Everyone else is giving you pretty good advice already. If you have questions once you get here you could always shoot me a message. Depending on where you end up in SE Michigan I would probably be able to give some recommendations on restaurants, venues, and businesses

I don't know why but there's something about this I find really unsettling
Like I have seen horrible imagery of people being droned and disemboweled and that time a Russian T-72 fired on a Ukrainian squad point blank. All that will be with me forever.
Somehow I feel this will be too. There's a sick symbolism to seeing a war machine uncontrollably digging itself into the ground. Helpless to stop its own spiral downward

Yeah but a lot of them just vent back out of the front. It really depends on how they were installed. So maybe double -check if you haven't already

I really enjoyed it when it came out. I wonder why reviews are "mixed" now
Edit: Just looked it up. Apparently it's developed a lot of bugs since launch

If I understand you correctly you seem to be implying this is more favorable to Vance? However, if I read this and didn't know anything about either of them I would tend to look more favorably towards Waltz more as his "Highschool Coach" experience makes him seem more relatable whereas Vance is just some politician. I guess I'm not so convinced this is an obvious example of propaganda.

I just switched back to Linux a week ago (Ubuntu Studio 24.04) from windows. I used to use Linux 15 years ago and I tried a lot of distros at that time. Eventually I landed on Crunchbang which I loved dearly.
Since it's been awhile I wanted something fairly vanilla so Ubuntu Studio felt like a good start. I was planning on switching to something else (I hear we have Crunchbang++ now) after getting used to Linux again but I have kind of settled in to Ubuntu now. It feels a little sloppy but comfortable somehow.

tl;dr: have long commute. Want eBike. Am fat. Should I buy Specialized Veno 4.0 or Veno SL 4.0 EQ? Hello everyone, For multiple reasons I'm looking to purchase my first eBike for my long commute to work. My local bike shop (who I would like to work with on this) sells Specialized. It looks like the Vado 4.0 and Vado SL 4.0 EQ can both be had for around $3200 and these seem like the most likely candidates for this role. My bike shop is recommending the SL. I normally wouldn't question them but Specialized's website claims I would get more range out of the regular Vado. It also has the added advantage of having a removable battery which means I can charge it at my desk and have a full battery for the commute home. On the other hand the SL seems more approachable for someone who has a lot of experience with non-assisted riding. Additionally it's light enough that it should function decently as a conventional bike should the electric drive train turn off. About my commute: By bike my commute to work will be about 26 miles (42km). Terrain is mostly flat and I will be on dedicated bike paths for 85% of the trip. This commute is located in SE Michigan and I intend to ride 2 or 3 times a week as weather permits. I will likely still ride in rain and cold conditions but snow may be a limiting factor as the bike paths are not plowed during the winter. My workplace has lockers and a shower. I can keep changes of clothes at work but would prefer to not have to use the shower unless absolutely necessary. About me: I'm 6'4' (193cm) and about 260lbs (118kg). That may seem too fat to consider this commute, but I race XC (Beginner/Clydesdale) and Enduro (Expert/Open) so I am decently in-shape for my size. For reference Strava has me at 2,458 out of 5,827 at the local hard XC loop, and 75 out of 6584 on one of the downhill sections so I feel capable enough to make this happen. Additionally I used to commute by bike more regularly but the trips were shorter and I would just use one of my mountain bikes. Google claims that the commute will take 2 hours but I'm guessing that is accounting for a slower rider on a conventional bicycle. If I can get the time down to 1hr 30min then this should be entirely feasible. Especially considering my normal commute takes between 40min to 1hr 30min in my car. Additional notes: The bike shop loaned me a demo bike. a Specialized Globe Haul ST. Neither they or I think this is the right bike for me but they had one that's a demo model and suggested I try half my route to see how bad the commute will be. This will give me a decent sample of the route and will be a nice introduction to eBikes in general. Sorry for the long post. Curious what your thoughts are. Has anyone used these bikes or have any tips or recommendations? Thanks! *Edit: I tested the route today on the Haul ST I'm demoing. I decided to do the route to the halfway point and turn around as this would roughly simulate the total distance.* *The good news is despite a couple hiccups with the bike (mostly due to me inexperience), and having to slow down for busy Saturday trail traffic (my rule was 12-15mph anytime I was near any other trail user) I still made the halfway point by 45 minutes. This is exactly the time frame I was hoping for.* *The bike shop told me they didn't think the Haul had the range to make the trip at the speed I wanted and they were right. The Haul preformed admirably overall. I ran PA level 3 until halfway back I realized I had misinterpreted the 'RNG' indicator and checking the app showed that I only 9% battery remaining. I switched to PA level 1 for the rest of the trip home. the Haul is an absolute pig on PA 1 but I was able to limp it home without further issue.* *If I had a slightly shorter commute and needed to carry more than a couple light bags the Haul would be perfect. However, it's designed to carry heavier loads than I need.* *Here's the Strava track if anyone is curious to see how it performed:* https://www.strava.com/activities/10121452712
Just like the title says, I'm curious if anyone is planning to participate during the event. I'm also interested which Hero mechs you might be planning to claim. Are there any Heroes you consider a must have? [View the event here](https://mwomercs.com/news/2023/06/2753-big-beach-party-2023)
In the migration from Reddit to Lemmy, I noticed there was no equivalent to r/OutreachHPG here. Because of this I made my own [community](https://lemmy.world/c/override_shutdown). I figure there’s probably some overlap between fans of the tabletop games and the Mechwarrior video games so I figured I would share it here. With Lemmy being a smaller community I figured it made sense to keep the focus fairly broad so any mech game is welcome to be discussed. If this post is inappropriate please delete, just trying to get a healthy MWO community again
