  • Grandma Gatewood

    Jump

  • This woman is an AT legend.

    When Gatewood set out, she brought with her just a homemade denim bag with a blanket, a shower curtain, a cup, a canteen and bottle for water, a small pot, a spoon, a Swiss Army knife, a first-aid kit, pins, a flashlight, a piece of rope, a raincoat, a warm coat, a change of clothes, and her trusty Keds sneakers. She wore out seven pairs of Keds during the entirety of her trip. Remarkably, Gatewood did not bring a sleeping bag, a tent, a compass, or a map. Instead, she relied on the hospitality and kindness of strangers who lived along the trail for food and shelter. This was rather easy to do, because Gatewood became something of a local celebrity in the neighboring towns.Media coverage of her trip was extensive with local reporters stopping to interview her. Her own children found out about her trip because a newspaper clipping had made its way to her hometown in Ohio. Despite this hospitality, the trip was not entirely comfortable. Gatewood often slept on front porch swings, under picnic benches, or on a bed of leaves. She ate canned Vienna sausages, raisins, nuts, chicken bouillon cubes, or greens she found on the trail. Gatewood was particularly resourceful and had learned which plants were edible before her trip.

  • Those are coveted by the noncredibledefense crowd. You can get copies on AliExpress, but they just aren't the same.

  • Anyone got experience of suspension seatposts?

    Jump

  • The telescoping ones I've tried have all been sticky like a cheap fork. Four-bar linkages like the Thudbuster work better IMO. Though I have never found a suspension seatpost I really liked. It bugs me to have the distance between the saddle and cranks vary without my input.

    Can your frame fit bigger tires? I would recommend going that route if possible.

  • Local newspaper presents paid political advertising in the same format as a regular news article

    Jump

  • No. I am not sure how we could even craft such a law in the current US legal climate. Political speech, and money tied to political speech, are nearly impossible to regulate in any meaningful way.

  • Reverse image search says it's a Republican fighter from the Spanish Civil War. I didn't find much beyond that.

    This image has probably been extensively cleaned up with Photoshop. The version in Wikimedia Commons is much messier.

  • Trail Blazers demand more than arena funding in Portland City Council appearance

    Jump

  • Multi-billion-dollar sports leagues can pay for their own damn stadiums. Don't fall for it, Portland. No public funding. If they insist, then tell them to pound sand.

    Edit: Pardon my lazy use of AI, but the combined wealth of the team's owners is supposedly $10 billion. Fuck these guys, they can pay for the renovations themselves.

  • Matt Damon’s Biceps in That ‘Odyssey’ Fight Scene? They’re Hers.

    Jump

  • actor Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of Homer’s epic tale, had said in an interview that she had “the greatest arms I have ever seen.”

    Damon had been discussing one of the film’s pivotal scenes when he gently corrected his interlocutor, who had mistakenly assumed the biceps in the shot were his own: They belonged to Dalton, who some might be surprised to learn is his stunt double.

    A shot of Dalton from behind in the scene, holding a sword and ready to pounce at the giants, is used in one of the posters for the movie.

    Confirmed. That's a damn fine arm.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

  • In such a case, would the two instances still effectively be defederated?

    I think so? That's what I would expect, at least.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

    Jump

  • If you want to complicate the graph further, I believe hexbear federates using an allow list. Blahaj, lemmy.ca, and sh.itjust.works are not on the allow list, so they are effectively defederated. I haven't looked further to see which other large instances may be affected.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

    Jump

  • The beehaw.org/sh.itjust.works defederation is really one-way. Beehaw defederated from us after some exceptionally bad trolls were operating from sh.itjust.works in 2023. IIRC, they requested that we also defederate from them to really make sure the split was made. We honored their request.

    We would happily reconnect if Beehaw decided they want to federate with us again. If not, then that's fine; they have a right to associate with whomever they like.

    I believe infosec.pub temporarily defederated from us around the same time for the same reason. It was a rough time.
