I live in the south and just spent a week in the PNW. While the lack of lifted trucks was nice, there wereso many damn Cybertucks and model Ys. I rarely see a CT here but they were everywhere out there. It was wild. Beautiful place though.

Middle management on a power trip?

What a pointless response.

The US is much larger than almost any European country. Also, the protests have been the largest in American history, which I think is significant considering how brow beaten the people are by media, politicians, and the education system. You act like there is a switch somewhere that will make all this better, but with the difficulty of modifying our constitution the only way that really changes is a total revolution, which does not guarantee a better government in it’s place, but does guarantee pain for all but those that can afford to escape. Why don’t you get that this isn’t easy? Trust me, I wish change had happened sooner, and I have used my vote and my voice to advocate for change, but I’m also willing to consider nuance and be sympathetic, which appears to be beyond your grasp at this time.

Nobody is doing anything according to your world view presented by the media you consume. There have been massive protests, but the surveillance state backed by the biggest military in the world doesn’t give a fuck what we want, and has shown it takes no issue with killing protestors. The billionaire parasites own the media and the vast majority of the means of communication, making it difficult to network and coordinate. Look at the guy facing terrorism charges for usung his duress pin code. He protested against Cop City, was placed on a watch list, and slapped with bullshit charges as soon as possible.

I think the only ones I kind of miss are the “you mean X, Y is” and the hell in a cell ones.

No, that’s Jason Bourne.

Fair points in general, but OP is talking about the Steam Machine, not the Deck.

Doing the Cord’s work.

Did you predrill a pilot hole?

Vacuum wipers in 1989? 59 maybe. Sounds like the alternator output was too weak to keep up with the electrical demand of headlights, blower, and wipers.

Then I pay more money because fuck Amazon.

I mean, looks to me like they lit a mortar shell without the launch tube? Next level idiocy if so.

I appreciate the consideration. Honestly, I can see better now than in my 20s thanks to years of conscious effort to train my brain to use that eye too. When I finally got a vision test at around five years old, I was already pretty bad off in the one eye, but the other was fine at the time, so my brain just kind of learned to use it for peripheral vision and not much else. Hopefully I don’t get macular degeneration or a detached retina, but what can you do but make the best of it? Take care out their folks, and get your kids eyes checked!

As far as I know only one company does, so uh, hope you like them because it’s that or glasses thick as a submarine window. Even with the -16 I can still only get to 20/50 vision thanks to the early onset cataracts caused by the extreme myopia. Is what it is though, I don’t complain.

Could be worse, -12.5 and -16 in contacts for me. Prefer it to being blind though.

Do people even play video games?

/s

That’s been my take on it for sure.
