This is why we do not pre-order.

In hell you have to use a TV remote while checking the password manager app on your phone to input 32 random characters, many of which are numbers and symbols that don't appear on the main keyboard, and there's no button to unhide what you've typed so you can never get it correct on the first attempt.

It seems hit or miss. Most of my vinyl is 180 gram, I guess because it isn't the primary means of consumption for music these days, people expect to pay a little more for better quality. But I definitely have a lot of cheaper, thinner records that I bought brand new in the last few years.

Specifically, any one party shouldn't be able to take advantage of a momentary shift in power due to an assassination of a member in the other party.

Many Avro engineers went south to work at NASA for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs.

Had Avro Canada not folded and we didn't have the brain drain to the US, who knows what kind of aerospace powerhouse we would be right now.

Trying to get across any intersection diagonally on foot is super annoying when you need to wait for the signal in both directions.

Do you guys remember driving down the highway in the 90's and having your car absolutely covered in the mangled corpses of insects? To the point where wiper fluid is called bug wash?

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but my car stays pretty clean these days.

Whenever my mother is coming over I suddenly find the motivation to panic-clean and then she gets here and says "how can you live like this" and grabs the broom.

Tire bead (lemmy.ca)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca to c/bikewrench@lemmy.world
 

This is a Schwalbe studded winter tire I bought a few months ago, and I'm not sure what exactly I did to get it like this but for some reason the bead seems to be warped or stretched. It doesn't want to fit my rims. There's a small section of the tire that's popped out of the rim, and when I try to lever it back into place the bead pulls out further down.

I've tried this tire on two different rims with the same results, and to make doubly sure it isn't the rims I put on one of my old Schwalbe Marathon tires which fit perfectly. Both tires are 40-635 700b.

Is this repairable? I don't have much experience dealing with tires but I find it unusual that this tire seemed to be fine until now when I changed out the wheel.

 

iam8bit is coming out with a new Collector's Edition as well as the Echoes of the Eye soundtrack on vinyl. Pre-orders start on February 29th.

 

I counted conservatively just shy of 50 of these little guys on an hour long walk.

 

When my stubble grows in, I just have to play with it. When I shave it off, I just have to feel how smooth it is.

It's maddening and I recognize that people must think I look ridiculous with my hand always stroking my chin.

 

When getting an android system notification for a new comment reply, tapping the notification slide takes me to the Mentions tab of the inbox instead of to the Replies tab.

Not sure if this is intended behaviour but seems like a bug.

Thanks for the hard work!
