@halcy aka elaborate euphemism for "complications" or "sequelae" -

@piks3l I don't want to be unnecessarily combative here but this language feels like it carries the assumption xmpp is dead, dying, replaced etc. and no one ever seems to have an answer to "with what" -

@lanodan Yeah, I was responding mostly to the linked post, not with the assumption you were an uncritical proponent of -everything- in it. Sorry if it came off like thatI agree that in very dense/unsafe areas it may be a bit hard to ride in traffic and resorting to the sidewalk is inevitable. I do not agree that it should -ever- be done outside of extenuating circumstances like that, because of my experience in -less- dense cities. Besides what I said above, it cultivates the expectation for drivers that bikes belong on the sidewalk, which means you get shitty murderous behavior for being on the road as you ought at a significantly higher rate. I've had people, in cities where it's very much illegal to be on the sidewalk, scream at me to get on the sidewalk while I was riding on a residential street. Re: speed, as I see it, if I can go 20mph the whole way I'd rather do it, and I'd rather most people were able to bike this way if they chose. It makes bikes a significantly more viable -car replacement- if they can approximate car speeds in the cityHIs advice about lights is also pretty crap -- even my Fenix, a metal brick with 2 18650s in it, is removable and pocketable is removable in all of 5 seconds, and makes riding at night several orders of magnitude safer...Taking the bike in to be looked at now and again is probably good, but I just disagree with a flat tire being serious enough to pay someone else to fix for 4x the cost of a tube or more -

@lanodan riding on the sidewalks is stupid for literally everyone involved. you'll go slower and risk hitting pedestrians, and it's often illegal...I'm all for spitting in the face of someone who spends 2k on some insane carbon shit and tells you you must as well, but some of this is pretty idiotic. Learning to change a tire is a necessity if you plan to commute; I cannot count the number of times I flatted on a sharp rock or whatever coming home. If you have tire levers and a small pump, and keep a spare tube or two with you, it's easy. If you get your wheels trued maybe once per year or two, an old steel road bike is perfectly fine on shit city roads, as long as you're not glued to the saddle when you hit a pothole at 15mph, which literally no one should be -

@nik @hj Guess I'll chip in that Vortex Tab 90M is pretty good based on my exp so far, and has all the fullsize keys in a slightly more compact layout. Build seems like it will last; big slab of metal with PBT keys on top -

@cwebber I want to win VpAs and SpEn pretty badly. It has been a -very- long time since I seriously tried with Crawl though; I should again. Do you do local or webtiles? I'd totally spectate you -

@cwebber What all have you won? I've done a single 15 rune with a GrFi aaaaages ago, and a 3-rune VSMo but that's about all still
