It was probably closer to $30, but a squeezy poop claw to clean up after my dog. Works so much better than a shovel.

Picked this up last week for a grand... couldn't pass it up. Holy crap it has a lot of tweakability. There's a bit of a learning curve to getting good sounds out of it, but damn does it sound nice once it's dialed in.

used to alert the rider that the software has overridden user input

I think this is the whole point. Riders were asking more of the boards than the boards could do, and when the board was unable to comply the rider would lose their balance. Haptic feedback tells the rider "nah, not doing that" so they're aware the board isn't going to do the thing and can adjust their balance accordingly.

“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”

I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can't rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.

Firefighters — who once backed the DeSantis takeover — are among those furious about the changes

"I didn't think the leopards would eat my face."

benefits like park passes are unethical.

Wtf. Perks are win-win. It's a trivial expense to allow employees to use existing company assets, but it's very valuable to the employees. Boss gets happy employees for less expense. Both sides are happy. No, that's bad because:

"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God," the passage began. "And those which exist are established by God. Therefore, whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."

Ok, I didn't see anything about perks there, but this logic supports gassing Jews (what the local authority wanted) and condemns smuggling them out of Germany (opposing God apparently).

These people are dangerously insane.

Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.

You gotta understand... I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you've never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.

Article: The phrase "Rich men north of Richmond" is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope

The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Calling everything racist isn't helpful. This song is a poor man's cry for economic justice, and instead of saying "yeah, that's the 1% we've been complaining about, come over to our side," the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.

Yeah, it's really bad. When I sort by Newest, the majority of my feed is spam trash from this community. Don't want to block the community, but if it doesn't improve I probably will.

"Sure, our guy is indicted for dozens of serious crimes you saw him commit on TV, but all their people are under investigation. Best not look into it too deep, conclude they're all corrupt, and keep voting for the party that reinforces your prejudices."

Metal AF

Mind you, I'm not putting my fingers near that thing, but I like it from over here.

I like the existence of downvotes. They help separate content the community has no feeling about from content the community actively dislikes.

I love that they're shown separately. This helps separate controversial opinions from ones the community doesn't care one way or the other about.

I like that you can see who downvoted. Looking at their profile can give some insight as to why they didn't like the content.
