One of the worst things you can do to the environment folks. Don’t bear children. Don’t invite another being into this madness and suffering.
As is continuing to live so why don’t you follow through on that line of thought here

Like me personally or like societally?
was the handlebar fine tho
Yeah I’d argue this is probably true for bigger pets but the LD50 of stuff on your 2lb guinea pig is hit shockingly fast. Gotta watch out for the small, furry comrades
Buy the cheapest version of it and of you use it enough to either break it or figure out what parts of the design you don’t like it’s a good sign spending a little extra on a better version isn’t a waste.
Agree’d, albeit with the caveat that if it’s about screws, you wanna spend at least some money on the part that actually connects with the screws, so, the bits. Doesn’t really matter all that much if your harbour freight e-motor on your drill burns out, if you fuck up all the screws on whatever you’re working on with shit bits that’s gonna be a hassle.
But even then, that’s like “pay more than the $0 free offer on alibaba” territory of spending. After that, the dimensions and tolerances are fine, it’s just gonna be longevity.
Most stuff on a bicycle for the average person unless it’s carbon, plastics or electronics. Including safety stuff. Some caveat if you wanna huck yourself off a mountain or do like 100kph descents on your roadbikes.
But for the most stuff? The cheap shit works absolutely fine because at it’s core it’s bits of formed metal with threads attached connected by steel wires. Very hard to fuck any of that up to the point it becomes dangerous. I keep seeing parts being rated as SAFETY LEVEL 5 E-BIKE READY as if the metal rod that is my handlebar usually disintegrates once I hit the ludicrous speed of [checks notes] 25kph. Your $2 Alibaba Special V-Brakes are, at worst, gonna have garbage springs so it doesn’t return to not-braking great, but you’re not gonna like snap them in half even if you were a gorilla riding a bicycle.
I’m not arguing pro ICE cars over EV cars, I’m arguing against cars, be they EV or ICE
To get anywhere close to the grid being considered decarbonised (I’m ignoring carbon capture here because that’s not going to happen at any meaningful scale unless we geoengineer shit) all of the materials, all of the manufacturing and all of the building and maintenance would have to be run on renewable energy. Like from the mines of Australia over to all of the plants in china to assembly, for every component.
And to have it make any difference at all, you have to do it within the next 30 or so years. And then there’s still the tyres, also you gotta do the entire shit again for the very climate friendly processing of building roads that withstand cars for give or take a season, extra challenge mode due to the increased weight of EVs. And also then there’s still the tyres.
hopefully the battery tech and infrastructure investments will help pave the way to better solutions.
We’ve already got those, it’s called trains and bicycles, former have been EVs for like a century
- a self-fulfilling prophecy of pitbulls having a bad reputation and actively being sought out by people who want vicious dogs and who will treat their dogs in such a way as to encourage that behavior.
I’m pretty neutral on dog genetics but tbh it still ends you at the same conclusion; not everyone should just be able to get the dog that kills you
Even if ChatGPT was literally a perfect copy of a human being it would still be 0 steps closer to a general intelligence because it does not fucking understand WHAT or HOW to actually do the things it suggests.
What if we AI passes the turing test not because computers got intelligent but because people got dumber
I understand your vision now
Explore might be pushing it but there’s the old 3rd Gen AA title Darkest of Days where you you’re a timecop and get to mow down american civil war formations with your future machine gun
I feel like Battlebits gets pretty close to this?
TF2 Competitive
the grind got so shitty the logistics players actually went on strike
we get a lot of people learning what “digital sovereignity” means
just kidding, the state is going to pay every business affected gajillion dollars to buy more google
It is rather clear, that this code is not aimed at firefox users to slow down their loading time.
alternatively it’s just well designed
me when I crank the no true scotsman to 11
you ever wonder if there was like a short outlier on national core strength during that era?
More like a Tontine HEYOOOOOOooohhh :(
