Ya sorry I always get it mixed up with the % grade thing. When I'm in my car the dash reads on the hills here between 12° all the way up to 16° on the switchback into the valley. The new market is up a 14° hill. So closer to ~24% grade

My town is on the side of a volcano, a 30% grade is like the average hill here. That combines with the heavy weight of an ebike, another 50lb+ of cargo in the saddlebags, plus my exceptionally fat ass means I burn through a pair of front br

I find regen exciting for it's ability to slow down my brake pads getting shredded every month. The fact that I get some energy back from it is mostly a bonus.

I feel like Steam is the only legitimate option of the 4, the rest are walled gardens. I would have been very excited about this Galaxy XR development a year ago but today I don't care to even scroll down the page. Google's recent

Ah yeah, I misread/misunderstood. I though they were saying they are transitioning INTO an RIR, as in becoming an RIR themselves.

> The project is now transitioning to an RIR (Regional Internet Registry) RIR as in the orgs responsible for managing IP blocks? Huh? What does that actually mean in the context of a website like this?

If I look back at it, GNOME is likely responsible for me abandoning all of my attempts to transition to linux when I was younger. I had no idea KDE or alt desktop environments even existed back then and even now distros don't make it e

Ok, but what are you talking about? The only android on Windows I know about was the subsystem but that was shackled to the Amazon app store and was killed off when Amazon finally gave up on their app store.

The fact that people continue to willingly subject themselves to the internet without using an adblocker is insane to me.

The 60 bucks license doesn't matter. You just hop to another server. That's the entire point and why community moderation servers work. Why would a hacker keep coming back to a well moderate private server where they onl

As someone that was there at the time and also funded and ran many servers myself I can attest that this is and will always be the only real solution to hackers. But also judging from the other responses you got, the younger gaming communit
