Well I just took my first Adderall. Time to see if it's ADHD or not, I guess!

My store really said “Columbus Day is racist? Dope” and ended holiday pay starting this year, a move negotiated with and sanctioned by UFCW, of course.

@zeldatra Tell them it's equally-or-more racist to NOT pay for Indigenous Peoples Day
-
@scribus They didn’t pay us for Juneteenth either despite Congress having made it a federal holiday and The President having signed the bill the week before. Said it was “too late” to change payroll, which is BS.
-
@zeldatra not that accounting can amend it afterwards and give the money with the next paychexk

Tyres are expensive.

@scribus All-season car tyres with aluminium rims what I have ordered. I didn't want to cheap out on something that will last a while and is essential for safety. Also a little bit for the looks doesn't hurt in the whole scheme of things. Steel rims are half as expensive but are also adding unnecessary weight and look like ass.
-
@adiwan And isn't steel at risk if you live anywhere with weather? Salt for snow, or even just beach-salt...
-
@scribus Yeah... My old (and stolen) car had steel rims. They had quite the rusty spots but they were covered by a plastic cap that gave the illusion they were nicer.

@michaelthemoron Aim for "not," it's so much more fun, despite the trials and travails and tribulations and . . . trash trends trampling thought?

@kirumin It's hard to change the situation when there are only 3 regulars left who are posting stuff.

@adiwan Nice!
-
@scribus Thanks. I was really lucky mixing the base color to get the gray with the blue-ish tint I was aiming for. Because of the size I bought a cheap acrylic paint set and mixed white and black in a 1:1 ratio and then added about 1/3 of that amount with navy blue, and added a bunch of drops of silver metallic paint. Depending on the time of day it looks more blue or gray. On the other hand I had troubles getting rid of the layer lines using filler primer, sandpaper and files, especially the sides towards the center.

I'm baffled by the number of battery-operated (internal rechargeable via USB or conventionally insertable AA or AAA) lights for bikes that are being sold. There is a thing called dynamo. No hassle recharging, always attached at the bike, reliable. There are hub dynamos that have almost no resistance (only the induced electrical field has some resistance) and are silent. It makes me somewhat annoyed and mad that people buy this crap. Additional lights... fine. But they are mostly advertised as main front and rear lights.

@adiwan I always kind of wanted one on my bike, but I also get ripped off so damn often that I can't bring myself to make a serious investment in it. They stole my seat!! I've had people steal my little speedometer, but not the tire attachment that actually makes it work! I watched a jerk ride off on my bike itself, and was a half-swcond too late in being certain to clothesline them... and my present borderline-cheapo bike is all rusted and sun-damaged.
-
@scribus Woah. That's heavy.

lady that used to steal Sudafed at my old store shops at my new one :/

Picked up the first Beastars manga on a whim today. So far, so good.

@scribus I watched only the animated version. I was intrigued by the first season. The second one was not as good story-wise.

Man I miss good old game rentals. Like, I want to try New Pokemon Snap, but I don't think I'll get $60 of fun out of it... $20, probably, but I understand this is not a $20 game. So, yeah. I miss rentals. !vgp #OldManYellsAtCloud

@scribus Purchasing it used might be an option. On ebay in Germany the prices are between 30€ and 40€. I guess it won't be cheaper anytime soon. Pokemon Snap for the N64 is cheaper as a cart only offer but complete in box it's still at original retail prices.

I want to see the new Marvel movie Shang Chi but it feels wrong to go to the cinema.

@zeldatra How was it? Recommend?
-
@scribus I liked it a lot! Ryan Reynolds kind of carries the film and I think without him it isn’t nearly as funny though. He like, makes the movie.
-
@zeldatra @scribus The number of cases are rising here as well and I don't want to risk any contact with strangers that's not necessary, especially when sitting in an enclosed room for hours. I'm vaccinated but still. This time I'll probably go to the sea that is called Internet and become a filthy pirate. I already gave more money than necessary for watching Black Widow at home.

Great, first time in two years I wake up at 0600 ON PURPOSE (damn jury duty) and I'm shaking and puking and other nastiness....

I summed up how much I cycled so far in the last 6 months, with the help of the Google Maps Timeline feature. I cycled about 120km. Due to some really annoying data entry of the streets and junctions, and the infrequent and inaccurate GPS sampling, not every trip was correctly recorded. Good for data protection but also bad for this application, so I had to guesstimate.

@adiwan If cycling is as important to you as it is to me, I would recommend purchasing an odometer. They are quite cheap
-
@oracle I have a bicycle computer that has the feature but it is cumbersome to access in the menu. I have it only to display the current velocity / average velocity. It was just in the spur of the moment that this question came up as my father jokingly said to me that I barely drive my new car that just passed 600km.

Although I have a bike I'm interested in having a second bike more geared towards comfortable rides in the city: a ladies' dutch bicycle. I don't see a reason for having that ball-crushing crossbar between the legs that makes it hard to get into the saddle.
