Haha, I've been using old.lemmy.world for so long I'd forgotten I even had the Space Needle profile on my account. Was truly puzzled for a minute.

"How do they know I'm in Seattle? Oh, yeah."

You can predict the outcome of this court's decisions with two questions:
A: Will it cause chaos?

B: Is it cruel?

They seem to feel it's bonus points if the answer to both is yes.

On the off chance you're unaware, this song is referencing an old standard, "Don't Fence Me In."

Here's Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters covering it around 1945. Love the melodic link to the original he incorporated.

Man, she's cuckoo for crazy puffs. She needs serious mental help.

Thanks! You can’t hear it, but I squee like a little kid in my head every time someone says they like it.

Because that’s what this bike is designed for as a low-trail bike. It’s biased to handle weight on the front. Even fully loaded with two panniers it handles completely neutral. It’s almost unnerving how normal it feels. More stability climbing passes too is also nice bonus.

I’ve toured with both this and a more standard four pannier setup and this one is far better, IMO.

Haha no. Just a rider with very particular tastes.

A Crust Ramanceür. Built it out as my commuter/touring bike.

Bike’s a bit dirty, but that’s inevitable when you commute in our rainy winters.

This really rises to one of 2023's oddest stories. I mean, I don't even have a square for "Indian-Canadian Cold War" on my 2023 bingo card.
