    I have a few other versions. Once people learned I liked cubes that became a staple gift for a while, lol

    Yeah I can try splitting them, especially if a lot of the time I end up on older reddit posts giving me the answers anyway.

    I’ve definitely seen Truwood watches online. I started off saying I would collect only Nixon Sk-09 watched, then moved onto collecting Casio. film watches, then moved onto Seiko Zucca dashboard watches and seiko timetrons. I went down a rabbit hole, but people ask a lot about them and they are good icebreakers in a world where I need to network a lot.

    My thought was “Oh wow Russia cares about its citizens again?” And then I realized it’s oil tankers, on their busy global shipping route.

    Posting here to not start a new thread but Day 1: 7 searches Day 2 : 36 searches Definitely don’t think I’ll be able to get away with a normal account if I do keep going after the trial ends.

    Mechanical keyboards: It’s only been two yers, but I love the retro style of the ones I own

    Super73 S2: I’ve had this electric bike for 3yrs and it’s basically how I get around.

    My rubix cube: I’ve had my 3x3 for about 7yrs now. It’s basically my fidget spinner and I use it constantly.

    I remember following many NPCs in Skyrim when quests finished just to see where they would go. I do think a lot of them have routes to destinations.

    I’ve always connected to the “air” element in video games and I also love the use of latin words in video games.

    Echoing this. I now use an iPhone and work on a PC laptop. Sometimes they want to not connect to my laptop at all, unless I turn off the bluetooth on my iPhone. A year ago, they would also not want to stay connected to my laptop. I would have keep an empty google meet or zoom call to trick them into staying connected; this specific issue hasn’t happened to me in about a year. All this to say is that Apple’s products are geared towards using other apple products. They will work, but not always at intended. I currently still use my airpods, but also use the Bose 700.

    They are amazing, with multiple light settings and the colors auto flip to make sure white is always facing front and red faces back. The lights slide in and out with a magnet from the pedals, so charging is easy.

    Correct. It’s supposed to reduce pointy things piercing your tube. Some people use slime instead, but it looks messy.

    You can never have enough locks. I have 4 locks on my electric bike. When at home, I have two chains, one ulock (all kryptonite) and a foldable abus lock. When I am out I take the ulock and foldable lock. If you ever sell the bike, the locks can be used for other things.

    • Redshift Arc Pedal - These are amazing at night, and it’s a bit different for cars who are used to see typical tail lights or helmet lights at night.
    • Mr Tuffy Bike Liner - find the ones that fit your tire. It will reduce the likely hood of getting a flat
    • tire patch kit - bike pro tools sells a ton
    • an electric pump- if you are riding when it’s colder it’s a bit to fix a flat when your hands a numb.
    • airtag - they sell devices that will let you hide it on the bike
    • covers - if you leave it locked outside normally for long periods of time, buy a cover, rain is not great for bikes.
    • electric gloves - I ride year round and they help keep me warm in the winter.
    • thermal pants - again only if riding when cold. There are loose and compression types. I wear both at the same time, under my regular pants when it’s really cold. Along with long socks these keep me warm.

    The Outer Wilds may fall into this category, though it can be a very frustration game. The mechanics are very simple and works on a 22min loop, so, right outside your target time.
