lol...
ideally with a garden hose standing by incase any cells rocket off
UPP cells: "To infinity, and beyond!"
I’ll do it in a metal bin
Who’s Naz? It sounds familiar
I forgot rule 6 existed
is encouraging people to buy sketchy yet usable shit part of that
we have rules for everything.
o
@Moxie Depends how sketchy üòõ
:thonk:
But don't worry, you'd get multiple warnings before any action taken for all but the worst offenses on this server.
Buy UPP

j/k.
it is time to teach y'all how to make a home made shock from all thread
“This is your brain”
“This is your brain on drugs”
*ignites UPP battery*
Go ahead. Get on.
nooooo
I’m not sure I see an issue
Please do me an education
it looks kinda bent
and "home made"
and "shock"
in the same sentence
scurs me
Yeaa that rod is just a weee bit undersized for that
fun fact, I literally decided to ride it until it broke with me jumping it over a curb, and proceeded to make another
-_-
~~and immediately took it off as soon as my actual shock came in~~
My degree in mechanical engineering has only made me more dangerous
My lack of degree makes me dangerous
I just throw shit together and hope for the best
I trust randomers on discord with advice on safety critical parts of my bike
Ignore me then
Unless battery
Or how to get hit by truck
The transformation is complete
Im currently working on a water treatment plant SCADA interface with no degree. The people of Hamilton should fear me >:)
Ok but you have been drug tested right? its not like they'd let someone high and drunk work on life critical programming right?
j/k, I know most programmers are high and/or drunk.
cause when your not learning new stuff its the only way to deal with the tedium of day to day programming
I love my job and I don’t need to be drunk/ high to do it lol
I’m an early morning person so I always arrive before 8 am. Travel time is 1 hour so I would be awake by 6, set off at 7 and get there by 8
Nothing wrong with that
If I live close by, my living costs shoot up
That’s a silly lazy murican idea
My commute involves mostly public transport and walking
Ah look an Americanised article
Where everyone drives and pays a lot
Work pays for all travel costs
The rail system in the U.K. was better before it was privatised
train, tram, bus, walk
all included with one greater manchester county card, about £110 per month
(inb4 but that's annoying you have to switch between train and tram etc)
this is what manc victoria train station looks like. Oh look it has multiple tram stops there too
the trams come every 30 seconds, it's seamless
if you're an early morning person like me, it's also a lot quieter
Now introducing the great American infrastructure: i waited 90 min for a lyft yesterday and then the app just cancelled my request, and I'm in a fairly busy city
A bus probably would have taken the same time
*looks at 4minute lyft time * ya man those wait times. Brutal.
I live 30 seconds from the office, before covid I was still late every day
Who am I kidding, I'm still late everyday. I like sleeping
^^ i resonate with this
Although im 18 ish mins out
1.7 hours by transit. 1hr if I use the bike for. Most of it and cheat the bridge with the train. New bike that can do the full round trip should get me down to about 40min
In actual traffic time around here, I can usually get around twice as fast on emoto than by car
If it's bad traffic, even more
Several traffic lights lined up where cars just sit there unable to move. The infrastructure was not meant for the amount of cars on the road here
Most arent
let's take a look at human population charts
now let's take a look at north american car sales
see a problem?
Oh man is my city ever car designed aha
Hamilton is an industrial car city with wide main streets
Edmonton is the same shit, Calgary, where the infrastructure?
Almost everywhere in Canada is like this with some exceptions
meanwhile los angeles 405 freeway
the horror
this is basically what I was in when I was trying to pick up my ex at LAX screaming in my car unable to do anything while she was going through customs
I'll admit I personally don't like motorcycles for long distance travel to other cities or states, but for in-city and even in-county travel, having 1 car person is absolutely stupid
if the world lived reasonable there'd be 1 car per household, max 2
the last house I lived at there were 4 cars in the household, 1 per person.
My grandma's house has 2 people and one RV, one show truck, one toyota truck, and two SUVs. For *TWO PEOPLE*
I guess it's nice they're not all on the road at once but damn.
There are so many people scared of two-wheelers for some reason, despite being in los angeles where the weather is perfect year round aside from like 3 days out of the year of heavy rain
like if you don't like motorcycles, get a scooter or something. Most people work nearby where they live. You don't like traffic but you take a car everywhere you go? Your fault
We are car friendly, until the road crews come out and shut a 4 or 5 lane road down to 1...
Then u get trucks the the size of intersections, moving into it when they obviously won't clear it by the time the light changes. Thus causing more blockage.
@Trenavix Here in BC, they charge you FULL Insurance for every car you wanna drive.
And a day pass on a vehicle, costs as much as 2 weeks insurance if you buy it by the 6~12 month period. (3 months is the shortest time you can get insurance for)
2 wheels are cool until you realize there's people we can't trust to drive in the rain on 4
Miko: Ok but if everyone had to drive on 2 wheels for a portion of their life, the worst would darwin themselves and improve the roads for the rest of us
Like those people who have been in 20 major car accidents already.
In my defense, darwinism would solve like... 50 percent of the stuff we complain about
and drive insurance rates through the roof -_-
Sure, the insurance company can increase their rates to get some money back...
but they also raise everyone ELSES rates, because with that person on the road, everyone else is more likely to get their vehicle totaled too
