NASA-inspired airless bicycle tires are now available for purchase
Reply in thread
I’m hoping they actually make it to production and they’re a fantastic replacement to pneumatic tires.
BUT, it’s a Kickstarter, with estimated delivery almost a year from now. I’m withholding my excitement until they’re actually in use by regular people in the real world

do you also spend a lot less time on Lemmy compared to Reddit?
Reply in thread
And actual content or discussions I want to engage with. Plenty of memes here, but if I want to talk about any hobbies that aren’t Linux or video games, there just isn’t much here (yet).
So for better and worse, I also spend less time on lemmy than I did on reddit

The only time google gets me better results than DDG now is if I have a really vague question, like “movie where the guy wears a trash bag on his leg and has a piña colada on the train to Milwaukee”

Yeah I eventually snuck back to the bathroom and cleaned up and put my shitty tighty whiteys in the bathroom trash. I assume his mom knew. Maybe she couldn’t figure out how to address it gently, maybe she just wanted to fuck with me lol

I use a Safari extension called Purify. It’s in the App Store. Works pretty well for me.

Just my opinion, but I’m ok with reposts, at least until the original content here picks up.
And a waiting period seems like a good idea. Maybe 7 days is enough? 14 days works too.
