I love some knipex. I've also had great luck with Icon tools. It's harbor freight's knock off versions of snap on, knipex, etc. They're built good, i abuse them and they keep going. And they have a lifetime warranty. Haven't tried the icon ratchets but I hear good things there too

I think it worked, I trust that guy more than some clean hands. He's busted a knuckle before

Thank you for the ideas! I wanted something slightly more purpose built, but your head's in the right place

uh oh, sounds like the hurricanes are gaining sentience

I buy mine from the bulk store bc it's like the same price for 500 pills vs 30 from a normal drug store. I never finish them before the expiration, but whatever

You've got a pretty standard road bike that comes stock with 25mm tires. The rims are less of a concern than the frame/fork/brake caliper clearance. I'd be surprised if you fit larger than a 28mm tire on there, maybe a 30mm if you're okay with some rub (which you shouldn't be okay with).

Don't bother getting new rims/wheels for this bike, it won't change clearance issues (and the 200+ price of any decent wheelset is gonna be a lot better toward a new ride). Try finding some 28mm gravel-style tires, or a different bike.

I'm not gonna let the intruder in my home (who keeps hitting me) stay there because I refuse to break my lamp over his head.

Russians in Ukraine is a much larger threat than less shrubbery.

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.

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?
