Fauja Singh, ‘world’s oldest marathon runner’, dies in road accident aged 114
Fauja Singh, ‘world’s oldest marathon runner’, dies in road accident aged 114 - Lemmy.World
> The runner Fauja Singh, believed to be the oldest person to complete a marathon, has died in a road accident in India aged 114. > > The athlete, who lived in Ilford in east London, was hit by a car and suffered fatal injuries while trying to cross a road in his birth village of Beas Pind, near Jalandhar in Punjab, on Monday, according to reports in India. Come on, Guardian. “Accident?!” Notice the use of language in these cases. When the person killed is driving, that’s a “crash.” For example, “crash” was used to describe Kelvin Kiptum’s (marathon record holder) death. Off the top of my head, a couple more ultra-endurance athletes killed when hit by automobiles: - Jure Robič - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jure_Robič [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jure_Robi%C4%8D], killed while training - Bob Breedlove - https://web.archive.org/web/20221206061718/https://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/destinations/wrecked/ [https://web.archive.org/web/20221206061718/https://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/destinations/wrecked/], killed by a truck during the 2005 RAAM

YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick
YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick - Lemmy.World
No, this isn’t a cast iron thing. Using stainless pans, you can get nonstick effects that, in my experience, far outperform Teflon anyway. The process is called “spot seasoning.” I have cooked crispy, cheesy rice noodles with eggs with zero sticking. I love my cast iron pans, but stainless is my daily go-to. Added bonus: use 100% copper wool to clean your stainless pan. The copper-coated wool at most grocery stores is problematic; you might get a few uses out of the coated garbage and then it starts shedding metal bits.

What Synthesizer Makes This Sound?
What Synthesizer Makes This Sound? - Lemmy.World
I’m learning how to build up my own synths in Bitwig Grid, but I’m far from the point where I can just imagine a sound and then implement it. Does anyone know what synth that is in the sweep at the linked time? I realize it’s most likely an analog or analog-modeling synth, but which one? More advanced question: what combination of oscillators and filters would one combine to get that sound?
Surprise Blizzard
Surprise Blizzard - Lemmy.World
My commute was 25 miles each way, 1400 feet (426m) of ascent each way, with no transit option. Last winter, a surprise blizzard rolled in during the week. My ride home took me 2.5 hours, rather than my usual 1:40, but I managed to stay upright the whole ride despite riding on slicks. Fixies and foul weather, better together!
