Well shit. After weeks of on-again/off-again building and wrestling with my new drip irrigation system, my repurposed 12v RV pump is starting to burn out. 😭
Any suggestions for durable and affordable continuous-duty water pump? #gardening
The English language does not contains words sufficent to describe the depths of my loathing for the Shimano 105 5500 front derailleur.😡 I feel like the Shimano engineers asked themselves "How unpleasant can we make installing and adjusting a derailleur" and thus the 105 5500 was born. #BikeTooter
If you will forgive me for being earnest for a moment: I am increasingly convinced that the world desperately needs more radical empathy and kindness.
I had a post drafted about gritty anti-heros and snarky main characters in media. But as I edited it, I realized I maybe meant something else.
Everything in our society encourages us to yell, lash out, be sarcastic, etc. Those are certainly understandable reactions to the escalating crises of the 21st Century. But maybe not the solutions?
What would be your ideal all-purpose apocalypse #bicycle? Zombie hordes, supervolcano, nuclear holocaust, earthquake, etc.
I'm thinking definitely rigid steel frame/fork for strength, durability, low maintenance, and ease of repair. Probably accoustic because charging/replacing ebike batteries is a hurdle. After that though, my brain fizzles. Internally geared hub? Belt drive? 90s MTB frame or 80s touring for speed and versatility? Cargo bike for hauling? 🤔
A team of my users consistently struggle with the software I support. Drastically more than any of my other users.
Today I discovered a significant contributor to their struggles. They've been operating with instructions that are over TWO YEARS out of date. The instructions have been updated (and notices sent out) multiple times in that time frame. But fir some reason they've stuck with the copy they saved to their desktop in 2020. 😱😭☠️
Any suggestions for a #foss map/navigation app alternative to #osmand? Far too often I enter an address that it can't/won't find and I'm kind of over it.
