So I take it you’re not into adrenaline-inducing activities?
I only wish I wasn’t. Like literally an hour ago I changed a dressing on my elbow because of the operation to remove the junk from it after the first operation, and I’m sitting here with my sides hurting from the crashes I had last year on my ebike.
Although to be fair had I had an actual motorbike, I wouldn’t have been drunk on it, so I’d have spared my ribs.
Dasus@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Colorado is considering a bill that would allow people to drive adorable Japanese tiny-trucks on most of the state’s roads. US car manufacturers are fighting against the bill. English2·3 days agoThat reminds me of a time when a girl I had as a passenger on my 125cc bike as a 16 year old. I was going downhill, behind a full semi. I was annoyed at how slow they are. I started passing on the downhill. Unfortunately, after the downhill, there’s a small bend with trees and you can’t see behind it.
So after I had started accelerating (125cc’s with 2 people aren’t that powerful although mine was the 2nd fastest in town) I saw another full semi coming towards us.
I had to make a split-second decision. To either brake, which would’ve been dangerous, because I would’ve needed to brake so hard as to almost lose control, or, hit it, and hope we make it.
I decided on the latter. We made it so that if she had had he arms spread out, she could’ve prolly touched the mirrors of both those semis at the same time.
When we got to the town centre, some 1.5km after that, she jumped off and started beating me silly.
Ah, adrenaline, how I miss you so.

A nomenclator referred to a slave whose duty was to recall the names of persons his master met during a political campaign. Later, the scope was expanded to include names of people in any social context and also other socially important information about them.

Why not? Because everyone else is in a truck so large they wouldn’t be able to see you?
Not a problem here in Europe. Wiki says they can do 120 ungoverned. Seems fine enough. Large commercial trucks, as in “semis” to Americans, but even the smaller Large Heavy Goods vehicles, as in lorries in Britain, aren’t allowed to do more than 80km/h on the freeway. I’m sure the Kei trucks can do that even when encumbered.

So the American car market clearly doesn’t require safety, it’s just a marketing point.

Then why the dog like fur?
Biologists wouldn’t say they’re the same species, because biologists are aware of interspecies hybrids and the species problem.
Dasus@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you rather live the life of an average person in the current era, or live as an absolute monarch 500 years ago? Why?2·10 days agoIt’s not even that much work, to be honest.
I wouldn’t run 6 fireplaces at once, maybe two or three at most, and aside from chopping and carrying the wood inside, there’s not that much work in it. Just set a few pieces nicely with a piece of paper (think jenga style more than a cartoon bonfire), se it alight. Let it breathe for a while, get a good flame, then fill 'er up once it’s going nicely. I mean, depending on how hot you want the room. I’d never actually shove them full, about halfway at most maybe. Then let it burn. Then fill it up a second and maybe third time in the winter, then just let it cool while stoking the coals.
It really doesn’t feel like work.
And now I’m nostalgic.
But yeah temperature would be the least of your worries as king imo. Perhaps not the least, but a small one anyway.
People don’t even need AC on the latitude I live in.
It’s basically two winters and August.
Literally for most of the year I wear the same amount of outdoor clothing, which is a lot.
Dasus@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you rather live the life of an average person in the current era, or live as an absolute monarch 500 years ago? Why?2·11 days agoFireplaces create a wonderful soft warmth. Unless you live in some huge castle or it’s completely blowing through your house, warming the house with fireplaces is great. Even when there are some small drafts here and there in the house. Just wear warm socks as the floors are usually quite cool despite the room being toasty from the heat.
Then you tend the fire for some time, long enough for the fire to properly warm all the stone around it. (Even in wooden houses, the central chimney would be rather thick at the bottom where the fireplaces are, so the stones store heat during the night.)
You stoke the coals and then when it’s just red coals and no more burning, you can shut down the chimney, so the rest of the heat stays in.
It slowly dissipates through the night. (But you won’t get carbon monoxide poisoning, which is why it’s important to have the chimney open while there’s actual fire.) It might get a bit cool around the morning hours, but sleeping in the cool is actually pretty decent.
Waking up in the cold is a bitch though.
We had uhm… two chimneys and six fireplaces in the house I (mostly) grew up in. Was built in the 30’s.

But the quality would’ve been, eh, less satisfactory, I would presume, and you’d have died of infection in like two weeks.
My point here being you’d surely have been able to persuade some quack to take sharp implements to you with enough gold. Royalty did crazy shit back then.
But yah I’m on your side on this. Being in power in an age we romanticise might seem. Until you remember that if you fall down and scratch your knee, you could die of that with bad luck.
Healthcare systems and governments might be shit nowadays but the level of medical technology is so vastly superior that it’s the obvious choice.
Congrats on what I gather was probably a lot of work, of all sorts. Enjoy.
Exactly. You’re so pathetically obviously Russian, it hurts.
It’s hilarious how you guys don’t understand how see through your “lies” are. It’s like a toddler hiding behind a curtain, their feet showing, thinking they’re hidden, while audibly giggling and shaking.
You can’t address Putin’s warcrimes.
Youre supporting, no, praising a delusional autocrat as a saint.
Enjoy your conscription! ;>
Sure, you’re Belgian, like Davel@lemmy.ml is American. ;>
Weird how you Putin loving totalitarians supporting crimes on humanity are never from Russia. Perhaps shamed of it? Rightfully so, what a ridiculous shitshow.
All you can do is cry “Nazi”. Like Zelensky is probably a nazi to you, and Putin is the rightful dear leader, right?
Do you disagree with Putin having a warrant out for him for grimes against humanity, or are you afraid of writing down what a mad, delusional narcissistic mess he is?

Oh and just as a history lesson, Finland was never Nazi. We weren’t even Axis. We weren’t allied, we were aligned. I know PIE languages can be challenging for you, but there is a difference. :)
Belgians can also differentiate between “i” and “j”. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also… Russians never lie. ^/s
You’ll be crying, cyka, when the drones will be coming for you. You’ve eaten the propaganda, and can’t cure yourself anymore. You’ve drank the kool-aid, my man. I know you’re a coward who know wrong from right, but doesn’t have the balls to call it as it is, as he’s afraid of what his family / friends thinks, but just… try to gather a little bit of balls from somewhere. The world would thank you. You won’t though, you silly orc.

Two very short sentences that I’m sure anyone can feed to AI, but they won’t have my ideas on what it’s like.
