Hey, no kink shaming.
Competing standards and clueless sellers are bad, and then the tire marketing makes things even worse.
Marketed for road? That’s 700c.
Marketed for mountain? That’s 29".
Marketed for ebikes? That’s 28".
But all three tires fit on the same 622mm diameter rim.
Throw people in prison and then they aren’t homeless. Problem solved! /s
Thanks for giving us a great app!
I don’t have any good advice, but I can relate. As a kid you only get one (very limited) view of your parents. Over time these awkward but eye-opening moments happen where you have to realize they are normal people, too.
If you really want some fun, hang out with your parents’ old friends and ask them for stories. You might learn more about your folks than you expect (or want).
Their first customer is American Airlines. The airline is paying Graphyte to capture 10,000 tons of CO2 to offset emissions from its planes.
I know a guy who addresses his wife as Woman. It started as a joke and stuck. She loves it. When he needs to get her attention in a public place he just shouts, “Woman!” and she cheerfully responds. It gets great reactions from people who don’t know.
Despite my best efforts to get away from computers, I still find myself attached to them in one way or another during most of my waking hours. Lemmy is my computer time that acts as a mental break from other computer time. Connecting in an even more intimate way sounds horrible.
I know what my Cub Scouts are doing at their next meeting.
For that bolt, I’d say give it 5 ugga-duggas and call it good.
Saab 35 cobra maneuver for the win.
Nice shot!
Yep, you guessed it!
Seattle, on the tram between the main airport and the north satellite gates.
Say out loud to yourself, “What the hell is this?” or, “Why did they do it this way?” once in a while. Everyone around will think you know exactly what you’re doing.
It varies greatly depending on your setup.

Before the internet, there really was only 1 viewpoint and 1 viewpoint only on the news.
Absolutely, though it went beyond the news. Culture in general was much more monolithic. You could start a conversation with any random person about the previous evening’s episode of Gunsmoke or MASH or Cheers and there was a very good chance they had watched it. It’s hard to overstate how much more diverse culture has become in the Internet era, for better and for worse.
Yep, I dialed directly into a modem on the far end and used a terminal emulator to navigate the service. A local office supply store had a cork board by the door where people could post events or sell used stuff, and a few BBSs had their info posted there.
The BBS I used actually partnered with the office supply store to sell credits. I would go to the customer service counter and buy a piece of paper with an access code that I could then redeem for hours on the server. That’s how the BBS paid for their hardware and phone lines.
Happy midsummer!
I visited Sweden years ago. On the trip I was invited to join a family’s midsummer party. It was lots of fun!
I hope I can go back some day. It’s a fantastic country.
