Hello!
I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

You might not. Many Americans might not. But the internet is annoyingly US-centric and can be frustrating to use as a non-American. A random example: Numerous times I’ve gone to sign up/purchase something and put “Canada” as the country and the “State” and “Zip code” boxes never changed. I have been denied purchases and registration several times because the website was coded to only accept US zip codes even if I change the country.
So many sites just assume everyone is American, speaking American English, and interested in American things.
That much weight cantilevering off the front fork seems like a nightmare for stability and steering.
A downhill bike with compromised safety equipment is such a recipe for disaster. A KG saved isn’t going to mean much when you wrap your neck around a tree trunk because your brakes were undersized and you couldn’t slow down in time.
Meh. They had plenty of time to move to Firefox but they ignored all the warnings.
Simple indeed, but getting people to actually stop using that trash heap website has proven to be very difficult.
I am very tired of Twitter users doing nothing but complaining about site changes and Musk yet they still just sit there… doing nothing about it. You’d think it’d be easy to rip the bandage off when it’s covered in fascist propaganda but apparently not.
This. This this this. I drive and cycle and I hate it when drivers try to surrender their right of way to me. Other road users aren’t going to know about it and I am putting lives in danger if I accept their offer.
The absolute best thing you can do, regardless of mode of transportation, is to be where you are expected to be when you are expected to be there. Bending the rules is how people die.
You’re 100% correct, but I will point out that the iPhone hasn’t really seen any significant design changes since the 11 - arguably the X. That was seven years ago. The same thing has been happening with their Macbook lineup where only just recently have they made major product design changes to replace their 10+ year old designs. The new Macbook Pros were a welcome breath of fresh air and indicated a shift in a new, positive direction for their Mac platform. *
The iPhone needs a similar refresh, imho.
*for the hardware, at least. They’ve made some questionable software choices for MacOS such as iPhone-ifying the settings menu.
It’s an LG G8. One of the few phones that has a high quality DAC and amplifier in it. It sounds amazing with a good set of earphones and has plenty of options to tweak to your liking.
I wanted a dedicated DAP such as one made by Fiio, but they are astronomically expensive. My LG G8 was $200 after tax and a Fiio M11S is $700 before tax. I could bargain hunt for a better price but the G8 would always be cheaper. And because it’s a phone, it has more features and power than most dedicated music players (many of them are powered by ancient chips and struggle to do basic tasks) I just stick a large SD card into it and put it into airplane mode if I’m not using a streaming service.
