Nice. When I am teaching students in our intro class that everyone takes it once regardless of skill, I can always tell when someone has skated as a kid (or done other sports like skiing) even if it’s been decades for them - it’s just much easier to return to than to start from scratch like I did.

All three of the ways to get there work for me:

The “LegiScan” thumbnail on this post (which it copied from the target post)

The text link (“lemmy.world”)

The link icon (🔗) in the post’s toolbar

Huh, it correctly stays in Boost for me

Can repro!

I scrolled up and down it a few times, then hit reply, it froze and then crashed.

Everyone is clicking the link to load the post OP is talking about and not this one reporting the bug, right?

Very likely!
It lasted for something like an hour near me (South of Seattle, don’t want to be too specific)

Roller skating. In that community my skill level is nothing special. But it’s not a common hobby to have at all these days (at least where I am) for the average person.

It’s how the song goes.

Yeah, 2009… I remember the Jaunty Jackalope and Karmic Koala - although I was using Kubuntu.

Boost for Lemmy

We had one night a couple years ago with more lightning than the total I had ever seen in my life before (and since) then. I’m guessing it was like a weak storm in the Midwest.

Markdown does sometimes be that way, but it depends on the client. My app just shows the #s verbatim.

If you car would you what were in a know accident to do?

Ah, that would be a nice skill. I might even be better equipped for it now than when I was young because I’ve gotten into roller skating and improved my balance that way.

Kickstand, holding a fence, etc. That active Regen thing sounds great, if I buy one of these I’ll make sure it can do it.

Sure, but there are limits. One needs a certain amount of forward speed to maintain balance easily, and there’s a maximum speed that can be reasonably pedaled. If the hill is steep enough then in my experience reducing the gearing enough to make pedaling not too strenuous runs into the other two limits. If an e-bike can have a low battery topped off before the hill starts, then pedal-assist (at least) would take care of the need to lower the gear while going up it.

Yes, but is it possible to pedal and use regen breaking to recharge the battery when stationary? It does work like that in my car (plug-in hybrid) but I don’t know if e-bikes are the same way.

I don’t own one of these, but that sounds actually useful if for example I’m about to climb a big hill and want to pedal at a less strenuous pace (but for more time) than would be needed to overcome the slope.

I like that it’s exactly the same pile, none of them even shifted while being painted.

This is all very true. I didn’t mean it wasn’t a profound message - just that the profound can come from odd places. It was an excellent episode in my opinion.

My favorite thing about this is the context: It was literally about losing a video game.
