Amuletta@lemmy.caOPto Offbeat@lemmy.ca•Camper's singing leads people to think he needs rescuing0·3 days agoAbsolutely! But it’s reassuring to learn that there is a worse singer than me out there.
The tires, mostly. I had one of the early mountain bikes back in the 80s and kept a wardrobe of tires for it. (This was when there was a lot more choice for 26" wheels). The 1.75" moderately knobby ones were for daily commutes, the smoother 1.375" for weekend camping trips with the touring club, the chunky 2.25" knobbies were for the rare occasions when I actually used it as a mountain bike. On Friday night I would swap over for whatever I planned to do that weekend, then change back on Sunday night. I got to be really fast at tire changes after a while.
Amuletta@lemmy.cato Bluesky@lemmy.world•"More bodies = more labour to exploit" - Capitalists1·3 days agoSome are already trying to reverse child labour laws. Why spend money educating poor kids when you can just put them to work?

Fully assembled houses have been popular in rural areas for decades. Whenever I see a fully assembled house trundling down the highway with the wire lift truck in front and the pilot vehicle with the “Wide Load” sign behind it, I wonder why they never use them for new city builds. House movers often work to lift old houses on to new basements in old neighborhoods in Calgary, so they have experience with urban streets.

The choices are limited and too expensive for my budget.
By not buying their produce, mostly.

Amuletta@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry spotted dining together in Montreal19·7 days agoIs this news? They’re both single adults. She’s not on the same level as Barbra Streisand, who dated his dad once, though.
I use a pump sometimes, but the Flextail is a lot faster.
When my better half started having prostate problems, he found that SMP saddles worked best. He ended up with the Glider model on one bike and a Stratos on another.

Does anyone else remember those helmets from the late 80s/ early 90s where they left off the plastic skin and just used the foam with a lycra covering? I still remember seeing Curt Harnett’s shatter all over Glenmore velodrome when he crashed in a sprint race. He sat on the track apron for a moment, brushed the remaining chunks of foam out of his hair, then went looking for another helmet so he could continue in the competition.

The postwar nuclear family where only dad has paid work is a brief 40 year blip in western countries.
