So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

In my much younger/prettier days I used to dance on top of the speaker at the bar. That thump is just as nice coming through the soles of your feet.
A guy once told me that dancing with me was like having sex, standing up. Best compliment I ever got.
I'm #autistic. The sound of the train blowing its horn as it passes my house makes me cover my ears in pain. But the throbbing bass of the engine that causes a deep pressure in my chest from the vibration makes me feel happy.
When I was a kid, I used to crank up the bass of my parents' stereo and sit directly against the woofer to feel that pressure. They would always yell at me to turn it down. I've always loved that feeling.

Only sometimes. Like when I'm drifting off to sleep and something I did 40+ years ago suddenly leaps to the front, waves its arms, and screams for attention.
Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades have trouble living in the present due to fear of the future? Or regretting the past?
Yeah, I'm looking at a Polestar, and the base wheels - 19" - are plenty big enough for me. A single motor long range version on those tires goes 320 miles per charge and 0-60 in 6 seconds, which is as fast as the "performance" car I drove 20 years ago. That's fast enough. That's far enough.
βFor example, the Honda Accord Hybrid suffers a 9 percent loss of efficiency moving from 17- to 19-inch wheels. The Toyota Prius suffers a similar loss between trims, dropping from 57 mpg (4.13 L/100 km) to 52 mpg (4.52 L/100 km). As does the Lucid Air, which loses about 7.5 percent of its range when you swap 19-inch wheels for 21-inch versionsβ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/08/can-we-please-just-go-back-to-using-smaller-wheels-and-tires/
And both the US and the UK fell for it. Which doesn't say good things about either one.

βThis should be decided at the ballot boxβ is such an utterly deranged thing to say when the reason why we are in this situation is that Trump and his enablers didnβt respect the decision at the ballot box and instead engaged in a vast conspiracy to end constitutional government.

Their money has always shielded them from consequences before, so they think it'll continue.
Amazing how every billionaire thinks their money will save them from being boiled alive with us.
Well, actually, when you think about the purpose of a flower, it isn't the neck you're snapping.
Picking flowers is wild when you think about it
Oh hey, you smell nice *snaps neck*
