I would argue that public transport is up there in the top 5 things government SHOULD be funding, as part of critical infrastructure.
You're from UK that somehow found the funds to enforce "pls don't carry a knife"
What I'm saying is that there's always means to fund reasonable effort if there's interest for it in the government. Hell, UK found the funds to completely fuck the exports and imports to/from EU
Yeah, there's a rumour going around that it's to distinguish Turkey country from turkey bird that I'm meeting about

Turkiye is 🦃, Turkey is 🇹🇷
Oh god I had eyeliner for Halloween costume this year and wtf people why do you do this to yourself.
It's pain in the ass to "install", poking blind into your eyes with a pen, and then the removal is just impossible without like bleaching your eyes
It doesn't require any surveillance state shit? It's literally just a "throw tax money on it" -problem. If public transport is free or at least considerably cheaper than private car, more people will use it, meaning there's more space in cities for pedestrians and cyclists, less pollution, what else. Then sell your carbon offsets to Germany to get back your investment on public transport lmao
Now how can we make public transport more affordable?
First of all, stop using word "expat" when you're talking of immigrants but from "better countries"
When you go and ask Finns "are you content", you'll get "eh, can't complain", because complaining is un-Finnish.
Finnish answers to "how are you?" are hilarious.
- Just ok
- can't complain
- not too shit
- everything said loud enough (pun'ey answer on how "how are you" is worded in Finnish "what are you hearing")
- just the same
- well I guess nothing here
- same shit
and what else there is
Alright but dwarves were mining mithril in Khazad-Dûm, it's unfair to not mention that

Rear suspension troubles
Hey all, do we have any suspension nerds here?
I have some annoying troubles with the rear suspension on my 2017 Focus Vice trail bike. The shock is Rockshox deluxe select R with max tokens inside and 250psi air pressure (~20% sag)
Long story short, I keep bottoming out the rear suspension regularly on jumps and drops way easier than I'm comfortable with, but with the amount of pressure in the shock the ride starts feeling pretty harsh as well
So what I've thought as options, but might need some more validation:
- bigger bike and/or bike with more progressive suspension curve
Eh, don't really want to replace bike I otherwise love
- different shock?
Not sure what I would look there tbh, also gets pricy but not as bad as a whole new bike
- messing with the shock tune
The shock doesn't have externally adjustable high/low speed compression, but perhaps could adjust the shim stack? This is completely alien stuff for me so some ideas/advice would be appreciated
- there's a megneg air can upgrade kit available for the shock
This increases the negative volume giving more mid-strike support, plushier initial feeling and more bottom out force using less tokens as claimed by rockshox. This upgrade kit is not terribly expensive, but is it worth if I'd better be going with a new shock anyways?

My daughter is a stick enthuasiast
Hello fellow lemmings,
I'm glad to have discovered this magnificent sub community, and it made me think of a recent hike with my little spawn. During the rather long for her, 2 hourish and 4000 step hike, she kept collecting sticks from the ground and regularly dropping the least favorite ones to make more space in her little hands.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this story, but just wanted to say hello and I'm glad this community exists. I hope you'll stick around (badum-tss)

A post on Ask Lemmygrad by user Cyber Ghost titled "What are the reasons why Russia attacked Ukraine?"
Below is the comment by user @cfgaussian reading: "The Nazi Kiev regime attacked the ethnically Russian Donbass for eight years intending to commit genocide in their quest for an ethnically pure Ukraine and Russia finally came to their aid after it became clear that the Minsk agreements were never going to be honored. Also, NATO was turning Ukraine into a hyper militarized threat to the integrity and security of Russia itself. Refusal of the US and Europe to negotiate on a new inclusive security framework, refusal to stop NATO expansion eastward, and the relentless and violent anti-Russian psychosis that has gripped Ukraine since the Maiden coup that triggered a civil war in a country in which half or more of the population are essentially Russian became intolerable."
User Summertime Soviet has replied to the comment saying "It's a shame we can't pin comments on posts, because this one would get a pin from me.
so instead, have this Farmer_Heck seal of approval"
