Yes, one round late. But some past votes they did were decisive in my vote this year.

Thank you for letting me know it was possible on an M1. I'll try all this now.

By any chance, do you have a good link to some help with the installation?

I experienced acute lower back pain after walking for 30+ minutes. I searched the whole internet to find a solution but only found advice saying, "if you have back pain, walk!" which was ironic since my pain occurred while walking. Then it dawned on me: I sit most of the day, cycle a lot, and drive my car, but I wasn't walking regularly. Now, I walk the dog for 40 minutes a few days a week, and the pain has disappeared!

Oxford Flash cards have a good take on spaced repetition.

They provide actual cards, you can use the old way.

Or you can then take a picture of them using their free app Scribzee, and review them digitally too. My son just aced his anatomy exam with them.

Didn't they ask you for your boarding pass? Far fetched, but it could be the reason they didn't ask you anything at the airport.

windguru which is in part or fully based on crowd-sourced weather stations is already surprisingly accurate few days in advance, in many regions I tried. For a few hours forecast nothing beats the rain radar. I wonder if they have already or will put some AI in their models.

In my previous service company, we aimed for 10%, which was considered the norm. However, we were particularly bad at achieving this, with only 8-9%, though we did have a good atmosphere and happy employees

When I began building bikes 10 years ago, Sheldon's site was already like an old book in the library.

It was a reference for older topics, such as recently when I needed to understand the internal workings of a Sturmey Archer hub to fix one.

However, it hasn't been of much help for the new developments from the past 15 years since his passing.

While less organized and sometimes messy, YouTube and many other sites can answer any bike mechanic question. Even ChatGPT generally provides good answers

If you like to tinker, buy a frame from Decathlon. Install a Bafang motor. Get Onirii MT4 brakes. Both are available on AliExpress. Use a 200mm front disc and 180 rear disc. Get a wheelset with a Sturmey-Archer hub, or normal wheels with a robust Shimano 9-speed transmission. And you have a very decent e-bike for around 1600€

To make it slightly more complex, some are true
