Oh, so that's why its always quicker going through the back-streets but Google sends me through the clogged arteries like I'm Sheeple?

Makes sense, I guess. I'll probably keep doing it even though it is a bit of a dick move

Plus, you can leave it in awkward places as a trap!

Thanks, that's got me thinking

Seems like FM/AM (did anyone do one of those?) Would be cool too

Some people just can't be pleased, lol

Would that be for a direct input from an instrument, say?

I ink it really depends, to be honest.

I know I get a bit grim with winter reducing activities. What is impossible to tease out is just how much of this is weather changing with time zone.

I ink what matters most is the population centres and how they're affected - my thinking is if most of the population is grouped in places that benefit from being 'more livable' because they're not as dark and damp through ones daily experiences, then it'd be worth keeping.

I live in NZ and think itd be great here, but we're quite far from the equator, so get a lot of dawn and dusk (I feel like it would have a big affect here, and in my perspective, it would be broadly positive for _most folks _). It's shocking how much of an improvement DST makes in just the basic liveability - by the weather has generally been subtly improving for a few weeks as well, which completely waters down my argument

And to be fair, her kid is about 18 months, im guessing?

Or have I dropped a year or two in my calculations?

Nice rule (sh.itjust.works)
 

Auth plz

 

Riding into work yesterday, somehow while upshifting my chain slipped off the smallest cog onto the frame and hopped off the jockey wheel in the derailleur - all very drastic, but it suggests to me the derailleur twisted?

Historically getting down out of the 9th or 10th gear would need 'a little extra thumb' past the shifters click, that now seems to be the case for the top few gears - but the rest of the 11 speed cluster works great still

Does this sound more like I've worn the cogs somehow or twisted / bent the derailleur?

If it was bent, I thought it would affect all shifting...

It's a shimano HG 11 speed with their reasonably recent chain that's supposed to be really long lasting (possibly intended for e bikes? Mines an old analog, mojo geometron)

I should really double check what the parts are (being a Muppet), and get a photo of the alignment, but I'd love to be able to something on my own before wheeling it into the LBS

 

This is a phenomenal (but short) album, has anyone got other equivalent they're sleeping on?

bandcamp

It's very proggy, which I love, but also very heavy. Super-tasteful use (sparse!) of blast beats, etc

 

A sign for cyclists indicating to perform a hook turn with graffiti "abolish all forms of government"

Dunno why, it just seemed funny

 

I just skimmed through the leaflets and realized they got almost as many as lab/nat.

Who do they think they're fooling?

 

I'm delighted about the chance of this even happening. I'm under no illusions, however after the abortive duopoly review of our supermarkets. But this isn't comcom and had a clearer harm to the community, so maybe it'll happen?

God, I'd love to see it revoked entirely, but maybe there'll be some clearer oversight...

The company said it had invested significantly in systems to maintain the highest standards of host responsibility best practice, and prioritised minimising the impacts associated with problem gambling.

As. If.

 

With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...

Thoughts?

 

I've been starting to play around with rct2 and am amazed at some of the dense examples I've seen - this game is really deep!

I'm still using the premade rollercoasters (honestly, just getting the pathing right for them is complex enough!!) and am really struggling to get the ramps to connect without massive amounts of stuffing around. I've only just realised with the elevated ones I can have the path coming off them remaining elevated which tends to help with the pathway / track collisions, but I'm not even sure how I did it!

I hate sitting through mindnumbing YouTube videos as typically they're completely uninsightful (rct2 might be a different situation, I suppose, especially being a beginner), I feel like jumping in and learning as I went might've been a mistake...

Are there some tips I'm missing and how the hell am I supposed to see the entrances and plan the paths without buying the coaster and hoping it going to work? (I've rebought the same thing several times when I can't get it working!)

Cheers

 

So I've got some rusty old floor screws that I can't loosen with a Phillips head (they're old, so I'm betting it's not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all.

If I drill them out, I know I'm in for a hard time but am I better off going for a really fast rotation or slower?

And should I start with a narrow drill bit and work my way up (historically I've broken a few doing this in the past) or just begin at the intended diameter?

Yes, in fact I do work with computers - isn't it obvious?

I've hidden this 'cos it's a dupe and the other has more accurate conversation

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

 

I'm curious what other folks are doing pressure-wise.

I'm fairly lightweight (70kg, possibly after lunch? With back pack and water, who knows? I usually carry extra tools, etc...), and run 2.6" 27.5/650b tires.

Rear is around 20psi, but it's tubeless so I generally catch it once it's slipped down to 15 or 17 after a few weeks :). I've just realized I'm not even sure what the tire is, but it's a maxxis brand, so probably actually 2.4" wide compared to most other companies - not much clearance on my Intense Recluse

My front is usually about 18psi, on a specialized 2.6" somethingorother (pretty sure it's not a butcher)

 

So, I spent most of the day troubleshooting a website that drastically slows down when 'a browser looks at it funny'...

Usually it behaves fine - it's not the volume of requests, my teammates think it's something about the kind of requests. But they're struggling to get the logging properly configured.

I'm an EUC engineer (p.o.s. website requires IE11 and ActiveX controls - yay healthcare!), so mostly helping on the sidelines, but I'm looking for some 'supportive' suggestions...
