Knobbier tires help. I ride a hybrid bike year round (its my only bike) that has 35mm tires. Last winter was my first winter riding. At first I used the older slicker tires I had, and then ate it at one point taking a turn through some slush. That weekend I bought some knobbier all season tires. They’ve been fantastic.
They also make studded tires that have metal/ceramic studs throughout the tires to grip on ice. From what I’ve heard, they’re not ideal unless you’re constantly riding on solid sheets of ice. Since riding on pavement will wear them down. And you cannot wheel your bike inside with them since it’ll destroy interior flooring
Got any sci-fi / fantasy books you wanna recommend? Love Andy Weir and Fantasy.
Personally in terms of fantasy, first ones I think of are Mistborn. Love that trilogy. Been meaning to read the rest (or at least more of) The Cosmere.
Currently reading the second novel in The Expanse series.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a secure video chat that does not require a phone number?
1·23 days agoGood to know. Thanks for the info. I haven’t jumped yet, since wanna do research. But I agree that that is a yellow flag.

Same goes for restaurant workers. We were at one of our favorite nice restaurants, sitting at the bar. It was busy, so it was slow. That makes sense. It’s 1830 on a Friday. No big deal, we were sitting at the bar, they’re busy. There was this older couple (50-60?) Who were just bitching. Complaining that things were taking longer than they felt they should. Some gems.
- “These steamed buns were terrible”, meanwhile their plates were scraped clean.
- “This bottle of prosecco isn’t good. I’m not paying for it…” While they were 3/4 through it. Then they finished the bottle.
The husband berrated the bartender who (one of three or four) who was busy all night. We’ve had her and she’s lovely. Berated her for service taking too long, and apparently how she had left for a while, and how that was unacceptable. I’m guessing she left to, ya know, eat dinner and take her break.
They were complaining about how bad of an experience it was. But stuck around for 20m after they paid the check…
After they left, another group took their spots, and we overheard them shit talking them multiple times. The bartender looked visibly upset while she was working. Eventually Audrey told her that it was shitty how he treated her. Turns out she was thinking about it all night after (this was 1.5 hours later). We assured her they were just shitty and that we’ve had an amazing time everytime we’ve been there.
Same with “dislodging items”
Hmmm, I loved Heavenly Hash growing up…

I use Authentik to handle the SSO for my self hosted services. However I’m thinking about moving over to LLDAP + Authelia, that way I can fully declaratively set it up in nix

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time?
9·1 month agoThere are a lot of recommendations to work on other SW projects. Be careful with this if there is a clause in your employment agreement (if you have one) regarding any work you do during work hours being owned by them. Especially don’t do it on your work PC.
It’s a reference to her song Running Up That Hill

The song became popular again a few years ago due to its prevalence in Stranger Things Season 4
