LoL, whoopsie doodles I accidentally bought a swasticar. I mean it’s not like I haven’t accidentally bought cars on at least 3 specific occasions in the past. Oh wait, it IS exactly like I’ve never accidentally bought a car in my life. Hmm, what are the statistics, tho? How many people have accidentally bought a car in the past? I suppose I could also win one in a raffle that someone entered me in, without my consent. A friend could just buy one for me. Anything can happen, it’s just that some things are far more likely.

F - You see it’s even less likely for me to buy a tesler, than it is for them to be self driving.

Ah, yes, I see, allow me to disambiguate: Human Powered Vehicle

There are two kinds of peer reviewed research I like. 1. The amazing wild nobody ever expected it sort of results that upset multiple fields of research. And 2. The gradual, incremental improvements of what we already thought, but now with even better data. The former is uncommon and exciting; the latter merely extends the sphere of knowledge in expected ways. This clearly falls into category #2, so Yay!

Let’s see what can be done. Ape together strong!

It’s like hover craft, sure they work, but at what cost? Bicycles, now there’s a design one can roll with. There was an HPV, The Gossamer Alabatross, crossed the English Channel in '79. Is anybody riding them now? Do you see similar HPVs anywhere now? No!

I"m pretty sure one can be too careful, tho’ I’m sure I’ll never find out.

It’s common to say, “Gee us a pint 'o yer best weeds, dear Publican, if you please.”

smae! there wasn’t a community for my town, so I made one. Also I’m really into photobiomodulation, made a community, but it was on kbin which frittered away, so now I have to remake it. We’re building a whole new thing, new culture, new communities. No better time for it, with all the chaos, let’s make a shiny new garden here, tend it, watch it grow.

I hear you on the scroll less. Time limits help me to not be obsessively scrolling. Emphasizing quality over quantity also helps. Cheers!

Leopards, faces, nom nom nom.

what are you interested in finding that you aren’t? build it, put it up, ask questions. We’re all here on the frontier building what we want.

If you want for something here, it’s a new place, make it. We’re all over here building a new way to do this thing, and everyone’s input is important. What do you want to see, that you haven’t found on Fedi?

I mean, the front fell off.

You must be a shill for Big Shill!!

Well thank you! I have various parts & peices, that I think is sufficient to set things up. I should say, I’m not in the Linux environment. And from what I’ve read it looks so much easier than it would have been in the 90s when I started using computers in earnest.

Thanks for the encouragement.
