Based off all that, I'd run the 18-32. Besides, assuming you're not buying in bulk, and you're not doing rural bike-packing, then getting a flat or other mechanical won't be too catastrophic or costly. Try em out a lil, and report back on how you like them :)

I usually recommend people run the larger size tube. If it's not too big to install, then it will stretch less and be slightly more puncture resistant.

However, why are you getting into TPU? If it's for weight or rolling resistance, then definitely run the smaller tube.

I don't like using tubes on the end of their spectrum; just bc the box says it'll fit, doesn't mean it always will. Surely there's another brand of tubes with a better size range? That's my best answer tbh.

(Are tpu extra stretchy? 18-32 is a crazy range by butyl standards)

Zyn is growing quick in popularity. Them and other nicotine pouches very well may be taking some of the market.

You sleep on your side and stomach and use the same amount of pillow for both?? Stomach definitely needs the least amount of cushion, except for people who use no pillow I guess. And side sleeping has an entire shoulder's width of support to make up for. Totally different positions, you need an arsenal of pillows to really dial in the ergonomics.

The ikea hot dog kinda sucks tbh. And size-wise, I dont think 2 of them equal a costco hot dog anyway.

Now, their veggie dog? That goes way too hard. It comes with toppings like mustard, pickled cabbage, and crispy onions. 2-4 of those things will fill you up cheap. Don't sleep on it, and don't judge it by its looks.

This is an interesting point I haven't seen before. I think I agree, but only after suicide for medical patients is legal. And also, what about people not in a life sentence (whether a shorter sentence or someone not incarcerated)? Should they have any legal outlet?

Is there a difference between wanting to kill yourself and not wanting to live through a life sentence?

No body really confidently said. Yes, the direction matters, the arrow should point in the forward direction, if situated at the top of the tire. If there is a front/rear labeling, their respective arrows differ based on being mounted on the front or rear wheel.

That said, if you're not an avid cyclist, you'll likely not notice incorrect mounting. I wanted to find a lil something to help me better explain, but this post goes into pretty much all major aspects of tire direction all by itself. Here on MTBR

Lots to unpack, let's hit the big ones. Do any means justify peace? Is mass murder of entire countries okay because it would result in less overall friction afterward? How long does peace need to last after for it to make it worth it?

Displacement. Is it fair to the people who have lived in a country for generations to leave because of other's actions? Moreso, many of them currently /want/ to leave (really really bad) but can't, what should they do? And also, how is that fair to neighboring countries, they're just required to take in refugees because Israel wants more land? (What if there weren't neighboring countries?)

Finally, (please educate me), are universities very invested in Syrian companies/industries? That's what the current protests are about, divestment from Israel. Are you required to care about all atrocities in order to care for one? What line marks which bad things in the world protesters should inclusively be knowledgeable about?

The eradication of millions of civilians is definitely anti-peace.

A similar situation would be the US joining WW2 on the Axis side. I mean once Britain, France, Russia, China, and the Jews were finished off, there'd be peace for a while right?

Ponder what unconditional support for Israel would mean for Palestinians in our current landscape.

Few years ago Texas required 'In God we Trust' signs to be displayed in classrooms. Schools weren't allowed to pay for them, so basically donated. They conveniently rejected the signs that had a rainbow on it, or the one written in Arabic.

Apparently, the average citizen pays about a half million in taxes in a lifetime. So this means 15 people spent their entire life being honest taxpayers, so these cops could be a piece of shit.

Glad the family got paid at least. Wild that in 2020 these cops didn't have cams yet; not exactly a rural area.

 

I love ratchet straps, but I can't seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line).

Ideally I would find some ratchets with a compact hook profile, and extra short portion of strap between the hook and ratchet. But also perhaps some kind of hook on a threaded rod and a coupling system that allows for slight bends?

It needs to be a removable solution, but it doesn't have to be quick or easy to remove. In fact a lockable or tool-neccesary solution would be slightly ideal.

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm trying to clamp a camper shell to a truck bed. I'd like to keep the bed liner, which means I can't use use the bed rails w/o cutting 4 holes into the liner. This leaves the 4 bed anchor points on each corner. Based off current responses, I'm probably looking at some rope system.
