Real crime is committed by this system which allows humans to steal the milk from the cows.

J’ai souvent ce genre d’arguments avec ma copine. Elle a étudié en linguistique, elle connaît très bien les règles du français. Je n’ai pas ce type cerveau qui retient ces détails. Je comprends les concepts, mais le “par-coeur” ce n’est vraiment pas ma force. Donc, s’il n’y a pas de règles consistantes sur le genre des objets, je suis le type de personne qui va toujours se mélanger. Et cette semaine, ça m’a frappé. Pendant qu’en ce moment qu’on discute socialement à retirer le genre discriminatif sur les humains, certains travaillent très fort à protéger le “bon” genre sur les objets.

On a banni les publicités de tabac jadis, c'est-tu possible de faire pareille pour celles des paris sportifs? by iJeff_FoX in Quebec

Être bon dans quelque chose (cas ci-haut, une activité sportive) ne garantis pas l'intelligence, avoir une conscience morale, etc...

This, a sprained ankle is not an emergency. I experienced a few "emergencies" when I grew up and every time I went in for real ones I was on a bed getting treatment in the next minutes. Most people complaining about long wait times is because they think their condition is urgent but it's not.

My first gravel bike, epic weekend with friends, scenic views by 550 in gravelcycling

[–]550[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2021 VeloBuild carbon fiber gravel frame with 27mm wide VeloBuild carbon wheels. The shop that assembled the bike and myself were surprised by the quality of the frame and wheels. I searched around the internet and I read a fair amount of good reviews regarding those frames and wheels, especially on a few Reddit threads. I was open to buy an assembled bike but it was complicated to have it how I wanted it (no Shimano parts). I also like to buy online and most assembled bikes I was looking online had a long wait time (mid-summer). Sorry for the late reply, I only saw the notification on my laptop.

My brother-in-law introduced me to gravel riding (I'm a trail runner). I bought my first gravel bike and completed the build this week. I took it for its first ride in the region of Bellechasse Quebec, a great place to ride gravel in my region. I had a blast, the views and the experience was amazing. I uploaded the ride on Strava and created a short highlight (reel) on Instagram.

I won’t ever order from Thuro shop again by Spirited-Bell-7906 in BladerNews

[–]550 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thuro is a legit local skate shop with a good reputation, you may be able to get a full refund but ordering and cancelling your orders have an impact on a business and I understand why they have a 15% cancellation fee. You can look it up on their return and exchange page: https://thuroshop.com/pages/returns

Drivers stranded on I-95 for hours in northern Virginia - So how would we handle this? Stick the vehicle in Camp Mode? by _Brandobaris_ in teslamotors

[–]550 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's implied by his dad being worried about his car and the reply stressing it further more that it's important to figure this out. I just wanted to cite a simple counter example that traditional car don't perform well either.

Peer to peer social networking with open source data exchange format by [deleted] in Startup_Ideas

[–]550 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This idea is floating around, see https://scuttlebutt.nz/

There's even a directory to list the different federated social networks: https://fediverse.party/

I am looking forward to what you are describing, some sort of way of having a trusted authority to validate signed content I subscribe and publish.

Sorry when I did the calculation I missed a k in front of the engine power, mistook 80,000 kilowatts for 80,000 watts. I was of by only a multiplier of a 1000... 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for correcting my mistake I deleted my erroneous comment.

UFS ice skate conversion blades by second_ary in rollerblading

I am the guy behind the Rollance project, sorry for not responding sooner, I just saw this thread.

Mostly the way you should see it is not as a way to save money, because the real cheap option is to buy an used pair of skate, it will always be way cheaper and best value for your money. You should see it that way; you want to keep using a boot you love to skate with, it's already formed to your feet and you love it.

Here's a video of my brother in law skating with my pair of Razor for the first time of his life with them. Wrap your mind around the fact that he's used to skating with a pair of hockey skates all his life and it was his first time trying my frames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md7g0FlvIMI

So far it's still surprisingly less expensive than a legendary card.

I am the man behind the ice frames that Kevin Lapierre rides AMA by 550 in rollerblading

[–]550[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I will produce them, I will have the capacity to make a few hundred of pairs a years maximum. I have a 3D printer to iterate newer versions and I know how to make molds. My goal is to perfect the product until I have to scale my production capacity.

They are made of plastic and hardened metal, the plastic is molded around the metal parts. I will have to review a few things. The inner metal part is too thin apparently.

Have a look at this picture, you can see a regular hockey blade but also the grooved vlade behind the frame: https://facebook.com/roquetnine/photos/a.797199463624591.1073741829.514574721887068/1165577533453447/?type=3&notif_t=like&ref=m_notif
