Em dashes are definitely a less reliable sign in professionally written and edited articles. That's the context where actual humans will use them most often

This is a common issue, but it can be resolved by the sound of a treat bag shaking

France already has them, though?

You don't become this rich in the first place if you have a concept of "enough"

I hope I'm as tough as people like that if and when I get to that age. I like hillwalking and bump into them every so often. I'm fairly capable out on the hills but I take a pretty leisurely approach; I'll bring a good sandwich and stop to eat it somewhere with a nice view, take a little detour to see something interesting, that sort of thing. One time when I was out I overtook one very old lady four times because every time I stopped she just marched on by like a goddamn machine. On the fourth one she made a joke about the tortoise and the hare. I was glad she said it because I was definitely thinking it

They are at least a lot lighter than an actual motorbike, but yes there should be a line drawn on how fast they can go. The motors are capped at 15.5 mph / 25 kph here, which is a fast but manageable pace for a decent cyclist. Anything above that counts as a motorbike and has to be taxed and registered as one

The opposite happens to me frequently because they have electric assist bikes and I don't. Holy shit that old boy is keeping up a pace- ohhhhh he's barely pedalling

I'm kinda envious to be honest

Well justified, though it'll be a goddamn miracle if it actually happens. Even outside of the invasion, Russia is one of the world's worst polluters

It's a lovely feeling knowing they trust and feel safe enough around you for that

I am glad to report that he does indeed enjoy getting his belly tickled while being cradled like a baby, because he is a fearsome apex predator panther

Thanks to m3t00@lemmy.world for enlightening me of this important occasion

 
 

Title edited as it has been pointed out to me that the sale has actually ended

I picked up Descenders and Absolute Drift. Only tried the latter so far, but it's great fun. Feels like there's an extremely high skill ceiling to it that I am unlikely to reach. It only cost me £1 too!

I normally go for sim racers like Assetto Corsa and Automobilista, but I have a real soft spot for the old Wipeout games and the similarly-aged N-Gen. Pacer (a touch light on tracks but a perfect spiritual successor to Wipeout) and Jetborne Racing (basically a tech demo and extremely demanding with a gamepad, but worth checking out) have been fun releases in somewhat more recent years
