I’ve seen a few drone videos to the Benny Hill tune… it’s rough.

Why these Russians aren’t fragging officers non-stop is beyond me.

Sounds like he made poor choices, got Nissan into financial troubles and somehow thinks he’s negotiating on even footing with the much larger and healthier manufacturer Honda.

I still have the ZX6R and Im planning on doing a few track days this year. I wouldn’t mind getting into racing now that I have the disposable income!

I wish I had that many track options. I would need to travel over twice that distance to ride that many tracks.

Pheasant Wood Circuit NSW, Australia before its rework. It has much better run off than it used to.

I think this was taken at turn 4.

Earlier in the day I out braked an R1 into T1 and had a tank slapper. I narrowly avoided going into the tyre wall as there was zero run off before the track changes!

The stock steering damper definitely saved my bacon.

The potential severity of this infection is underplayed a bit in the article, there was a young Australian man who ate a slug on a dare which left him disabled and eventually lead to complications which killed him.

Albendazole is widely available at least so good to know if I ever find slug tracks on a half eaten salad!

I’m hoping they increase the number or motorcycle sessions to offset this but only time will tell.

Temperatures during a fever can go high enough to damage cells and interferes with normal functions, it also interferes with viral, bacterial and fungal replication and other mechanics.

Not all chemistry ‘works better’ at higher temperatures with many proteins only functioning well within very narrow temperature ranges.

This case-note retrospective has a higher rate of detransitioning than you have claimed here, though the sample size was smaller than would be ideal. The ‘under 1%’ claim is chucked around a bit in media but I have yet to see a solid source for that claim.

I would be interested in reading other studies on this.

I can only explain the image portion, Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves but cannot recognise them as food when they are off the branch.

Being unlikeable while ugly, or uWu if you will, is bound to limit your options

It is a joke but there's a hint of truth in there.

I'm definitely not struggling in life if that helps

Why does every single ADHD meme feel like a personal attack?

 

Time for a new banner!

Please reply to this post with a photo you think could be our next c/motorcycles banner, the highest upvoted post after 72 hours wins.

The banner size limit seems to be 3540 x 600 it would be helpful if you could crop your photo before submission but is not a requirement.

Rules are simple:

  1. You must have taken the photo or have full rights to the photo
  2. Must be motorcycling related
  3. Safe For Work images only
  4. No AI generated images
  5. No brigading or vote manipulation
 

Unfortunately lemmy.world/c/motorcycles has had an inactive mod for the last year, and while its a relatively low activity sub for its size, and activity is overwhelmingly civil, a mod should still be around in case a need arises.

I'm more than willing for other mods to be appointed, especially in other timezones (I'm in Australia) so long as we can agree on moderation standards.

As for why I would like to moderate this community? I've been riding motorcycles for nearly two decades on the road and track, own 5 motorcycles (Ninja 1000, ZX6R, SWM Superdual X, 2x FZR250) and some have claimed I have a small interest in motorcycling and the community.

For clarity I would update the sidebar to include the following rules:

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Engage in constructive discussions.
  4. Share relevant content.
  5. No advertising or self promotion.

Didn't get much actual shopping done. This isn't a rare thing or anything, there's no custody or other limitations going on.

Got the discounted chinese take away boxes for lunch and the boy got a small bag of chips from the Italian takeaway as a snack before lunch.

Please no brigading, I'm only linking for context.

Criticising the OP for being spiteful by saying "Served them right!" in the post when lack of customers resulted in menu changes, which still failed to save the restaurant is hardly "excusing carnism" or being a "fake vegan" in my opinion.

"fake vegan" isn't in the rules anywhere either? Odd really.

Failing to celebrate the closure of a (formerly) vegan restaurant due to lack of customers hardly sounds like 'carnist rhetoric' (rule 5) to me but what do I know.

 
 

The quokka is known for the appearance of a smile which is due to its facial structure, and not due to smiling. But lets not spoil it by telling them!
