In the same vein, driving gas cars

That sucks. Personally, exercise is essential for me. Also, I would consider an ebike. I've been doing it for about a year, 30mi round trip for work. Even through most of a Michigan winter. Really trying to never have to deal with a car again. Recently got a mototcycle for those real long trips. Best of luck

Seems to me the two biggest personal changes one can make are related to diet and transportation.

Realize the destructive nature of the animal agriculture industry, as well as the automobile industry and adjust accordingly.

Go vegan, and swap car for ebike. Hopefully inspiring others to do the same eventually.

2 big problems with that statement. 1st, it's being harvested at a much greater rate than it's being replenished. Second, old trees and old forests are far more valuable to the ecosystem than the cookie cutter "forests" planted after harvests.

I ride 40mins, twice a day by ebike through mostly dirt/country roads. When weather is good, its great. Less so when rainy but still partially enjoyable. Only real concern is cars...and to be fair, deer. See them every morning, usually close up. Join me in the ebike revolution

I've got a single speed k1 wide chain I want to put on my multispeed bike (lectric 3.0 ebike).

I'm a newbie, not sure of what info on the bike might be relevant but it's a modern, 7 speed, freewheel.

I've messed this up before. I tried this chain on a different bike when converting it but I kept skipping.

Sounds like I need better fitting cogs? Do I need "wide" ones? Crankset and rear cog? Possible better fitting chain tensioner too? Shopping around, I'm not seeing much a difference in sizing for these parts.

Any tips appreciated

Tragic and far too common. About 1,000 cyclists killed annually in the U.S. Cars are a plague.

The first article title I read on the story only said that he died. Just now ran into the more accurately titled article here on Lemmy

I suppose it really depends on where you live. I usually don't lock up and leave my battery in.

Yep yep, good on ya. Getting an ebike? I'm up to almost 3k miles on mine over the past 15 months. I love it

First of all, I find this picture hilarious regardless of whatever. It was in a healthcare textbook, baby reflexes.

Also, sorry I didn't know how to rotate. Is it something easy on this app, Jerboa? I'm clueless

Anyway, thought it could be good material for one of those "what people think child free is vs what it really is".

It takes a village (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Xanderill@lemmy.world to c/childfree@lemmy.world

Listening to a book..."Sapiens". Author talked about how dependent kids are. How compared to other animals, our babies need alot of support in the early stages of life.

Like alot of you I'm sure, I've got a fair amount of kids in my life...none of "mine" but some kind of are. I guess my point is we may not have kids, but really, they are all our kids, as supported by evolutionary biology, it takes a village.

Edit: Going a bit deeper...the author explains that for millions of years, while we were tribal, nomadic gatherer/hunters. We didn't know who's kids were who's, obviously the mother was primary caretaker, but, circling back, we evolved to raise kids as a community, not so much of the "traditional" mom/dad/child dynamic popular today.

I don't plan on "having kids" but still, I think it's all our responsibility (hopefully a partially enjoyable one) to help. Hard to argue anything more beneficial for our societys future than having well developed youth.

multi vitamin (www.amazon.com)

Ran out of my ritual multi vitamins and wanted some quick, got these from Walgreens.

What do yall use? I know I've heard it's best to use multiple bottles for different nutritional needs but that sounds super inconvenient.

[-] Xanderill@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Scratching the surface compared to an ebike. Virtually 0 fuel/maintenance cost. No insurance/registration AND parking.

[-] Xanderill@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes awful public transportation...but "impossible"? Nahh. Still, could save alot of wear and tear getting and ebike for a portion of travel distance.
