I've heard something similar for conspiracy theories also.

NASA is at the same time an agency with enough advanced technology and resources that they were able to fool the entire world for a several-day-long broadcast of a fake moon landing, while also being too feeble and pathetic to have actually gone to the moon.

Sure but you can buy them on amazon for like 20 bucks making them an impulse purchase for people who don't know how they work and aren't interested in doing the research, so then they just assume it's magic and get upset when it doesn't work.

Mobius was able to, not once, but twice in a row deliver a sublime lightning in a bottle experience. I have extremely high hopes for their next title.

Be aware that it does contain chemicals, just like everything else.

The comic is clear. American suburbanites will go vacation in dense walkable European cities with good active transportation infrastructure and then will return home and attend city council meetings objecting to any plan that would bring similar changes to where they live.

The comic is a commentary on NIMBY behavior.

My 40 year old Dutch omafiets. I bought it used two years ago and spent the time swapping and upgrading nearly every component.

You're looking for vector graphics. You could try Asteroids or Lunar Lander.

Aliasing is a byproduct of trying to draw a curved line across square pixels. It's a deficiency of raster graphics, not the fault of the game.

There needs to be enough of the axle showing for the bell crank to bite. What I had to do on my wheel was remove the washers from the axle so the axle nut could be tightened enough and expose more of the axle to the bell crank.

If that makes sense.

I don't own one, but I've heard a lot of older stories about Canon mirrorless cameras overheating.

When was the last time you did a firmware update?

Not that I disagree, but if the Olympic Committee didn't have an issue with Sochi hosting the 2014 winter games then I don't see a scenario where the USA bid is withdrawn.

 

I'm familiar with club level curling where teams aren't necessarily crafted to maximize wins, which is clearly the case at the highest level of play.

My question is how these team decisions are made and who has final say.

Other team sports usually have some organization behind them with ownership and management and coaches that make decisions on the roster, sponsors, training/practice etc. Does this all fall to the skip to delegate or is it more like a democracy? Maybe each team handles decisions differently?

I was just musing on the Ship of Theseus while watching the World Women's and it got me thinking about replacing each player one at a time until the entire team is different, at what point it becomes a new team.

 

Even though Kerri Einarson's rink had a tough week, they were able to make it through to the finals. Homan, however, showed us that she is an unstoppable machine and absolutely deserves to wear the maple leaf for another year.

Tire bead (lemmy.ca)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by apprehensively_human to c/[email protected]
 

This is a Schwalbe studded winter tire I bought a few months ago, and I'm not sure what exactly I did to get it like this but for some reason the bead seems to be warped or stretched. It doesn't want to fit my rims. There's a small section of the tire that's popped out of the rim, and when I try to lever it back into place the bead pulls out further down.

I've tried this tire on two different rims with the same results, and to make doubly sure it isn't the rims I put on one of my old Schwalbe Marathon tires which fit perfectly. Both tires are 40-635 700b.

Is this repairable? I don't have much experience dealing with tires but I find it unusual that this tire seemed to be fine until now when I changed out the wheel.

 

iam8bit is coming out with a new Collector's Edition as well as the Echoes of the Eye soundtrack on vinyl. Pre-orders start on February 29th.

 

I counted conservatively just shy of 50 of these little guys on an hour long walk.

 

When my stubble grows in, I just have to play with it. When I shave it off, I just have to feel how smooth it is.

It's maddening and I recognize that people must think I look ridiculous with my hand always stroking my chin.

 

When getting an android system notification for a new comment reply, tapping the notification slide takes me to the Mentions tab of the inbox instead of to the Replies tab.

Not sure if this is intended behaviour but seems like a bug.

Thanks for the hard work!
