It’s just a bad joke about ‘the out of the box experience not being great’.

I’m annoyed that the reports seem to be written and redacted to prevent any hint of the companies involved.

I’ll take “things that haven’t happened to me in years for a dollar Alex”.

where I should begin researching for the quality of e-bikes?

I would start here.

What about ebikes?

Your dad ought to consider joining a divorcee support group.

Your art is beautiful and I’m envious of your talent though.

They’re out there. Many won’t have overt support for volunteers, but if you call and inquire about volunteering they might say ‘welcome aboard’, or direct you where to go.

Alternatively there are volunteer support orgs such as https://www.justserve.org/ that may help.

I have almost zero daily social interactions

Volunteer with a cause you support. Very good way to get out of the house and meet people who you know share at least one similar interest while positively impacting the world. Joining local (chapters of) clubs is another way.

This image has been summarily removed in the past for ‘advocating violence’. Based on the bat signal which has been used many times in the past as a general deterrent for crime when Batman was known to be out of commission. The parallel here, when Luigi is currently detained pending trial, is obvious and as such doesn’t advocate violence and yet it is close enough the mods intervene.

reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person.

Unfortunately, the CEO’s threat to life is lawful which would preclude this defence. Not saying I don’t support Luigi. Just that it is a good thing nullification exists.

That’s easy. The moment the news reported the Americans had voted in a felon for president.

… wut? “The personal website of a university”?

What do you think ‘as much as possible’ meant in an era where they were ruled by one of the belligerents? Literacy is important indeed. The support he got was to protect local interests and not simply blind support for the Crown because the populace did not care to actually quell the American Rebellion, nor rebel themselves.

edit: “[Guy Carleton] hoped that his policy of conciliation would bear fruit, but only the Canadian clergy (led by Catholic bishop of Québec, Mgr. Jean-Olivier Briand) and the nobility (lords) responded with any enthusiasm to the call by British authorities. The general public remained relatively indifferent, viewing the war as a ‘battle between the English.’”

It did. We sent American Rebels packing and remained neutral as much as possible

Senior Hamas official Izzat el-Reshiq said via the group’s Telegram channel a few minutes after the Israeli announcement that Hamas was committed to the ceasefire agreement. Israeli media reported on Thursday night, citing anonymous government sources, that the disagreement had been resolved.

Without specifying the dispute, Blinken confirmed that there had been a “loose end” between the sides in the complex negotiations, which have included Israel and Hamas, as well as mediators from the US, Qatar and Egypt.

The harder MS tries to force Win11 on me the clearer it becomes how bad it is.

I will move to another office suit,install, and learn a completely new OS like Linux after 40 years of Windows before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner.

Win10 was bad but most of it could be removed/worked around. This time it’s clearly war against typical users so F it I’m out.

The mods disagree with her apparently.
