After over two decades, Surly moved the Cross-Check frameset from their standard lineup of bikes to the ‘Legacy Lineup’ of their website. Surly confirmed that the bike is no longer in production and is unlikely to come back.
If you haven’t owned this gravel/cyclocross/touring/whatever bike yourself, you likely know someone who has. The Surly Cross-Check was the egalitarian choice in cycling, simultaneously someone’s utilitarian dream bike that was attainable and sold at a fair price.
The end of the Cross-Check marks the bike’s reign as the most bike that ever biked, the go-to way to make a pile of parts you hoarded in the corner of your garage into a functioning bicycle, and the defacto option that a bike nerd could happily ride and recommend to their non-bikey friends all the same.
@tk@cycling@mastobikes@mhoye Aw, dang. I rejoined the cycling world 12 or 13 years ago on a black Cross Check. I loved it unreservedly, and kept it in my garage for years after I rode it regularly— it got displaced by lighter, shinier bikes — mostly out of sentimental reasons.
I finally sold it last year to a math grad student who rides it nearly every day.
My theory is, when I get my #morning#cycling I’m feeling much better throughout the entire day. If I didn’t, you have me falling asleep at noon…🤡 @cycling@rower
Zaglądające do domu i czające się w kniejach.
Wśród paproci i w zagrodach.
Demony chmur burzowych i gradowych.
Diabły domowe i wysysające krew.
Duchy polne, leśne, górskie.
Z baśni, folkloru, wierzeń.
Ale i Ci którzy rozumieją i radzą, jak oswoić lub odegnać.
Wszystko co przed nami i po nas.
„Polska demonologia ludowa. Wierzenia dawnych Słowian”

Na Twitterze była niedawno dość żywiołowa dyskusja. Nie udało się jednak ustalić, jaki jest powód takiego budowania ścieżek. Może Wy coś wiecie na ten temat? @rower#rowery#kolarstwo
I'm curious - what's the difference between magazines and users when linked to the greater fediverse?
It seems like the link to both would be @name@kbin.social. If somebody creates a user named news, it would therefore be found at @news@kbin.social - which is where the news magazine is found.
Don't these collide? How do we distinguish between the two?
@sab Actually, that's the idea, Lemmy and Matrix use a ! before the URL to name communities/rooms for example https://lemmy.world/c/technology but Mastodon doesn't support it and they are the biggest platform so they don't have any plan to do it, Kbin's solution was to use the same logic for users than for magazines. If you access a magazine from Mastodon you will see that it works as a user. Many people think that Lemmy is the only one who resists Mastodon's bad practices.
Gdyby nie męczenie czytelnika niezwiązanymi ze sobą sprawami, które mają wprowadzić w świat i trochę czasem "sztywna" atmosfera, to książka byłaby naprawdę dobra. A tak pewnie jest dobra (zwłaszcza, że jest klimat), ale mnie po prostu nie chwyciła. Dla fanów urban fantasy z różnymi rasami.
