Some people just hate their family so much that they’d rather be working 80 hours a week, and go through great lengths to justify it.

Carbon is not a good choice for a commuter bike. If you’ve got it locked up and someone else’s bike falls onto yours, the frame could be toast.

Wind chills reached minus 36 Fahrenheit (minus 38 Celsius) that night in January 2022 as the family from India set out on foot to meet a waiting van.

Someone didn’t want them to survive.

… this means cutting corners on environmental assessments for the last vestiges of rural land in the GTA. The proposed route is set to raze 2,000 acres of farmland, pave 400 acres of Greenbelt land in Northern Vaughan, and disrupt 220 wetlands.

Wanting to make his buddies rich aside, the destruction of this land is by far the most insidious part of his plan. This is land we will never get back if it’s turned into another highway.

I wish the “Con” in Conservative meant “Conservation” rather than “con job”!

Not really surprising when all food is so processed and pumped full of all kinds of bullshit, from high fructose corn syrup to preservatives to you name it.

No. I refuse to blame those foods for people being fat.

I’m an amateur endurance cyclist, and during peak summer riding, I can eat junk food all day (literally from 5 am to midnight, multiple times an hour) and still end up in a calorie deficit.

It’s actually really hard to gain weight when you’re active, and those junk foods are very common with anyone who does endurance sports (or really any sport that requires high-calorie input over a sustained period). This is why sports nutrition products are basically pure sugar with some electrolytes sprinkled in there.

The problem is that people are eating junk food (jet fuel for our bodies) as if they were athletes. If you’re sitting on your ass all day and pounding back 4000 calories of junk food, yeah, you’re going to be fat.

Now, are those healthy foods? Absolutely not. But if you view food as fuel and nutrition, you can have a healthy relationship with “junk food”, too.

Please, someone uninstall this version of the game!

My guess is pressure-cooking, specifically with an instant pot (which is near BIFL).

Brilliant! That worked!

If we do, this virus will make covid look like child’s play, apparently.

From the Lectric site:

“Every XPedition 2.0 purchase is backed by a full U.S. customer service base and a 1-year warranty.”

I honestly can’t take any vehicle company seriously if they warranty their vehicles as if they were a children’s toy.

Such a bummer.

For sure, a belt drive aluminium bike would be way easier to manage. I’ve got to work with what I have.

I finished coating the inside of my steel frame for the second year. No signs of internal rust when I inspected it, except for the bridge of the chainstay.

For some reason, my fender doesn’t cover this hole, so wheel spray goes directly into it. 🤔

Replaced all bolts with SS, packed marine grease in front of any bearings, and made sure that all rustable parts have either a bit of oil or grease on them.

hot waxed chain with no drip wax ever and a bottle of 99% isopropyl that I use to flash off the water.

Can you elaborate? This will be my first year with waxed chains, and your method seems interesting.

Do you just wipe the waxed chain off after returning home, then hit it with 99% isopropyl alcohol?

How many km between immersion waxes?

None of these are problems that prevent me from riding in the winter.

The biggest issue I have with winter riding, by a long shot, is road salt. I hate the fact that riding in the winter, even once, means that I’m ruining my bike somehow because of road salt. If not for that, I’d be out nearly as often as I would during the warmer months.

This was one of the rare times I installed a firmware update without waiting. They even sent an email telling me how urgent it was to get my NAS patched.

To that note, anyone have any idea how to get Hyper Backup to stop telling me that my backups are “partial” because Video Station is no longer found? It’s not even on the list of apps, but tells me that it’s been disabled as an option to back up because it’s not available. Annoying!

I can vouch for Mailbox, too.

It’s also easy to get it set up on third part email clients.

Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing “choose your country”, cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

Compared to something like the FF extension “SingleFile”, I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

I think it’s fair to say that there are a lot of cases that can be expedited without the need to drag them along.

The problem with our current justice system (at least in its current state) is that it HIGHLY favours criminals.

Rapists walking free, drunk drivers getting their fourth or fifth “warning”, people being arrested for crimes while breaching a previous court order, people murdering cyclists and getting off with a minor traffic ticket, etc.

With more judges, a more efficient process, and more Crown prosecutors, hopefully things will move along more quickly. That won’t happen unless our government gets their priorities straight.

Either way, victims should always come first; society second; criminals last.

It has more about the courts not having enough judges or enough rooms to process every trial than the police.

Maybe we should get rid of court buildings and do everything virtually. If you’ve even been to a court, 90% of the time is basically wasted for everyone involved, simply due to how slow things are when you are in a physical building.

If we don’t modernize our justice system, we’ll never have enough judges or rooms to prosecute every criminal.

Maybe Dougie wants to explain why he’s able to find money to rip out existing bike lanes, or to build a FUCKING TUNNEL UNDER THE 401, but not have enough to make sure that our justice system moves as the speed of crime.

Kind of sucks that they have to do it indoors in November.

The one in Toronto is done outdoors while it’s still warm, and the atmosphere is way more festive than an indoor venue.
