   Lmao, a dude from San Francisco trying to justify his own landlordship back in the midwest. Amazing.

   Is this some sort of weird gotcha or are you sincere? Joint damage is not really statistically correlated with long distance running, and anyone targeting a sub 20 minute 5k is going to have their weight and form so dialed in, it probably i

   There’s a similar sentiment in the music/audio mastering world; test your mix on crappy speakers.

   I mostly agree with you; but what if knowing being “available for work” means being available for a specific 8 hours of the day is crucial to my mental health? On call is brutal. What if I want to go camping, hiking, on a road trip? I’m on

   How is outside dining in any of the east coast blue states? Do you even know? Outside dining in the PNW was(prior to Covid) and is chugging along just fine.

    This actually highlights how genius the AWS pivot was. Even though Amazon might lose retail clout, other retailers _are still paying oodles to Amazon_ - but for servers. It boggles my mind how short sighted the move to the cloud is. The out

    Maybe but they don't have mountains, fjords, ocean and freshwater beaches, world class job markets(I know, I know; remote), and mild weather year round. For some such as myself the choice is anything but simple. In fact I left Seattle

    Boston was incorporated two hundred years before Los Angeles. Of course it is going to have more beautiful, old houses. Of course it is going to have more walkable neighborhoods. But what I'm more interested in is this: > Nearly eve

    > But what’s that gonna provide for me? Nothing. Bike manufacturers and smaller builders are not trying to sell these bikes to you or to people like you. How hard is it to enjoy your "normal bike" and move on? Some people ride

    Sadly, things have gotten to the point where I would not leave my bicycle unattended outside for any meaningful amount of time in any big city in the world. Lock or not. I even have stories of friends/coworkers having their bikes stole

    I think likely the idea is that destabilization is good, and the more destabilization- regardless of left or right- the better. Though for some reason I suspect you already know this.

    Bob only became heavily invested because the scummy landlords he rents from jack up the cost of his housing arbitrarily every year.

    No, I want to be able to protect my catalytic converter.

    So we’ve got a government that isn’t enforcing any sort of rule against catalytic converter theft but is also forcing us to pass an emissions test after someone steals my catalytic converter.

    That’s true, but the vast, vast Majority of people getting their cats stolen are Honda Element and Toyota Prius owners.

    Right, but it won’t impact the livelihood of the victim which is the reason the person I am responding to has justified violence in response to catalytic converter theft. For what it’s worth I think people should be able to defend their pro

    I’m pretty sure any car equipped with a catalytic converter is still perfectly drivable if the catalytic converter is removed.
