a physical button on the floor under the gas pedal
I had an E30 BMW with one of those. Push the button and the automatic transmission would immediately downshift, and the engine would spin up in a hurry. Spaz mode was fun.
New Zealand doesn’t exist!
Power and fuel economy are not the only two variables. Emissions are the biggest thing that comes to mind: your new high-performance remap might put your car outside of the emissions limits for your market.
Some aggressive remaps can also adversely affect how the car drives in normal use. Think rough idle, or jerky acceleration. The vast majority of drivers do not want that.
Assuming I’m still in good health, I want to go on some long bicycle tours. Like weeks or months long. Maybe start with the GAP/C&O Canal as a warm-up. Then La Route Verte. After hitting a few other sections of the US and Canada I would move across the pond to the UK, Ireland, and western Europe.
If I can find a riding partner who is open to dirt then I would really love to do the GDMBR. There are lots of shorter trails that would be fun warm-up trips, too. Unfortunately, I have yet to meet anyone IRL who is crazy enough to do multi-day off-road trips with me.
One exists, but the mod is AWOL and the community needs some love. If you (or anyone else here in the comments) wants to take it over and bring it back to life, let me know.
It’s a known bug in Sync with Lemmy 0.19.5:
https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/539
lemmy.world is still on Lemmy 0.19.3.
Time to see if there are any notable dead people near me and start a tradition.
Consider lunch at Piroshky Piroshky while you’re over there.
I’m into it. Let’s go right down the whole Cascade range.
I would have been happy either embracing a native name or removing the Confederate’s name. That this is an opportunity to do both at once is extra sweet.
That looks marvelous! Nice trip, and nice shot. Did you try any fishing?
It’s your community to manage as you wish. Don’t hesitate to enforce the no politics rule if you see fit.
That said, I think this thread is fun, lighthearted shitposting and would vote to keep it up. If politics posts becomes a trend, though, then that wouldn’t be cool here.
Waning testosterone has some advantages: no more acne, cooler emotions, fewer irrational thoughts. I once heard someone say that young men go through years of testosterone poisoning, and I get it now.
I finally started lifting seriously. I highly recommend it. I look better, feel better, and a lot of little aches and pains that were starting to creep up on me have gone away.
A few gray hairs in the beard looks really sharp.
Tim Walz once held his hands apart to show his buddy the size of the walleye he caught. Then, the very next week, he did the same for a different friend but held his hands slightly farther apart. Inexcusable!
This whole post is gold, both the owls and non-owls. Those two people do look like they’re living the dream, too! I’m reconsidering my life goals right now.
I don’t understand your comment about no images. !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social looks like what you want, and I see plenty of image posts there.
If you don’t like that community for some reason, you might try resurrecting one of the existing dormant Harry Potter communities:
!harry_potter@diagonlemmy.social
!harry_potter_memes@diagonlemmy.social
!harrypotter@lemm.ee
!harrypotter@lemmy.world
Or, if you really want to start your own community, then by all means do it. Just know that it’s a lot of work to get a new one off the ground and build a critical mass of active users.
