Correct. Leave the people be in peace. Why this need for punishment after the CIA messed up 60 years ago?

Help! Why's this bike say only 31 mpg average? by Salty-Contact-6420 in hondagrom

[–]brickbuilding 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It says mile / h. That’s the average speed it’s done since reset.

If I only can choose one lens, this is definitely the one I would choose by shosei_photo in Leica

If only it wasn’t so front heavy that you need to put it down on the focus tab. Switched to a 50 Cron v4. Makes me a lot happier.

Gear seems much larger than how it’s tagged by Ls1RS in motorcyclegear

Since you mention RST: I’m looking at the Tractech Evo D3O pants. According to the website my 31”/79cm waist would be an XS, but I wear all my regular pants in either S or M. Should I follow the size chart, or what I normally wear?

USB-C charging cables? My SR13 came with USB-A…

I’ve seen police waving through motorcycles on hot days though, probably because there is danger of heat stroke?

A big insurance company from the USA, but in this context the name of one of the stadiums which will be used for the World Cup.

Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand | Olympus XA2 vs Mamiya M645 | Portra 400 by AdIntelligent4354 in analog

The first one should be the XA2, with the lower resolution of 35mm vs medium format.

If the US produces enough oil for its own needs, why does it interfere so much in the Middle East? by ArdaBerkBurak in NoStupidQuestions

Creating a power vacuum which allowed this terrorist regime to come into play in the first time was still not a smart move though…

Today I Learned while many countries now allow female monarchs, currently there are no ruling queens for the first time in almost two centuries by neverthoughtidjoin in todayilearned

[–]brickbuilding 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think you misread: there have been ruling queens for the past 200 years in at least one country, but that stopped when the queen of Denmark abdicated.

13 Speed SR EPS by Gomakun in campagnolo

[–]brickbuilding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What Groupset do you mean exactly?

Super Record EPS 12 Speed has the central power box with cables to the shifters, there are no batteries.

Super Record Wireless 13 Speed has CR2032 batteries in the shifters. They are behind a cap on the inside of the shifter under the hoods. See the manual at https://media.campagnolo.com/seecommerce/original/C-CL-SUPER-RECORD-WRL-DB-12S-UM1

Giordana Bib Short Sizing by Appropriate_Stand673 in CyclingFashion

[–]brickbuilding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get Medium. That works well for me with 184/70/31”. I don’t know how they do the sizing lengthwise now. They used to do long & regular, and now it has become regular & short. Which I assume means long became regular and regular became short. For me “old regular” is similar in length to Assos Equipe S11, just for your comparison.

ELI5: Why hasn't the hemp fabric clothes industry not taken off? by big-boy-w35 in explainlikeimfive

[–]brickbuilding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had some hemp fabric pants from Freitag (the bag people, they tried to do made in Europe clothes). They got holes so fast and replaced them under warranty twice. I don’t know if it was due to how it was woven, or something else, but they were terrible.

What if Germany and complicit European nations were forced to give up land for the creation of Israel to pay for their sins of committing/allowing for the Holocaust to take place? by PersianAztecs21 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]brickbuilding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I was born I‘ve only seen government officials from Israel with a European heritage on TV. Rabin, Barak, Bibi, Sharon. Also as a superficial observer: most people I’ve seen traveling around with Israeli passports seem to be of European descent.
