Amuletta@lemmy.cato Bicycles@lemmy.ca•139 Bike Helmets Lose Virginia Tech 5-Star Rating as Safety Thresholds Reset1·2 days agoA long ago clubmate of mine would disagree. She was launched headfirst through the passenger side window of a car that abruptly turned left in front of her. Her helmet was demolished, but her only injury was a dislocated shoulder. She brought the remains of the helmet to the next club meeting to show us.
Amuletta@lemmy.cato Bicycles@lemmy.ca•139 Bike Helmets Lose Virginia Tech 5-Star Rating as Safety Thresholds Reset2·1 day agoI just bought a new one. Guess I better check to see if it passed. Edit: it gets 5 stars. Specialized Align ll.
Does anyone else remember those helmets from the late 80s/ early 90s where they left off the plastic skin and just used the foam with a lycra covering? I still remember seeing Curt Harnett’s shatter all over Glenmore velodrome when he crashed in a sprint race. He sat on the track apron for a moment, brushed the remaining chunks of foam out of his hair, then went looking for another helmet so he could continue in the competition.

Here's why4·4 days agoTwo incomes per household has actually been normal for most people in most countries throughout history. The postwar nuclear family where only dad has paid work is a brief 40 year blip in western countries.

I have no idea what codes come up. I am not a mechanic and don’t have the equipment to check.
It’s been doing this for years. The nearest Dodge dealership can’t find anything wrong with it.

Tell that to all those people taken off the streets by masked men and whisked off to El Salvador or “Alligator Alcatraz”.>
Amuletta@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre 'pivots' his Conservatives...with creepy emails and convoy support8·7 days agoImagine being dumb enough to think that those convoy loons are representative of Canadians as a whole, instead of being the lunatic fringe embarrassment that they are.
Amuletta@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre 'pivots' his Conservatives...with creepy emails and convoy support3·7 days agoI forgot about Sheer. Another career politician who has never had a real job. Okay, his dad did get him a job in his company’s mail room. I guess that’s more real world experience than PP has had.
Call me crazy, but I suspect that the former head of two national banks just might know more about managing an economy than some guy who went into politics straight after college.
Amuletta@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre 'pivots' his Conservatives...with creepy emails and convoy support8·7 days agoLOL, they didn’t have to “pull Donald Trump out of the bag”. We all heard Donny Bonespurs tell the world he wanted to annex Canada as the 51st state. We watched as he tried to intimidate us with tariffs. Do you think we don’t get American news up here?
PP has parroted MAGA talking points at every opportunity. Most Canadians, at least those with brains, are looking at what’s happening below the border and deciding that we definitely don’t want that.
Many of us also looked at the career history of the candidates and decided that a man with years of experience in banking would be better for our economy than a career politician who has never had another job, and who changed his name to try to win votes.

Amuletta@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Why are Indian scam callers always male?1·7 days agoNot always. I’ve gotten a few from women.
At the moment my dream bike is the Circe Morpheus tandem. My better half started having balance problems a few years ago and had to give up riding after a long lifetime of cycling. He gets bored riding on a trainer indoors and wishes he could join me. In the front recumbent seat of the Morpheus, he would have a low center of gravity and a clear view. Unfortunately, the price is a bit more than we can afford, between currency exchange rates, shipping, and import duties.
Amuletta@lemmy.cato Hardware@lemmy.world•Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell developmentEnglish5·14 days agoI bought stocks of Ballard Power years ago when hydrogen cells were going to be The Next Big Thing. Not many stocks thankfully, because it slipped further and further and then got delisted. It seems to be one of those things like airships that gets revived every 20 years or so.
Is anyone else here because Reddit kicked them out for spurious reasons? I was told that I was banned because I had “promoted hate”, but the link to the post where I supposedly did this didn’t have anything of mine in it. When I appealed they just doubled down.
Don’t like gore. Give me psychological horror that builds slowly.
