I was thinking of what a good opportunity to strike to show solidarity with Government workers.

So well put. Like have we not learned how Trump's main strategy is just to do what he wants and see what the courts say? You win either way. He hasn't totally got his way with the National Guard in Chicago and Portland, but he still established federal control of the guard and pushed his power forward. Instead of hemming and hawing, levy the charges and tie up operations in the court system. Even if you lose, you delay the process.

How quickly can these remove the valve? could you cut off the stem with wirecutters faster?

Well, in a perfect world, where the POTUS is immune from prosecution when executing official acts, they could seize their assets. Would it ever happen? The only way I could envision is if the vast majority of the population supports (or is indifferent to) such an action. But hey, we currently have a $200b secret police force roaming the land, so maybe there's a chance!

But seriously, an extreme wealth tax would be a step in the right direction.

Yeah, it didn't look to me like he was dragged. It looked like he refused to let go.

I understand your point, but did you watch the security camera video? If you haven't, go watch it and ask yourself if the shooting was warranted.

This was my take, at least with the soybean thing. Family farms go belly up. Big AG is there to buy up the land for pennies.

Thank you. Good message. Also, stop comparing yourself to master players. It's ok to aspire, but be realistic.

Come and See is so brutal.

 

I live near a major airport and see commercial planes with huge front headlights shining in the night sky. What could they be good for way up in the sky, though? I get that when they are taking off/landing headlights are necessary. Why not give them lights like a boat, with a green in front and a red in back?

 
 

Pic from a fen restoration I help with. Prettiest one I've seen.

 

Anyone have a method for determining the best stem length and rise? I'm a casual road cyclist and I feel like I have too much weight on my hands, noticable more on longer rides. I kinda feel like it should be an inch (2-3 cm) shorter, but not sure how rise would impact that. How do I go about finding whats right without trying 4 or 5 stems? Any help is appreciated!

I moved back to gears after riding the last ten years on a single speed. Just greased all bottom bracket parts and crankset with custom lubricant my friend is piloting. A little science experiement!

 

I tried subbing to the one on Lemmy.world, but nobody's home. Perhaps there is one someone can rec from another instance? Any help is appreciated!
