That’s about where I land. I’ve used it the other way, too, to help tighten up a good short story I’d written where my tone and tense was all over the place.

I’ve used LLMs to write automated tests for my code, too. They’re not hard to write, just super tedious.

First flight in 1903, on the moon in 1969. That’s 63 years. There are people who lived an experience where flight went from impossible to us planting a flag on a different celestial body. That’s incredible when you stop to think about it.

I got a manual for a few reasons, but the big one in my mind was fewer moving parts, and something that I can actually maintain myself. I’ve actually rebuilt a transmission before, and while it’s not the easiest thing to do, I already have the tooling required to pull a transmission and disassemble it.

I’m not redlining my 2002 v6 pickup truck so it’s not a performance thing. It’s just something I like. I like the engagement even if it’s a pain in the ass sometimes.

I’m just getting into cycling and I’m super lucky to have gotten my dad’s old tri bike for free. He had it all kitted out and it’s pretty well perfect for me. It was in pristine shape until I wrecked it a couple times. One of them requiring 24 stitches.

So I guess that’s the most expensive hobby I’ve had - not in terms of financial cost, but definitely in terms of blood drawn!

Protip if you’re not used to race bikes: they can be a lot twitchier than you might be used to!

The Revolutions is also excellent
