Did you read the whole thread? It was more than just saying “I’m skeptical” with well reasoned and sourced data correlating ERAS region preference signaling

Thought maybe Lemmy would be a return to og Reddit style discussion rather than brigading downvotes as per the last few years…but nah

I use Merkur shaver with Cremo cream. Here's my process:

turn faucet on until hot water running. Wet face. Apply cream. Shave. Rinse and dry

It literally isn't different from shaving with a cartridge except a better shave, more pleasant, and cheaper. OK, it probably takes 10 seconds extra to change the blade vs popping cartridge, but that's it

I shaved with an electric for a couple years, bad shaves and bad skin

what's the problem? Happy to help if I can

these days it's pretty easy to just pick one and go, but you can still run into issues, and for people new to linux it can be frustruating for sure. When I started using linux, I didn't even really know what a terminal was, so a lot of the stuff I would read on forums etc (it was a long time ago) I couldn't even put into practice. I once got insulted for asking a dumb question with both RTFM and PEBCAC but didn't even know I had been insulted. Just kept plugging away and eventually got it going. I think PCLinuxOS was the first distro I ran seriously as a "daily driver" and I think that stuck because the community on the forums was the friendliest

Rebecca Black here, though now that Wayland is everywhere, should switch

Sabayon linux. Like Gentoo but without the compiling. shit was always broken. Though the guy who made it had a good sense of humor and was very enthusiastic

Sidux/aptosid: great distro, absolutely worst community

I'm gonna rip the process out of memory and piss into your dead inodes! You fucked with the wrong sysadmin!

 

Suria to Arinsal, 158k, MTP finish

 

TTT in the rain and dark

 

Let's keep spoilers at least out of post titles for 24 hours after the race finishes!

 

Punchy stage. No spoilers, but good racing!

 

WTF? Protest is one thing, but this endangers rider safety!

There's some sentiment to make this sub text only to leave c/bicycling as the image community. Since I can't figure out how to make a poll, I'll make two reply posts, one "yes", one "no". Upvote the one you prefer. Deadline 1800 EST July 4

Edit: the "no's" have it, not looking like it's going to be much of a problem though...

 

What's your philosophy on a commuter? Cheap beater? Superbike? Steel? Flat bar or drop? Fixie/SS or Geared? Panniers or backpack?
Obviously, a lot of this depends on situation: length of commute, weather, safety of bike parking, etc

For me, I used to have a longer (7 km) commute with a pretty steep climb (on the way home, topped out at 20% grade for a short stretch) so I got used to drop bar, Frankenbike drive train with road shifters, 1x up front, and MTB derailleur (which was much more frankenbike when I put it together, now you can get drivetrains that are designed for this). Then I moved, sold that bike and on my new commute got a Surly Straggler for what is now a 4km commute with only a little elevation change. It's honestly way too nice for its use case, but now I'm spoiled.
What I really wanted was a Cross Check with bar-end friction shifters, but one thing led to another

 

There seems to be at least some enthusiasm to keeping the community open, and I guess with the increase in number of lemmy.world members, it makes some sense.

That said, I don't really have the time to mod if it gets any busier, so looking for others who would like to step in

Close community? (lemmy.world)

I started this early in the recent popularity of reddit alternatives, as I didn’t see any other cycling communities. I don’t really want (or have time) to be a mod, and it seems there are other more active cycling communities

I’ll give it a couple of days, but if there’s not strong sentiment to keep a separate community here on lemmy.world, I’ll close it down

edit: staying open, though we'll see if activity picks up

 

I started this early in the recent popularity of reddit alternatives, as I didn't see any other bikecommuting communities. I don't really want (or have time) to be a mod, and it seems a more active community has popped up on lemmy.ml/c/bikecommuting

I'll give it a couple of days, but if there's not strong sentiment to keep a separate community here on lemmy.world, I'll close it down

 

I created this early in the reddit brouhaha. Even though it's not very active, it seems to be the most active of fediverse pro cycling communities. I don't really want to be a mod (and so far, haven't had to do anything) so am open to anyone who would like to help/take over

 

JFC, hope he pulls through ok. If you need to be rescuscitated it's a BFD, and nothing is guaranteed. One of my favorite young riders
