Hyperreality
- Manhole covers are not heavy as fuck. They're meant to be able to lift out. I've lifted far larger ones than this no problem.
- This manhole cover is at most 30x30cm judging by OP's foot, so weights at most a few kilos.
- This is a small cover, probably covering a drain, not a hole to the centre of the earth. I have a few around the house. Cable tie, piece of string, lift it out no problem. You lift and slide it aside, it's not going to fall in unless you're a complete moron or drunk. If it does fall in, you pull it out, because it doesn't weigh 100 kg.
- If you're worried that this would take your finger off, you're the kind of person who should hire an electrician to change a light bulb.
Don't be lazy.
Get a cable tie or some tongs, pull it out, rotate it, done.
Less effort than it took to take this picture and post it on here.
Not if you go through old.reddit.

It's weird how much the media still cover twitter, given how increasingly niche it's become.
Also seems quite high. I did a google and apparently it's half the number and closer to 300 million.
- AFAIK 60km/h let alone 60mph e-bikes aren't road legal in the Netherlands. 60mph is something like 95km/h. To give you an idea, most motorways are 100km/h in the Netherlands. To drive something that fast you'd need a full motorcycle license, insurance, etc.
- Certainly they're not allowed on cycle paths.
- Even if they were, Amsterdam has a citywide speed limit of 30km/h. That's under 20mp/h.
Yeah.
This is why I bought myself some blink cameras. Obviously, privacy is shit (and I've factored this) and you're affectively forced to pay for use their cloud service, but at least the (initial) purchase price is cheap.
But I've 'bought' cameras for far more, only for them to hobble functionality a few years down the line. And they've had vulnerabilities or whatever.
For the sensitive stuff, I have a camera with an SD card, but obviously phone notifications is a big selling point of systems like this.
It says it'll be free for Window 365 users. Ie. 70 bucks and that includes office.
Obviously it's not great, but it's better than adobe.
Windows 95 cost two hundred 30 years ago.
Keep it on the old 1TB hdd and buy a sata to usb cable or usb conversion kit?
It's not even slightly strange. These are incredibly common all across Europe and the world.
It's a small cover, almost certainly to service the nearby drainpipe or perhaps for the water or gas connection to a house.
The chance of it falling in the hole is zero unless you're trying to do it on purpose. Lift and slide, done.
And even if it does fall in, you can simply reach in and pull it out.
