I'm not sure at all (and don't really care) but I've never seen a rip create a pair of balls like that. One distended one, maybe, but that's a shop or slop

(now that could be a fin community - like prayer or slayer was)

Thanks for using/posting dark mode

Institute invents biodegradable filter to purify dye wastewater in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world
[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

I know nothing about Abby of this but it just sounds far too good to be true.

Cheap, reusable, green / a biodegradable filter, doesn't need great amounts of energy...

What happens of we stick it on fascists?

Damn, that's cold (although probably unintentional?)

This is why we should move the horb somewhere and have great big spikes on the steering wheel - the danger should have never been outsourced to others.

I get, i know it'll never take off, but the current madness of 2T shockers is indefensible to me

Touché. I never quite got into Kendrick but gather he's one of a kind

Can it take months to get over being laid off? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I always used to find the first month in a new job tiring just from the stimulation...

Why can't we have CNAMEs for PTRs? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Silly question: Having CNAMEs for A records just makes sense, but why can't we have a PTR redirect?

How to best investigate what may be a bent derailleur (sh.itjust.works)
 

Riding into work yesterday, somehow while upshifting my chain slipped off the smallest cog onto the frame and hopped off the jockey wheel in the derailleur - all very drastic, but it suggests to me the derailleur twisted?

Historically getting down out of the 9th or 10th gear would need 'a little extra thumb' past the shifters click, that now seems to be the case for the top few gears - but the rest of the 11 speed cluster works great still

Does this sound more like I've worn the cogs somehow or twisted / bent the derailleur?

If it was bent, I thought it would affect all shifting...

It's a shimano HG 11 speed with their reasonably recent chain that's supposed to be really long lasting (possibly intended for e bikes? Mines an old analog, mojo geometron)

I should really double check what the parts are (being a Muppet), and get a photo of the alignment, but I'd love to be able to something on my own before wheeling it into the LBS

Has anyone got anything similar to Épiphanies exceptional L'aube? (sh.itjust.works)

This is a phenomenal (but short) album, has anyone got other equivalent they're sleeping on?

bandcamp

It's very proggy, which I love, but also very heavy. Super-tasteful use (sparse!) of blast beats, etc

A sign for cyclists indicating to perform a hook turn with graffiti "abolish all forms of government"

Dunno why, it just seemed funny

how does Act have so many list MPs? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I just skimmed through the leaflets and realized they got almost as many as lab/nat.

Who do they think they're fooling?

so sky city might be losing it's licence... (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

I'm delighted about the chance of this even happening. I'm under no illusions, however after the abortive duopoly review of our supermarkets. But this isn't comcom and had a clearer harm to the community, so maybe it'll happen?

God, I'd love to see it revoked entirely, but maybe there'll be some clearer oversight...

The company said it had invested significantly in systems to maintain the highest standards of host responsibility best practice, and prioritised minimising the impacts associated with problem gambling.

As. If.

So the Shelly Bay fustercluck is over? (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...

Thoughts?

A noob getting started with open rct2 (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've been starting to play around with rct2 and am amazed at some of the dense examples I've seen - this game is really deep!

I'm still using the premade rollercoasters (honestly, just getting the pathing right for them is complex enough!!) and am really struggling to get the ramps to connect without massive amounts of stuffing around. I've only just realised with the elevated ones I can have the path coming off them remaining elevated which tends to help with the pathway / track collisions, but I'm not even sure how I did it!

I hate sitting through mindnumbing YouTube videos as typically they're completely uninsightful (rct2 might be a different situation, I suppose, especially being a beginner), I feel like jumping in and learning as I went might've been a mistake...

Are there some tips I'm missing and how the hell am I supposed to see the entrances and plan the paths without buying the coaster and hoping it going to work? (I've rebought the same thing several times when I can't get it working!)

Cheers

what is the best way to drop out a threaded screw? (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I've got some rusty old floor screws that I can't loosen with a Phillips head (they're old, so I'm betting it's not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all.

If I drill them out, I know I'm in for a hard time but am I better off going for a really fast rotation or slower?

And should I start with a narrow drill bit and work my way up (historically I've broken a few doing this in the past) or just begin at the intended diameter?

Yes, in fact I do work with computers - isn't it obvious?
