Well yeah, you can say things like “the eruption was a harsh reminder of the dangers of living next to a volcano”

Execs aren’t usually included in unions

Basically any of the really cheap ones. They do resistance by friction against what is essentially a strip of carpet and feels really shitty and gross to use.

Eh I tried this and found it difficult to use and work at the same time, especially as peddling gradually pushes away my office chair. Also most of them do resistance by having a strip of carped on the inner wheel that rubs against a break pad that you can tighten, which just feels gross, not like how a gym bike machine feels.

Also I feel it’s really difficult to make it feel like effort.

Macrofactor is the gold standard, but requires a subscription. Calorometer is a decent alternative, but still locks some features behind a subscription and is a bit messy.

Increasing weight is actually not very effective at burning more calories, you’d be better off just adding like 10 minutes of time

Losing 8 pounds in 5 days would require a daily deficit of 5,600 calories, so if you ate nothing you would still need to burn 3,600 calories to hit that, and if you’re hiking with a moderate load at a relaxed pace you’d be burning around 500-600 calories and hour, so would need to be hiking for like 7 hours a day AND not eating anything to lose that much weight in that much time…

Gyro control is still just a gimmick, but grip buttons are decent I guess.

But it’s still combining a controller and a kbm and ending up being worse than either one individually. And there’s only a very limited niche where a steam controller could be better than either on its own.

I genuinely don’t understand the hype beyond valve fanboyism. They already released a steam controller years ago and it was actually terrible, like there’s a reason no one else has even bothered to try and copy the track pad controller gimmick, because it’s just bad.

What is “normal” in this case? Because reading a book and drinking tea(?) is pretty up there on what I would consider normal

AI slop

Get in the F*****’ robot, you whiny b*****d, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.

They increased the price a couple times for various reasons

I just lick the residue off

I went to the mystery shack in Gravity Falls, Oregon and definitely didn’t get ripped off. It was a great time

Yeah wouldn’t want my movie about telepathic space battle-monks with light swords to be ruined by unrealistic explosions.

Nah in that situation it would be bad enough for a “things could be better honestly”

Yeah man, every single game I’ve got a ton of hours in or thought was a truly great game has been over $16

I get that this is Lemmy and users here are a certain way but calling anything over 16 dollars not worth it is genuinely insane.

Idk something about this is saying AI to me
