    My experiemce of Macs is that 4gb ram and an ssd is massively faster than 8-16gb ram and a spinnjng hdd for example

    Beaten to it. Silicone sealant/based glue should work well.

    Well, either the wheel/brake is off or the frame is. And if the back of the frame’s outta whack then that would also affect the gearing, no?

    Can you push the mech over the cassette into 1st with your thumb? It’s not a cable tension/indexing thing?

    IIRC those floating discs are “too wide” [outta spec] around the expansion rivets. If that’s what’s catching I’d not worry about alignment, I’d just file a little off the adapter [but have a google first to see if it’s the same amount as others have done].

    Drill it.

    Or just use half the spokes – think of the aero!

    For me, high coffee intake seems to cause shooting pains.

    However, if it’s getting into bed that’s causing it, I’d guess it’s the action. Why not try the getting-in maneuver in another way, say from the other side, or the other direction so as not to perform the same movements?

    Every now and then I get a shooting pain the rissole, makes me sit bolt upright.

    Last time it happened in a classroom while I was talking to someone, I had to find an excuse PDQ, heh.

    OP- do you drink a lot of coffee?

    That was more of a bug wasn’t it? Only for a very few people. Whereas this is now a default for many other I think.

    Suggestion for sourcing a bike – marktplaats.nl

    Bikes permeate the culture. *autotranslate*

    Jump on my luggage rack, on the back of my bike
    I don’t know yet where we’ll go together,
    But I don’t care at all.
    Just jump on the back, then we’ll leave together
    I don’t know yet where we’ll go , but that doesn’t matter
    Because I know the way.

    [Only chorus translation quite correct]

    Suggestion – real Dutch Marques:
    Gazelle*, Sparta, Union, Multicycle**, Batavus, Koga Miyata***

    These things just run and run and run. They’re extremely reliable, equipped with all the things you need to stay dry, illuminated and comfortable. There’s a good reason the entire Dutch population ride. IIRC There’s more bikes than people here 😀

    NB – the geo, gearing and weight may not suit hilly areas.

    *Pronounced with a “ghuh”
    **I work for Multicycle. Though I don’t honestly know how many you’ll find in the UK, they’re really high quality, and usually the lightest of the brands listed.
    ***Slightly Japanese, lol

    Another vote for alignment issues, or pivot slop.

    2 many dj’s Dolly Parton vs Royskopp or Destiny’s Child vs 10cc. As the youth would say, “nuff said”.

    Actually, this is nearly the correct answer. The correct answer is the full album of supermashups this comes from: As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2…which isn’t available on YT :/

    Find it. It is basically *THE* party.

    EDIT – PT.1 [Which mostly sounds like an alternative mix] *is* available

    Some of the Reel Big Fish titles make me chuckle:

    …and considering the “selling out” controversy, it was right on the money.

    Notwithstanding the above, if you’re going to mention the dangers of smoking grass, I’d be very keen to also point out how “legal highs” (fake weed) is much much much more dangerous.

    Seriously, that shit has messed-up EVERYONE who I know who used it.

    As ex employee, yes their disc brake “cleaner” is awful.

    Yeah, but the Yeti folk also insist their rear triangles are “not gonna break, they’re sorted now”, and have done for the preceding 10 years.

    If you can strap the Pi to the bike, can’t you use a linear sensor of some kind…. Would be simpler. Otherwise, HD video and stickers with figures/scale and then video analysis of some sort, perhaps with a bigger machine though.

    Sorry, going back to the sound of Californication, is it the mastering/manufacturing that’s wrecked the sound? I always figured it’s a mixing issue (everything is soooo hot it crackles) and blamed Rubin. However he recently did Music for Men* which sounds as clean as my bibshorts before an epic ride (clean).

    The first Imagine Dragons album is the next candidate for “worst sound”, the waveforms look like somebody used an Adobe Illustrator path filter on them.

    As for the albums, I confess I’ve not heard anything after By The Way from end to end, but that’s because everything I have heard, which is plenty because they’re so popular now, sounds EXACTLY the same – melodic self-satisfied boring repetitive weak and very very ” by the numbers”. So, IMHO, they went through utter hell and from this comes a variety of differing, energetic sounds with pain, love, loss, party funk and lots of drugs…all the better for it. Californication sounded like they’d just opened their eyes to what they had become, and the reflection drove a sweeter side to the sound and the combination was very good. After that they just decended into twaddle. I heard Stadium Arcadium was nearly a triple album, they couldn’t figure how to cut it down. Jesus, yak, point proven…. They’ve got no idea how tired it all is now.

    *If you like RHCP you might well like this. Not that it’s quite the same thing, but it is excellent. Imagine Dragons, however are tosh of the highest order.
