Maybe, but look at the pinephone (also all linux users should be banned from ever naming anything, ever)

I want one. It has so many features I fucking love.

I’m way too computer stupid to make it work

Went on a spontaneous trip very recently.

Spent a little more money than I’m comfy with.

Truck sprung some issues.

Saw some things I would never have seen otherwise. Some beautiful things, creatures, happenings, and places.

I’ll fix the damn truck. Make the money back (or so)

Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy? Yeah, the human world sucks, but you don’t need all the garbage they sell you, and there’s worthwhile experiences you won’t get with your nose stuck down to the grindstone.

I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.

I’ve had multiple friends die driving. They never thought THAT was a risk.

Go somewhere you don’t plan to. It aint gonna last forever

Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They’re dirty right now. I’m not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

Hi! Made an account over on some other lemmy server, and apparently the guy running it was old, had health problems, and (rightly so) stopped giving two shits about an internet forum.

Reddit sucks enough I’ve tried again. It’s going okay. I don’t give enough of a shit to really figure how the whole lemmy/fediverse works, but at least it aint corpo garbage

Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren’t shitty for the sake of being shitty.

Where perhaps, good things could just be good.

I mean, yeah I am. I don’t trust a shop to do it

Ah yes, thousands and of other products built to be as or more disposable than the first element that blew.

Why do the boats keep coming, filled to the brim with garbage you never actually needed?

When I’m camping I take a memory foam mattress topped with a sheepskin.

Which is what we were sleeping on during that story.

Which is approximately 10,000% more comfortable than any cot I’ve ever used

This must be on modern monstrosities, I’ve literally never encountered this.

The newest vehicle I’ve ever had was a 95, and I am entirely unimpressed with anything made before 93

I’m never using biometrics on any device. Fuck that

Oh ho ho!

Well, are we talking stuff scored at the bar, or on the drunken stumble back?

Because I have a penchant for grabbing city property that’s been wiped out by some drunk driver already.

Bike racks. Innumerable signs and posts. A fire hydrant, a big fucking fatty, too. Car parts EVERYWHERE That yellow grippy stuff at the crosswalk. Many, many signs and posts. A whole assed traffic light (fucking finally)-not the post. Jesus, not the post. Yes, I tried. A wooden telephone pole (I had help, and we sang chanties while we did it) The lightbox with the little man and hand. It works! So does the traffic light :)

For the record, drinking and driving IS nevada’s state pasttime, and a friend of mine once scored two actual streetlights, posts and all. Bastard tried to sell them to me :/

Why don’t you save All the money you’ve earned?

If I didn’t eat, I’d have money to burn!

Don’t let a couple kooks spook you.

If you’re rough on your body, they can be an absolute godsend.

I’m at the point where I can’t always get my skeleton to go back to where it ought to be, and a good chiro can find exactly which bones aren’t.

Last one I went to was during a bicycle tour. The campsite wasn’t ideal, and I awoke not being able to look left. Like at all. Turn to the right, ow that hurts, try to turn left, head stops straight forward, sharp spike of pain and no further movement.

Well whatever. Break camp, mount up, ride a couple miles. Now I’m warm and loose, right? Do some stretches. Go through as much of the routine as I can, get some pops and creaks, but still can’t turn my fucking head. Slightly better.

Pedaling like this is a fucking bastard, because it’s not just my neck, I’m all fucked up, but the road lies ahead and we go.

Get into town some hours later, have some lunch, a couple beers, still can’t move for shit, see a sign for a chiro. Guy does walk-ins, thank god. Gets what we’re doing, says ‘well, I’m never gonna see you again, so I’ll do the best I can in one go’

I think that motherfucker popped every goddamn vertebrae in the whole spine, and some of em twice.

Felt like a new man. Finally felt those beers. Rest of the tour went fine

I bet you like nuclear.

Cool, when those heating elements are shipped over here via bunker fuel. I’ll bet a boatload of those coming over is more emissions than running a NG burner for a decade

I’ll quit using gas the day shipping vessels go back to being fucking wind powered

I think you completely misunderstood their response.

Swapping a heating element is easy.

Running some pipe is also easy.

Whether the OP has gas running to the house is a whole other question

Acetylene does, gas lines are standard pipe.

Suppose it’s cause natural gas runs at like, 1-3 psi, while a fresh tank of acetylene is 5,000?

Least in the US

Unibody cars, as in, the ones with the pinch welds under discussion, don’t have a frame

The sheet metal is the frame.

Which, in my opinion, is why nobody gives a shit-any car built like that was built to be disposable fucking garbage.
