Nice! I hope that it works out well for you! Mine is still holding up beautifully

Both are insulation foam painted to look like wood. That worked great for the sign, but the post was actually not quite sturdy enough, and broke not long after this photo. Fortunately I was able to set aside the broken bit and just be somewhat more careful with the shorter post, and then I remade the post with a metal core to give it some extra strength and rigidity

Where do we get an invite to this discord server?

I’ve been using the beta for a while and there’s a lot of great stuff in this one!

Hyperbole and other superlatives are very common forms of lying, because “everyone” knows that it isn’t literally true, so if you call it out you look like a pedant, but it still has a greater emotional impact than an honest representation of the situation, so it’s a lie that gives the desired outcome of painting your picture without the risk of reputational damage if you are caught in the lie

We’ve so far only used this setup for getting to/from the airport, not actual touring, so we just store it wherever we’re staying. The second case strapped on top is kind if cumbersome, if we were going to get into bike/plane touring I’d probably want a second Cyclone

The price of housing

Reddit has twice in the past (2017 and 2022, I believe April 1 both times) made r/place - an open canvas where anyone with an account could place a single pixel in a color of their choice every 5 minutes. It’s a fascinating social experiment, and was a lot of fun seeing images emerge, and communities spring up around coordinating efforts to make their mark. Doing it again at a somewhat random time only a year after last time is clearly an attempt to distract from the multiple reasons people are currently upset with Reddit, and it also clearly isn’t working, judging by the general tenor of anti-spez (Reddit CEO’s username) sentiment

Yeah, I’ve definitely wished for that, it’s a pain to carry around since it’s both heavy and awkward. There is actually already a pair of axle holes on the back - you can put the wheels there instead of the center for pulling the trailer by hand, but you can’t do that if the wheels are packed away. You might be able to jerry rig inline skate wheels with the same axle without waiting for a new version, but I haven’t gotten around to trying that.

I just made a new post with an Imgur link with photos from a trip by Brompton we did, https://lemmy.world/post/1733017 is the Lemmy.world link, I’m not sure if there’s a cleaner way to link to individual posts currently

Data privacy isn’t to protect you from getting caught doing wrong things, it’s to prevent malicious actors from having the information to manipulate you. You don’t want phishers to have access to your life details that security questions ask about, even if each one is nothing to hide. You don’t want scammers to know where you went to school, who your teachers were, and what clubs you were in to build up a convincing backstory for their facade. You don’t want someone who wants to get something out of you to know who is important to you and threaten or impersonate them. It’s not about having something to hide, it’s about hiding personal details from those with malicious intent

The blood drive is something I make time for each year as well. I haven’t seen the telescopes, I’ll have to keep an eye out this year!

I’d be shocked if they hadn’t heard that before

I think your final statement is backwards. The world was car-free not very long ago in the grand scheme of things. We’ve never been fully vegan. I agree we should eat fewer animal products as well as driving less, but just because it was easier for you doesn’t mean it’ll be easier for society at large.

I had similar issues and deleting and re-adding my accounts fixed it

Is that available in the browser but not the app? If it isn’t in the browser I’d guess the lemmy servers don’t expose it via the API yet

I have the Dremel LC40, and it’s served me well, but there are better options available now and Dremel has stopped manufacturing them

Yes! Though I’ve foil stamped something there instead for the similar ones I’ve made as gifts since

They did end up replying to the message, so I’m now a co-mod on the space

It’s the Radical Design Cyclone IV Chubby. It isn’t cheap, but I love it! I’ve used it to bike to/from the airport, and then the wheels come off and I can put them and my Brompton inside and check it. I’ll post more pictures of that at some point when I can dig them up and if I remember I’ll comment a link here
