There's gotta be someone whose written about how the material conditions of animal husbandry were repurposed as an ideological tool to control human women.

I've definitely started a book by these guys that I bailed on in less than 30 pages because I could see their shtick wasn't going to be informative.

A Raul Seixas song is featured in the film, why does he seem so well liked compared to much better Brazilian musicians?

Tlön, Uqabar & Orbis Tertius becoming real.

After 90 minutes of trying to remove the mudguard from my old bike. I finally succeeded in removing the front wheel.

I've been uncharacteristically careful while dissembling but it looks like the brake/gear wires have to be cut for the bike to come apart.

@7bicycles any sage advice?

This person claimed to be white passing for being Armenian. Rephrasing, this person claimed to be passing for Caucasian because she was from the actual caucus.

I still have my old bike, I could try stripping it for parts.

If you can thread it back in and get it up to tension - just hand feel it compared to the other spoke - should be fine for a while unless you're really heavy, it has very few spokes or you huck yourself off jumps with it. If it's borked, one of the next trip should be to getting it fixed. It's not going to fail catastrophically on you, most likely, but it probably won't be too long until the other spokes or rim get even more bent out of shape, compounding the problem. Easy fix now.

I ended up at a shop for an unrelated reason, the man said they didn't have a spoke repair kit.

The unrelated reason being that what google translate said was a mudguard broke and I needed something to stop it from scraping the tire.

I love soundway records. I've been onto them for years. Compilations do have their issues though. For one, there's a bottleneck, I've found it difficult to click through to get individual projects from featured artists. Secondly, sometimes when you do get through it sounds different which raises another issue: did the medium become the message? Are these labels simply marketing existing music to a new market or is the content changed in its commodification. The rift between how absent the accordion is on these projects compared to it's historical prominence is just one example of how that might play out.

I guess one of the paradoxes is I want music to listen to offline but all methods require being yet more online.

Why does Z-Libary require me to make an account. And why does the confirmation code not arrive on the temporary email address I use for the occassion.

I got into one of the what.cd successor sites. But nothing uploads for me so I'm limited to the biannual freeleech tokens.

First one, then the other.

A singular spoke on my bike came loose. Do I need to get it fixed asap or can I wait until I naturally end up near the repair shop?

How do you actively maintain brakes?

I fell too recently. My brakes can't handle rain anymore.

Most influencers are like doctor who where a new actor plays the role every few years.

Youtube switched the position of the "Reject" and "Allow" cookies button.

I keep misclicking and have close my window and restart a new session.

Some romhacks do.

Where are the peanuts?

Aldi is more expensive compared to other stores here. And they refuse to open more check out if a line starts forming. In fact, even when there's no one I find myself waiting because they force the cashiers to stock shelfs when no one is waiting.
