Duranie, to lemmyshitpost in That look... oh, she in trouble

It’s been years since I looked at it, but there’s videos on YouTube showing just how awful most “self defense” techniques are. Sure, it’s great as long as you’re prepared and it’s a predictable attack by someone who knows the routine and cooperates.

Yeah, have seen that video as well.

In all honesty, this is a technique that works. It won’t inflate the tire properly, it’s intended for situations like getting tires fitted to tractor rims, and it doesn’t use gasoline or oil. The main problems were the fact that they used oil, and a whole quart of it at that

There must have been something more than just oil in whatever he dumped in there.

mojofrododojo,

it almost looked like some kind of powder they were pouring in.

I saw this attempted in person once, actually mounted the tire, it just deflated again a few miles after we put it back on.

On a second look I wonder if the explosion was intentional, considering the fuse.

Motorheadbanger,

This is for mounting the tyre only; this method burns whatever’s inside the tyre so it actually creates negative tyre pressure, therefore, you gotta inflate it afterwards

21Cabbage,

We did in fact do that.

You have a problem with that?

Let’s look at the positives here. They now have a QUICK method to remove a tire from a rim. Shit, they can even do it while the wheel is still on the vehicle/trailer. Great life hack, and under five minutes at that!

Well, unless you don’t mind having a window broken and some exterior damage… sure, I guess 🤷.

You just need to take the axle off first. Easy peasy.

Secret300, to linuxmemes in I am one of you now

I love arch but I actually haven’t used it since before they added the arch install. I can’t imagine how much easier it is cause it’s still the terminal. The “manual” install was easy as hell

@yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com avatar

It’s much easier. Just make some choices and it installs. Honestly can’t call it the terminal if it lets me choose options with arrow keys.

FTFY

Emma_Gold_Man,

There’s more truth to that than most people realize: Linux is only one kernel option in Debian:

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

Debian GNU/NetBSD

Debian GNU/Hurd

glibg10b, to linuxmemes in The greatest debate of our time

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn’t more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn’t perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

rikudou,
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Can confirm it’s a shitty metric. I once saved the company I was working at few millions by changing one line of code. And it took 3 days to find it. And it was only 3 characters changed.

I was referring to Darth Vader getting his hand chopped off.

Wait, that was Luke 🤦… nevermind…

Duamerthrax,

Uh… have you not seen the prequels? Lucas isn’t exactly known for subtle story telling.

0x4E4F,

I have, but I forgot the storyline… well, remeber it kinda vaguely. The original trilogy is what is burned in my mind, I was a kid, it was a great trilogy.

Yes, it would be much harder for you to keep making propaganda.

@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

Edit: I was looking at this from an American perspective and assuming these were all 'murican ships and aircraft. There aren’t. Nothing I previously wrote would align with the video since the British navy is weird. So, I just erased my assumptions. They were likely all wrong anyway.

gravitas_deficiency,

Judging by the fact that the front of that flat deck has a ski jump, I’d wager that it’s the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which does in fact have a dual-island design.

remotelove, (edited )
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn’t compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn’t sure.

Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren’t 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.

    I dunno, “good at delivering a joke” maybe!?

    activ8r,

    Just finished your first psych class or something? 😄

    duffkiligan, to vexillology in Today marks 20 years since Georgia changed its flag! They got rid of a, IMO quite ugly, brown flag, replacing it with the much prettier red and white flag of the medieval Kingdom of Georgia.

    Is op red-green colorblind?

    Jaettehjort,
    @Jaettehjort@lemmy.world avatar

    I think it’s more about where you draw the line between red and brown, which is individual and cultural. Apparently, my view on this might be a bit controversial. I first saw the old Georgian flag as a small child that did not know fancy words like “burgundy” and “maroon”. It seemed brown to me, and so it has remained in my mind, even if it would be more exact to describe it as some nuance brownish shade of red, or reddish shade of brown.

    You can also have a look at the Wikipedia page with shades of brown, and I’m sure you will find that people can be way crazier than me when it comes to describing things as brown. Like, how can wheat, bone, moles or black olives be brown?

    ethan, (edited )

    I’m going to have to strenuously object to Wikipedia on that one.

    Brown is definitionally a dark combination of red and green. Burgundy’s official color code is 50% red 0% green 13% blue.

    As a sidenote, I love these litttle inane internet arguments.

    PsychedSy,

    It’s just dark orange anyway.

    bionicjoey,
    Jaettehjort,
    @Jaettehjort@lemmy.world avatar

    Then let’s do some inane arguing!

    It all depends on your color model. If you would use CMYK instead you would see that burgundy is a combination of magenta, yellow and black, just as brown is.

    The definition of brown can definitely include blue as well, e.g. W3C defines the keyword brown as rgb(165, 42, 42).
