Leangains worked pretty well for me, as a way to maintain the amount of weight you can lift while losing body fat. Depends if you can handle 18 hours of no food every day, but it’s pretty easy to get used to if you can stick it for the first week or two.

Leangains.com has all the information you need to give it a go, there are some good macro calculators about online too to help guide what to eat. (Best to just read the site in roughly reverse chronological order)

Cheese and peanut butter sarnie, best made with some proper mature cheddar for a sour edge.

Is this wha you’re looking for?

Also, although it might sound stupid, are you installing the axle with the wheel in? I find there’s a lot of thread showing on my pikes if I tighten the axle right up when replacing it without the wheel in (which I have to do when I take the wheel out or I’d definitely forget to take the axle with me).

Motorola mobile phones. Nearly stock android with only genuinely useful things added. I’ll keep buying them for as long as they stay that way.

Hiddlestone next, then John Boyega

I live in Bogotá at the moment and my girlfriend is from here. Most of the above is true, apart from this:

Try not to eat the arepas though they are vile

First, not eating the arepas in Colombia is like not eating the bread in France. Second, there are about 30 different types, so finding one type vile doesn’t mean they all are. Try arepas Boyacense, they are a bit sweeter than most.

Also, if you have any free time at the right moment do the Bogotá bike tour, they will take you around the must-see parts of the centre, to a tejo (explosive boules) place, to a coffee roastery and to taste fruit you’ve never heard of. The bikes are crap though 😆

I think the time difference is why she could consent to the earlier sex (with McDonald) but not to the sex with Evans, coupled with the fact that blood alcohol content continues to rise after you stop drinking.

(Quoting myself) It turns out I was wrong in this as apparently the opinion of the court for the first conviction is that she was unable to consent to either of them.

It can be enough that if the jury conclude that the first accused did believe that she consented but the second accused did not believe that she consented, then one is not guilty and the other guilty

This seems to be the point of law that has led to the difference in the two verdicts. McDonald had reason to believe she had consented , even thought the court found she was unable to. Evans had no good reason to believe the same.

I think the time difference is why she could consent to the earlier sex (with McDonald) but not to the sex with Evans, coupled with the fact that blood alcohol content continues to rise after you stop drinking.

The analogy I always think of in this case is if you meet lovely Sheila in a bar, and she invites you back to a hotel for sex, you say yes, and the last thing you remember is having lovely intercourse with lovely Sheila. In the morning, you wake up next to 30 stone Betty. Sheila says “I invited Betty round later on, you seemed alright with it at the time”. Would you be alright with it? If you wouldn’t be fine with that happening, you must necessarily conclude that Ched Evans is guilty.

If you find that analogy too subtle, replace Betty with Barry.

Definitely a bit late now (sorry different time zone), but next time this happens get down to the jam house. Walkable from new st easily, nearly always got some sort of live music on.

Cholula is my go-to, and encona hot pepper for cheese on toast. I’ve also usually got some sort of chipotle sauce around but no particular brand, best sourced from latin american food shops.

I’ve unfortunately got no expertise that can help, but I do have a question: why the hardware? Many mobile phones have accelerometers, gyroscopes etc built in already, so why aren’t you just building an app?

I do agree that more accurate measurements of bike angle (fore-aft during a climb for example) as well as altitude would be good for performance analysis, but I don’t see what would stop Strava for example adding it to their app using existing smartphone sensors if there was a market for it.

Lichfield is nice for bars and restaurants, about 20-30 mins drive from Cannock chase trails, rideable distance to the edge of the chase itself if you’re after more natural stuff. Train links to Brum for bigger shopping trips, good motorway links for the rest of the country.

If you’re looking for work in manufacturing have you thought about the car companies?

If anyone’s looking for super cheap we paid less than 70€ for 2 weekend nights at the ibis budget. It’s about 10 or 15 minutes to most of the central stuff on the metro and is near the Rayo Vallecano stadium so should be some good bars for watching footy around.

I’ve no experience of racing, but could it be as simple as tyre choice? Maybe the faster guys figured they’d gain more on stage 1 running full-on mud tyres than they’d lose on the more downhill stages later.

If you’re not an aficionado, why on earth do you own a £200+ coffee machine?

[sarcasm]I know! You could buy a car for that![/sarcasm]

Coffee machines are like bikes…

STW throws up some strange euphemisms from time to time, but this one takes the biscuit.

My only issue, my right thumb is aching from shifting the travel adjust lever so much. Any way to relieve that tension a bit?

Jerome Clementz uses a grip shift to actuate his on his EWS Jekyll. Planet X have an x0 one for 15 quid at the minute:

I’ve just ordered one for my Jekyll 4.

