Rodeo,

Thank god somebody got it! I was dying out here.

Rodeo,

A goth duck.

Rodeo,

Stephen Biesty?

Rodeo,

Sounds like he’s figuring out the difference.

Rodeo,

That’s what I’m still doing now. I upgraded the RAM a couple years ago and the GPU last year, both with cheap older parts that were about $100.

The main problem I’ve run into so far is that Blender no longer runs since they only support CPUs ten years old or newer. But I don’t do that stuff anymore really anyway.

Rodeo,

Fresh fresh

Rodeo,

Go on Amazon and search for a “outdoors phone”. I have one that is about that size and weighs a lot, but I can go a week between charges easily. I can play games with my headphones for 8 hours straight without needing to charge.

But … The battery is not replaceable.

Rodeo,

They exist and they’re called “utility kilts.”

Rodeo,

I did not realize that. And I also didn’t bother to look that up, so thanks for the info.

Rodeo, (edited )

How do you know that you actually figured out the meaning though?

How many words did you guess wrong about and now you think you know but you don’t actually. You’ll never know if you read the context properly without looking it up after.

Try to guess the meaning of the word lugubrious from the following sentence:

Although he was wealthy, he often found himself lugubrious.

There isn’t a single clue in that sentence as to the meaning of the word.

Don’t just guess; actually learn properly instead.

Rodeo,

That doesn’t address why you are so confident your guesses about context clues are always correct.

Why wouldn’t you look it up anyway to make sure you understood correctly?

Rodeo,

Then I’ll repeat what I told you before: you should learn properly instead of guessing.

Rodeo,

You’re welcome! You can chalk this up to your first new learning experience.

Rodeo,

Always makes me giggle like an idiot.

“This is you!” “No, this is you!”

Rodeo,

It speaks to everyone. “I’m messed up because I’m smarter than other people” is a seductive fantasy.

Rodeo,

Yeah maybe! That’s still 750,000 so maybe I’ll find someone after all.

Hopefully some of them live nearby.

Rodeo,

Yeah but I don’t find them attractive.

Rodeo,

They must make those roofs out of discarded crusts or something to keep costs down.

Rodeo,

How is that even possible

Rodeo,

Lol I enjoyed this exposé into your local greasy spoon. Here’s to scuzzy diners!

Rodeo,

I feel ya, Suzie. Apologies are so empty.

Rodeo,

What if the speed limit is unreasonably high or low?

Rodeo,

if it’s too low, good, drivers shouldn’t go fast. If it’s too high, fine, drivers can go fast.

Eh … What?

Rodeo, (edited )

So you consider the law to be the definition of safety?

My question was intended to get you think about the fact that laws (and speed limits) are made by people, with all their flaws and biases, and they don’t always do a good job.

Rodeo,

Sorry but it’s a black and white thing in this case, r either you’re under the speed limit and not breaking the law or you’re over the speed limit and breaking the law.

Your words make it sound like you think the speed limit is some objective truth that cannot be questioned.
