Don’t step on the clutch with just your toes or the ball of your foot. Push down with the entire length of your foot. It’s easier to control it that way because you’ll be lifting/depressing the pedal with your knee movement instead of ankle.

Also, don’t ride the clutch, even if you think you’re just resting your foot over it lightly. That still puts pressure on the pedal. Rest your foot on the dead pedal when not shifting.

Don’t rest your hand on the shifter (applies to automatics too).

Use engine braking to your advantage.

I avoid the sun and just take a vitamin D supplement.

The smallest screen I was willing to watch a movie or series on was my old 10" Lenovo netbook. I absolutely will not watch a movie on a phone screen. Right now I’m pretty happy with my 65" 4k TV. I’ll probably upgrade to a 75" (or 80"?) when I have extra funds because we do love watching movies and shows. As for movie theaters, post-pandemic I only go if it’s a movie worth seeing in IMAX or Dolby. I’m fortunate that there is a true IMAX theater in my city. If not, I wait for it to be available to watch at home.

Another person already said it, but the issue is the lack of third spaces. You don’t need to physically go to an office to get a sense of community. Working remotely makes it easier to get a sense of community if there are third spaces because you’re not stuck in a building for 8 hours. If your only source of community is your workplace, then you have other problems.

Septum rings. They just remind me of cows.

“Did you know you can be tracked if you go to a protest? That’s why I use Nord VPN, to keep me safe from viruses that can steal my personal infomation…”

He’s skilled for sure, but he does use drum triggers that’s why his playing sounds so crisp and clean. If you watch his live playing filmed by amateur cameras and outside his studio, he sounds more “normal”. Not saying it’s bad though, the dude is still very talented.

Same. I earn decent money but can probably get way more elsewhere, yet I’m sticking around because I’m in a pretty good spot with my work-life balance and my manager is great. I hope he sticks around as long as I’m employed there.

+1. Not tight and stuffy while providing enough containment.

I’ve seen a similar suv (not sure which model) at my local grocery store parking lot, and it was so long that they couldn’t park in the regular parking space and had to have someone in the car wait at the front driveway of the store with their hazards on.

People liked Batfleck because he was the closest to comic Batman looks-wise. Tall, physically imposing, square jaw, rugged, etc. He was also the best part of the Snyder movies and that’s a low bar. His version was also an older, disillusioned Bruce/Batman which is why he was more prick-ish.

Ok so this is a bit clearer than yesterday’s news that said he opened the emergency door and jumped out before the crash.

Tildes.

Right, I understand he was in the best position. But if you see the videos, it crashed within 32 seconds of liftoff, and there wasn’t really indication other than it stalled at the same very low altitude until it quickly went down, unless it was obvious inside (i.e. oxygen masks deployed, etc.).

If he managed to open the emergency door and jump out within that time span, that is some very very quick timing and reflexes.

Wait, how? Based on what I’ve seen (might no longer be the case as with ongoing investigations), the plane crashed literally within seconds of getting airborne. How was he able to 1. Know the plane was gonna crash, and 2. Be quick enough to unbuckle, open the emergency door, and jump within seconds?

Hard to pick just one so I’ll list a few:

• Thank You Scientist - 2x
• Haken - 3x
• Porcupine Tree - 1x
• King Crimson - BEAT lineup 2x, 3 drummer lineup 1x
• Tesseract - 1x
• Meshuggah - 1x

I would like to know more.

They’re testing something and you’re one of the lucky winners to be sampled. Usually it goes away in a day or until uBO catches up and deploys an update.

I don’t have any. I instead subscribe to as many communities I find interesting and set my feed to only my subscriptions. I rarely venture out to All and only do when I want to discover more communities.
