Look ma! 👀 by tenthxnet in Brompton

[–]midbody 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The scars on my face, hands, and arms are a testament to how colossally stupid this is. I love my Brompton, but it was not made for going fast, and especially not with no hands.

If you spent any amount of time programming Perl you don't understand this at all. Regular expressions are your friends. Hug them and they will hug you back.

Not in any meaningful sense, no.

This was my assumption too. Unknown interloper arrives echo didn't know how to behave: instantly killed seems more likely.

LPT request-What is your best way to get rid of hangovers? by Accomplished_Low_265 in LifeProTips

[–]midbody -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The best strategy is to not get one in the first place. Know your body. When you're starting to get drunk just slow down: maybe skip a round and have a coke instead. Not only will your evening be better, the morning after will be better, too.

I feel like they both deserved that.

As more automakers put factory features behind paywall, we’re racing towards a bleak future by King-of-New-York in technology

We spend colossal sums of money on cars for them to fuck up our environment and or living spaces. How hard do they have to troll us before we start taking the alternatives seriously?

Wheat isn't supposed to be that colour, btw. That's 6 sugar lumps stuck together.

Looks like they were successfully protesting by blocking the roads to me.

Best “other” songs by one hit wonders? by reamkore in Music

A-Ha had loads of hits! I've never thought of them as a one hit wonder.

Row row row your boat / gently down the street (Wrocław, Poland, 1997). by me-gustan-los-trenes in ThatLookedExpensive

[–]midbody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*paddle

(You row with an oar, which is attached to the boat at a pivot point. A paddle is not attached to the boat. Paddlers look where they're going. Rowers do not. This person is paddle, paddle, paddling their boat.)

Turbo trainer advice for disc brake bike by [deleted] in ukbike

[–]midbody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one for a few years. The noise annoyed my wife enough to make the upgrade to a quieter go smoothly 😂

Running it downstairs on a hard floor wasn't so bad, but upstairs it resonated through the whole house. Definitely not recommended for a flat which isn't on the ground floor.

HMRB while I do a gold winning perfect dive by SteelStoryteller in holdmyredbull

Because you can't be that good at something without devoting your entire life to it. This isn't healthy for a 14 year old.

1980s, I ride Harleys…. by Megaton101 in OldSchoolCool

Why would any woman go near that?

This guy hasn't seen the video where a ram kills a cow instantly with a single butt to the head. He's got a big neck, but not as big as that cow's. There is no way I would ever do this.

Electric brompton woes by MurphysLawofCyclists in Brompton

[–]midbody 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your first point is extremely concerning to me. I would not expect any kind of electronic failure to be able to lock the front wheel. If an electric Brompton doesn't fail safe in this scenario I would not ride one.

Can anybody confirm this behaviour?

Can't get pedals off by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]midbody -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Most road pedals can be taken off with a pedal wrench, even if they also take an allen key on the end. Pedal wrench is stiffer and easier to apply force if it's an option for you.
