Sheldon Brown is the man. Don’t let the awful web design deter you: you can learn a ton of stuff about bikes on his site.

Back wheel is costlier to replace (due to gearing, assuming it’s not a fixie/single speed), so I prioritize locking the back wheel if I can only do one.

If you have quick-release axles and don’t want to worry about having your wheels stolen, most bike shops have security axles, which have a special key to loosen the axle. I’ve used them in the past for some extra peace of mind. Just dont lose the key(s)!

EDIT: if you get a LONG, beefy chain lock, you can carry it around your torso like one of those ammo belts. Convenient to not need a backpack or pannier for short trips. Be prepared to spend some $$ on a good lock. It’s a great investment.

Probably real beef!

Do you remember the name of the story?

Interesting… I’ll have to check that out.

It’s a great movie, definitely worth your time.

Lol, looks like it would be a slog but I’d still love to try it out.

I haven’t checked out any content yet, but I’ve added it to my “watch while eating or stoned” bookmarks folder.

Sad to think that some of this stuff may only exist on video someday…

Some people have zero respect for their own lives, and by extension, any living thing. Money insidiously affects all, whether you’re a have or a have not.

We must try our best to nurture and understand our world instead of “conquering” it.

Wow sweet site, thanks for sharing.

Potentially? Seems highly likely to me.

Is that an actual tweet of his? Lol what a dork

I think the difference is that turds break down, while cockroaches are more durable. And I’m not talking about the pipes under your house… moreso the waste water treatment facility down the line.

I do not work in sanitation, I just remember reading that somewhere and the Three C’s stuck in my mind.

As for an alternative disposal method, I would suggest throwing the carcasses into a volcano.

Don’t flush roaches, they wreak havoc at the sanitation plant. Remember the Three C’s of stuff that regularly plugs up the sanitation system: Cockroaches, Condoms, Corn.

Nexus One was my first Android phone. I miss the trackball every day… so handy for moving the cursor through text. And it doubled as a notification LED! So sweet. Plus the removable battery, shit was awesome. I still have it in a box somewhere. I’m on a Pixel 7 now.

Lots of choices for sure. I haven’t built a PC in years but I’d start with looking at the requirements for the Minecraft & Jellyfin server, maybe shoot a bit higher to future-proof the build, then browse PC part picker builds to find combos that have worked well for others?

Best of luck to you.

I used Google Reader, but I did jump over to inoreader for quite a while to follow webcomics. RSS feeds still exist, so you can start curating your lists again anytime. It’s nice to find those gem sites/blogs one wouldn’t normally see on lemmy/Reddit/etc

Finland, Finland, Finland… the country where I want to be.
