Copilot is like if you asked ChatGPT to create ChatGPT, but then pulled half the plugs, shorted out a bunch of wires and cut the budget by 90%.

Do you see or find the line blurring over time? I have to admit I'm having a hard time understanding how this is a total sugar daddy situation, like is there literally no romantic or relationship-like feelings at all here? Based on your description, at least from an outsiders viewpoint, it kind of sounds like you just enjoy spoiling your partner, and they are enjoying the trappings of your relationship.

I'm fairly active, at least as much as I can be with young kids on the loose and a demanding occupation. I get out to the mountains usually once a week or so in the summer on my mountain bike or dirtbike. Road bike once or twice a week too, it's on a trainer synced up with Zwift or Rouvy in the winter months. I'm not super hardcore with it on the trainer, but it helps to stretch the legs once or twice a week in the colder months. I work from home mostly, so because I don't get that commute or office walking in anymore, I find I'm often feeling pretty stiff.

I used to be a big skier in the winter months, but not as much anymore. I find skiing has become so thoroughly enshittified and overcrowded now, and I've always been uncomfortable with the very real risks of back country skiing. So other than a rare time or for work ("business meetings"), I don't ski that much anymore.

I'm also pretty thin to begin with, so I haven't really had to deal too much with the dad bod as of yet.

My answer depends largely on what I'm doing.

Ugg Nuemels are my casual favourite, much to the chagrin of my wife. Cole Haan Classic Oxfords if I have to dress up.

Activities wise, it has to be Five Tens on my MTB, I prefer Shimano shoes on my road bike, and Alpinestar Tech 7s on my dirtbike.

Not anymore. We do have one in the nursery for when the kids were babies, but it's mostly just decoration now and barely ever gets used.

I'd have to say no to this one. We enjoy each other too much. Money ain't everything!

I've been flirting with the idea of finding one for my 350. Obviously don't do a ton of road with it, but even just getting out to the trails, which are about 30 miles away, it would be nice to have. I'd like one where I could quickly remove it ideally, or there was a guy that's making them on brackets where they fold down over the headlight. Has to be better than nothing, but I also don't want it in the way on the trails.

Just pop the bead and pull a bit of the tire off and put it in that way. Nothing gets clogged if you do it that way.

Does that windscreen help a lot on the road?

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

You aren't crazy. Mine couldn't even make it around the block without several interventions. I'm god damn glad I didn't buy into the hype and pay for it.

If AI is so smart, couldn't it find its own uses?

Just another case of the cocAIne fraud bubble perpetuating itself even further.

They should hunt for the paperless society while they are down there. Or at least find my flying car, since I can't seem to.
