Does the company that bought Osprey still honor the warranty?

Keen Newports have the finger loops on tongue and heel. I think Blundstone boots do, too? I’m sure someone with Blundstones can confirm or refute that.

Those loops are so handy, I agree.

Bicycle. No gas expenses, no tabs, no loan, free parking. I understand how it works and can mostly fix it myself for very little money. I can take quiet side streets and arrive in a much better mood, plus my fat lazy ass gets some exercise.

Billy Connolly

“The universe danced towards life. Life was a remarkably common commodity. Anything sufficiently complicated seemed to get cut in for some, in the same way that anything massive enough got a generous helping of gravity. The universe had a definite tendency towards awareness. This suggested a certain subtle cruelty woven into the very fabric of space-time.”

And petting wildlife. Or trying to take selfies with wildlife. Or feeding wildlife.

No, no, and no.

Even a cute lil’ chipmunk is a no-no. Bison, moose, and their sweet huggable calves are serious no-nos.

Learned to drive stick when I was 12. You can get away with a lot when you live on a farm/ranch…

It’s a Mars exploration vehicle!

Snyder Spindles are my favorite! https://www.snyderspindles.com/

Some people view sex as a means of expressing affection and connection, rather than as a means of having an orgasm. They would have no issue buying a sex toy to get their physical needs met, however hiring a person wouldn’t make sense to them because of the lack of emotional connection.

They don’t want to date a man who is regularly going to sex workers?

Beehaw is an old instance (two years, so “old” is relative). They have their own thing going on, and didn’t want to change their groove for the influx of redditors.

Terry Pratchett. It was at a book signing. He stayed very late, until every last person got their book signed. Generous and warm with everyone in line.

Time to pull up my big boy undies and start riding my bike. That sucker ain’t controlled by anyone but me. <middle finger to the car companies, wobbles down the road on a two-wheeler>

And burp loudly. Good times.

It’s a familiar process for those who lived through the early days of the internet.

I hate autocorrect for constantly changing my “its” to “it’s”.

(I just had to fight it to get the above “its”)

I didn’t even mind writing an application and waiting a bit to be accepted. Of all the instances I looked at, Beehaw was the one that appealed to me the most.

I would be very sad if I was randomly assigned an instance in French (for example) because I don’t speak French.
