I cannot imagine why that would be an issue. My sympathy.

I think I've decided not to do that bikecamping across PEI trip this year.
For one, I can't afford it. I have debt I need to work off and a trip across the island would be too costly, even if I'm camping to save on accommodations. Getting food every day or paying for campsites or touristy things would all add up.
Two, I don't know anyone who could look after Ruff & Tuff for over a week.
Three, the beginning of my vacation (June 6) is getting too close and I haven't planned enough. I haven't tried making any plans or an itinerary, and certainly haven't looked into where I could camp along the way.
Four, I just don't think I'm in good enough shape for it. Doing Graves Island took a lot out of me. I feel like I'm still recovering in some ways. Mind you, that was biking 80 km two days in a row. The daily KMs across PEI would be shorter. But even biking 30-40 km in a day leaves me exhausted and hurting for a few days.
Maybe I'll do shorter bikecamping, overnight trips around here during my days off.

Last year I planned one week of vacation in juli. I don't feel like take it right know.
I usually don't plan much ahead for my vacation.
You'll get there, just do what you can.
I saw my first Cybertruck in the wild yesterday. I've seen plenty of photos of them online, but when you see them in person on the road next to all the other cars... wow, it is so goddamn ugly. It looks like how I used to draw cars as a child when I couldn't draw cars. It's flat ...steel-whatever makes it look like a car in a video game that hasn't finished loading. It looks so horrendous next to every other car on the road. Even Li'l Z, who is generous to so many cars, called it hideous. It makes the Aztek look like a precision vehicle of design and aerodynamics. It seemed like every driver I saw was laughing at it. I can't imagine not being embarrassed to have spent money on that thing.

I've seen several here in B/CS and good lord if they aren't the four-wheeled rolling definition of visible hubris and shame.
I think they are definitely ugly, but I am still excited at the prospect of potentially reducing our proclivity for porcine-like use of petroleum products.

Problem is, they will be pointed to as the "inevitable and unavoidable failure of the EV industry" by the Jalopnik crowd, ultimately setting back EV adoption.
Something I never expected I'd have to yell at a cat:
"No, Ruff, don't play with the poop!"
It was a dried up, hard piece that somehow got kicked out of the litter. Didn't make a mess or anything but still. Come on, cat. Be better than that.

Tomorrow I have to make a small detour coming back from work to a shop I'm not used to. I sort of know what the entrance looks like, but I wasn't entirely sure about what the crossroads looks like nowadays (it's a complicated 7-way ball of crap so which lane is the right one to end up on the right parking lot? Fuck if I know). So I went to Google Maps to have a quick look around. This used to be a fairly reliable way of looking at what the street looked like and what to expect.
I immediately spotted something was off. So I checked the date. 2013. Mind you, this isn't some backwater village - this is an important crossroads less than a mile from the NATO headquarters, central Brussels.
The fuck? I KNOW what it looked like 5 years ago - different than what's shown now -and I know it's changed since. That view isn't just outdated, it's ancient.
Google Street View was a reliable way to know what to expect 5 years ago. They bought Waze. They know when important changes happen. How the F can't you send a new car to capture the new situation, like, once a year in the big important spots? I accept that a view in the middle of nowhere is a few years old....But the middle of the European capital? Come on.
Google is really trying very hard to be everything they vowed they wouldn't become, but this just feels like self-sabotage.

I am no Te$la fanboy, but are they failing? Definitely had some ups and downs. They are also quite a few more rivals in the game, so if musk's ego kills it then others will hopefully take it's place.

You know the laypeople. They latch onto any shred that reinforces the narrative they want and amplify it.
I think this will depend on how much the company, as an entity, wants to keep itself hooked to Musk's identity.

I posted on Reddit how prisoner last meal requests where handled in the past. And I am getting down voted to hell, even though I am a literal expert on the subject.... I do not want to dox myself to prove I am right.
You can post on a subject with citations and it'll still get downvoted if it doesn't match the narrative that the specific groups of redditors you're engaging with have decided is True. Just move on and accept that some people don't want to be informed.
Thanks, I needed that.
Serious reply, here that is, how was it handled? Not something I’ve ever looked into and honestly have always taken (when used in a movie or tv plot) as being portrayed for comedy or useful story crutch.
Normally a death row inmate says he wants Pizza Hut for his last meal. Then the kitchen will make dough, get tomato sauce and cheese and meat to make him a pizza.
If they ask for Filet Mignon, the kitchen will take a burger or cheap steak and wrap it in bacon...
Sometimes if the guard knew the inmate he would take a cheeseburger to them. But, it is hard to break that rule. Hell, I can not carry my wallet onto a unit any more.
Nowadays since 2011 there is no special food for the condemned.
Thanks. I’ve learned something else today.
