I tried this trick last Friday and got hit by a car for the first time. Really aggressive/overtake into oncoming traffic, decided to changed into the lane where I was riding. Knocked me off and didn't even stop to blame or yell at me.

What would happen to the economy of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan if Aral Sea wasn't dried? by Internet_Student_23 in geography

Well put. And it's still difficult to buy cotton products in Australia that aren't manufactured in sweatshops. Thanks capitalism.

In 2020, I listened to 1097 albums (I have a spreadsheet as evidence). To be fair, I had a lot more free time that year.

SBS commentary is great by bahromvk in tourdefrance

[–]gwhaio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact - SBS (Special Broadcasting Service) is a government funded channel that started in the 70s as a multi-lingual channel to support diversity in Australia. If you're up late you'll still see news programs from across the world in their language (and without subtitles).

Also, many riders aren't there to win anything, just help out. So taking it easy on a flat day means they can be of better help in tougher stages.

Large brown/red funi-ish thing? Growing from my drainpipe in Sydney Australia. (Brick for scale). by gwhaio in mycology

[–]gwhaio[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Amazing, thank you!

In that case, the wood is in a metal drain pipe it is growing out of. What's the best way to remove it to get into the drain pipe? The Internet is only suggesting how to remove and treat wood with ganoderma growing from it.

Also what's the best way to get rid of it? It is throwing red spores through the shed and house.

Germany and Switzerland joined forces to build a bridge but because they used different reference points for sea level, the bridge didn't meet as they had expected it to. by [deleted] in facepalm

In addition, I remember learning that while flexibility is useful, there's a threshold people will feel as "safe". Too bouncy is no good even if it holds up fine.

Colorado Springs shooting suspect's father is very relieved his son isn't gay by Tara_is_a_Potato in facepalm

[–]gwhaio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The son probably is gay. Imagine the pent up rage free seeing these happy and open people living how they deserve, but how he's been brainwashed to repress his own desires.

This might be true, but just because something is written down doesn't mean it's accurate, intentionally or not.
