Give em some of these withe the neck rest. Imagine amphibious roman chariots. Or a horse powered pontoon boat.

There's a lot of cool images here https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/nautarch/nwl/lake-champlain-projects/hoofbeats-over-the-water-ina-research-on-horse-powered-ferryboats/

Kagi is rolling out more AI features and I cancelled my subscription after a year. I didn't want my support going towards all the unasked for and unnecessary AI, I jist wanted private search and was willing to pay for that.

Try these instead, they're free and drama free unlike kagi

Edit: Unless you're looking for AI, then maybe Kagi makes sense to pay for

It did close. Surprised to see it reopen. I left reddit for voat early on before it got filled with crazies and eventually lost viable funding.

It sucks cause I really like the Mario Kart and Metroid Prime series and was hoping for more 3D metroid games, but there's just so many other good games out there. Especially with Steam and the Steam Deck. I've had every nintendo console and handheld from the NES through the switch, but that'll be my last console now that the steam deck exists and nintendo has become so hostile.

However I do wish there were more devices like the wii sensor and wiimote/nunchuk. I'd rather PC gaming go in that direction than with VR gaming cause I really hate having to move my neck around with VR.

Qobuz has been amazing. I tried almost all the music streaming platforms during the pandemic and thankfully found Qobuz!

SoundCloud: I was a long time user and a paying customer since 2016 and big advocate. Unfortunately things went downhill around that time as they started taking a lot of remixes and mixes off the platform. Then they introduced some arbitrary limits on the number of songs you could like/add to your library per day, and I kept getting banned from SoundCloud during the pandemic.

I kept threatening soundcloud support that I would cancel my plan but they didn't care, it was a blanket decision and they accused me of making the community unsafe by liking too many songs. I didn't care about their stupid social media aspect, I just wanted to discover new music and listen to what I liked by hitting the Like button to save songs to my library.

So eventually SoundCloud drove me off their platform and I ended up on Qobuz.

Even thought the Qobuz selection is more limited for the genres of music I listen to, its been an amazing few years on Qobuz with HiFi listening and I like how I can discover more music from the artists and labels that like or discover.

Qobuz migration progress: I found 1000 songs so far. I didn't find 500 songs, mostly smaller artists or remixes. I still have another 1500 songs to sort through. But the great part about this journey is moving to high fidelity listening, and the process of discovering more music from my favorite artists or other artists on the same labels.

I ended up getting a bunch of gear from Schiit, DAC(Modi, headphone amp (Magni), speaker amp(Rekkr), desktop speakers, and a Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro. Been in HiFi heavenly bliss ever since getting pushed off soundcloud.

Its a map of future heatstroke and kidney disease as humans sweat out all their water tryin to cool off. Probably a lot of human suffering and migration in the near future.

I've been using maps like these to figure out where its safe to live and also for retirement planning.

Edit: I thought i was replying on a different post but its highly relevant

edit: Firefox on Android also allows add-ons, so you can install ublock origin in the firefox android app and probably watch ad free that way as well.

Not really, gaming is still my main hobby when I'm home. I'm just sinking thousands of hours in to more compelling gaming experiences.
