At least I'm going to parties with people my own age and not creeping on literal high schoolers.

Jesus fuck dude stop acting like a pedophile

No. You are not funny in the slightest.

It would be weird and creepy if this was an adult woman, but your "joke" about a situation involving children is just disgusting. You're sick, please seek help

I agree steel frames are great, but trek, specialized and gt abandoned steel in the late 90's. I love a good vintage frame, but for mtb the modern geometry is an undeniable upgrade.

High end: Orange cycles, Cromag, Ritchey, Chumba, Cotic.

Mid range: Kona, Marin, Surly, Niner.

Also: go tubeless and never buy an innertube again. I bought a 5 pack of tubes for emergencies and used 2 of them in the past decade. The sealant can be a royal pain in the ass, but it beats getting stranded out on the trail.

That's how you justify a genocide of Palestinians?

This calculator app maybe I use it for nostalgia's sake but I've had it on every android for the past 10+ years. It works great, launches instantly, and the ads were never more than a small banner at the top. I did buy the ad free version but it's $2, no subscription or any bullshit, just a straight and honest scientific calculator.

Maybe not underrated because everyone should already be using it but KDE connect is a life changing app. So much functionality packed into a lightweight package. Just having a shared clipboard between my phone and laptop has been such a time saver every single day. If you don't already have it, you should.

This list is utterly fantastic, but if you haven't given Dave The Diver a chance you definitely should. It's by far my favorite release from this year, and the devs seem to have even more content planned.

Check the life remaining on the drive with crystaldiskinfo it should give you a nice percentage of life but I go off how much data it has seen.

An SSD from 5 years ago is probably rated for around 200TB written, but I would check your model. As long as you are below the TBW with no corrupted sectors, the SSD is fine to keep using. I would probably back it up more frequently, and keep checking crystaldisk for any changes.

They are shit cars, but this is nothing compared to the other car manufacturers; sticking pedals on Toyotas (21 dead), Ford Pinto (500-900 dead, was an $11 part production deemed unnecessary), GM knew about a faulty switch in 2003 but only fixed it in 2014 (and 174 deaths), Volkswagen lied about emissions causing god knows how much damage, even airbags have killed like 24 people due to a defect. The list is endless, and no car company is better than the other.

Bikes ftw.

It matters because that was a one off prototype that probably cost thousands to manufacture. Even the lost time and opportunity cost of LTT keeping it for months can absolutely kill a company's chances. It doesn't matter if it was irrelevant to the LTT audience, or if Linus thought it was a stupid product. It was made by two dudes who wanted to see something brought into the world that didn't previously exist.

No one bats an eye at $800 artisan keyboards, even if they function the exact same as a $50 one. They look cool, or they feel nice, or whatever justification people make to themselves. It's not for one influencer to decide "this is stupid, I want you to make something else"
