Whooo! I should hit 300 miles on the new bike within 30 days of owning it.

If buying isn't owning then unbricking my devices isn't a DMCA violation.

I have become so used to not owning anything (beyond my electronics) that I feel anxious at the idea of buying big things like a car or even a house. When I used to have my own bike I was always going to check on it whenever I heard a noise outside. Eventually I moved on to those shared bikes and that's much more relaxing..
How do you all deal with owning things? If you own a car, or a flat / house, are you actually more happy than if you were renting it? If it got stolen or damaged in…

I think if you’re worth more than say $5 million you should get some sort of “congrats, you won” badge and then you should be banned from owning businesses or having political office for the rest of your life.
Maybe also ban from social media for good measure.

This thing is for sale for ages! That’s 8500€ I don’t have but crave! There will be signs that I won the lottery and owning this would be one of them!

C64 Ultimate Starlight ordered. I wonder if my arcade stick will work with it. So many unknowns with this machine. But at least some of the early review videos answered quite a few of my questions. You’d think a professional YouTuber owning the company would have thought to sit down and really explain the design. Not a review. Just a technical demonstration. #commodore

I still am very uneasy about Netflix owning Warner Bros.
But this is quite fascinating that they will continue to license to other platforms.

I can imagine a future where personal passenger vehicles are banned from city streets and autonomous vehicles of different sizes move us to our destinations. They, of course, should be integrated with walking, cycling, and mass transit. There's gotta be a cost benefit to eliminating tired, aggressive, or inattentive drivers from the road, and cities should fund all larger vehicles (6 passengers? ) to keep corporations from owning the streets.

FCC Launches Review Of Rules On Network Mergers, Local Station Ownership

One thing I may have underestimated about owning a #dog is quite how much more #weather they bring in with them.

Upgraded the Glitch instance here so I can quoth and quoot now like this.
Upgraded the GotoSocial instances running the project accounts too, and yet still can't quote-boost them because GotoSocial I guess doesn't have the permissions stuff yet.
Nice to see it all evolving though. We'll get there one day. Without anyone owning it all.

Sigh, the joys of owning a home. Needed minor project with a major cost comes first before my buying a new computer.

When I heard the news this morning that Paramount was going to offer a hostile takeover bid for Warner/Discovery I immediately thought.... #TheAmericanFascist probably told them to... and sure enough:
"Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery”
They are just totally and complete corrupt *and* hell bent on owning the media so they can control what is being said, like they do on Fox.

As you might have imagined, last night during the #WorldSeries was a good night for #DoorDashing
There were few lulls.
4:23PM - 10:09PM
18 DD = $120.50
5 UE = $49.73
But it was also a weird night because two things happened that have never before:
1) I had to return a whole UE order because it contained alcohol, the customer had no valid ID, and the Uber app refused to complete it any other way. So be forewarned! (I was shocked that I still got full pay!?)
2) I came *this* close to running out of charge in the EV! It is only the second time since owning the car that it has gone under 5%! The little 🐢 icon came on and everything! It is not usually a problem but with commuting to work 170km (starting with 80% charge) cooler weather, rain, using the defog constantly for 5.5 hours while dashing and an extra long night (I usually only go to 9PM) I pushed it a little too far! 😂 I did 30kph for the last 3km from the last delivery to home base. 😂 🪫 I should have realized the night before and charged to 90 or 100%.
