15km/h manual pedalling given you live in an area with at least moderate hills is just fine.

One tip: Check your riding height (seatpost height). Sitting higher will make pedaling easier. Usually I go with a height which I can barely touch both toes on the ground at once.

Oh, my god... Fox News has to keep switching the caption to translate "Weave" into English.

Hepburn makes the most sense to me as someone who uses both English and Japanese.

In Kunreishiki, rules like:

Long vowels are indicated by a circumflex accent: long o is written ô.

make no sense to me.

As an example, there are many possible variations for the famous baseball player 大谷翔平:

  • OHTANI Shohei (I think this is his preference)
  • OOTANI Shouhei
  • ŌTANI Shōhei
  • OTANI Syouhei

Well it was their negligence with the digital system... it's similar if this was a misprint where every cup had "You won a boat"! underneath the rim. Collecting peoples' location data should be worth $27B.

-- Undocumented immigrants are drug traffickers and violent criminals!

-- Any undocumented immigrant committed a crime just by being here! Deport them all!

-- Documented immigrants who espouse un-American views should have their status revoked and be deported!

-->Citizens who were from abroad, if we believe they went through naturalization improperly should be deported! (America is here)

-- Being born here shouldn't mean a free ticket to citizenship!

-- You don't deserve to have a US citizenship if you aren't on Team America!!!

I am very disappointed that we are retaliating slowly but conceding quickly. If no deal is reached by the deadline or we get a stupid letter dictating the universal tariff, put the DST back on.

“Demand for affordable, reliable energy is increasing across all aspects of the economy, and the growth in AI will require around-the-clock power driven largely by natural gas,”

Oil lobby now just completely dropping the false pretense of natural gas being a "bidge-fuel". Natural gas now, carbon emissions forever. Fuck our children's future!

Some DACs have Windows only official drivers...

I have an Akai EIE Pro that I have not been able to use, though it seems there are experimental user made Linux Drivers I have not tried to compile yet.

 

Just put it on the side streets - Doug Ford's gaslighting compromise might work in some cities like Montreal and Vancouver but aren't well suited for Toronto and its suburbs.

 

Mmmm. Roasted ham.

If you want a concise and accessible set of reasons on why a Trump/Republican presidency would be bad for the US, to help explain important issues to friends and family without sounding like a conspiracy theorist or a political savant, this resource may help.

Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign. Maybe we can get some clarity from our government on what our rights as consumers are when buying access to video games.

Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.

 

L'enquête par ISDE Canada sera ouverte jusqu'au 26 septembre 2024.

Les Canadiens peuvent envoyer leurs commentaires à l’adresse suivante : https://form.simplesurvey.com/f/s/RTR?lang=FR

 

I figured that right to repair is a topic many of us are interested in. The survey below by ISED Canada, a department of the Government of Canada, is open until September 26, 2024.

Canadians can provide their input at the following link: https://ised-isde.survey-sondage.ca/f/s/RTR

 

Video shared from a Mastodon user.

 

Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: I found the post!

Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.

If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.
