Frame Saver is one example of an anti-rust product you can spread inside your frame: https://velo-orange.com/pages/how-to-use-frame-saver. Though as j4k3 mentioned these products are not perfect.

In reality, the rust in a steel frame isn't usually bad enough to make the frame unusable. The bigger problem is interfaces between parts. Seatposts love to get stuck in steel frames that have been left in the rain too long. Screws, too.

Aluminum, titanium, and carbon frames will not corrode significantly in wet weather. In rainy areas you will sometimes find people who have a winter bike in one of those materials, and save their steel bike for the drier months.

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

Sounds like it's essentially a Sturmey-Archer kick-shift 2-speed hub, but each gear outputs to a separate cog.

I think it's really good!

There is an often-repeated story about Bill Watterson (the Calvin and Hobbes creator) destroying his first 500 paintings. That's how much practice he thought he needed before his work was good. If you are not satisfied with your work, then just consider this one of your 500 pieces and keep going!

"Tassie" sounds like a great name.

Since Lemmy does not let users delete DMs, we took the liberty of deleting the "federverse girl" spam DMs for all the users on our instance. If we missed yours then let us know. Or maybe there is another account sending those out that we haven't mopped up yet?

And if you wanted to keep it for some reason, then I apologize.

 

Voting the wrong way is now a criminal act in Tennessee.

Under the new law, state officials can be removed from their positions and charged with a Class E felony if they vote in favor of “sanctuary” policies for immigrants — a practice already prohibited by state law.

Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, was the lone Republican in either chamber to vote against the bill.

“We’re telling an elected official, elected by the people in their district, their county, their city, who pledged to do the best job and obey the Constitution of the United States and the state of Tennessee … you can’t cast a vote,” Gardenhire said. “That, to me, is not part of being a Republican.”

Not sure if this fits the community. It's more just fun illustration rather than a comic strip. Mods, feel free to remove if you see fit.

I love this person's work. It's very whimsical and expressive.

TL;DR: The Australian Open is streaming games for free on YouTube. The catch is that the players, court, and ball are all 3D generated. They and constructed in near-real time using cameras and video tracking software.

The loophole allows the Australian Open to show a version of live events at the tournament on its own channels, despite having sold lucrative exclusive broadcast rights to partners across the globe.

The shiny puddles look like some low-temp metal melted and oozed out of the car as it burned. I wonder what part(s) melted, and what type of metal it is?
