Competing standards and clueless sellers are bad, and then the tire marketing makes things even worse.
Marketed for road? That’s 700c.
Marketed for mountain? That’s 29".
Marketed for ebikes? That’s 28".
But all three tires fit on the same 622mm diameter rim.
This is the answer right here. Hook up with a local sailing club and take classes. If you love it, make friends with other sailors and rent the club’s boats.
If there’s interesting stuff to see near shore, and the tides are manageable, then kayaking is also great. It’s cheap and easy to get into, and great exercise.
Homeopathics, though sometimes even a placebo can have beneficial effects.
Apple DOS on an Apple IIe in school.
First Linux distro was Debian.
I was rougher on pillows back then.
There’s a story here, I just know it.
For that bolt, I’d say give it 5 ugga-duggas and call it good.
Yes, the first link is combatants only. I think the numbers in the second link include civilian deaths, but it isn’t explicitly stated on that page.
You might like this graph of global war deaths by year from 1800 to present:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-in-wars
World War 2 vastly overshadows all other conflicts. Something like 3.7% of the global population died. Some individual countries lost more than 10% of their populations. No other conflict, or group of regional conflicts, comes anywhere close.
I wish the graph in the link had an option to normalize by population. I bet a graph of war deaths as a percent of global population would look very peaceful over the past 50 years.
Edit to add a link about my 10% population number:

Since becoming a parent my nightmares all involve my kids being harmed: crashing their bicycles, getting hit by cars, falling and hitting their heads, etc. It’s awful.
I thought this was the thread about the force-sensitive wookies?
Say out loud to yourself, “What the hell is this?” or, “Why did they do it this way?” once in a while. Everyone around will think you know exactly what you’re doing.
It varies greatly depending on your setup.
Lemmy.world’s monthly expenses are around €1,200. Though that includes hosting more services that just Lemmy.

For comparison, it looks like £30 per month for lemmy.zip:

And lemmy.ca is around CAD$30 per month:

At one point Reddthat.com was considering moving to a bigger server that would cost A$150-200 per month:

Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.
Ah, DaneMen comics! I almost forgot about those.
I think GDP in this case, but yeah, same idea. It makes sense that wealthy countries with good infrastructure are going to be high on the list.
Country (nominal GDP rank)
USA (1)
France (7)
Germany (4)
Japan (3)
Finland (47)
Canada (9)
Netherlands (18)
Russia (8)
UK (6)
High-GDP countries that are notably missing are China (2, users are limited by the Great Firewall) and India (5, still building their infrastructure).
I wonder why Finland is so high on the list? Good for them, regardless.
As others have mentioned, Diary of Anne Frank is the only fitting non-fiction book that comes to mind.
Angela’s Ashes is sometimes assigned in high school. It’s mostly non-fiction, though the author describes his own conception so clearly it’s not all strictly true.
I saw the report and came as fast as I could!
Does Weird Al count? Because he is just as talented as any “serious” musician.
Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.
“Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys is the same Ab7 chord for the whole song. Lock in that one chord shape and then all you have to do is get the strumming pattern. Put a capo across four strings on the first fret to make life even easier for your left hand.

This page says there are slight changes in the chorus. Just don’t strum the low E string for that part. If you or your friends are belting out the lyrics then it won’t matter anyway.
The intro and verse to “About A Girl” by Nirvana is also easy. You go back and forth between Em and G, and it’s a relaxed tempo. To play the chorus you have to learn a few bar chords. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/nirvana/about-a-girl-tabs-36242
