Nice! Also have a 1:28 that my wife got for me. Thing is super fast, like 25km/h. What model did you get?

I am super impatiently awaiting a new set of wheels for my RC car to be delivered. I purchased them a while ago and it is taking ages! I want to finally finish my build and let it rip on the street!

Banks: Hold my beer!

And later blame it on the workers that unionized.

Where I live our stores are closed on Sundays except those located in larger railstations and gas stations.

And right in the time where people should be with their families, in Advent, stores are allowed to open up on the four Advent Sundays and everyone goes fucking wild.

Now, the retail store lobby or whatever it is called here is rallying for stores to be allowed to open up 8 Sundays a year, because 'people want the convenience to be able to shop on a Sunday'. You know what? No. Fuck those people. Get your groceries on a Saturday or during the week and chill the fuck out on a Sunday.

It's insane to me how people apparently just can't go one day without getting something from a store.

I think it's beautiful to have one day in the week where (most) people just don't have to work at all. I really don't like how the hypercapitalism of the US just swaps over to Europe more and more.

Yes, but the guys who made the profit will be hailed as successful business people while the people advising for a responsible approach will be condemned as fucking blockers of innovation and success of the business. The idiots at the top who spew out their shit are glamourized while the people cleaning up at the bottom are the joke of society.

What hardcore Linux users don't seem to really get is this: The vast majority of people who need to use computers simply do not care about anything you just said. They absolutely don't. They simply want to press a button to boot the device, use the apps they need and maybe even play a game and that's it. That is what Windows does for them.

The average user is overwhelmed when the desktop icons have been moved.

I love Linux and it is on a great way to being used by a wider audience and it's great it provides the freedom it does. But it still has its quirks that makes it too hard to use for 95% of users.

I fucking hate these piece of shit cars. I will never not think that they all have to compensate for something.

Never thought it's gonna be so much fun! Now I wanna get into rock crawling and asked my friend to print me a new chassis for the TRX-4M, so fucking hyped!

What's your current project?

Wow, most of these points just sound like a responsible way to handle all the bullshit requests from employees. I'm not saying make it unnessecarily painful for employees to request changes. However, I currently work at a company that did the "just do it" approach for years, got big with it and now our department needs to clean up the bullshit of many years to get the company up to code with whatever regulations we are under and people still think we can continue working just like that.

Sounds stupid compared to other stuff here, but a Traxxas TRX-4M 1/18 RC Scale Crawler. I bought it on a whim and then got into modifying it. I've been putting in a bit of money, but it's super fun to play with it and it gets me out of the house to explore the neighbourhood for some good places to crawl it.
