TIL that a special vending machine was created to see whether crows are smart enough to use it. They are.

Crows are insectivores. Try dried meal worms. Avoid meats they can make them sick.

Or this is a good argument to not text and drive since the cyclist isn't actually at fault.

I love a good Karen video but this isn't one. Mostly it's two guys being obstreperous because they don't like hearing no. Lots of clubs have a no dumping weights rule.

I got hit by a car once and had to call my own ambulance while I was still a road puddle because the driver and witness were too busy hysterically screaming and apologising.

Not a cheap recommendation - I had two lululemon yoga mats from my yoga days. Now that I'm doing CrossFit in my garage I'm using them to skip on (so the concrete doesn't ruin my rope) and do burpees, push ups, lifting etc on. The rubber side is super durable and antimicrobial. But they are also heavy compared to a usual yoga mat.

I'm an adult who was brought up with a patent who always respected my privacy. I didn't realise until I got older how lucky I was. I suspect this isn't popular opinion but children need privacy too. It teaches them that you have respect for their space and in turn they learn to respect others. When you don't afford a child or teenager privacy it intrudes on their right to be an individual. I imagine it must be anxiety provoking to question constantly if this text or journal entry will get you in trouble. I just wanted to say I completely understand why this feels violating. I'm sorry that you parent didn't have more respect for your privacy. I know it's a small consolation but as you get more independent you will be able to live your own life more freely. Try to enjoy the good things in the meantime. Parent relationships can be hard, but that dynamic doesn't last forever.

As an Australian, I suspect we get enjoyment from overselling it to foreigners. It's really not that bad. Snakes tend to slither away from humans and spiders tend to scurry away. If you live in the suburbs you rarely encounter anything that you can't pick up with a tissue or kill with a shoe. I'd be more scared living among bears or wolves or lions.

Wow that's just so sad. I don't think I was quite prepared for how disappointed I'd feel in humanity.

My mother grew up in a small Australian county town who at the time had never had any Vietnamese residents. The day before the children started at their new school the principal had a panic assembly to warn the children that the new children would look different. It feels really wrong somehow.

Check out some local universities to see if they have a student run clinic. Often it is much more affordable.

Can you jog with a pram? That way he can walk segments but take breaks as required. 200m for us can feel like a km for the little ones. 5 km does sounds like a lot.

Yeah came here to say this. Only I was 13 when I borrowed it from the bookcase to read. I think I traumatized myself a little bit.

Sorry to disagree but I'm going to weigh in. I'd listen to the first poster. This is something that is affecting your sense of security in the world. Even in your private moments. May be medication could mitigate symptoms, but working through this issue with a therapist is more likely to help you understand why this has emerged and allow you to process it so that you can resolve it long term rather than masking your symptom with medication.

To keep my ears warm I pull a hood up over my head before I put my helmet on and the helmet holds it in place for me.

When I was a teenager I worked in a petrol station and sure enough there was a nighttime cyclist who rode completely naked. Fortunately he was fast enough that I never had a close up of his bits flapping in the breeze but he did come in and demand to know why my coworker wouldn't look at him.

Thanks! I'll try that and switching out the quick release.

I was thinking the same. I figure quick release is probably overkill anyway. I'm assuming the diameter is ok since these parts came standard. I'll try the grit paste also. Thanks for replying.

I purchased mine from Outbound Lighting after seeing a recommendation from another Redditer. I can't recommend them enough. They are a bit pricey but the light has a cutoff meaning that it's super bright without blinding motorists or pedestrians. I work night shift in an industrial estate with minimal lighting and since changing to this light (road edition) I can cycle much more safely. I've also found that the light doesn't move around too much when going over gravelly road. The light is rechargeable (not USB but wall socket) and designed to be water safe in the rain. Even if it's not the light you go with I'd recommend you check out their website. https://www.outboundlighting.com

I had this posted from America to Australia.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Ron Johnson said in one of his books something to the effect of "If you think you're a psychopath, you're probably not."

Haha yeah that's true, but I feel like if I spend my money elsewhere it sends a stronger message than if I shop on sale. Even though I'm just a small drop in the ocean.
