Outside… Watching my neighbor get the mail… Straight up archin it… And by it… I mean my feets

If only Johnny had known, life would be so clear

It’s not always a conscious decision, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t sometimes. I would argue that many more bad drivers are just bad drivers rather than they can’t help it. I could be very wrong about that, but it won’t change my anger when someone almost causes a pile up because they didn’t look before changing lanes, you know?

I do agree that having poor/no public transportation (and no sidewalks!) is terrible, and I think a lot of cities that want to keep their residents alive are working to fix that, such as the city I live in. They’re adding sidewalks in a bunch of places and making downtown more walkable, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still mostly stroads!

The roads here are super bad, for sure. But it’s not exclusively the politician’s fault! Just mostly ;)

You can’t forget that these drivers are making the conscious decision to not be careful in a multi ton flattening machine

I watch people do this all the time on local roads! It happens on interstates here as well!

Just yesterday I almost had someone pit maneuver themselves on the front of my work truck (that was towing a heavily loaded trailer!) I still don’t know why they didn’t just slow down and go behind me (or SPEED UP A LITTLE MORE) rather than almost cause a terrible accident, since they turned right 20 seconds later and had ample time to do so

I withhold my “MANIAC” comments for the people around here that weave in between lanes, no turn signal, tailgating, going 20 over

It honestly makes my blood boil with just how irresponsible people that drive like that are

Does lemmy.ml allow “doo doo”?

Mitch is a barbarian because he cuts his grass to 4 inches and not 3.5 like the HOA requires! I know because I measured it while he was at work!

“can you go get a knife out of my a knife drawer?”

“Your what”

I’ve noticed the weird formatting stuff when people try to spoiler mark stuff but it’s not marked at all, what’s the other strange formatting it fails at?

Also still waiting for swiping a post away to show the previous page instead of a black void but that’s super minor! Otherwise I really like Sync

At least when you say certain keywords to your pets they show some emotions!

Try saying “potty?” to an LLM and decoding its response to gauge if it needs to go potty or not, Google!

11.6 mega bites

Absolutely, I was pretty upset when Google added Gemini to their Messages app, then excited when the button (that you can’t remove) was removed! Now I’ve updated Messages again and they brought the button back. Why would you ever need an LLM in a texting app?

Edit: and also Snapchat, Instagram, and any other social media app they’re shoveling an AI chat bot into for no reason

Edit 2: AND GOOGLE TELLING ME “Try out Gemini!” EVERY TIME I USE GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON MY PHONE!!!

Of course! If you need any more “in depth info” (ranting) about just about anything else related to solar, I’m your man!

My favorite subtitle moment from Star Trek (I don’t remember which one) is the “Everyone prepare for a Happy Birthday!” on Netflix

That was the funniest thing little kid me had ever seen

I’m not sure about other EVs, but the Ford Lightning specifically has a whole home inverter/backup interface that allows you to safely plug your EV in using the same Ford charger you use to charge and power your home in an outage, automatically switching between the grid and the Lightning

I only know this because I had to install one for a customer, so again no idea if that’s as streamlined for other EVs

You underestimate the power of the Dodge Ram

Actually thanks is already plural so it would be thanks’…

Alternatively: levels of “oh no” for an upcoming essay

I can kill a mosquito by clapping my hands

The pig would probably think I’m petting it or something

Edit: for the record I mean no ill will, I just thought it was funny to say because well, mosquitos are tiny!
