   'davisoneee covered it pretty well, but mostly lower pressures mean it's less of a pressure differential that the sealant has to withstand. "Road tubeless" setups exist for narrower tires, but a lot of them have upper pr

   wider tires also let you run lower pressures, which puts you more in the comfort zone of being able to convert to tubeless. not every rim/tire combination works with tubeless, but if you are able to pull it off, it's among my per

    No 3D printing: just making stylized images of OSM administrative boundaries. "Extrude" being to give the 2D boundary a bit of height and make it look like more of an "object" than a line drawing.

    This is a bit off-topic here, but can anyone recommend some good programs / workflows for programmatic image generation / manipulation? I have some geospatial boundary data that I'd like to extrude to a 3d object, apply textu

    I don't understand how this is relevant. you're getting the service you paid for, and they're funding organizations they like with money they got from you. I'm involuntarily donating to all sorts of garbage organizations