I have a different view to most in that I feel that we should all be treated the same tax wise in the percentage that we pay, not very popular I know, but I don’t understand why anyone should have to pay a higher rate of tax if they are fortunate to earn more as they pay more in anyway.

It’s all about disposable income. If someone earns enough to pick up £1000 per month after tax but spends £900 per month on rent and bills, they have £100 disposable income. With a flat tax system, someone earning 3x as much would pick up £3000 per month. Even if they spent £2000 per month on a big house nice car etc they’d still have 10x as much disposable income as the lower paid worker. In a progressive system, they would only pick up (for example) £2500, so would still have 5x as much disposable income as a lower paid worker, despite their work only being valued 3x higher by the labour market.

tldr; cost of living doesn’t rise proportionately with income, so the higher paid actually have much more spare cash than the lower paid.

There is a 26×2.0 exo beaver, but it comes with 120 tpi casing instead of 60 tpi for the 2.25 so may be a little more flexible.

One I was thinking about the other day, how do you pronounce Topeak?

Like the verb “to peak”?
Like “toe-peak”?
Like “top-eek”?

BTW Persil has been pronounced like that (with the emphasis on the last syllable) for years, but with a throatier R, as it’s French for parsley.

Narrow, light 29er tyres for soft conditions? 2.0 Maxxis Beavers, 560g tubeless ready or 600g exo. Even the cheapo wire bead versions are only 620g with the same compound, I run them front and rear all winter. There’s also a 2.25 that only comes in exo flavour if you want a fatter one for the front.

I’ve got the Hario, although it’s great I would say it’s aimed at the home espresso market and seems to be the go-to hand grinder recommended on espresso forums (which is why I got it). Apparently the grind size consistency falls off as you go for bigger sizes. So if you’re using it for espresso, go for it, otherwise go for one of the suggestions above.

87 Grand*

*Colombian pesos. So about 18 quid.

In my experience the automatic bean-to-cup machines are fine if you’re not bothered enough about the taste to learn to make espresso on a real machine. Think Starbucks quality rather than independent hipster coffee shop quality.

Top work subtly baiting the IT lot on here with the capital W.

In that case: any plans to eventually introduce a 240 hub option for the retail wheelset?

I was going to ask if DT-specific drilling meant that a lighter build on 240 hubs was possible, but seeing as even the prototypes are on 350s I imagine that’s a no…

Can I have “Stand on our own two feet” please?

Don’t know about Strong, but Hola works as a Chrome plugin and works perfectly in France, the US and Colombia to watch iPlayer. There have been reports that it works like a botnet that users are willingly signed up to though…

A qualified coach worth anything at all would not put someone with back problems straight into DLs and squats without some assessment and very likely core strengthening first.

Are you seriously saying they wouldn’t let someone put an empty 20kg bar on their back for a squat or use 5kg bumpers for a 30kg deadlift if they thought they had a weak core? That’s an eye-opener to me (I’m neither qualified nor have any experience with physios etc). How does this person go about their daily life? Are they banned from using back packs, picking up shopping etc?

These are genuine questions btw. Were you talking more about people with serious back injury and not just feeling like they need to improve core strength like the OP?

Just remember to go through the upgrade process first even if you’re planning on a clean install of W10 from a USB. That way the PC will be registered on Microsoft’s servers as legit and will then automatically re-authenticate online after any clean install.

If you can get hold of some Picon Biere, or know someone coming back from France soon who can bring you some, stick that in it. Tastes like bitter marmalade. It’s what my dad does after every Christmas when he buys in a load of cheap lager for family parties and then I buy him a bottle of Picon to get rid of the surplus.

I work for EDF. If I had to pick one of the stations to work at it’d be Heysham, it’s the closest to civilisation by quite a bit (by which I mean Lancaster, not Morecambe). Also commutable from the lakes if that’s more your thing. If open to relocating from the North West there’s also the two Scottish sites and new build stuff in Bristol or North Somerset.

I’ve found people in other countries find it incredibly strange that no Brits know their blood type. These tend to be countries where they have compulsory national ID, so everyone’s blood type is on there and it’s used as a trusted source in emergencies, presumably because the likelihood of an error in the test used to get you ID is about the same as in a test in the hospital.

Here in Colombia the test is offered by pretty much any medical centre, and costs about 2 quid.

I’ve got a spare bit of pipe you can have if you can get hold of a plank somewhere

Got to factor in the inevitable cost of building a pump track on the included land too…

any of these? http://www.whosampled.com/Thelma-Houston/Don%27t-Leave-Me-This-Way/sampled/
