I don’t understand your comment about no images. !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social looks like what you want, and I see plenty of image posts there.

If you don’t like that community for some reason, you might try resurrecting one of the existing dormant Harry Potter communities:
!harry_potter@diagonlemmy.social
!harry_potter_memes@diagonlemmy.social
!harrypotter@lemm.ee
!harrypotter@lemmy.world

Or, if you really want to start your own community, then by all means do it. Just know that it’s a lot of work to get a new one off the ground and build a critical mass of active users.

I got you, friend.

a physical button on the floor under the gas pedal

I had an E30 BMW with one of those. Push the button and the automatic transmission would immediately downshift, and the engine would spin up in a hurry. Spaz mode was fun.

New Zealand doesn’t exist!

Power and fuel economy are not the only two variables. Emissions are the biggest thing that comes to mind: your new high-performance remap might put your car outside of the emissions limits for your market.

Some aggressive remaps can also adversely affect how the car drives in normal use. Think rough idle, or jerky acceleration. The vast majority of drivers do not want that.

Assuming I’m still in good health, I want to go on some long bicycle tours. Like weeks or months long. Maybe start with the GAP/C&O Canal as a warm-up. Then La Route Verte. After hitting a few other sections of the US and Canada I would move across the pond to the UK, Ireland, and western Europe.

If I can find a riding partner who is open to dirt then I would really love to do the GDMBR. There are lots of shorter trails that would be fun warm-up trips, too. Unfortunately, I have yet to meet anyone IRL who is crazy enough to do multi-day off-road trips with me.

It’s a known bug in Sync with Lemmy 0.19.5:

lemmy.world is still on Lemmy 0.19.3.

Consider lunch at Piroshky Piroshky while you’re over there.

It’s your community to manage as you wish. Don’t hesitate to enforce the no politics rule if you see fit.

That said, I think this thread is fun, lighthearted shitposting and would vote to keep it up. If politics posts becomes a trend, though, then that wouldn’t be cool here.

Waning testosterone has some advantages: no more acne, cooler emotions, fewer irrational thoughts. I once heard someone say that young men go through years of testosterone poisoning, and I get it now.

I finally started lifting seriously. I highly recommend it. I look better, feel better, and a lot of little aches and pains that were starting to creep up on me have gone away.

A few gray hairs in the beard looks really sharp.

Tim Walz once held his hands apart to show his buddy the size of the walleye he caught. Then, the very next week, he did the same for a different friend but held his hands slightly farther apart. Inexcusable!

Hillary lost because she didn’t do enough to incentivize people to vote for her.

Hilary got more than enough votes. She received 2.9M more votes than Trump. Her problem was that her support was much too concentrated in a small number of states. The Electoral College math punishes candidates in that situation.

Boo. The babylon bee is MAGA pandering trying to pass as humor.

Same. I see a lot of far-right branded pickups and this doesn’t look like one to me. Am I missing something?

Edit: I see the Proud Boys logo is a laurel wreath with “PB” in the center. Though the laurel wreath by itself is ambiguous. That symbol is used in lots of non-sinister contexts.

Minot. Curtis LeMay would have had wet dreams over it.

In theory a pension is stable, guaranteed income. The employer promises a monthly or annual payment for life, and they manage a pool of money to make sure you get that payment regardless of whether the market goes up or down. People like stability.

With a 401k you take on the market risk yourself. If the market tanks (2000 and 2008 come to mind) then your retirement funds are suddenly worth less and your payments to yourself (distributions) go down. Of course, if the market is hot you can also direct your investments to try and ride the wave. Greater risk means greater (potential) reward.

401k’s also have required minimum distributions that kick in as you get older. If you live long enough you will reach a point where you have been forced to drain the whole thing into your regular bank account. Then it’s time for another plan.

After digging into it, we banned the two sh.itjust.works accounts mentioned in this post. A quick search of the database did not reveal any similar accounts, though that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
