Or breaks a year later and your have to figure out what the fuck you made. The worst thing in the world is when you leave it for the next guy, and you end up being the next guy.

I thought humans were notoriously efficient walkers, so we don’t burn that many calories that way?

The problem is partly the culture, but largely the design of our suburbs and sprawl.

Increased density and public transit are cool, but until there’s laws about not cutting down that “empty” patch of trees, or paving over that old farmland, developers are gonna make shitty sprawl, and cars will be necessary.

I mean it’s so bad and people are so cheap about it that they choose forced HOAs to maintain culdesacs and roads instead of properly funding public services with taxes.

Solid joke, but hard to pull off in person if you’re over 6 feet.

Where $5 foot longs are now on sale for $11.99, and still aren’t a foot long.

With a town of 1200, only 288 of them not-black, most of the white people are probably cops, or related to one.

The airspace is a public asset though. Letting capitalists exploit it for profit isn’t going to end well, if the rest of the environment is anything to go by.

Yeah plenty of well off liberal New Englanders have them around here. There are big Facebook groups about them and all kinds of online hype/bullshit (like everything at this point) about longevity, allergies, intelligence, etc.

They don’t shed as much, but the less they shed the more they need grooming, or they end up with mats and tangled.

It’s broader than one farm, my mom is obsessed with doodles too. But prior to that had a purebred Bernese mountain dog. They’re great dogs, but have largely been bred into tragically short lifespans. Her’s died at 4 or 5 years old and averages at the time were like 6-8 years. So there’s the thought/hope that mixing with a broader gene pool available in the poodles will help them live longer.

They are also supposed to shed less is a reason I’ve been given a lot, but they need grooming all the time so I think it’s bullshit. They are cute, but it’s mostly a bunch of online groups that are driving the trend.

Chikdren? Sounds delicious.

Rad, I wish they had these when I was matting tons of stuff in art school. Though I probably wouldn’t have been able to justify the price.

Ahhh, nope I was thinking of normal steel blades.

How do the ceramic blades hold up? I’d be a little worried about chipping or cracking.

Worse than that, they ~~have~~ gave free speech to corporations, and now that includes doing nearly anything involving communication or spending money.
