I love bypassing a traffic tailback on a bicycle

You can do what I do and enjoy biking around town/your neighborhood as a leisure activity. Bike to whatever stores or appointments make sense. Biking to a hair cut for example is nice because the wind as you bike helps shake the bits of escaped hair out of your clothing!

Current I super commute while I get the money scraped together to move, and even then my job requires me to drive a personal vehicle to customer sites as needed so biking/public transit likely won't be an option until I land a better role with a company that isn't as cheap as this one

Dude where I live climate change is making it snow less but get extremely cold (-40c/-40F) multiple times a season thanks to the destabilizing polar vortex. It's really interesting seeing how different places are impacted by climate change

I suppose in the context of biking that makes it more viable though since you can always dress more appropriately for the weather but you can't out dress 12" of snow in front of your tires

Usually that means the venue hasn't provided bike racks when they really need to. There's a convenience store near me which has no bike rack so I end up locking my bike to the firewood rack as the only reasonably secure spot to lock it

Can’t fix the air con issue

When I started cycling last year I found that I acclimated myself to the hot weather by riding daily (plus once you start moving even if it's super hot and sticky the airflow as you ride along at 5-10mph really makes it feel far more bearable than one would think, even at 100% humidity!)

I can only imagine how much more bearable it would be on an ebike where I wouldn't have to fight so hard on hills or starting from stopped

Could also be they were only at the summer camp for a couple of weeks or whatever and kid brain with poor concept of time confused the timelines

Look at Mr fancypants here with an ISP that actually has some form of IPv6 support

Obviously you kicked the former friend off your network after you learned of their illegal activities and admonished them to pay for their media instead nudge nudge

Looks like the one this is talking about is expected to be open hardware + open software. Given its based on the ESP32 chipset, should be relatively inexpensive and fairly standard

I suppose you might be right. I've never tried a souls-like because they don't seem like my cup of tea but for a game where the point is specifically difficulty that would take most of the enjoyment out to remove all difficulty

My mind always goes to my long running Sims 4 save file that's somehow lasted about 3 years despite the hundreds of mods (many of which are abandoned and a couple by a mod author who sadly passed away) and countless game updates in that time.

I've mostly played with mechanics as they exist in the game and mods but I've gone to cheats when it better helps the overall story I'm going for, or just I'm getting bored with a given branch of the family tree and want to move it along.

Sometimes that means I'm skipped some annoying grinding, sometimes that means I'm exploiting unpatched exploits, and sometimes that means I'm using cheats because a mod broke something, or even just trying to make something look better. It enhances my play and I'd probably have less fun without it
