I did a winter project with a friend, rebuilding an original Trident rolling basket. He had always wanted one. I have never hated any motorcycle as much as that one. We finish it, the snow melts, it runs great, sounds awesome, rides like shit, he loved it anyway. It lasted a full 11 days before it sheared a wristpin and launched a piston through the head.

Torque wrenches take length into account in the calibration…

The politics on this are pretty crazy.

‘We’re trying to keep your babies healthy, and your mothers alive’

‘So you’re admitting it’s CIA mind control and killing the bees?’

Why does chairman Xi look like Winnie the Pooh? Are they related?

Xi Jinping and Winnie the Pooh do not share any relation. The comparison between the two is a meme that originated from internet users who found a superficial resemblance between the two. It’s important to note that such comparisons are often made humorously and should not be taken seriously or literally.

Would you like to know more about Xi Jinping or Winnie the Pooh?

I’m sure they’ll be held fully accountable and all those photos will be deleted from the internet…

Like the other comment said.

This is a meme because they just got Hacked

The usual corpo fuckery, including

Some included images of women holding photo identification for verification purposes, which Tea’s own privacy policy promises are “deleted immediately” after authentication.

Good, this bullshit has never made a compelling argument

In its defence, Google argued that since it was not based in Uganda and had no physical presence in the country, it was not obliged to register with the PDPO, and the rules on cross-border transfers of personal data did not apply to it. However, the regulator rejected this argument, determining that Google is a local data controller since it collects data from users in Uganda and decides how that data is processed.

By 10am on Friday, data suggested an extra 66,000 internet users in the UK had begun using the dark web.

“People should be aware that children and adults who use [certain software] to bypass age checks will not benefit from the wider protections offered by our online safety rules.”

It’s only in the beta v16.28.59.sa.arm64 and only from the launcher

I put that Chrome extension that changes every reference to ‘Trump’ in articles and headlines to ‘someone with tiny hands’ on my Trump supporting bosses computer. Annoyed the hell out of him for weeks then I deleted it. He never figured it out.

Remember to use strong passwords people. It’s 2025 bro, who uses their fucking dogs name as a password?

Yes, it was in vitro. Still interesting, and I would imagine will lead to further study.

As I said in the other comment the sugar alcohols are generally benign, I had not read anything to the contrary before.

Read the study abstract in one of the other comments here, it’s based on a single serving of soda. Seems kinda bad, which is interesting because the sugar alcohols are generally benign. They’re non nutritive but most don’t cause any problems except stomach upset in some people. I find they have an off taste, many people do not though.

Edit: can brewing yeasts feed on it? Or are you using it to adjust sweetness level? My brewing experience is limited, I have only used wild yeasts and a few of the Safale strains

Newsweek isn’t great. It’s a sugar alcohol, Erythritol

It is in fact Rand, and TIL .za is the TLD for South Africa

You already don’t have a good vibe from him, and life goals sound incompatible. If he made one sexual innuendo and you didn’t respond to it, then he continued doing so he doesn’t respect your boundaries.
