  • Time to make a billion dollars on something else, then start up a car company designed to fail. No investors, design a car for a 60-70k buying price, few bells and whistles, but built to last indefinitely with basic maintenance. Start the company planning to practically close it down just after the last preorder customer has their car delivered and become a maintenance company with a few employees to make replacement parts and install them. If demand rises, redesign for the new times, ramp up and do it all again.

  • Whether it would be full size or desktop size, the first one would definitely get attention at a bike fair

    Ah, so calling it braided was after the fact, not part of the prompt

  • How did you get that result?

    In Bing, I got either an entire bike braided from soft rope

    Or a bicycle braided from many small pipes

  • What's the difference? Most of what's on there is an ad for something. A lifestyle, a look, a road trip destination, a festival, a food.

  • I mean, yeah. It would be harder to track, but desperate people do desperate things when the law makes it hard to leave.

  • I'm out here trying to save enough money to get by, it's annoying to keep seeing all the things I can't afford paraded in front of me constantly. Some of them I wish I could afford, some of them I'd never buy if I had the chance.

    It strikes me as companies with too much access and too much money looking to drain my accounts to add it like a drop of water to their swimming pool they already have.

  • I was hoping they'd start adding a sort of rounded plastic shell to make it more aerodynamic and cover over the sharp edges, but if customers still like them after an injury there's no incentive to dull the edges.

    If enough non-customers are killed, they may have to do something, but idk what.

  • If you're relying on the breezes to let air in, then a furnace filter that is the same size or a little bigger than the opening of the window should work. You'll get a little less air, but a HEPA filter will let only clean air in if it's wedged into the window opening or taped to the outside.

    If you're doing a box fan with furnace filters, do at least 3 filters and some cardboard to make a cube, put the cube outside and the fan in the window opening, and block any gaps around the fan.

  • Filters do slow down air flow.

  • I've found WriteMonkey to be helpful for this.

  • A matching pair of show cars, custom built from the ground up to cruise in and turn heads.

    Also, build the modern equivalent of the Model T, the Volkswagen Beetle, something like that. The super practical, oddly attractive, easily repairable, energy sipping cheap-mobile. It would be hard to meet all these goals plus modern safety requirements, but that's where the endless money comes in for R&D.

  • Yep, they suddenly started doing that early this morning after several hours of playing videos just fine.

  • I'll never understand letting the outcome of a game make or break my mood in the following days.

  • Some A+ puns you got going there

  • Well, now I have another newest picture in my downloads album

  • How do I start a new lemmy?

  • If your first idea of what to do with an instance is ban people, immediately followed by muting people, maybe the fediverse is not for you. If blocking users and communities from your own profile isn't good enough for you, please leave.

  • Sleeping tonight and napping tomorrow.

  • Who is going around lighting trash fires inside the cooling towers?

  • Now that I've seen this... Most of the things people want out of a dumb phone can be accomplished by putting an android on ultra power saving mode. Except physical keyboards.
