Can someone recommend a good resource for getting a neglected bike back into riding condition? What tools I need, what sort of parts I should check if they need replacement, so on?
@SirNuke See if there’s a local bike project near you. There’s one near me that accepts donated bikes and refurbishes and sells them for fairly cheap or uses them for parts. They have all kinds of tools and workspace that you can use to work on your own stuff.

Trying to convince my scientist wife to join Mastodon... her current objection is that she uses birdsite/Xbird to follow weather updates... anyone know if there's a weather tracking service on Masto? Would have to cover Denver metro.

I want that on a T-shirt. No, I NEED that on a T-shirt!
ETA: Apparently it was a parody account that said the stairs line. I still want it on a T-shirt.
@ZILtoid1991 Next time you get a notification, long press on it and it will open app options. You can update your notification settings there -- turn them off, turn some off, change the sound, etc.
@TechConnectify I think it looks weird but actually makes more sense, because it flows the way you say it: two-hundred dollars, not dollars two-hundred. It also follows the same logic of 200%.
