Hilarious or insane? You decide.
  • Honestly, I kinda get it. It's getting really hard to find real food. Fries taste WAY better cooked in lard. It used to be the norm, but is impossible to find now. Same with donuts or anything fried, really. Also gluten free stuff tastes like shit. I'm happy it became a trend for the actual celiacs out there though.

    I know this is meant to be funny, but animal fat > vegetable or palm oil any day.

  • City reveals it has $818 million in working capital to help pay for new downtown arena
  • I don't know much about the guy's track record in council. But I did tune into the debate before the mayoral election, and two things stood out. First, was that he sounded incredibly reasonable, which was a surprise to me as my leftist echo chamber had me thinking he was an extremist. Second, the whole debate was respectful, sane, and that all the candidates seemed to want the best for the city.

    Municipal political partisanship will destroy what seems to me to be the last bastion of cooperative politics in the country, which is a real shame.

  • Big cars are dead weight dragging down climate policy
  • The other day a jeep wrangler swiped my car in a parking lot and drove off. I wasn't there but a kind bystander saw it and left their number and the offenders license plate. The damage wasn't small, but also small enough for me to shrug off because it's a 2014 golf wagon and in the end it's just a car.

    But the hit and run pissed me off enough that I reported it. The cops found the driver who will be ticketed now and their insurance will go up. If they fessed up I'd have let it slide.

    At least your dude fessed up. And yes, they'd all have a much easier time parking if they chose a sensible car.

  • Car is too big for their own good
  • I hear you. But at the same time if you brodozered your wheelchair mover with a bush bar and off road tires, I'm still yoinking the step stool haha.

    More seriously, yeah it sucks there are so few practical vehicles being made that aren't the size of an Asian elephant.

  • Is cheap Chinese gear worth it?
  • Yeah, these ones are so useful in their simplicity. The handles are round, not ergo, which means I can change .y hand position easily and often. The non adjustable strap I thought would be a problem but it's the opposite. I can dangle them straightdown to go low on the pole (ha), or wrap them around my wrist to go higher. And they are a nice thin breathable fabric. They are lighter than carbon poles and look cooler and pack tiny. Love them

  • Is cheap Chinese gear worth it?
  • I adore my aonijie multicolored aluminum poles. Best pole design I think I've ever used, and it's an original design.

    My next tent will probably be a langshan. But I don't go out so often so don't need the best, and im short

  • YSK: You can press the Windows logo key+V to show up the clipboard history.
  • I use a keyboard remapper to change the key next to space (windows maybe? Not at my desk) to control. So acts like cmnd. You could do the same in reverse on mac instead. I also recommend changing right opt on mac to forward delete. Gamechanger, that one.

  • [discussion] What do you do with your e-bike when you go to a store?
  • While I story of understand you anger, as there are some fools out there that are using their illegal ebikes effectively as motorcycles on bike paths and sidewalks, they are:

    1. In the vast minority
    2. On a 60lb vehicle, instead of a 3000lb vehicle, and can do far less damage as a result.

    If you're going to get angry, get angry at cars, car-centric infrastructure, and the fact that people on ebikes don't have the proper cycling infrastructure to stay separated from pedestrians.

  • Thought you folks would appreciate this.
  • Good on them. I don't have the appetite for risk right now to do this type of activism, as I have a family to think about, but I wish I had done more in my 20s (I did some but didn't raise enough hell), and I intend to do a shitload more after I retire, if we're all still around.
