Real question: Is the decay of uranium the only natural way to produce lead? If so TIL.

Nah. Imo, this is him telling oil company that they need to step up and fully fund his requests for money "or else". Didn't he recently ask the oil industry for an insane amount of money at the beginning of his campaign or something?

2024 Suzuki SV650 (lemmy.world)

The 2024 Suzuki SV650 is another upright naked motorcycle in the same engine class as the other posts.

The MSRP on this one is ~$8,000, and the general consensus is that it's a great starter bike.

Those pipes, such a clean design. Still in the upright/naked competition for my next bike. For 2024 I guess they're coming with an e-clutch. With this you still have to shift with your for, but you don't have to pull the clutch.

The riding position looks a little too aggressive, but I still want to sit on one to see how it feels. It does come with a price tag of ~$9,400 MSRP which is on the priceier side of this class.

Anyone have one of these with the e-clutch?

2024 Kawasaki Z650RS

  • Engine: 649cc, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, DOHC
  • Power: 67hp @ 8,000 rpm
  • Torque: 48.5 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
  • Weight: ~412lbs

Does anyone have one? This one is in my top as a contender for my next bike. It's a little pricier with a smaller engine than the XSR700 so not sure which way to choose.

I've been wanting to see more content in this community so I've decided to "be the change"

So instead of ~~praying~~ posting my bike over and over, I'll try to post a featured motorcycle with some quick stats. First up:

2024 Yamaha XSR 700

Engine: 689.6 cc (42.08 cu in) 2-cylinder liquid-cooled four-stroke engine Torque: 689.6 cc (42.08 cu in) 2-cylinder liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, Power: (55 kW (74 hp)) at 9,000 rpm Top speed: 200 km/h (120 mph) Weight: ~186 kg (410 lb)

If you have one, tell us about it. What are your pros and cons?

Personally I hope to get one.

Nah bro. They got blasted with space radiation, and instead of severe malignant tumors and cancer, they got super powers.

It's got all the elements of a proper salad

  1. Sad iceberg lettuce
  2. Small diced white onions
  3. Pickle chips
  4. Brown goop
  5. Red

Seems about right to me.

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 41 points 5 months ago

I just did. 😏

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 75 points 5 months ago

I don't get it.

That's was my exact experience on a pokemon go server. So many channels and conversations that notifications are useless and searching for the information I needed was difficult. Just one giant group chat which is awful for storing needed, retrievable, information imo.

Made me never want to step into discord again.

It's probably because I've commented a couple of times. Usually I have nothing to say, but I've felt rather engaged lately.

Ya. I was originally a Google Play music subscriber which got turned into YouTube music, for $9.99usd. Now they're increasing the cost by like $4 after December. So I moved to the spotify family plan and now I share with my love ones for only a little bit more than the new YT price.

YT music was turning to sit though. It would always play music video audio with long ass shitty intros when the studio album music existed in their catalog. Even with the music video option turned to off.

I play on the easiest mode and that damn whole stealth chain of missions was awful. Hated every moment of it. Forget if you never put points into stealth, then it'd truly be impossible.

Like when you mind control, why do the other NPCs and turrets think they're enemies and start blasting their own homie who's just trying to run to a corner? Also sometimes the social popped up but I couldn't mind control, even as hidden.

Had to blast some NPCs multiple times during those quests just to get out of the chain cuz it was basically impossible do it undetected.

Show me what you got. "Peniships" and all.

What are your preferred skills to put your points into early on that have the biggest impact?

Feel free to break it down by play style: stealth, fighting, exploring, etc.

Someone is really out to get lemmy.world lately.

I feel like with every update there is at least one attack.
