Since you don’t want to shift the front gear while under pressure I try to shift it first before a big hill. But planning ahead is the only reason to pick one or the other of your overlapping combinations.
Here’s a tool to visualize gear ratios that I found interesting https://mike-sherman.github.io/shift/
I also use this combination, that way I can even lock my seat and helmet if I want. And the wire lock means I can always lock it around something, even if the only option is like a thick tree.
Something not mentioned in the video is that you want to use the smallest U-lock you can.
This is because one of the easiest ways of defeating a U-lock is to use either leverage or a jack to force it open. But for that to work there usually needs to be extra space inside the loop. If the lock is snug around the bike and post it’s hard to get a tool in there, or to manipulate the frame into a position where it can be used for leverage.
It might be tempting to get a large U-lock to make it easier to lock it to things, but you should know that’s a trade off for security.
It’s available here as well. But at 50 eurodollars less, for half the VRAM, it’s not a card anyone should ever get.
I looked strictly at 16 GB versions as the 8 GB should not exist.
I wasn’t sure if US listings actually included some kind of sales tax without saying so, if not, the card is actually cheaper here 🥹 (before taxes).
$250 in 2016 would be $335 today. A 16 GB 9060 costs $370 which is only 10% higher. So prices are getting reasonable; after having been completely outrageous the past few years.
Now these are US prices. But the 9060 is available in Sweden for $435 eqv. which is really not bad.
Repeating what they heard is very different from automatically processing the chat to harvest personal information about the participants.
Just because some data is publicly available doesn’t mean all processing of that data is legal and moral.
You’re both getting side-tracked by this discussion of recording. The recording is likely legal in most places.
It’s the processing of that unstructured data to extract and store personal information that is problematic. At that point you go from simply recording a conversation of which you are a part, to processing and storing people’s personal data without their knowledge, consent, or expectation.

Aluminium smelting is so energy intensive that Iceland, a country with a population of less than 400 000, is the world’s 12th largest producer of it, even though the raw materials aren’t mined there. Iceland just has cheap geothermal and hydroelectric power.
In the real world there is no entirely reasonable code base. There’s always going to be some aspects of it that are kind of shit, because you intended to do X but then had to change to doing Y, and you have not had time or sufficient reason to properly rewrite everything to reflect that.
We tend to underestimate how long things will take, precisely because when we imagine someone doing them we think of the ideal case, where everything is reasonable and goes well. Which is pretty much guaranteed to not be the case whenever you do anything complex.
Why does the lock, faucet and shades run on batteries to begin with? They aren’t portable devices, just spend a few minutes running a damn cable and you never have to care about power ever again.
The coolest thing about this IR laser is the very cyberpunk things a hacker might do with it.
I run Michelin Country Rock as a hybrid tire. Anything that’s not knobbly is going to be a huge upgrade on pavement.
You also don’t need to run the same tires on both wheels. Having a slicker tire in the back can make sense as you put more weight on it, and slipping with the back wheel is a nuisance, while slipping with the front is often a disaster. So you could start off just swapping the rear. That way if it doesn’t work out, you also spent only half the money :)
Lastly I’d want to share that I really disliked those wheels that are knobbly along the edges. Leaning over when taking a curve at speed, and suddenly transitioning from smooth to vibrating was very unsettling to me.
