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

Outrageous!

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...

Ay, that's the quote I was grasping for!

I'm only chiming in because I suspect that crashing and burning won't actually help much.

It's too easy for humans to disassociate 'other people', at which point, anything can happen.

Sure, crashing and burning might lead to a better system to work with, but that basically happened to Germany a while back and they seem to be struggling with a fascist rise lately... Seems like constant vigilance might be needed given our insecurities that drive us

Champion! What a great story

Indian cultures would like a word about saving the swastika. I know a few folks who happily have it due to their 'claim of prior art' (or whatever the term is).

Not at all! Maybe consider why spending money on trivial, painful and permanent art isn't helpful when one is likely paid poorly.

I do get caught up in the thinking that people are trying to join a club by looking like a 'type', but that's just my own shallow and judgmental thinking...

Yeah, that's fair.

I can be really judgemental and its something I'm trying to work on because I hate how it becomes a focus on what's around me. Thanks for pointing out another avenue, I guess

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

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

Dunno why, it just seemed funny

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?

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?

I've hidden this 'cos it's a dupe and the other has more accurate conversation

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

'Religious debate' time! Check in with your tire pressure... (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm curious what other folks are doing pressure-wise.

I'm fairly lightweight (70kg, possibly after lunch? With back pack and water, who knows? I usually carry extra tools, etc...), and run 2.6" 27.5/650b tires.

Rear is around 20psi, but it's tubeless so I generally catch it once it's slipped down to 15 or 17 after a few weeks :). I've just realized I'm not even sure what the tire is, but it's a maxxis brand, so probably actually 2.4" wide compared to most other companies - not much clearance on my Intense Recluse

My front is usually about 18psi, on a specialized 2.6" somethingorother (pretty sure it's not a butcher)
