From the manual: > This bicycle is powered by a belt drive, which is a rustproof, durable and maintenance-free alternative to a regular chain. Seems like it's a similar but different system to produce the same outcome. It also says

Waves broadcast at the beginning of 2013 would only reach 4LY out. For a radio signal to travel 2.5 billion light years it would need to have travelled for 2.5 billion years since radio waves travel at the speed of light.

Both are quite similar although CK2 is definitely easier to learn how to play. It's far more geared around interpersonal relationships than EU4 which I've always found more compelling.

Personally I would recommend Crusader Kings 2 as a good intro to the deeper grand strategies. It's more limited in scope regarding time frame however there's far more detail and politics involved.

Taking no action isn't the same as not being present though. The outcome might be the same but since you were able to change it you are a part of the system and by not acting you have imposed your will on the system, it's just tha

A running average of the latest <x> posts/submissions would be a better way to show the current most popular users. However I feel a better metric than popularity, which is all karma really is, might be some way of tracking influ

There's actually a built in Top Users page on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders Although it's by Karma rather than by front-page reaching skill, so it's a different metric really. It's odd that it

Well the assumption is that the old salaries reflected what you were worth to the company. So bringing those who were previously compensated as 'less important' up to the same as the 'more important' people implies that

Or you could all chip in together and have one big party for all the kids where everyone gets a present? It'd probably end up being cheaper for each parent but overall be a better party.

I also used Pingdom to keep my Heroku apps alive, although I found it annoying having a separate free account on pingdom for every site and recently swapped over to StatusCake ( https://www.statuscake.com ). Whilst you're rig

Well based on their support system I would be surprised if they were opposed to sending out automated messages on principle. From what I've heard however the emails may have been answerable/seen by non-support within the company m

I've been interested in Patreon for a while. Do you think there is a space on it for people running websites? I've only ever seen it used by webcomic artists.

My problem with the argument of moving everything into an addon is that I don't care for installing 13 addons with no permissions list (in firefox at least) and no way to keep them away from my browsing activity.

I've also been really interested in using one ever since reading about them last year. Seems like it'd be a good Kickstarter opportunity.

Well considering most of the time you have a flipped monochrome icon anyway for when the icon is highlighted it'd just be a case of switching between the two. I'm definitely curious if you can switch automatically. It'd be a

I'm really interested in how you managed to monetise your addons. I've made some fairly popular addons in the past but I'd always considered them just free things I throw out into the world.

This is the only thing that disappoints me about Dwarf Fortress, my CPU has gotten more and more powerful over the years and despite that my FPS crashes faster and I have to drop to smaller and smaller worlds every release.
