There is a frost punk community???
Yep, kind of dead though sadly :( !frostpunk@lemmy.world
Well know I know where to post my memes when the dlcs comes out.
Oh shit hello frostlander. Im the only active poster there
A new law has passed!
That person will have their legs fucked for life if they crash. Most alpine skis have a mechanism that has to release the ski if there's too much force on it (so as to not break the person's legs), and it seems like it's set wayyyyy to high because they have held up the skiers weight for long enough to take that picture.
Afaik the mechanism only triggers when there is momentum on the legs, not when you are pushed into the ski
There’s different forces required to release forward vs torsion side to side. A DIN 8 setting is typical for a veteran skier this size. I think that’s 180lbs of force per binding of forward lean so you got a lot to work with.
Depending on the terrain an early ski release can be more dangerous than keeping them on. Skiing is risky but that’s part of the fun!
Maybe they're very skilled and managed to get into position in such a way that it didn't trigger the system, which is otherwise normally tuned, but yeah you're most likely correct. Also good to know, more advanced skiers use higher DIN settings (harder to release) to enable them to ski harder on rough terrain without the skis coming off.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainly of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
oh--- OOOHH thats a human in ther!!!! :o
at first i thought it jus a robot.... woah.
vrri funi, much enjoy <3
The frostpunk ones are just robotses however
yisyis fine... oki... sure ... (i duno frostpunk, evn aftr lookin it up i dun kno mor >~<)
Its cute lil (big) robot mechs that do lots of jobs for you because its like -100°C outside so you dont wanna make people go out themselves. Much helpful, very speed.
even with the back support, those quads must be burning a little
Nah it'll be okay. The power of fine new-london engineering 💪
I’ll just put this fire over here… with the rest of the fire.
I've tried that. It does, but the worst part is being terrified that the skis are gonna break or a pole is going to bend the whole time
Breaking skis is pretty difficult. Really hard to put enough load on them before the bindings click out.
Well, FWIW, my sister who was 1 or two levels above me in skiing, managed to actually break a ski, without even doing anything particularly bold. When you say you are an expert skier they do tend to make the bindings pretty damn "hard" iirc.
Now, skis poles ? I think most of them are hollow and bend when you look at them wrong
Switched to boarding pretty early so probably never had the bindings set hard enough. But have broken a few boards since the bindings aren't meant to come loose at all, unless you just rip them out of the threads or break the straps.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
