For me it's both. I compare my runs on routes and segments going back years. The social part is nice to share info about trail conditions and see when my friends hit a big effort or PR.

I played through the training level and it took me a minute to realize it's sub string/grep match. So in the first training level the pattern . matches everything when it feels like it should be .* to match all the characters of the enemies.

The UI looks great!

I keep an optical drive in my desktop for the sound it makes when it boots.
My grandmother said it like this, "sometimes people need to help more than people need help" in the context of a much younger me asking effectively why she bothered (I forget the context). That has stuck with me for years.

Re:How to Replace Your CPAP in Only 666 Days on Monday February 05, 2024 @11:04AM (#39262626)
I was supposed to go through Apria during the shortage a few years ago. They kept giving me longer estimates for when a machine would be available. After calling and waiting a few weeks I bought my own online and had it the next day. It was worth the out of pocket to get a cpap sooner as I was barely able to function at work due to sleep issues.

I refuse to do business with Apria. They’re the worst company I’ve ever dealt with.
