What shows measure up to The Wire? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

Contemporary with the Wire is the Sopranos. Rewatched it not too long ago and it really stands up (skipping over a spectacularly misjudged vfx shot in season 2). Apologies if this is an obvious one!

Now hear me out on this next one, but the original series of Babylon 5 was way way ahead of its time in terms of a recurring storyline. Again the effects are a product of the times but the writing is excellent, I think.

Integrating Sync-like Features into Thunder for Lemmy: An Open-Source Alternative? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The only thing really missing for me is being able to set different sorting methods for different contexts

For example when I'm looking at my subscriptions I sort by new. If I want to look at all of Lemmy I definitely want to sort by top or something else

Honestly that's the only thing I'm really missing from thunder

This finally made me learn about optional filter lists

Alpine promote Kush Maini to F1 reserve pool for 2025 in c/[email protected]

Mate, Doohan must be hoping for a solid run of points with Colapinto and Maini in the mix. Thought Kush did pretty well in f2 last season

Thanks for the heads up... Remind me is it unlimited transfers until the second race? I only played it for the first time last year and whilst I utterly CRUSHED all my IRL friends and work acquaintances, I definitely messed some stuff up at the start of the season...

OH how about a Lemmy league?

Anyone got any intel on when the official fantasy is due to launch?

Your Ideal RPG Series or Campaign in c/[email protected]

Your concept sounds extremely fun (for the right group of course!), and a really good fit for Blades in the Dark as the system (I think the system itself is called Forged in the Dark)

Greenwich foot tunnel status updates are abysmal in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah it's annoying, presumably there is some data coming back to somewhere. But hey at least it's not Woolwich where you know for 100% certainty that the north lift is out of service

Headset cup removal problem (lemmy.world)
 

Hoping someone can offer some advice. I'm working on a late 80s Raleigh Montage, 88 I think. It has a u-brake on the rear which dates it.

Anyway I have it all stripped down, including the cup and cone bb.

The only thing I can't seem to remove are the headset cups, as the headtube is slightly flared on the inside top and bottom, so I can't get the tool to make contact with the edge of the cup.

What am I missing here? How do I get these out?

Jail terms and a repeat (www.theguardian.com)
 

The jail sentences handed out today seem completely insane to me, not least considering the overcrowding of jails that's been reported. Even if they had tons of space it seems like madness.

I can well understand people's reservations about JSO's general tactics but at the same time, what alternative is offered by their detractors?

Personally I don't feel as though Labour or the Democrats stateside are doing, or planning on doing, anything close to enough to tackle our impact on the climate.

What do you think?

Question about rim tape glue (lemmy.world)
 

I have some cotton velox rim tape but it's not very sticky and so I'm struggling to apply it to my rims.

Can I just use a few dots of superglue here and there to stick it down?

[London] why is Millwall on the wrong side of the river? (lemmy.world)
 

Please let me know in non spoiler mode, isn't this game made by Brits? I'm literally going through the foot tunnel to the north side and thinking "the den is thataway" (west)

The cycleway from Greenwich to London Bridge is now fully open! (lemmy.world)
 

I just found this out today by cycling it. You can now shoot straight through the section at Surrey Quays/Southwark Park making this route extremely quick and largely safe.

I don't like the crossover at Surrey Quays station OR that weird side road dip just before the McDonalds but all things considered this is a great route.

Apologies if this is off topic, I CBA to make London cycling
