USSC corrupt AF, get your asses to the polls this November or things will get even worse: Don’t let them stack the court any more than they already have. There is no excuse to not vote, just fucking do it!
That site allowed musicians to create and upload music and then other musicians could rate, critique, and collaborate on said music. You could even download tunes and I’ve got SO much great music still on my phone from those artists. And, it was a fun, supportive community....

I’m doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It’s a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I’m happy....
I got it from the store today because I was feeling lazy/on vacation, but I grind it myself fairly regularly too and I’d say it’s a reliably OK cup of coffee. Not terrible, not great.

I hate it when they do this, happens all the time in my city after big events.
PSA: If you rent a bike or scooter, don’t put it in the bike rack. The rack is for people who need to lock their bike up. You can leave your rental scooters or bike next to the bike rack, in another out of the way place, or best of all in a rental dock so it can recharge, but there’s no reason to use the rack if it’s not your bike and you don’t need to lock it up.

Never driven a Prius, but I have driven a couple Fits before and while they’re not super fast, they’re surprisingly fun to drive on twisty roads. Not as fun as my manual Subie, but nobody’s perfect.

It was sarcastic/joking, but wow I had no idea! They seem so dissimilar, I never would’ve thought that would work. Didn’t think I’d learn this much about baking today lol, thanks!
I like my ebike, but I like my bicycle even more. I can’t quite place my finger on why, but it’s probably because my bicycle is a pretty decent hardtail and my ebike is a cheap drop-shipped folding fatbike that I use more for heavier hauls or recovery days. I’d probably change my opinion if I had something like a Specialized Turbo lol.
