As a decade long, all season all weather bike commuter, I can attest that the Plantronics line of sport headphones have worked well for me. They are designed to be waterproof, and allow for background noise to be very noticeable (specifically NOT noise cancelling which is incredibly important when you’re out in traffic). They have a line that are individual buds, or a wrap around version (both have the same in-ear design that hook around your earlobe). I have and use both versions and have no complaints. There are probably better headphones out there but these fit that use case perfectly in my mind.

And morons who think voting for a third party presidential candidate means anything instead of working to elect down ballot candidates who actually could affect meaningful change.

Someone dressed like that would never go outside

not sure if that first question was genuine or if you are an american eligible to vote, but yes, every single member of the united states House of Representatives has to be re-elected every two years and very few people seem to realize that. meanwhile Jill Stein is running for president becuase she’s a complete asshole and russian operative.

The internet itself offers immense value across nearly all facets of life. The three websites that everyone uses do not.

Usually made for dinner these days but a breakfast burrito comprised of either scrambled or fried eggs, cheese, diced potatoes, with bacon or chorizo, smothered in cheese and a NM green chile sauce.

Strider at the Prancing Pony. Bilbo, his guests unexpected. Bilbo, when the thrush knocks! His arm’s raised! Legolas and Gimli; the caves glittering.

Unless they changed it in an update, the fighting mechanics are also a major hindrance. Last time I played you can’t hit stuff that isn’t on the same plane as you with any sort of accuracy. Love the game and have dropped hundreds of hours into it but every time my friends and I went in we got burnt out by the time we reached the plains.

Was trying to think of one recently and this is the one, although I have it on mobile as a train-ride pastime. Still stuck on the puzzle I’m on.

Autopilot will sometimes zoop you into the sun. You have to kinda get into the headspace of orbital mechanics to make it work right. That game is wondrous.

Did they change it from how it used to be where it was either brutally hard or you are immortal? I “played” through it on immortal mode because it is incredibly difficult and frustrating but I would’ve liked mode of “at least a bit of challenge.”

Because people like my idiot brother think “he trounced that ho in the debate.”

I litererally spent the past 20 minutes trying to articulate a nuanced response on that show but i could only ignite my own mount doom remembering how incredibly stupid the first season was.

But I heard Henry Cavil is going to fill in as the beloved and most important character of the appendix listing of: Forest Men (all of them) and they will be sure to guide Galadriel into a love triangle with the not-hobbits, sauron and the wampa (ice troll?) from S0101 and also sexy Shelob from that one game and also reallly sexy Ungoliant and Morgoth, but they’re married now and just living a quiet life in the country with some low key friends in another world.

this might have been an anime im thinking about though…

Biden used his direct power to cancel student debt for a lot of borrowers and the Supreme Court illegally blocked it so laws are meaningless in this country.

Can’t wait for the inevitable safety issues and flips and other bullshit accompanied when the government can’t just buy market products for basic tasks and has to engage with special vendors instead. Just drive fucking consumer vans around.

I think you meant forcibly trans’d immigrant vegans (also probably also vampires, as a treat).

After one piece of the Netflix one piece adaptation I finally hunkered down and watched the anime from start to (the current available dub c. Jan. 2024) which was about middle of the Wano arc. That show obviously was and is janky as fuck but there are some sequences in the Wano arc where I literally was like “that was some awesome and amazing fucking work” Especially when the former retainers did their initial invasion of Kaidou’s castle. (Been a while but that sequence of the three or four samurai’s initial invasion is honestly some of the coolest art I’ve seen in any anime, up there with randomly finding adult swim and watching the Cowboy Bebop opening back when I was 12)

If you meant edgerunners you’re right. If you meant 2077, you are also right. 2077 has some of the most beautifully crafted first person npc interactions of any modern video game. Phantom liberty made it even more incredible. Edgerunners got me back into anime after a good 15 year hiatus and now I have been thoroughly brainrotted. (Everyone needs to watch Kill La Kill and turn off your take-this-serious filter then ride the wave)

The attention to detail they took for such meaningless shots was wonderful. There’s a shot of Frieren crossing a stream then turning around to help Fern up the small ledge in an early episode that was so exquisite and unecessary but also completely necessary for the character development—just not stuff you expect in an anime series. If they had less of a budget that scene would be Frieren and Fern bobbing up and down without any additional movement.

Also the first dragon fight featuring Stark is so beautifully animated. I don’t think many people register how gorgeous that show is.

There would be a rather catastrophic malfunction of a certain golden escalator in 2015.
