So I own a big stupid truck TM and while it's only used a few thousand miles a year to pull horses, occasionally I need to run to the store with it. What I don't do is try to pull into a narrow ass tiny spot near the door, I park as far to the back as I can so I'm inconveniencing the least amount of people and at a much smaller risk of dinging something.
Do I think my truck is ridiculous? Yes. But I can't pull 5 tons of trailer and horses with my bike or compact. And I try to limit its non-agricultural use as much as possible.
Actually, this may be a good spot to ask. Recall a video where they were being chased down the street by fans until they end when they gave up and stood there fans ran right past. They were running after someone/something else. Don't remember the song though
As an American that spent time in Germany ≈20 years ago, I feel this post was made just for me. Still find myself singing Manchmal haben Frauen in the middle of the day
Oh my God thank you. I'd been trying to think back to an animated short story about a house with no living humans going about it's programmed life that I saw in school in the 80s. On and off for the last 20 years I've searched for Asimov, Clarke, even thinking maybe it was Adams, never considered it was Bradbury. There will come soft rains. 20 years!
I used to carry my kindle Paperwhite in my lunch bag, reading on breaks at lunch. Upgraded to a fold 7 this week and have been using that instead, it's beautiful and I love it for daily reading and pretty much everything else I can throw at it. The Kindle app makes looking for new titles (unlimited has so many LitRPG) so much easier than on reader or PC. It's truly changed how I do reading on the go.
Having said that at home I still prefer my kindle, not because of the screen, the size, the physical heft, soft leather case, extreme battery life, no those are all good reasons but physically not much different than my phone. No I prefer to use my kindle because I don't get text messages, reminders about ongoing sales, emails, video streaming recommendations, none of that. I just get my book.
Not a fan of the genre, Bloodborne killed it for me. But my brother has coerced me into trying Elden Ring so I picked that up in the steam sale, and we will see.
Have previously tried Nioh, BB, lords of the fallen,just can't get the combat, but I am old so that could be a contributing factor
The problem with many of these boycotts is that I'm not using their products or services anyway, so when my transaction is already zero how can I show my displeasure?
No matter the conversation I will always find a way to recommend the Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch.
Take some Oceans 11 or Now You See Me con artist heist plot, stick it into a fantasy world somewhere in the triangle of LotR, Discworld, and Verona, and have the dialogue written by Tarantino. It's such an enjoyable romp. I like to imagine Matt Berry doing half the voices.
American, huge fan, but I was in Germany for my formative years, right as Millennium was released.
Works on lemmy world using Summit.
Ok sure, but maybe I should have said those few thousand miles were in 1x 2500 mile round trip and a few 150-200 mile trips.
I do believe my body would expire.

Having said that, man that guy is a jackass.
No problem, hope it's what you're looking for. Looks fun either way.

Film titled "Barefoot Contessa"
She is wearing shoes.
For the Americans: I'm the worst movie of all time. Hold my 65 million production cost.
Different than my memories, but that's certainly it. Vielen dank!
