we can’t stop anywhere

Why? No road stops anywhere in your 30h trip? No parkings in the city? No motels anywhere?

my final driving stretch is the final one and 30 mins of under 40 kmph in the city

More than half accidents happen a handful of miles from home. Most accidents are caused by intersections. You’re not less likely to have an accident cause you’re almost there.

Its also its past midnight and its empty roads rn.

So exactly when one of y’all almost killed me just days ago! Even better.

Havent seen in a vehicle minus trailers in the last hour

Good to know. We’ll know who to blame if a trailer goes off road.

There are no excuses. Don’t drive sleep deprived.

Ah, yes, 2h of sleep after 36h of consecutive waking time, now that’s safe.

It’s not a contest, you know. I almost got killed by one of y’all just last week coming back from the hospital late at night, sleepyhead almost shoved me in the ravine. You’re just as, if not more, dangerous as drunk drivers. I hope you get a DUI.

Fucking get some sleep before taking a couple tons of metal at highway speeds on the same road as other people. You used the term “unwise” elsewhere in the comments, I call it criminally negligent.

What do you mean by “useful for other stuff”? It’s still double the investment, what do you gain for this much, realistically, from a purely hobbyist, I’ll check things with my 6yo, PoV? Are we talking genuine trash to good, or more like acceptable to great?

“Du” is used in the sense of “some” milk, while “de” is more “of” milk. Not sure it’s the exact translation but that’s how it’s mapped in my French speaking ESL brain.

Do you already have underlying fungus issues? My guess would be that most people, myself included, don’t get overly crazy with washing their feet – some water and soap - yet don’t develop feet fungus either…

Yeah it’s not such a natural behavior for them to hang out in packs. They like to wander alone. Extremely individualistic animal. You don’t own a cat, they tolerate your presence in their home…

Although I did stumble on some kind of large cat group meet in an alleyway on a night walk, a couple of years ago. Having ~20 cats sitting in a circle staring at you in the dark is strangely intimidating…

Not a doctor obviously, but I’ve been taking escitalopram and vyvanse together as prescribed by my doc. Which should be where it is coming from, honestly, considering it’s basically diet speed lol

I’d love to be able to do this but I’d have armpit stains down to my bellybutton after 5 minutes. Hyperhidrosis is… fun?

The fuck you doing with your feet that you need them to be sterile

An Android phone/tablet with a USB adapter? If it shows up as some kind of HID, Android might pick it up…?

Reading comprehension seems difficult, so I’ll go over it again, quoted verbatim from my previous comment:

ADHD, never investigated but scoring high on ASD assessments

Here’s what you can deduce from this sentence:

• I’m ADHD
• I scored high on ASD assessment tests
• Never got diagnosed for it (it being ASD)

Here’s what you can’t deduce from this sentence:

• “random online tests”: the self-assessment tests I made were provided by both my family doc and official governmental health resources
• that I don’t have something because I don’t currently have an official diagnosis: do you think people with cancer don’t have cancer until a doctor says so? I spoke with professionals, but I’d need an adult assessment. Neuropsychiatric resources are already scarce for children as is it, getting an appointment for an adult over here is a rather difficult and time consuming process, for, in my case, discutable benefits

Why do you do this?

Or just go outside with the couple of other socially avoiding NDs and have a good time. You’ll never have fun if you go there expecting to hate it either.

I’m ADHD, never investigated but scoring high on ASD assessments. It can be fun, with the right people. It wholly depends on who’s there. I’m usually with the people sitting outside, having fun conversations over a beer and/or a joint. It’s just the genetic term for “gathering where there’s food and substances”. You’ll find that you can often meet other NDs overwhelmed by the amount of people and music waiting for you over there. Chill times.

Depends… The SSD or RAM is just, well, an SSD or RAM. Maybe for those model specific hardware like monitor upgrades, yeah.

Eh, I’m a fan of the principle that things should be serviceable. Framework is great in that regard. As for GPUs - my laptops are mostly work machines, and I don’t really need one past just displaying on multiple monitors and UHD/4k support, so most iGPUs are just fine for me. When it comes to laptops, tons of RAM+a decent build quality >>> most other things for me.

I’m in a similar situation as you are though, my current laptop is from 2018 and I don’t have any plans to upgrade short-term.

I never really saw a computer as an “investment”. They’re pure expenses as far as I’m concerned. Any of the ones I buy could break tomorrow. I don’t buy extended warranties, so outside the legal coverage, I’m SOL if something goes wrong anyway. Considering how bad repairability is with other brands anyway, it’s not like you’re throwing away much. Many of the components are just standard hardware, too - RAM, SSD…

Considering this, I don’t really see why I would deprive myself of buying something rather novel I’m interested in, given the product already showed some reliability, in fear of some potential hostile corporate takeover. YMMV, of course.

I mean, this logic could extend to desktop computers, and most people don’t upgrade theirs for years on end. But I can definitely see the sheer novelty of being able to do this with a laptop being a motivator…

I seem to remember FC to have been rather railroady at times since at the very least FC3. But agreed, these scripted events often end up being kind of silly.

If only I had that many drawers

The original story may have created some copycats?
