That's proper mental, I don't know why you'd keep that running unnecessarily (unless fiddling with something you can easily replicate).

Im pretty sure it's still not going to catch the stuck things that aren't actually killable

Your replies have been so good, I'm bumping this whole thread.

Fucking A grade internet fight, lads - don't stop now!

No I love it - that's why we're here.

I learned something today and hope to gently explain it to my degenerating/conservative father (but let's not get into that kettle of fustercluck!)

If anyone else is struggling, this reasonably basic article helped me https://sciencenotes.org/genotype-vs-phenotype-definitions-and-examples/

Thanks for 'coming out' about it. Without doxing yourself too heavily, would you mind to share more about the industry in particular or measurement of these practises? Dip you know if it was common (and when was this?)

I know for sure that we can't trust companies to act in our best interests (if anything, its a hostile relationship), but I guess I'm curious about your inside perspective. Has that jaded you much at all?

Funny the fictions we contrive for ourselves in our own heads.

There's a real need to get ones world view/beliefs and the insecurities and inner critics in line in order to survive it seems.

That's my latest conclusion, anyway. Distraction and drinking haven't really helped. Shocking, I know...

John Deere more like!

Really? That was insane!

We never got a follow up, either...

Damn, I forgot about that one

Maybe save the oreos for the last slice?

I totally sympathise, but like goatse, I kinda have to try it for myself to see what all the fuss is about.

I made it my flat mates wallpaper once - that was NOT appreciated. I was a dick in my 20s, it seems

This is great and amazing. We are our own worst enemies with the absence of rigour we apply...

 

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?

 

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?
