I once found a curved 4k monitor at my local thrift shop for $70.

he said. “People, when they come in and I ask what happened, they say ‘I didn’t ride the bike that fast but I couldn’t stop it from hitting the pole.’ Or they hit a car.”
You squeeze the brakes with your hands; it's not rocket surgery. Even the most bare-bones ebike will have brakes capable of braking hard enough to stop abruptly if needed.
This is less an issue of ebikes and more an issue that people don't know how to ride a bicycle properly. People should not be getting on an ebike if they don't even know the basic fundamentals of riding a bike.
Most likely either way because I can’t imagine the Greens will work with the Cons much if at all.
It is not wrong nor necessarily bad to constantly question things and to desire to look deeper into information presented to you
But continued denial of something that is extremely well understood, studied, tested, and researched isn't healthy skepticism - it's wilful ignorance for the sake of soothing one's fears.
The human brain (the brains of most creatures, really) is now better understood than it ever has been and new technology is making studying it easier and faster than ever before. At no point, past or present, has there ever been even a tiny minuscule sliver of anything even remotely similar to a soul or afterlife being detected or observed. What we have observed, however, are the parts of a brain that are responsible for emotions, memory, personality, logic, reasoning, etc dying and ceasing to function.
The brain is an extremely awesome and complex thing but it is not powered by magic. I am trying my best to not mean any disrespect here - like I said I believed in an afterlife well into my 20's - but the entire premise of an afterlife is basically magic. It's fantasy. It makes the crushing pain of our own death easier to deal with.
I am pretty damn sure. Your brain, everything that makes you you, is a biological computer (for lack of a better word) of which we have an extremely comprehensive understanding of how it functions and the processes, both biological and psychological, that form a personality. There is no magic sauce or spirit that leaks out into the void when you die. It is your biological circuits ceasing to function and decaying.
I say this as someone who believed in an afterlife well into my late 20's. It is a belief we tell ourselves to cope with the reality of our own mortality. We will die and there will be nothing, so we tell ourselves that maybe there will be something because it makes the pain easier to handle.
Apparently a lot of voters have been thinking this was a federal election and voted according to that or were confused.
I am so thrilled that the livelihood of my family and myself gets to be decided by people that have a worse understanding of basic politics than a fourth grader.
Some of my favourite monitors have been from LG but these days I get by just fine never buying any of their products and I will continue to do so. Eat shit, LG.
I haven't upgraded my 14p yet due to all the bugs I've heard about in iOS 18. Also that the new photos app is a dumpster fire of changes nobody asked for.
I cancelled my Adobe sub and stopped using their products several months ago. The presence of AI "features" wasn't the reason, but it is certainly nice to not have to deal with them.
Also obligatory: Fuck you Adobe for not paying me for using my stock images to train your AI.
Hello! :D
That specific monitor? No. But I often see things second-hand that are under $100 and could be considered "futuristic tech".
If you know where to look and are patient there are good deals to be had.
