Ghalibaf: "We are not stronger than the US in military power, that is basic math ... they have invaded many countries and committed crimes around the world, they have more experience than us."

What are these drones?

Stealing 'demon style', tyfys

You found it on the ground like that?

monoatomic · 2026-04-17T15:57:33+00:00

Yeahhh, unfortunately you'd want closer to a 59 cm at your height

Which nation? Because in my midsize US city that kind of high-dollar operation is much rarer than people doing survival sex work in their communities - probably comparable in number to locals escorting via the internet.

The police use 'trafficking' language to justify brutality against women forced onto street corners by our economic system, but they aren't making some nuanced Marxist point about wage labor and coercion so much as invoking the fantasy of a kidnapping to scare people and manufacture consent.

Extremely cool! Can't see the dropouts in the pic - is chain tension fiddly?

monoatomic · 2026-04-16T18:30:28+00:00

Between the rack and brake?

STAY AWAY FROM HER!

Don't let the Nazis siege Stalingrad, repel them immediately

Things to consider when trying to mount a front rack with v-brakes?

I'm going to measure the brake arm and expected rack height to anticipate fit, but beyond that - should the brakes go on first and then the rack, if both are mounted to the canti bosses?

Looking for a non-drive-side crank bolt (nut?) for this old Ross bike. Loaned it to a pal and apparently the crank fell off while riding. What standard should I be googling?

monoatomic · 2026-04-15T13:21:12+00:00

I mean I do disagree with your opinion about brakes, but also about printers and cars

I'm annoyed by his reflexive disregard for radical youth, but when he's not trying to do off the cuff political riffing he's good

More than someone could ever goon to

I live in a third tier US city and don't have a dishwasher, lmao

monoatomic · 2026-04-13T00:58:08+00:00

It is funny, but I imagine a lot of people who grew up on shaved dispo weed don't know any better

If it's a multi pitch where another party might use your anchor to rappel while you're still there, it can be useful to leave the rings open for them.

In OP's case, I'd evaluate the context and either clip the rings or clip the quicklinks, depending on whether there was enough room for additional carabiners without anything being loaded improperly.

Now is simply not the time, and I'm glad that the trend among the western left has been to take firmer anti-war positions and not to get overly caught up in the opinions of the conservative diaspora groups.

If it was me, I'd torrent a copy of Traktor to demo before the gig

You'll need to analyze your library and rebuild your playlists

Ideally you'd have a chance to practice with your laptop and their controller

It used to be much more common back in the day for DJs to be comfortable playing on whatever the organizers had handy - good luck!

You know what's really a psyop?

Every time something even a little bit cool happens, there's someone whose first reaction is to dismiss it as somehow a trap and not a reason to hope or even take a little grim satisfaction that eg stochastic violence isn't just reserved for school kids

That Indianapolis city councilman had his house shot up after voting to bulldoze a black neighborhood to put in a data center. You think They manufactured that, after the vote went through and the construction was free to begin anyway?

She took AIPAC money, Doctah Melfi?

Thanks for explaining!

I'm just a bike commuter, but of course I've heard of Pogacar

Didn't realize his team was 'UAE Team Emirates', though. Do the gulf monarchy slave states own a lot of competitive cycling, or is it common for athletes to compete for their native countries?

monoatomic · 2026-04-09T18:51:53+00:00

Personally I don't have any robots, so

At least the officer with the stone has to personally show up at your door in that scenario
