Not sure why you're being downvoted.

I've been riding for years but had to renew my license. The motorcycle tests now has a section where you have to find the motorcyclist in the rain.

And honestly, that section broke me. I love riding in dark colors on my dark bike. But I'd be god damn near invisible in the rain.

And I wished this test was forced on everybody (motorcyclists, car heads, hell even bike riders).

Real talk: can we make a show today about Alf?

I wasn't part of that generation that watched it, and didn't really get the humor either. He was just... Everywhere.

In the mid-2000s, I remember getting a podcast for my coworker and putting it on 80min CDs so he can play it in his car. So CDs were like [episode 15]. And sometimes, the podcast would go long so I had to make two CDs.

He didn't have an MP3 player and didnt know how to use the internet. And he paid me a few bucks for the work.

I think I made like a $100 from reselling free podcasts to my coworker.

This is where I'm conflicted.

I don't use Spotify because I don't believe in ads or paying money for things that are relatively easy to get. Im also not into music, which means my NEED to get anything is pretty low.

Where gaming, Steam is a platform. One could argue the ads are in the store page or all the sales. But there's still a huge pirate community. There's still GoG. All the other drm platforms are miniscule so not going to talk about them.

Where Steam is different is that shit just works on Steam. I can download a game from 2005, install, and I'm at the title screen. If I pirate, I have to do a handful of things to get to the title screen. Same with GoG. My Steamdeck is amazing! I've been actually rethinking building PCs in favor of just getting new Steam Decks.

I don't know the value of sex right now.in this economy.

Do the rectangle presses have to form a sort of order? Or can you optimize your pressing by rolling your head on them until the day is over?

Speeding down the street when the red lights flash

Need to get away, need to make a dash

A song comes on that reminds me of you and I

Several prominent members of Donald Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement are urging the former president to cut ties with controversial activist Laura Loomer, with one ally in Congress accusing the former Florida House candidate of making "appalling and extremely racist" remarks.

The anger came after Loomer was pictured with Trump at two 9/11 memorial events on Wednesday after she posted a racially charged diatribe aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris on X, formerly Twitter.

The racially charged incident, which took place in 2020, not only spotlighted systemic racial issues but also paved the way for Cooper’s extraordinary success.

According to the Australian Federal Police, a then-32-year-old man from Western Australia was disruptive on a flight headed from Perth to Sydney. As a result, the plane had to turn around and go back to Perth, which meant that the pilot was forced to dump some fuel to land.

Now, the passenger has been ordered to pay $8,630 AUD ($5,806 USD) back to the airline to cover the cost of the wasted fuel. The Perth Magistrate Court also fined him $6,055, meaning that his mid-air misbehavior has a total price tag of $11,861 – likely many times higher than whatever h
