My #bike chain got replaced today. It was new in February when I replaced the whole drive train. So even though I wiped and oiled it every week, that chain was worth only about 4-5 months... Maybe 20...

@nprofile1q... Every few months if you're using the bike a lot, in all weathers, I'd say is pretty average. And after every 3 chains always replace the cassette.

You can prematurely wear out a chain if you add lubricant on top of lubricant. Only add lubricant after a full clean/degreasing it.

Mainstream media in the US needs to broadcast this message to all voters. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2026/06/18/iran-emerges-in-position-of-strength-after-ceasefire-signed-with-us_675...

@nprofile1q... If you go to war with another country and that country emerges in a position of strength, in plain English, that means they (Iran) won the war.

Iran won a war against America and Israel. - THAT is how it needs articulating to both Americans and Israelis. And that is why the terms set in the MoU are favourable to Iran.

In case there was any doubt. Elon Musk's role was 'instrumental' in the Belfast riots, researchers say https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/06/13/musk-s-role-was-instrumental-in-the-b...

@nprofile1q... He is driven by money not ideology. Musk spent over a decade as a Democrat supporting & funding left wing policies, before larping as a neonazi. His loyalty is 100% to transnational capital = enemy of nationalism. The reason he's manufacturing civil war in #uk #belfast is for profit, so he can sell UK his Technocracy / AI Digital ID surveillance grid, as the solution to the civil war, which will ultimately be used against the very same people he is inciting as well as everyone else.

⚠️ Internet connectivity remains cut in #Iran with the digital blackout now having entered its 88th day, surpassing 2088 hours of isolation from the outside world. Metrics confirm the shutdown cur...

1. The real battleground of #ww3 is your mind.
2. US-Israel has complete dominance over the internet / information space.
3. You win this war internally by cutting off the propaganda at source and by forcing your people to unite by forcing them to step away from the source of division that is their screens. 👀

If Iranians had internet they'd be divided and conquered by the side that controls the information space, which then controls their people, which is US-Israel.

So the US knew the location of the Iranian ship off Sri Lanka bc both the US and Iran were part of a military exercise hosted by India which the US pulled out of at the last minute, presumably so as t...

@nprofile1q... It is very debatable which side of this conflict India will take. On one hand it's a key player of BRICS alongside Russia and China. On the other its the only country in the world that has consistently cheered on and fully supported the genocide against #palestine

Indian-Iranian relations are complex at best. But,
bombing India's unarmed invited guests probably doesn't do the Israel-US side any favours.

The war with Iran will only increase the shortage in Ukraine for interceptors for missiles/drones. Also I think it's peculiar some European countries send military assets to defend Gulf States against...

@nprofile1q... @geopolitics group Because oil is still the most valuable commodity on earth. Middle East has far greater importance than Ukraine for EU. The EU, having cut themselves off from cheap Russian energy, is now more dependent than ever on Middle East and US to the point of not just suffering energy supply woes if this war escalates, but potentially being cut off entirely, making #iran war an existential threat to #eu

In fact, no one stands to potentially lose more in this war than EU.

I welcome Trump voters changing, but I am getting really tired of hearing, "I didn't vote for this." https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/117/916/876/642/434/original/3cb1165c117...

@nprofile1q... America would have the same policies no matter who got in. Politicians serve their donors, that's not the American people, it's corporations, special interest groups and the rich, it's a democracy for them not you and theirs is the only "vote" that matters which has any real bearing on government policy

Americans are so focused on the fake left vs. right divide, they fail to notice who is pulling the strings, or why no party delivers for the people or why things get worse year on year

Offline help: Documentation is readily available, is always there, no extra requirements, is future proof.

Online help: Relies on the server being up, relies on the user having an internet connection at all times, relies on the dev maintaining it.

Help locked behind online connectivity just shows contempt for the user by the developer, a thousand times this if the developer locks that help behind proprietary software like #discord
