Update 1

I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.

Do you think three wheeled cars should make a comeback?

[–] lightrush@lemmy.ca 64 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'd go for three wheeled bikes.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Those are called trikes... obviously. How have you not figured that out? Bikes are called what they are because they have two wheels, "Bi" meaning two, same as we humans are bipedal because we walk on two legs. If a person had a third leg they wouldn't be "bipedal with three legs", they'd be tripedal.

I seriously don't understand how anyone older than a literal child fails to understand that.

Haha love how angry this made you 😁 You go get 'em tiger 🐯

Is a bin with three wheels a trin?

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

That's his thing. He takes pleasure in being cruel. And because he's "technically" right, he'll never own that.

A bike is an object with two kes. What's a ke?

[–] kingofthezyx@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

It's actually every other ke.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

a Latinized form of Greek kyklos "circle, wheel"

[–] deus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It could also be an object with ke bis, which sounds much cooler if you ask me.

I don't understand how anyone older than a literal child would talk like you, tbh. And assume so much based on a joke to boot.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Only if the front wheel is like a rolling pin

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Rear wheels: 235/55R19XL
Front wheel: Fred Flintstone style

“Yabba Dabba Doo!”

I cancelled my reservation after the 16th prototype and 3rd fundamental design change.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I still have my reservation but I'm tempted to switch to Telo

I like Slate but it's not enough range for me

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I forgot about this as soon as it didn't have a headphone jack.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I’ve legitimately seen a few (with a single back wheel) here in LA. I wouldn’t take it on a highway, but they seem alright. Like a juiced up golf cart you can drive on the street, or maybe a hobbled dune buggy.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes they're fine in LA street traffic. But probably not great in bad weather either.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the ones I saw didn’t have a fully enclosed interior like a normal vehicle. Definitely not what I’d want to be in during a downpour.
