It seems the solution to all your problems are:

  • Big trucks
  • Suburban sprawl
  • Privatized healthcare
  • Rabid anti-communism
  • Christian-fascist leaders

Or a mountain bike with suspension

3 of those are already set in motions.

I live in the Netherlands. Every year I see more and more American trucks on the road. The cancer is spreading.

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We need a 500% tariff on US vehicles.

500% import duty is way too much.

80% is enough.

High one-time taxes are not a good idea.

Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.

A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.

At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.

That's 3 of 8.

Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.

So with my 80/80 tax mix they'd actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.

Maybe throw a housing association in there too. You've gotta make sure your fining people for growing the wrong flowers.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

My mother and former stepfather wants it, because they think it's only about making sure people mow their grass on the regular, because wasps might be nesting there.

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.

One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”

And the other one says, “It's the cobblestones.”

Soda Maker at home.

They need to be cooled anyway before being drunk, so the beverage has some time to relax

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

also if you spin the bottle a few times (while it’s oriented normally) all of the bubbles stuck to the side go to the top and redissolve….
learned it on “better call saul” and it works amazingly.
….
since the bubbles are lighter than the liquid, when you spin it centrifugal force knocks the bubbles off the wall….

A backpack would solve this. Our bodies are suspension, so just put anything shake-sensitive in your backpack while driving home.

The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.

Also, OP, why are you having "American Breakfast"? Where's your croissant?

[–] python@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Where's your croissant?

In my MOUF

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The deathgrip. As if that croissant owes you money or something.

She's just still so mad that her drinks are all shaken up.

If you shoot your finger against the side (like shooting away a cigarette bud) several times, then slowly rotate the bottle around it's axel while it's standing on a table several times, you can safely open them without them squirting all over the place. It truly works, also with shaken soda/beer cans.

What I do with these groceries is put them in a bag on my back or in my hand when cycling. The rack is for other stuff like veggies and other stuff that can handle the shaking or might get shitty when stuffed in a bag.

But you have a nice rack on your bike. Although it looks hard to take anyone on the back, unless they stand upright.

Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!

[–] dabster291@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 days ago

somebody crusha ma baguette 🐭😡

[–] percent@infosec.pub 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

American here. I have seen plenty of roadkill in my lifetime, but none of it was ever a baguette.

Would have been fine if you bought real food/drink.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

How would padding it with vegetables have helped? Would seltzer water have been less shaken up?

Shaming someone biking to and from the store for getting zero calorie soda is ridiculous. Post the contents of your last trip to the grocery store. Made on foot or bike I’m sure, right?

To be clear, even if the answer to that was yes and you eat nothing but ‘health food’ it wouldn’t give you the right to sneer at what other people eat and drink.

[–] python@lemmy.world 127 points 2 days ago (7 children)

nah they're right, I eat like shit

Hats off to those who recognize their own bad habits.

Although really, in terms of bad habits, this is relatively minor.

Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You'll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won't degas further.

Also, keep in mind that it's mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).

Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to plastic straws for drinking soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Carry metal straws. They're awesome

This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example

[–] python@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Stupid part is that I can't ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture 😠 They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it's so inconvenient!

that's a first world problem if i've ever seen one

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (11 children)

As someone who's lived on a cobblestone street before, it's nice to look at, but a lot less functional than asphalt or concrete. Especially trying to walk home from the bar with a few drinks in you.

[–] python@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago

They're apparently also pretty good for slowing down cars in pedestrian-heavy areas, but yeah, taking a fall on those after a few drinks does hurt like shit haha

Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.
