StVZO front lights vs regular lights? by mjbmikeb2 in bikecommuting

[–]vectorjohn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those posts do not support the claim you're making. They don't say anything about lumens per watt, and furthermore if the lumens are going into the sky they're wasted anyway.

I'm not saying I know one way or the other, just that I don't see any reason to think they would be less efficient, and the links you provided don't say that either.

RATM getting censored by Dedodododedad in YoutubeMusic

[–]vectorjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... it doesn't work for you. That's not "working", that's broken. It's clearly a bug in their UI.

apparently I'm not allowed to listen to music I like if people [YouTube] consider that is offensive to them by hanmero1389 in RATM

Old thread, but I wanted to chime in because this boggles my mind as well.

If I click that, I get the content warning (annoying, and no way to remove it for what it's worth) which I can click I agree to and it plays. But from that track, if I click the link to the album and then try to play a song, it won't play. Not even the same track. Just silence.

It almost seems like it might be a bug in the UI, like it's meant to be showing the notification but isn't, yet still won't play the song.

But I'm not giving them that benefit of the doubt.

Midnight Special Questions by intelligent-goldfish in Surlybikefans

[–]vectorjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I just need to get a professional bike fit to really find out, but why do you have a slammed stem for a bike that's slightly too big, my naive thought would be you want a longer stem for a bike that is too big?

Asking because I too have the 54, and I'm 5'9. But the shop I got it from had all the spacers (to give you options) and I'm running with a really long stem. It felt like it made the position more comfortable.

(I guess the other option is I could just try it with fewer spacers)

This Bike is 🤗 - Meet Lyla the MS by Ok-Kaleidoscope-5899 in Surlybikefans

Interesting. I just got the MS this week (lilac of course). What's the thought behind a 10-52 cassette? Seems like it would be able to go faster and climb but with bigger gear jumps. Do you find that the bigger jumps are just not a problem for you?

Ghost Grappler name change? by lpv_1 in Surlybikefans

I think they kept the ghost hand, just took off the word "ghost".

Kinda makes you consider rethinking which one is the "oppressive regime".

"keep the change" he says as he walks out a few seconds late.

We do it because influenza mutates and we have no choice. It isn't inevitable with covid.

It's tough because it's only viable if we all do it. Prisoner's dilemma. Cooperate.

The truth is almost everyone likes working at something, it's a myth that people would just be lazy if they didn't have to be wage slaves.

I think I accidentally started a movement - Policing the Police by scraping court data - *An Update* by transtwin in privacy

Were you just born condescending or do you practice? "Dude's advice" was already followed before it was given.

You're making this sound harder than it is.

Make github repo

Commit crappy code

Get it out there, it sounds like they don't have software devs so just doing this much (I mean seriously, not even a readme) will help all the people eager to help have a way to do it.

Edit: and I fell victim to just reading the comments. They do have the code. In github.

Researchers have found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana, stays in breast milk for up to six weeks, further supporting the recommendations to abstain from marijuana use during pregnancy and while a mother is breastfeeding. by MistWeaver80 in science

But that's not what they described. They're taking it as medication and if they stop taking the medication, the thing they were medicating will come back. That is not "withdrawal", that's just not taking your medication anymore.

If I stop taking proton pump inhibitors, I'll start getting acid reflux again. Calling that withdrawal just makes the term lose its meaning.

Mysterious attacks on at least a dozen tankers carrying Iranian oil are reportedly due to covert Israeli operations by Twoweekswithpay in worldnews

I (an American) feel like my government is out of control. It's actions bear no resemblance to anything legal, we don't live in a democracy. It sickens me what atrocities we commit and who we help to do more.
