I wish I knew. I would have mailed a cd for free.

No thanks. She is all yours.

Linux Mint. It just works and I love it so much most of my YouTube content is about it 😅

The term your looking for is called “special pleading”. It’s when you ignore relevant facts to make your claim seem more legitimate.

“Yeah it’s a computer and computers can have glitches but it’s still better because it’s AI and it’s smarter than humans.”

It’s true computers are more efficient at some tasks than humans but there is no way we are anywhere near the level of having one of these things think like us.

I think a lot of people forget that machines and AI are not infallible gods. Like a few dings from some highly charged particles from space and next thing you know they flip a 1 and 0 somewhere in their code and run that instead.

You son of a bitch I’m in. Maybe I’ll buy a couple weeklies too 😅

I guess. But it was literally every result. I wish I got a screenshot. I wouldn’t bet an eye if I saw one or two articles but every single listing? It seems way off at that point.

Most people read the headline only and I’ve been guilty of doing it myself. What I’ve always appreciated is users who either submit the article with the full text in the comments or the post. A lot of the time I’m willing to read the whole article, I just don’t want to click through and load 5000 ads with three videos all at the same time.

This happened to me earlier but I was searching phrases in German and it was pulling results for the Israel and Hamas war exclusively. Nothing related to my term.

My search was “ Ein schwer zu tötendes Unkraut” which translates roughly to “a difficult weed to kill”.

I bought a laptop with an AMD. It’s been awesome.

The worst part is that he tried to blame me for the accident. After hitting me from behind on an official shared bike road. He managed to convince the dumbass cop to write ME a ticket for failure to yield. I got all that shit thrown out. I pushed to have the cop show up to court but the prosecutor couldn’t get the driver or the cop to show up. Funny that 😅

That guy may have convinced the rookie cop I was in the wrong but my lawyer got his insurance to accept 100% fault for the accident. They covered all my medical expenses and I got some money on the side as well. It wasn’t life changing money but I could put a down payment on a house now very comfortably. So it’s not like I got completely shafted.

There so so much to say about this. We could go back and forth for hours. I will look up what you suggested. I also was looking into full sized electric scooters as well such as the Vespa and the Paggio. It’s not a bike but it’s electric and it probably will give me a similar feeling. I’m in Taiwan right now and I rode my wife’s regular scooter the other day just fine so I think I’ll be okay with balance. It’s the pressure on my hips that’s the biggest holdback from getting in a bicycle.

Since you were cool I’ll share a few pics of the accident I plan to put in the video I’m making. I warn you it’s a bit graphic but it’s not blood and gore levels of graphic.

Edit: took down the photos.

It’s okay. I lived and I’m a hell of a fighter, I won’t give up despite all the crap I’ve gone through. If I can ride a bicycle one day, even just for a short ride. You damn well better believe I’ll do it and do it proudly.

I’m working on a YouTube video that will recount the story. It’s been difficult to make because I have to look at all the photos. Writing it down is one thing but actually recounting it has been problematic.

I doubt it will gain much traction but I do want to share the very graphic details so people can understand why it’s so important that we have regulations on the size of vehicles civilians in the US can purchase and to open up better, safer infrastructure for bicycles and e-bikes.

Firstly, thanks for checking on me. I appreciate that so much.

I’m doing alright. My hip was shattered by the impact. He also broke my foot and several of my ribs. The recovery was horrible though and I’m still at a major loss of function overall when it comes to using my left leg.

I have a permanent dead spot on the left side of my thigh since they had to cut the nerve to do the surgery. I walk with a cane now and it’s unlikely I’ll ever get on a proper bicycle again due to the discomfort I experience these days.

Also this is a bit weird, but my ankle is super problematic. It didn’t get broken or hurt at all but I can barely move it anymore. The doctors said it would get better with time but as I’ve mentioned it’s been about a year and I still haven’t seen any improvement.

I still have a wheelchair I use from time to time if waking or standing becomes too much of an issue. I hate using it though because someone gave me a hard time about it in a parking lot when I got out of it to load it in my car. I wasn’t parked in a handicap spot or anything since I can exit and enter my vehicle just fine. I just don’t want to roam around Costco with their stupid beeping cart and I move faster in my manual chair overall. The guy was being a jackass obviously but still, the interaction makes me reluctant to use it.

You got it half right. I’m absolutely wasting your time dickhead 🤣

My time has been paid for so I’m good.

I got hit from behind by a pickup truck on a bike road last September. These oversized emotional support vehicles are the first that need to go.

Good now we’re making some progress. Now that we are here why not just admit that you were being unreasonable?

I’ve got about 4 more hours to kill so if I need to be your online therapist for a bit I’m game.

Nah, this must be your first encounter with someone who is equally as big of an asshole as you.

See I’m willing to admit that. Your turn now 🤣

Bro, at this point what are you doing? I mean seriously stop and look at the discourse of this conversation and ask yourself if you’re okay. Do you need mental health support?

My excuse is that I’m on vacation, literally being paid to fuck off on the internet and fuck around in another country. You’re so obsessed with trying to flame me back that you aren’t even willing to accept that I was trying to be nice and admit we have a misunderstanding.

This qualifies you for one of two things. You’re either an unreasonable asshole or your ego is so fragile you cannot possibly accept being wrong for an entire moment. Get some help, you need it.

Not really. Actually I’m waking up from a whiskey hangover and your comment was the first thing that came across my desk. The response felt appropriate since you are in fact being an unreasonable asshole.

I bet you love riling people up from your moms basement while rubbing the Cheetos dust on your oversized belly. Did that hit too close to home? Good. Cry about it to someone else.

Hey asshole. Go fuck yourself. I hope that derails your morning.
