Ah, cool! Well AC pretty much solves my hesitations here in AZ, lol. But I know a lot of northern states still might want AWD as an option.


My two immediate concerns would be whether it comes with AC and is there an AWD option. Both of those could be deal breakers towards the borders. I guess they’re not absolute deal breakers (we bounced around AZ in a '71 Datsun pickup that had about the same specs as this a kid) but they certainly would be huge QOL improvements as options.


I think it will depend on if they have lots of USB power conveniently available. Like you could literally make your own stereo with two bluetooth speakers and a phone as long as there’s plenty of USB power and mounting points.


Being able to launch it locally if you can’t save open or locally seems extremely pointless.



So I reconnected with an amazing woman I’ve known since sophomore year in high school during the pandemic and we’re fell back into being really close friends supporting each other during pandemic isolation. I believe the attraction initially went both ways and if I’d been willing to travel a LOT we could have possibly tried for a long-distance relationship. But none-the-less, we are still good friends to this day, although it kills me a bit to watch her go from bad relationship to bad relationship just because they are all local rather than 800 miles away, lol.


Anything where the scenery moves, yes I am enjoying it whether I’m riding, biking, hiking, inline skating, trail running, etc. I think part of what works for me is I almost never repeat the same route twice and if I feel myself getting burnt out on one activity I switch it up and do something else. Too much road biking? Go mountain biking? Too much of any kind of biking. Go trail running or inline skating, or at least go for a hike.

But weights and gym stuff? No. Just no, I cannot.

I’m not a techie guy either, so I may be way off base on my expectations of how things work too.

Mostly I just meant that as long as the domain is a single one (@facebook.com) or whatever, then it’s quite easy to defederate from for any server, or for an individual user to block completely if they want. (Or at least it is on Mastodon.) But yes, I support Meta being able to link up as long as they do it on an equal footing with the rest of the Fediverse and in a way that isn’t a blatant attempt to run some sort of EEE op.


I personally think the proper approach is to limit them to one instance. If they suddenly start trying to distribute a Meta “easy setup” variant of their server or something such that anyone can set up a Fediverse Meta-based server, that’s where the line should be drawn. That does have the potential to run an EEE play.

However, if everyone from FB wants to be able to subscribe to Mastodon or Lemmy content from their FB account, that’s not nearly as big a deal to me assuming they all come from @facebook.com or whatever. Because worst case, people just block that one server and their embrace is over.


I have been using the Brooks Ghost series in all black as my go-to everyday wear for the last 4 or 5 years and really like them. Unfortunately, so does the rest of the world because it’s basically impossible to find them on sale, alas.
