I had a pretty short stint. Got my M1 license and CMX250 back in 2018. Rode it almost every day to work which was wild because the thing could barely max out at 80mph. Had a lot of fun with it but ended up selling it in 2020 because its insurance cost the same as the bike (about $1500/year). Haven't really ridden since then because I'm kinda house poor at the moment. I'm still eyeing getting a CMX500 or even a Kawasaki Vulcan S though.

It's never enough for these assholes. Musk wants the whole world to bend to his will because he bought the government fair and square. Some uppity government employee shouldn't tell him he doesn't have the authority to install more puppets in these agencies.

That was the last time Maple ever fucked with Link.

The only metric distance most Americans care to learn is 9mm.

Part of the reason has to do with insurance companies. The company gets a discount if they can prove there's a "drug free" workplace. It's not like it matters to the employees who likely don't receive insurance benefits because they're in an "uNskILleD jOb."

The little guys carry out the orders. Cut enough tentacles off the octopus and you stop it even if the head's still intact.

This feels so satisfying to read now that FEMA won't do much in the South. Will it fuck blue states over too? Yeah, but at least we have some money to fix it ourselves and have a better sense of community to help others.

It's almost mandatory to have a Mary Sue in situations where shit hits the fan in space. Otherwise you'll just have a dead character pretty quickly.

Guess I'm not a real fan then.

And that's how you can get the masses to turn on each other.

Watch its health carefully. It explodes when it dies.

The rest of the world's progressing to EVs and these clowns want to go backwards. They were too lazy and arrogant to research electric drive trains so now they want protectionism for their shitty ICE cars. It'll be a bittersweet day when GM can no longer compete and have to shut their doors and layoff their auto workers.

 

I'm planning to go to a rural spot that has a Bortle class 3 night sky around Southern California. Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly telescope with decent magnification for around $200? I'm not interested in using an accompanying smart phone app to go with it either. I'd like to see nebulae and galaxies the most. Thank you.

 

There should be a kind of "sorting hat" personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.

 

 

I followed the maintenance guide and applied belt lube as instructed. Friction eventually caused the motor to overheat. Support said they meant to include using all 4 ounces of lube that came with it at a time. I'll be getting a new drive board to replace the burnt out one soon. Yep.

 
 

I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture.

Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

 

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

 

I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.

 

Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS.

Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal.

UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.

 

I was considering buying a Chevy Bolt lately to use as my daily commuter but found out it collects a lot of data and phones it back. It's hard to do research on what kind of EV I could buy that doesn't collect your location data so I'm hoping someone here might have some good suggestions.
