Anyone had any luck with getting someone’s car insurance to cover damage when they hit you? Asking for a friend… I’m fine, no injuries, didn’t even get knocked off, but my back tire is FUCKED. Glad I have an appointment with Perennial for a tuneup next week…

My ebike died and can’t be fixed due to proprietary parts that are no longer made. Anyone know where I can take the frame for recycling/disposal? I’m going to strip off electronics and take them somewhere else, so just need to deal with the frame and wheels.

One of many sure signs that the AI push at work is BS is that I keep pushing non-AI automation suggestions and they keep getting shot down, which means (and I obviously knew this) that people don’t care about efficiency, it’s about justifying an investment.

I don’t consume everything that Racket puts out but what I do read is worth every penny I pay to them - I like that my money goes to cool people who love places and things that I love, and whose love is evident in everything that they put out. Congrats to Racket on (close to) 5 years!!

racket is five years old!!! i find that fact very hard to swallow and yet it’s true. here’s our fifth annual report to prove it. i feel very, very lucky that this is my job and my life!!!

A large portion of VerySmart media consumers think that all plot points and developments MUST be foreshadowed and if they’re not that means it’s an ass pull or a Deus Ex Machina. This goes double for multipart series. Chekov’s gun is a tool, not a legal mandate.

Guerilla forces across Minneapolis have mobilized, cordoning off dozens of blocks with improvised barricades to render them impassable by car, and gathering en masse in the middle of the street This is truly a dark day for our fair city.

Frey's last 2 MPD Chiefs resigned in disgrace. Frey's first public safety commissioner resigned after unusual social media actions with residents. His second public safety commissioner was unable to manage a budget, and ELEFA's latest report on MPD is scathing. Frey's results are not good.
