Curious about your diet, and where you get your food? Also curious how that scales to 350 million people (to feed the US)?

I'm not remotely implying what we're doing, as a society, is right or sustainable but it's super easy to just say "Just stop doing bad things".

Solutions, at scale are quite complicated and nuanced. Private companies that grow our food at scale now will only participate if it's profitable.

Also, if you're not sustainably growing your own food, are you not just like the rest of us (Part of the problem)? I know I don't have the land, or time to grow my own food.

Sticking our head in the sand (current administration) is definitely not gonna turn out well, so I'm guessing there's some fun times ahead!

I used to love track days on my 600. Passing the 1ks in turn 1 after they went zooming by on the straight :)

I raced a couple years and have had the pleasure of visiting a number of tracks within a few 100 miles of Cincinnati, Ohio (Mid Ohio, Grattan, Pitt, Putnam, Nashville Speedway, Autobahn)... This was back in the mid 2000s

Been able to get back to a few of them on 4/wheels the last few years too.

So much fun!

I raced a 2004 Suzuki GSXR600. Belows a picture before it was turned full race (at Deals Gap / Tail of the Dragon) in Tennessee /North Carolina.

Man I loved that bike!

On street or track? If track, which one? I miss getting all done up in my leathers and ripping on my sport bike(s)

I second this...

I moved from YNAB4 -> nYNAB -> YNAB4 -> Actual Budget... Not going back. I would like a native android app, but outside that all's good.

Make elon (Tesla) accountable for accidents/deaths, and I bet they'll either disable it or make it work (which I think is a long way off).

Straight up heartbreaking...

These things probably need to figure out how to get the word out about them before they're actively happening.

I don't feel like I'm blocking any community that would post this and Lemmy isn't big enough to miss something that gets any traction, but this is the second "nationwide" protest that seems to have no lead up that I've run across.

An incredible run... My best half is exactly an hour slower. And I'm pretty confident I cannot run one 4:20min mile.

Ya, I watched this last night and it is definitely an interesting idea. A 600hp NA 911 sounds like a fantastic idea :)

Reread what I originally wrote...

I was, in fact, expressing how silly it is for someone to assume the Cybertruck owner was a Nazi or wanting to suck off Elon. That it couldn't possibly be owned by someone that loves EVs or the Cybertruck for their own reasons not within the narrow narrative associated with someone that would purchase such a vehicle assumed in this thread.

That's all the more effort I'm putting into this.

[–] dmtalon 1 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Seems a question you'd have to ask the person that bought it, not me.

I think everything about them is stupid. EVs in general do not fit my use case.

I do track days / time trials in my fun car I tow a boat and haul stuff with my truck (sometimes hundreds of miles). I guess if I could have a third commuting car a EV might work, but I use my motorcycle for that whenever possible.

You can have my upvote, but commenting here risks the echo chamber that is Lemmy to attack this comment too.

This place is perfectly OK stooping as low as the "other side". Our violence is justified, theirs is not. Under no circumstance is the owner of that Cybertruck owned by someone that LOVES EV's and just loves its looks/capabilities. They absolutely must have bought it because they support Nazi's, no other reason. Everyone else here is virtuously perfect.

So each 'side' of America keeps stepping lower, justifying it by the previous act bringing us deeper into this hell we're building in real time.

For the record, Elon can go f%$k himself, but under no circumstances am I going to inflict violence/anger on a random AMERICAN going about their day in their stupid Cybertruck.
