Alright, I had no idea. Very cool.

Oh wow, nice. Did you happen to just spot them or were you on an expedition to find them?

Eww, oh, ok. 😁 Still a super good idea.

I’m packing the bike and off

That is a super good idea 😀 If you do, please post or crosspost something to !bicycle_touring@lemmy.world. First weeks of September i’ll be on my bike again too, looking forward to that.

That looks so sweet. Are there already bears in the area or do they stay on slovakian side 😅

Hm, yeah was just a guess. I could not live with screeching brakes either, the horror of riding a screeching loaded bike down a high alpine pass 😁

Probably was just your rim / brake pad mix. I remember had a screeching bike like this too when i was young, but on my current bike with v brakes it does not screech.

If i would buy new, i probably would want to go for disc brakes, not that there’d be much other choice, haha. But i feel people have a warped view on v-brakes, i have no real complaints. Super simple mechanics. Big alpine passes, loaded bike, in the rain… the stuff that people tell you is impossible is in my lived reality no problem at all. And holy shit do brake pads last a long time on those. I still like v-brakes, certainly not something that makes me want to buy a new bike.

Yeah i don’t think it works in Jerboa, but the web UI has an option to crosspost.

Tent sauna, huh. You seem to have figured it ou, haha.

Nice one! Yeah they got some really cool restrooms spread around Norway.

I would want to recommend to see if there’s not some community lab somewhere around you, chemicals are bit messy and many of them are not that long lasting either and then it may be a bit risky to still use it. I think it makes a lot of sense to share this stuff.

I was using diafine developer at home, because it has a long shelf life (rodinal too) and it pushes the films quite a bit, I was keen to be able to shoot fast shutter speeds. Also is quite fool proof. Now I am a member of some maker space kinda thing with a photo lab, have yet to use it though, really went digital in the last … decade really 😅 But I want to make use of it soon.

But they are not scared of you, just the metro? Really cool.

Thanks, that makes sense I guess. Those are some really cool names for the crows! Stash. I watch the crows in my yard stash stuff too, I thought they might be the ones who stashed peanuts in my flower pots, but now i suspect it’s the jays.

Haha, sounds real good. How many are they who follow you around, do they follow all together or do they have their sections? And can you tell (some of) them apart?

I tried to attract some crows to my balcony, but they seem real shy. I know they pick up peanuts at some other place in the yard. The daily peanut I lay out was only once collected by a crow (that I saw), then the jay took over.

Thanks, yeah, some really impressive rock formations there.

And I agree, sardegna is beautiful, enjoying it a lot.

I hope I was not the only one to try and tap that down arrow on the nightshade 😁

Oh ok, thank you. It was really kinda tempting to try it, haha. At least some animals seem to like it though, I also saw some complete ones with red berries on it, but this was the biggest one I saw, coconut size.

Haha, yeah I can kinda see it on the look of your face 😁

I was just at ulassai in sardegna, and while it was crazy hot, a lot of the climbing rocks there are in some narrow gorges which were refreshingly cool. Pretty cool place. But I did not climb, just walked around while taking a break from a cycling trip. Thankfully it cooled down a bit now.

Ha that is awesome. What kind of snacks do you have for them?

I thought all crows like peanuts, but the zero scare crow was only playing around with the one i gave it. I cracked one open and it pecked at the nut but did not eat. Wanted to be fed though but peanuts was all I had. Maybe too young.

I understood it, you are wearing the gear for it, appreciate the stuff you’re posting here.
