all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

The best method is to go out and buy 4 different stems and try them. Honesty.

Bike fits are a scam. Trial and error for your own body and own needs only way to figure this out.

You also need to consider changing your bar width if you alter your stem length/height more than 20cm.

For starters, flip your step up, if it’s down. Also, is your bike the correct size frame, and/or is it a racing frame or an endurance frame? Trying to make an aggresive racing frame into a casual endurance bike is not really going to work great.

there are places where it’s the only option. like highway rest stops.

Before that it was ‘big data’. remember that?

every 5 or so years the media needs some new tech to hype up to get people paranoid

Exactly. It will lead to improved automation for industrial processes but it won’t ever be a consumer tech other than improving your siri results.

It won’t replace jobs, anymore than industrial robots in factories replace them.

‘big data’ ‘crypto’ etc.

AI is just the next ‘big thing’ that amounts to nothing. 90% of what anyone says in the press/media is total nonsense. And most AI researchers are downplaying the hype because they know it’s all bullshit and AI will ultimately not be a major change anymore than navigation systems in cars was. It is merely convenience and those that ‘rely’ on it will end up in trouble.

It’s a complementary technology, not a revolution.

china is causing a fuss for political gain. a huge chunk of their fishing practices are illegal and violates international law anyway. their concern is theatrics to drum up their anti-japanese nationalism.

ignorance and paranoia about radioactivity go hand in hand.

i know so many otherwise smart people who lose it on this issue. because they just think any radioactivity = destroy planet forever . completely ignorant to how it actually works, and just think every power plant must eventually chernobyl and that one barrel of nuclear waste is enough to destroy 1000s of miles or something equally absurd.

totally sad.

They pay all their employees like shit. Pretty much every University/college does.

Except for the administrators.

yeah, cats bury their shit. they don’t shit on grass and leave it exposed.

only time cats shit in the open is to prove a point. OP probably pissed off this cat

dude, everyone says the housing market will crash for 15+ year now.

We have to accept the old rules of economy are out the window. govt will bail and stimulate to no need the second the market slows down.

this is the new normal. truth is our inflated economy can’t ever allow housing values to go down anymore without causing a depression so the govt won’t allow it.

People do not want to be told what to do. They do not want to be inconvenienced.

Personally I hated wearing a mask. it was a huge pain in my ass, and mostly unnecessary most of the time except on public transit or in like a very crowded place like a grocery store.

I bought a new car in 2018 for 19K. Everyone I know flipped at me for ‘wasting money’ and not buying a 5yo+ 10K car that looked like shit with 100K miles.

It’s now worth 21K, after 50K miles.

I’m looking at trading it in for a 35K car in the next two years, and watching the value on that car never go down either.

the open web isn’t as profitable as the walled garden where we can shovel ads and algorithms at unwitting consumers to extract money from them.

Tildes has a single admin who bans anyone they mildly disagree with.

No, i don’t. I don’t have a home lab or a self host. I have a mac laptop at home and nothing else.

my job is at my job. I don’t bring it home.

I’m an IT professional but I find most IT communities to be full insufferable people and full of useless and irrelevant information on obscure systems and practices that don’t apply to the average IT job which is sys admining windows/linux/mac.

Would love a community that was chill and not full of people trying to one up one another about how amazing they are or how hardcore their lab is.

It was fun. It was creative. it was free. It was optimistic and people were pretty chill.

Now the internet is all abotu the bottom line. 90% of the traffic/people on it are bots and scams from malicious people trying to make a easy buck by fucking over people.

digital anything was never a thing you owned. it’s a thing you lease.

if you want to own things buy physical copies.

no idea what you are on about the phone. I buy moto phones for like $150 unlocked and they are great.

yeah it’s kind of gross how ‘thirsty’ some posters are for spamming content across multiple instances.
