Which is why we should leave it on during the winter too.

I just want it to always be DST, I hate getting home after work to only have an hour to take care of things outside before dark.

Or put the mask on then switch it to N2 without him knowing when.

I believe the Government has to accept cash for any charges, but private companies have to accept cash for debts. Like if your car gets towed, the tow company must accept cash, even if it's all pennies.

Part of the reason bigger engines are desirable in the US is because to get anywhere other than local riding you're going to be on quite a bit of long straight highway at high speeds. I can drive for 15 hours straight at highway speeds and still not leave my state.

A 250 will be absolutely tapped out to the point of being unsafe because you have no reserve power. And that seems unnecessarily hard on the vehicle.

A 500 will typically be usable but uncomfortable because it'll still be high in the rev range and vibrating.

On the longer stretches doing maybe around 75mph I even find myself wishing my 800GS could chill at some lower RPMs (currently around 5k maybe a bit more at those speeds), whereas my brothers 1400 with 2/3 the horsepower of mine just chugs along at those speeds (no tach but I think about 3200rpm is what I calculated and that sounds about right). When I pass him he says mine sounds like a mosquito.

I don’t know what it is about it

It goes low to high in pitch as it speaks which, while normal for some accents/languages, conveys uncertainty and/or a feeling of 'high-strung'-ness, at least to a large portion of english speakers, and especially Americans.

It also put the emphasis in the wrong places.

They're the same thing.

But at least in some regions of the US it's extremely unpopular. I've never seen a soda fountain with a button for soda/sparkling/carbonated water. The only way you get that is if one of the sodas is out of syrup.

My thing is when browsing all I want to see all, not just the most popular communities. The Hot/rising functions don't seem to work that well at least on kbin.

So I blocked a lot of the communities that show up too much or the ones that will never have anything of interest to me. It's better.

It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round.

My dream house is 80% garage/workshop.

But yeah, this one looks strange. I think because the garage juts out forward.

No, you make an account on that piped instance.
