Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I'm just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.
Are there people so attached to a particular handle that they only want to use THAT handle for the rest of their lifes?
Trees need plenty of soil and surface area for that soil, which city landscapers rarely provide properly.

Yeah this was 100% required reading in my language arts class growing up. He starts a relationship with a blind woman too. And the company that manufactures the electric blanket knows about the issue and pays him off to keep him quiet.

What stops the staples from scratching the fuck out of your phone?
Looks like a homemade golf cart.
Unlike all the safety violations, stagnant wages, and corners cut by companies in this country?
Standards that trucks are exempt from and don't measure up to European standards?
Oh sorry, I thought we were shitting on US car manufacturers.
Fucking protectionism.
You know what would be nice, cars that don't fucking spy on you and sell your every move and location.
Yeah I saw Matt Ferrel's video on this: https://youtu.be/SQKHJm7vd4E?si=HI9VaesTVO8sMJ-z Why would this mean traditional designs are outdated?
Given hurricanes tend to destroy wind mills, they will have to be beefy af.
Hmm I read the article 5+ years ago and my searches haven't found it so you should probably take my words with a grain of salt.
Members of the house of lords were the ones buying the rail up at dirt prices.

Started on AMC+ and now it looks like it's on Prime. I haven't watched it yet but it seems promising and the fight scene I saw looks pretty over the top and epic.
Hydrogen fuel-cell e-bikes can be "recharged" in seconds
While most ebikes on the road today will come with a battery pack, some are riding down the hydrogen fuel-cell cycle path. HydroRide not only has fuel-cell ebikes available, but also a compact refill station to top up H2 canisters.

How do I use a dry herb vape properly?
So I have used a resin vape pen, a thc disposable and edibles and while the disposable makes me cough if I inhale wrong, the dry herb vape will straight up make me throw up due to little bits of weed getting inhaled. Is it a technique issue or maybe I ground it incorrectly,

I feel like he does a pretty good job explaining the origin of the suburbs from a geopolitics position, though some of the youtube comments are unhinged.
I've noticed that standard vapes make me cough out my lungs, every. Freaking. Time.
But my rosin vape doesn't do that. I might cough if I puff too many times in a row but even then it doesn't hurt, just tickles. What is added to standard vapes that I am reacting too? Is it a quality problem or should I just get rosin from now on?
So I found a cheap bridge camera that I have free access to. Is it worth learning on.
I have free access to a family member's camera but it really isn't the best. I think it has a 1/2" sensor though the sensor is not listed anywhere on the box or in the manual which I guess is a red flag. Should I wait and save up more money to buy a better camera or could I use this one to learn on?
Why do so many videos and even online camera stores call the 4/3 type sensor "Micro Four Thirds" when Micro Four Thirds is a mirrorless camera mount format?
I get that they sound similar but they absolutely are not the same thing and its use implies that there are only mirrorless cameras.

Is there a thread or pinned post to ask basic technical questions or about gear?

I am sure this would work for messenger bags, camera bags, or really any bag. And hard board backing could be added to them from rubbing on the wheels.
I got this guy second hand and have some big plans for it.

> I had been looking for a bike to get around my local city and managed to snag a Huffy cruiser for $50. It is in decent shape with only some superficial rust on the pedals. This will be a big learning experience for me as I haven't ridden a bike for nine years. I'll both learn how to use a bike to run errands and how to do some of my own maintenance. Maybe even customize it a bit by adding a frame lock and a 3 speed gear hub. I guess we shall see how far I get in this learning and fitness quest.

Can a "Dutch" utility bike be made in the US?
So I live in the US and I have seen a few videos proclaiming the virtues of Dutch style bikes including NoJustBike's video. They all are saying that these bikes cannot be found in the US but couldn't one just buy a step through frame and just add the missing features themselves such as a chain guard and parallel handle bars?
