@kpl I've played Cult of the Lamb but not Dredge πŸ€”

@vi_zzyzx I've been kind of resisting but I think you're selling me on Alan Wake 2 πŸ˜…

@dethe I have played Subnautica.... but I might have to try it again πŸ€”

A little surprisingly, my continued torture of several AI models eventually yielded the solution of using a Python context manager to ATTACH and DETACH an external SQLite database. Not the worst solution?

@vi_zzyzx ...wait, did you say "new Poe track"?!

@vi_zzyzx sweet merciful crap, how did I miss this?

@vi_zzyzx this is true

@vi_zzyzx Oh dang, that’s my flavor of nerding πŸ˜…

Oh, so that’s how he ends up paying that Saudi prince back. It’s like paying off one credit card with another credit card

Went for a bike ride! (yay)

Broke my bike half-way through! (boo)

I was a block away from my usual bike store! (yay)

I took the bike in and they said they've never seen that happen before? (boo)

I left the bike with them and rented a pretty nice city e-bike to ride home, even stopped by the booze store for some Campari (yay)

Seriously, some of these Biketown e-bikes in Portland are surprisingly beefy with their pedal assist

My current guess at what broke my bike is that I am a Big Guy who stepped down Too Hard at a green light and made a bearing or something inside the pedal assist motor very unhappy. I am not exactly kind to my bike

@kf I broke a chain at a green light before but not the whole ring πŸ˜… (probably in my future, TBH)
