one of the supported Pixel phones does have one, but it also happens to be the exact model that I have personally seen do the black screen of death, so no thanks).

Okay, whatever, you do you. I’m just saying, “religion is bad” is, like, kinda useless, ya know?

Oh edgelord I see. I got you covered, here’s the one you can push.

I get where people are coming from with a kneejerk, “religion is bad!” reaction, but honestly that’s not very helpful. The world is always going to have a pluralism of beliefs, and many of those beliefs are going to be of a religious nature. You’re never going to get rid of religion, so may as well be realistic about what can change.

Being that virtually all of the most harmful things being done in the name of religion, in the United States, can be traced to a subset of Christian factions, it’s more helpful overall to identify and promote the forms of Christianity that are progressive instead. A groups true worst enemy is their nearest neighbor.
