That's good to hear. Every picture I've seen of this thing so far has been this tiny one.

Is it really that short or is that just a demo model?

Didn’t the people of her ward elect her to make these decisions?

I’ve been wondering about this channel as well. It seems to have come out of nowhere and started producing videos at a really fast pace. It’s been continuously in my recommendations the last few weeks. The production quality ramped pretty fast as well.

Never really got into The Witcher, but I played it a tiny bit and it’s in my Steam library, so I guess no better time to give it another shot huh?

I know things are bleak but this fuck up about the “Hawks” game and Trump renaming AI have made my day. 😂 We really are governed by the dumbest of assholes.

Time to embrace the Cubs fandom and spend the summers in Chicago. The south is no longer habitable in the summer. (Speaking as a born and raised southerner)

Love how he first blames the tires and then when the guy corrects him, he blames the weight and runs away.

Interestingly, the desktop version of Google Maps has a green Grant Park. It also more out of date imagery, which you can tell by looking at some construction projects. I wonder if it has to do with the 3D view available on desktop and that keeps it a bit behind the 2D basic satellite view.

What? The iPad Mini starts at $600. There is plenty of reason to still buy an iPad Mini even with the existence of the iPhone Duo (starts at $2000).

Love the GTI. I've owned 2 in the past. A mk5 (manual 3dr) and a mk6 (dsg 5dr). Loved them both and probably should have kept the 6. They are probably some of the favorite cars I've owned. Perfect combination of practical and fun.

One of our devs once left and went to a headstone company. He became kind of a legend cause he just walked out one day and next thing we knew he was making and installing headstones.

Being a Memphis fan, I've always seen the 'other' side of the NCAA and how rigged it all is. In the last few years though, it has truly become a joke. I just can't take it seriously anymore. I am glad to see Lane Kiffin bring chaos to another school though. Will they ever learn? lol

This is probably the same reason they don't want to lower the Medicare age. They know health insurance is a huge barrier to retirement in the US.

Removing the nut on the valve and pushing it into the tire is definitely the way to go here. I’ve run tubeless for probably a decade now and never had this problem though. I wonder if they had a leaky valve.

I went on a blocking spree of all those folks last week and looks like their posts have only gotten wilder since then based on screenshots I’ve seen. Bordering on AI psychosis

Fancy bike got fancier. My first fender install… not too bad but definitely finicky to get right.

Picked up this nail in the bike lane about 20 miles from home. Debated plugging it but it was holding air so let it ride and it made it all the way home. Endorsement for tubeless 👍🏻

Sorry to be a hater but the fact you need to wake up super early on a Sunday (and pay a fee) to enjoy a car-free DLSD is a sick joke. If you get there at 9, you have 90 minutes before rolling closures begin. G-d forbid drivers are inconvenienced. ATA has been content with scraps for 25 years.

💯. I’ve avoided it for a while now and doing it this year just cause I feel like I should experience it at least once, but the price and timing of it has always rubbed me the wrong way. I told my wife it started wrapping up at 10:30 and she thought I meant PM. When I told her AM she looked offended.

Matt Finch @themattfinch.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
The price is a little offensive when they can basically only give us 4 hours on a holiday weekend.

First time doing Bike the Drive tomorrow - do I really have to use one of the “official” entrances or can I just hop on anywhere? #bikechi

Matt Finch @themattfinch.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
From the main entrance on Lincoln, turn right as you enter and it's in that area there. I think it's a kids area? I can't remember for sure.

Had this experience with my wife. She had just left the ICU and we find out the insurance company denied the medication the doctor prescribed. The most infuriating experience I’ve ever had and stuck with me forever about how messed up our healthcare system is.

Identifying someone by what they call "coke" still undefeated, but I wonder if that is decreasing over time. Also found it funny that "icing" is on the quiz. Y'all should hear my sister say the word 'icing'. I often joke that words like icing, lighting or sprite are dead giveaways for southerners.

Exactly. Electricity can be made locally. It is true energy independence. I wish more people would talk about this. We will never have energy independence with fossil fuels as it is always part of the global market.
