Edinburgh is by it's very nature hostile to cycling - even if every road was turned into a bike path it would still be a fucking nightmare cycling up and down all the hills, and don't get me started on the old town...

Ceramic or mica waveguide cover. Do not use the microwave without replacing it, it stops radiation getting in the electronics and blowing them up.

.world is still federated with .ml and was never federated with hexbear.

Exactly how many of NATO's operations do you believe have been defensive?

That's because your politics are vibe based rather than materialist, so you equate of "this war was the inevitable outcome of NATO policy" to the support you have for Ukraine.

Lemmy was created by .ml with assistance hardening the platform from Hexbear. There is no "now", Lemmy has always been communist, you're just a stupid lib who assumes yourself the default.

It's pretty much just Vimto. I carry some around in a water bottle when I got out and any place I regularly visit has a bottle of concentrate appear in its cupboards. I fucking love Vimto.

Swans and geese are just big ducks.

THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
