Second the rear break. For some reason people told me to drag the front brake. It never worked for me. Rear brake however, that worked wonders for me
Yeah. Some riding jeans from BMW. Like these
Nice thanks! Like I'd use Google for banking purposes anyway :p
O.o. wasn't a subscription when I had it. I degoogled my phone, and it wouldn't work without play services. Gave it away. I do miss it though
Hillclimbing in Czechia on my T7
Recently did a trip to Czechia and Poland to do the TET. Had a blast! Hope you like it
Hillclimbing in Czechia on the T7
I had sooo much video after this trip, it's taken me forever to edit it. Anyway. Hope you like it! I had a blast making it (up until the edit process)
I just bought the Leatt ADV rally 5.5. Only tested it on one ride so far, but the initial impression is great. I really feel in touch with the seat (I come from riding with some BMW jeans). The clothes feel light and barely there. Can't wait to test them out properly off-road
I used to have it. I was very happy with it. For some reason I'm getting the impression internet doesn't like it
By flawed I mean that there is a hierarchy where power consolidates at the top between a small number of humans. The reason why I call this a flaw is based on three premises:
- My statement above about hierarchy of power consolidation
- Power corrupts
- Humans are inherently self serving. We protect ourselves and our own
As for China; take Hong Kong and or Tiananmen Square. Or something more straight forward; their conflict with Taiwan. They are pushing a narrative that Taiwan belongs to them, even though Taiwan clearly does not belong to them, which then reduces the statement to propaganda and an attempt to reframe what is true
To be clear, I favor communism as an idea. It's just the implementations of the idea historically have been flawed. I don't know anything about communistic subgroups. Take China for example; changing historic events by pushing an alternative "truth" is not focusing on facts. A list of books is a good indicator, but the contents of the books are also relevant
Yeah. Historic communism has the same problem as capitalism. People in unchecked power at the top. Doesn't matter what ideology we follow if we refuse to fix root problems.
It's also a problem that people love to gather around either worshipping or hating a certain individual, party or political direction. I wish people would focus more on the politics beneath, facts, statistics and causality
Definitely. Downsizing is probably a good idea for me as well, but I've already proclaimed her my forever bike, so that ship has sailed
Wow, thanks man. Yeah, sand was hard. Largely due to inexperience, but yeah. My mate fell a gazillion times in the sand :D
A small taste of TET Latvia - YouTube
Me and a friend went to Latvia to do the TET. I kept having to adjust my GoPro mount and ended up giving up on recording. I tried however to make a small video with the little recording I got.
Gotta say, the little TET we got to do there was awesome. I remember thinking "the route must be wrong. There's no way there's a road on that side of the T-intersectio- oh there it is". Wasn't able to record it, but gee. Prepare for mud if it's been any rain
Such a frustrating and extremely satisfying situation :D
Had to change my chain after 50k km of lousy maintenance. After that I realized I'd rather just replace it every 50k than to spend too much time maintaining it
Thanks! Not Pol Tarres, but it's still great fun
Why can't the workers get paid a living wage, while the rest is invested into the company or community to also benefit the workers? If a new employee is needed, the money can come from there
Riding around in a nearby forest on my T7. Still snow to be found
In the name of more content on Lemmy, I present to you some riding. I apologize for the YouTube platform, I haven't found a viable PeerTube instance yet
https://meet.jit.si/ was a contender during the covid era
Just wanted to say: react now. Their actions will slowly get normalized and it will be a much harder fight once culture starts working against you
For note taking my current, longest and most successful setup is:
- Syncing on all relevant devices (including a remote synching server running)
- Neovim with vimwiki on computers
- Obsidian on my phone
I made my own using wofi, https://github.com/deifyed/dotfiles/blob/main/dot_local%2Fbin%2Fexecutable_emoji_prompt
Doesn't auto insert though, but puts it in the clipboard. Paste as many times as you need. If you figure out how to get it to insert into the focused application, do let me know 😁
