I don't know the OC, it was in an FB aggregation group. I could only link to someone else that didn't link to the OC.

Although I'd like to, I don't know how to generate AI art. This was done by someone else, I just thought it was nifty.

It really depends on where you live. For instance, in Western NC, I was completely left to my own devices on the trail systems. local IMBA group asked that I just keep track of my hours so they could add to the volunteer sheet that they turned into the forestry service. I was given the ok to take anything out I wanted; chainsaws, mowers, weedeaters, sickles, etc. In my new area, it's more structured so I joined a FB group for the local club and asked them if I could do maintenance on the trail closest to me. They gave me the go-ahead so I go out to that trail when I want to do work.

I always try to find the most unused trail in the area to work on as I prefer the solitude when being out in the woods.

Fucking little boys is also an absolute evil but that hasn't slowed the Catholic church down any.

 

But what great execution!

The only thing that surprises me is that this fact surprises anyone.

 

It's a buuuus.

If you were able to tighten the headset via topcat without loosening the stem first, the stem may be insufficiently tightened. Be sure to check that as a loose stem can cause the bars to turn without the wheel following suit.

Steps for tightening the headset would be:

  1. Loosen bolts on stem(usually two)
  2. tighten top cap until sufficient tension
  3. center bars over rim
  4. tighten bolts on stem

You'll find that your NSFW troubles can be basically made moot by blocking two instances catering to the critically horny. Although lemmy doesn't nativity allow us to block porn explicitly, there's a workaround.

On the phone, I use connect to block the two problem instances. In the web browser, I use this user script to block them: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances/code

I don't know, it looks like it would make for some good toilet paper.

Trail maintenance. I spent over a decade doing work on neglected trails in western NC. Hours upon hours of hiking, weed eating, sawing, taking, etc. It was more exercise than biking the same trails.

I'm struggling with the loss of the mountain biking I've loved for a long time. I'm trying various changes out to keep some biking in my life. I'm biking more slowly and for diminished distances. Also my wife bought me an emtb that I've been trying out on the trails. Less fatigue means I'm .asking less mistakes while out.

I hope you find an outlet you enjoy. The loss is truly life altering.

That was very helpful, thank you.

It's a little too chaotic to be enjoyable or even understandable for me.
