My parents got me one to use on motorcycle camping trips a few years ago, and it’s so handy. I’m thinking about one of the larger ones to keep at home.

I had to clear the app cache and local storage before it would work. Cache alone didn’t work.

One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70’s moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.

I’d like to believe my Honda Ridgeline is the exception to this, but truck bros don’t acknowledge it as a real truck anyway.

Wages haven’t kept up with increases in CoL for years, and the pandemic skyrocketed the latter while barely budging the former.

I was seriously considering a move from Nashville to Minneapolis last year, but after a lot of soul searching about it, I realized that the length of winter there would mean giving up most of my favorite hobbies, especially motorcycles, for a substantial portion of the year, and I’m not willing to do that.

So far wefwef has been my favorite. It’s a web app and has to be downloaded through Safari or Chrome, but it was made by the developer of Apollo and is very similar the overall experience of using that. Liftoff is a close second.

iRacing has driven (heh) the vast majority of my PC upgrades over the past few years. Changing from monitors to an Oculus had me upgrading GPUs back in 2017, I got a 3080 two years ago which let me upgrade to a Reverb G2, then realized I was getting CPU-bound fps drops so I ended up with a 5800X, all in the interest of higher settings and more cars on track at once. Unless someone comes out with a worthy upgrade to the Reverb, I think I’m set for a bit.

My parents were there yesterday, and sent me the same view! They also got pickpocketed by a group of scammers that were dumping bird shit on people and claiming to try to help them clean off.

I imagine it’s going to be a near-vertical spike.

RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.
