I feel like this has to be the case. America is a disaster but I cannot fathom the populace or even the military being complacent as they march over the border.

This is huge. It seems criminal for banks to charge you up to $50 when you may not even have that in your account.

34% of Canadians getting slapped with one of these fees in 2023 is bonkers. That's like $50 million in fees taken from the people who are least able to afford it.

There's a bug in that reporting stat. There are definitely thousands of posts!

Seeing as you've posted this to [email protected], I might suggest pixelfed.ca 😉

Not saying that planned obsolescence isn't a thing, but yeah the remaining appliances from decades ago are not completely representative of how reliable they were when new.

If you aren't testing your backups then you don't have backups.

I feel like this is so obvious it should slap you in the face after thinking about it for more than 5 seconds.

If you aren't getting around on a bike, you're probably taking your car instead which is +1 car on the road that wouldn't have been there otherwise. Multiply this by however many cyclists are currently using the bike lanes.

My first time playing battletech was just me and a friend of mine who hadn't played either, and we both have fairly severe adhd symptoms. Trying to figure out how to keep track of movement rolls was confusing to say the least but we eventually got it.

You send me a 🍑, I send a 🥕 back.

You send a 🎡, that's pretty abstract.

We're getting an extra episode when compared to last season so I'm not complaining.

Forget about wars until world hunger gets dealt with

 

Even though Kerri Einarson's rink had a tough week, they were able to make it through to the finals. Homan, however, showed us that she is an unstoppable machine and absolutely deserves to wear the maple leaf for another year.

Tire bead (lemmy.ca)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

This is a Schwalbe studded winter tire I bought a few months ago, and I'm not sure what exactly I did to get it like this but for some reason the bead seems to be warped or stretched. It doesn't want to fit my rims. There's a small section of the tire that's popped out of the rim, and when I try to lever it back into place the bead pulls out further down.

I've tried this tire on two different rims with the same results, and to make doubly sure it isn't the rims I put on one of my old Schwalbe Marathon tires which fit perfectly. Both tires are 40-635 700b.

Is this repairable? I don't have much experience dealing with tires but I find it unusual that this tire seemed to be fine until now when I changed out the wheel.

 

When my stubble grows in, I just have to play with it. When I shave it off, I just have to feel how smooth it is.

It's maddening and I recognize that people must think I look ridiculous with my hand always stroking my chin.
