I live near a major airport and see commercial planes with huge front headlights shining in the night sky. What could they be good for way up in the sky, though? I get that when they are taking off/landing headlights are necessary. Why not give them lights like a boat, with a green in front and a red in back?

Pic from a fen restoration I help with. Prettiest one I've seen.

Anyone have a method for determining the best stem length and rise? I'm a casual road cyclist and I feel like I have too much weight on my hands, noticable more on longer rides. I kinda feel like it should be an inch (2-3 cm) shorter, but not sure how rise would impact that. How do I go about finding whats right without trying 4 or 5 stems? Any help is appreciated!

I recently went to the Bird's Nest on Altgeld on a rec that they had the best wings in Chicago. Now, I'm no wings connoisseur, but they were pretty great. However, wings are not something I usually order. Anyone else been there for wings, and can you confirm or deny if these are in fact the shit?

I'm not sure if this counts. Pop art from the '90s.

I moved back to gears after riding the last ten years on a single speed. Just greased all bottom bracket parts and crankset with custom lubricant my friend is piloting. A little science experiement!

I tried subbing to the one on Lemmy.world, but nobody's home. Perhaps there is one someone can rec from another instance? Any help is appreciated!

hey, How do I block an instance (not sure if I'm saying that right)? For example, if I don't want to see posts from a certain baseball team or anime thing? It was easy in Jerboa but I can't figure out how to do this in Liftoff.
