It's a race to the bottom, which I'd call a systematic bug.

Who's buying anything fun when nobody has a job? So yeah, I agree with what you're saying too.

I miss my old city sometimes.

When you didn't want to/couldn't pay for a view of the statue of liberty, just hop on the ferry with your family who've come up to visit and enjoy the gentle hum of a massive machine plying the waters quietly at night.

It's a terrible idea, having been a biker in socal. You'd think ventilated fabric, even a regular t-shirt with air moving on you from your forward motion would cool you..

It doesn't. You're actually adding heat (thermal energy) to your body faster than it can be removed by your sweat glands, the glands cannot output water fast enough to match the thermal energy being injected into you as the hot air passes over your body. You actually need to insulate yourself with a wind blocking jacket, at which point fuck that, stop riding, and wait a few hours.

It's a very odd sensation, but you understand it almost without explanation if you've tried it... So what were these guys thinking, ignoring their body's alarm bells?

I'm not freaking out. Let's figure out what we need to do. It'd be more of a problem if it were a week ahead of the elections.

If we gotta get violent to protect the ones we love, so be it. Till that time, keep it cool and think.

Nah, calm down.

Nah. Chill out.

I miss when the US was renowned for its peace corps, building wells and hospitals, helping communities which weren't relevant to our income, but were helped for the sake of helping.

I can only mind my small corner, though we all work on our own little projects which may have positive effects in a larger sense.

I grew up here and want to share our wealth with all who strive to benefit both team human, and mother nature. We must quest for good, both locally and globally, or die trying.

For fucking real bro, just ask them if they've actually read the Bible or constitution in it's entirety.

Crickets, every fucking time.

Just block this low-quality troll. Don't engage, just let 'em die of loneliness (like real life).

I think I was wrong, see edit. Carry on!

~~Yeah but JIS for screws/bolts has been abandoned by the Japanese govt as of... 2005?~~

My JIS screwdrivers are fantastic, not easy to torque out on a regular Phillips screw. Stick with the "vessel" brand.

E: I can't find anything more than discussion about it, nothing official. Sorry for the wrong info, looks like JIS screws are still alive.

Thanks for this, new to the area and this helps with finding events (and actually getting there)

Anyone have input here?

I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

Google Pay alternative?

Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?

Exploring the city, it feels both dark and somehow inviting. New experience for sure.

Wish I could figure out how to attach multiple photos in voyager.

Gluten free? (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to make gluten free bread that might be as soft and fluffy as that previously posted Japanese milk bread appears to be?

So, after watching "Plagues and pleasures on the Salton sea" (available on YouTube for free), I decided to look into what was happening to it.

Looks like we actually may help with restoration. But what does that mean, where are we getting the water for it? Will that money actually get to us?

Some interesting ideas on reducing the time to decrypt certain ciphered info, in spite of axolotl's large key-size.
