Basically title, this symbol is on the tires of my new (to me) CAAD12. Are the tires on backwards? The right side of the picture is the front of the bike, the left side is the rear. This is the front tire. Another picture below showing which way the tread is facing. The tread "looks" right, it appears it would channel water away from the center correctly.

My state of residence restricts access to certain sites. It's all bullshit.

Anyway... The ISP is either a common carrier or a content provider. Pick a fucking lane. You can't have half and half. Either you are responsible for ALL content provided or NONE.

If you choose none then you MUST NOT restrict access to any content.

If you chose ALL then you may restrict content based on what you are willing to take responsibility for. But in that case if someone does something illegal with content you provided you are liable.

I got the when travelling abroad for work in Morocco. I paid about 20 USD for them from a street vendor.

I had a review recently where I expressed my frustration at excessive work and unreasonable or un-communicated deadlines, and my boss basically took the stance that how was he supposed to know I was overloaded if I wasn't working a bunch of overtime?

Like, dude, that's NOT going to happen. I can be overloaded AF but I'm still leaving at 4.

We talked in circles about this for about 30 minutes and I don't think he understood or simply refused to understand.

Whatever.

The star wars universe is intentionally "post-apocalyptic" "star-punk". The star trek universe is post scarcity utopia. Hmmm. I wonder which one has better tech?

Basically title: What is the preferred or most efficient way of cleaning light colored key caps?

I'm guessing that putting the whole keyboard in the dishwasher is probably out.

Do you all just pull all the keys and clean them with a towel or something in a mild soap solution?

This would give me a good chance to be disgusted by all the hair and junk that accumulates between the keys too, so there's that.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the newbie question, but someone's gotta ask them.

They’d rather feel powerful over others at their own expense?

Yes. Was there ever a question? This is the conservative ideology.

Mine has got to be the Wydra Boat mod. But mainly because it's fairly broken as is. I spent so much time tinkering with it to get it working better but now it'll do around 40mph on flat water.

I changed the way the prop works so it doesn't stall every time you switch from D to R, I gave it a Neutral gear, I tweaked the values in the "torque converter" to get it to behave more like a real outboard motor would, and I slapped on a turbo for MOAR POWARRRR.

I also shrunk the size of the outriggers (flexbody and JBeam) since they were creating too much drag and slowing me down.

Future ideas? Add the main engine back in and attach the outboard with the trailer hitch slot allowing amphibious travel.

Anyway what are your favorite mods?

Sorry, but IMO, None of your ideas will work.

angle grinder: The gear ratio is probably around 4:1 or more so you'd either be turning the knob forever or it would be very difficult to turn

Wood gears: Much harder than you think, but not impossible with the right tools, but I'm assuming you don't have them. If you are determined you can go check out https://woodgears.ca/ however, he has some templates you can print out and cut out.

Bicycle cassette: Those are sprockets not gears. They would be quite clunky and difficult to use as gears.

The best thing to do would be to simply relocate the valve. With some sharkbite fittings and some copper pipe and a Pipe Cutter you could easily relocate the valve, and there would be less work than trying to fit in a cobbled together right angle gearbox.

Hey all, so this is the biggest thing I've tried to print. I'm using PETG. I'm getting a lot of repetitive bands of underextrusion that seem to stack up and get worse as the print progresses.

What do you think is causing this? Is this just an inherent thing in the way an Ender 3 works by moving the bed?

Is it possible to have Lemmy only refresh posts when asked? Currently if you sort by "Hot" or "New" it's almost unusable due to the "real time" nature of the website. It would be nice to have maybe a toggle to enable this behavior or maybe have a refresh button at the top / bottom.
