  • Exactly. Presenting arguments in good faith with people who are willing to accept objective views and valid factual information can be thrilling and present opportunity to learn about your own belief systems.

    In practice, though, it is such a rare occurrence that you are mostly just better off banging your head against a wall.

  • Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon.

    Jump

  • Even then, it's still wildly expensive if you compare it to other ICE motorcycles with similar specs.

    If a random person could buy three bikes that would outperform it for same price as one of these, then I just don't see how the market can support it

  • They are also 38,000 euro for the base model bike.

  • A group of crows is a murder. A group of apes is a shrewdness. What's a group of you called?

    Jump

  • Either an Anomaly, or a Difficulty

  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • Very solid choice! It's another one that has been an inspiration to so much of modern cinema.

  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • There are so many, but I think my first choice would probably have to be Seven Samurai. It is such an amazing piece of cinema. One of the most influential pieces that has inspired almost all of the film we still see today.

  • Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds

    Jump

  • Exactly, this was neither caving, nor capitulation. It was calculated cowardice specifically designed to disenfranchise voters after they dared to vote for Mamdani.

    This was a move planned and executed by Schumer meant to undercut the possibility of a progressive wave that might actually function as an opposition party. The pure and simple fact is that the establishment Dems are controlled. They helped Mike Johnson retain speaker of the house, they helped pass the "big beautiful" and now they are actively helping to remove healthcare access. They will continue to support fascism over progress.

  • An orange cat crossed my path, what divine portent have I received?

  • You will be really excited to tell someone important news today, then forget what you wanted to say as soon as you see them.

    Worked out today in the home gym

  • My 1h meeting only last 4m30s

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, I had the opposite day today. A 5 minute check-in in turned into a 96-minute meeting.

  • I need to meal prep for the work week but have no idea what to make, did pasta salad last week for 5 days straight. Ugh

    Jump

  • This is exactly how I used to do it. Roast a whole chicken and make multiple different meals out of it.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • Frigidaire FFMV164LSA MFG in 2012

  • Checked there and searched online for any demo modes/ testing codes that would allow me to mute it. Evidently, a lot of folks online absolutely hate my microwave as well, because no one can mute it. That said, the community of microwave haters has provided me with instructions to rip out the speaker if I choose to silence the wailing banshee for good.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • My microwave has an un-interuptable 6 shrill beeps, that then repeat if the door is not opened in 10 seconds. There is no mute option, and it can be heard everywhere in the house. I have seriously considered just ripping the speaker out of it. It is, without a doubt, the appliance I hate most in my house.

  • If all your basic needs were met and you didn't have to work to get by, what would you do with your life?

    Jump

  • Some will probably exist as exhibition pieces in places like Williamsburg, but a lot of the practical skill and techniques are in danger of being lost due to lack of use. Among the skills that I would like to see preserved are things like flint knapping, blacksmithing (blade smithing is still doing fairly well), foraging, manual land navigation, and to an extent manual stone carving / banking masonry.

    Much of the manual nature of these skills has been replaced by automation or handheld electronics, so they are practiced by a dwindling number of artisans.

    Jump

  • Open a non-profit primitive skills school. There are several of these skills that are rapidly dying and will likely be gone within a generation.

  • What's your favorite movie soundtrack?

    Jump

  • Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

  • Not much to do today. Thinking of taking a nap

    Jump

  • Afternoon naps are the best!

    How do you nicely tell a loved one that they stink?

    Jump

  • Exactly. No fuss, and no muss. Be direct, but tactful. The more obfuscated you make this conversation, the more awkward it's going to be.

  • That is really cool and slightly terrifying.
