Not answering your question exactly, but finding community (non-commercial) radio shows in your local area that you like is a good way to find new music. Find a few shows/presenters that play music/genres you like and they should play local artists that you might not have heard. They’ll also mention upcoming gigs etc.
I’m right there with ya. I’m thinking it might be a case of picking easy pieces (projects) of the puzzle to start with and then building from there. Like I’m considering setting a pi-hole soon - seems like an easier networking project. But yeah, I’m not really sure what’s the best order of eaiest to hardest projects in terms of self hosting etc.
Cornball was the Pangram in the NYT spelling bee the other day. This was my first thought.
Awesome to hear!
Mechanical speedo mod sounds like a good idea. The screen on the Fonz was also tough to read in sunlight.
That acceleration saftey factor is defs a big one for me - though i would have thought most Emotos would be great for sub-50km/h filtering. I’m more concerned about highways, when a truck decides to merge into me.
Yeah, Zero have been a bit messy lately. I got given a contact for a guy that has something to do with repairing them 😅 so I need to follow up on that.
I have a spreadsheet to compare bikes and the Braaaps value/specs for money is very appealing, but yeah I get sketched out by the company a bit haha.
I also realised that the chain guard may be there purely to comply with ADR laws - so may be dumb laws, not design.
Yeah, people can be legends. Once had a family invite me for a cooked breaky while I was solo moto camping on the cheap. Super nice.
Apart from useless chain guards, how do you like the Braaap Emoto? Which model? I’m hoping to make the switch to electric kinda asap~
Test rode the Savic (too $$$) and a Fonz Z series (fun azzz, but a bit lacking). Need to get on a Zero soon and maybe get one 2nd hand.
You can get good 2nd hand cook books for insanely cheap (compared to new) from op shops/thrift. It’s one of a few things that are still decent value on the 2nd hand market.
I went recently! 100% a must see museum.
Oo, ooo! I know this. This is from the Modest Mouse video clip for the song Coyotes. It’s about mankind’s destruction of nature in the face of mankind finding so much beauty in nature.
I was there recently. So many cyclists and cargobikes. It was glorious. Even chanced upon a flashmob with weird and tall-bikes at one point.
This is less to do with single-use plastics, but plastic is often a really good option from a functional POV. It doesn’t conduct heat like metal, it doesn’t break like glass/ceramics and has better moisture resistance than timber. (Not saying plastic couldn’t be replaced a lot of the time, but some times it’s a frustratingly good option).
In terms of complete single-use plastic replacement, I’m not sure, but would also be interested. I’d hope it’s mostly possible.
I mean… just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the expression exists because within the history of every book ever released, there would be some fantastic books with absolute stinkin’ covers.
Yes, covers are there to help you judge a book. But if that was the only metric you used, you would miss out on some good reads.
I’ve got so many large format coffee table books on the topic of minimalism. I find them inspiring and they fill out the space on my bookshelves.
Moths beat themselves to death against the lights, adding their breeze to the summer nights. Some mothy gothy lyricism from Isaac Brock.
That’s definitely one of the more unique methods of finding new music haha
