Interesting. Funny how I've come around from me and a friend being Clarkson and Hammond to both ending up more like May

Are you able to pick the day of your next crash? The gear is dependent upon your speed. Sure, take it a mile at bicycle speed, not a big deal. A mile at highway speed is not the same casual experience

Grown men will still say "jeans are fine" as if they didn't shred them in 10mph bicycle accidents

I'm guessing that was post-Clarkson TG?

VW is not really in the business of selling $6,000 used cars. "EVs are better (for people buying new cars)" says exec of company that sells new cars

Gone Pro sounds like maybe they leveled up from amateur. A lack of them in the future would be NoPro

East Indian cuisine gets fairly close to Chinese food. Most of the dishes in western countries are going to be north Indian, which I think really means northwest. Punjabi and Gujarati regions. They're the wealthier states with a greater number of emigrants. South Indian is a different style as well, but I'm not familiar with it.

Experiencing East India damn near instantly made me wonder what my country's tourists/expats look like in comparison to the actual country's makeup. Just a bit of a surprise that for having a poor international reputation, I feel like it's a more progressive portion of the country that goes abroad. And we're still bad? Either my country is even worse than the world thinks, or my people are way too entitled abroad, knowingly or not.

Some northeastern rep/candidate on the democratic side has a totenkopf skull tattoo on his chest. That's your keyword because I can't remember the rest

I'm not the person who asked but I assumed these would be music from some artist I don't recognize named AVATARITLA

Does it have a practical use? If yes, I agree with your reservations. If no, then someone is going to buy it to either look at or sell to someone else to look at. May as well buy it direct and preserve it respectfully. But I understand and I do appreciate the group-benefit mentality

I often make the same argument against myself for limited resources but ultimately, if the resource is affordable, then it probably isn't rare on the scale that hobbyists would affect it. But then there's helium, which is somehow not anywhere near abundant enough for the low price they charge to fill a balloon. While hobbyists still wouldn't affect the supply that much, I don't like supporting balloons anymore. Weird hill to die on for 95% of people or greater.

It's certainly a topic of interest to me, but I'd like to avoid the "spaceship pyramid" levels of conspiracy and the meatless text-to-speech summaries that will inevitably appear in my suggested feed(s). I thought I'd find it by now, given my feed has plenty of planes. I know it's a distraction, but I may as well be entertained while I continue waiting for the yanks to release the real files we're asking for.

I'm afraid AI has surpassed me, as I still can't draw hands. Seriously though, I miss doodling all through school. I don't know where that free creativity has gone, but I'm working to bring it back. Some early jobs left me in a dark rut, but I've settled into a decent job, a career even, and feel a certain mental calm and freedom trickling in.

I was aiming for something resembling a pose often struck by St Michael in depictions of him defeating demons. I don't have a goal for the actual identity of the figure, nor what they're doing. Ultimately, I want it to be triumphing over something. The end goal is to explore ideas for a tattoo. It already worked beautifully once, where I took a crude drawing to an artist with a style I liked, then watched them bring it to life with more talent and their own flair. I picked the elements, laid the composure, and outsourced the details to an amazing artist. What better meaning to a tattoo than "I basically made this"? With any luck, lightning will strike twice... Or more.
