[2026-04-29T05:20:35Z] <dery> bruh why am I connecting/reconnecting so much
[2026-04-29T05:22:00Z] <dery> soju says "write: broken pipe"
[2026-04-29T05:23:01Z] <dery> that was somewhat obvious but still, not sure what's breaking the connection. The bouncer is attached pretty trivially to the network and I haven't seen connectivity issues with anything else
[2026-04-29T05:23:21Z] <dery> sorry for that. I think I'm also going out for a few hours at a time?
[2026-04-29T05:30:12Z] <kris_> dery: ive only ever seen you go out for like a few seconds
[2026-04-29T05:30:15Z] <kris_> maybe minutes
[2026-04-29T05:32:16Z] <midfavila> but what if there's a happening while dery isn't monitoring the situation 
[2026-04-29T06:00:30Z] <kris_> midfavila: operating situation
[2026-04-29T06:00:45Z] <midfavila> my situation ain't operating chief :cry:
[2026-04-29T06:01:03Z] <midfavila> my BICYCLE sure is though, i got new parts for it
[2026-04-29T06:02:01Z] <kris_> derive linux calls itself an operating situation
[2026-04-29T06:02:12Z] <kris_> fuck yeah on the bike though
[2026-04-29T06:02:55Z] <midfavila> very much so 
[2026-04-29T06:03:27Z] <midfavila> i managed to scavenge a pretty high-end bottom bracket off of a scrap bike that's a fair bit wider than my last one, and a basically new pair of cranks that are like 10cm shorter
[2026-04-29T06:03:38Z] <midfavila> so it's much better suited to my frame ergonomically speaking
[2026-04-29T06:03:50Z] <midfavila> and the new pedals are smooth as any i've ever seen
[2026-04-29T06:04:00Z] <midfavila> basically zero resistance in any of the drivetrain's bearings 
[2026-04-29T06:05:32Z] <kris_> the last time i rode a bike didnt go well
[2026-04-29T06:05:42Z] <midfavila> i'm hoping to get a replacement headset soon so i can get rid of the play in the steering column and uhhhh
[2026-04-29T06:05:57Z] <kris_> i made it about a mile down the road and fell off of it like 3 times
[2026-04-29T06:06:05Z] <midfavila> honestly i think that's all i need for essential parts
[2026-04-29T06:06:10Z] <midfavila> you should try again!!!
[2026-04-29T06:06:12Z] <midfavila> it takes practice
[2026-04-29T06:06:17Z] <kris_> and the front wheel kept wobbling which increased the resistance a LOT
[2026-04-29T06:06:27Z] <midfavila> also most bikes have trash ergonomics in NA
[2026-04-29T06:06:28Z] <kris_> nah mid the issue is the bike was too tall for me (stfu)
[2026-04-29T06:06:34Z] <midfavila> SMOL
[2026-04-29T06:06:36Z] <kris_> so i couldnt foot on the ground
[2026-04-29T06:06:39Z] <kris_> to stop
[2026-04-29T06:06:45Z] <midfavila> yeah that's not great
[2026-04-29T06:06:53Z] <midfavila> you could get a minivelo :3c
[2026-04-29T06:07:02Z] <kris_> no i just need a human sized bike
[2026-04-29T06:07:13Z] <kris_> the guy who let me borrow it is like 6'6"
[2026-04-29T06:07:30Z] <midfavila> the bike industry designs for taller people in general 
[2026-04-29T06:07:32Z] <midfavila> it's annoying
[2026-04-29T06:07:45Z] <kris_> i just need my fucking ebike bro
[2026-04-29T06:07:51Z] <midfavila> i'm like 5'11 in boots and then i need a size small 
[2026-04-29T06:07:54Z] <kris_> The Chariot
[2026-04-29T06:07:59Z] <midfavila> what the fucking fuck sort of logic is that
[2026-04-29T06:08:02Z] <midfavila> >:\
[2026-04-29T06:08:04Z] <kris_> yeah idfk
[2026-04-29T06:08:14Z] <kris_> im 5'6" in my boots
[2026-04-29T06:08:19Z] <midfavila> it doesn't help that the bike industry wants to introduce EVEN BIGGER parts now
[2026-04-29T06:08:22Z] <midfavila> fucking 32" wheels
[2026-04-29T06:08:25Z] <kris_> riding a bike for someone a foot taller fucking sucks
[2026-04-29T06:08:30Z] <midfavila> we're gonna reinvent the penny farthing at this rate
[2026-04-29T06:08:42Z] <kris_> dude please the penny farthing kicks ass
[2026-04-29T06:08:56Z] <kris_> it has a really imposing aura that is vaguely threatening
[2026-04-29T06:08:59Z] <midfavila> i mean you could buy one
[2026-04-29T06:09:00Z] <midfavila> right now
[2026-04-29T06:09:02Z] <midfavila> they still make them
[2026-04-29T06:09:20Z] <kris_> i could even get a little squishy horn
[2026-04-29T06:09:23Z] <kris_> honk
[2026-04-29T06:09:51Z] <kris_> but yeah ebike eventually, im trying to get good enough at game dev to actually put something on steam
[2026-04-29T06:09:55Z] <midfavila> https://www.unicycle.co.uk/product/36-hoppley-penny-farthing-black/
[2026-04-29T06:10:01Z] <midfavila> put an electric kit on this
[2026-04-29T06:10:08Z] <kris_> i don't have health insurance anymore anyway so fuck me nothing to lose from >making self employment money
[2026-04-29T06:10:46Z] <kris_> for now anyway, apparently i get it via my moms husband since they just got married
[2026-04-29T06:10:51Z] <kris_> TBD
[2026-04-29T06:11:04Z] <midfavila> when are americans just going to claim refugee status and move to canada
[2026-04-29T06:11:06Z] <midfavila> honestly 
[2026-04-29T06:11:12Z] <midfavila> private health insurance is so fucking dystopian
[2026-04-29T06:11:45Z] <kris_> i had state provided insurance but the woman at the office didnt do her job so i lost it and have to go through the approval process again
[2026-04-29T06:12:21Z] <midfavila> https://shop.bicymple.com/products/bicymple-penny-farthing
