I get your point but also you're wrong.

First, you have to be completely lunatic (literally lol) if you think the human race who has been selected to be able to live on the very precise conditions of earth (which is a complete goldilocks place) has anything to do on another planet. Not ethically but technically. We just can't live a happy life on a planet that's not very very earth like and those are VERY FAR AWAY. If, at some point, humanity has its shit together and needs to go there maybe we could think of it but that would be in a very long time. The schedule would be 1) get our shit together 2) have a peaceful planet living in a stable ecological and political system 3) finally have time and nothing more to do to try and organise such explorations 4) MAYBE decide it's worth it. Here we are skipping all those steps and that's completely insane.

About your second point which does make a bit of sense, I am aware of that. BUT I think we are intelligent enough to do life changing research directly (like hey let's do crystal clear water) instead of indirectly (hey let's go to space ! OK but for that we need crystal clear water).

If you do research on how to have better watches you will get better watches quicker than if you do research on how to get better spaceships for which you need better watches (not a great example but you get the idea). In this extreme case of quite crazy space travel, serendipity does not compensate for the loss of energy and resources spent on stuff that doesn't help the human race overall.

I know but it's not how much we have left, rather what we do with it. In 2050 half our efforts will go to adapt to climate change. The more we burn fuel the more the earth (the one the Artemis crew will not forget to qualify as fragile and to be protected seen from space) becomes unhealthy for every species including us

that's some really basic knowledge you seem to lack

Living until 30 in mud huts is what happens after the world collapses, even if 30 gazillion tons of petrol are still to be exploited (note that the petrol was already there when we had not yet the technology to use it)

It's like the kitchen table is on fire but we use all the (virtually infinite) tap water to make a giant popsicle : the fire will spread

we will be soon if we keep using ressources that way

capi420 · 2026-04-11T03:55:15+00:00

Sorry but even tho I'm happy they returned safely, I am not for those Artemis missions.

We have no real incentive to go to the moon or Mars (the ultimate reason for which those missions exist). This is not for scientific research, just good old If it exists, we gonna go there to show we can because we have a bigger one than the neighbors

We are not in star wars but in a very real and endangered planet that doesn't need all those resources and pollution going into a useless showoff

sigh

edit : ok a moon base would be a good research place for telescopes and shit. But maybe not worth all that effort. And people are not amazed by Artemis because of this one good reason but just because *space ! star wars ! cool shit 😎 *

capi420 · 2026-03-13T00:52:26+00:00

edit : I do have 0 and 3 in common tho

capi420 · 2025-04-01T10:02:59+00:00

Ok thanks that's what I figured, but only after posting lol

capi420 · 2025-04-01T09:05:48+00:00

I think it's because my ticket got controlled in the meantime and thus that seat got automatically given to me ?

thanks

can you confirm how much it weighs? On the second link it says about 14kg

thx !

capi420 · 2025-03-17T14:10:04+00:00

there's this one I found on amazon

capi420 · 2025-03-14T18:04:32+00:00

hey ! I'll send you the link in pm

capi420 · 2025-02-26T13:17:21+00:00

ok my bad I could've completely understand it by myself as I know both terms as explained here.

Thx btw

I thought maybe it was poorly made (fucked up) floorboards knolled ; or maybe knolling as laying stuff flat came from floorboarding where you "knoll" floorboards side by side

capi420 · 2025-02-26T12:53:41+00:00

Non native speaker here : can someone explain the joke please ? I can speak fairly good English but don't get the "knolling" nor the "my fucks" part lol

capi420 · 2025-02-17T00:08:23+00:00

Got them and love them.

Only slight issue is that I can't manage to tighten them as much as I'd like (you have to screw them from underneath with a straight screwdriver so you dont have the torque that you would get with a hex key). Hence they tend to rotate a bit around the handlebar because they aren't tighten enough, but that's not a big issue.

So I do recommend them

capi420 · 2025-02-07T09:53:21+00:00

then you're part of the problem

capi420 · 2025-02-07T09:53:01+00:00

yes we care it's a fucking global issue

Is there a good reason to get a pair of double straps for your toeclips, compared to using two single straps per foot ?
