Why do you find a nonstandard/large wheel problematic for bike touring? Just difficulty in finding replacement tires/tubes/etc?

What do you mean? The only objectionable content I see is a single mention of "little-squarists" [quotation marks included in original text], but that seems hardly enough of an insult to disregard the rest of the paper.

To Matthias, in case you do pop in to this thread: you've forgotten to set a character encoding for pages, so some browsers display gobbledygook instead of apostrophes. For example, on https://woodgears.ca/faq/vide

I somehow forgot to add the essential part of my comment. Sorry, here it is: If someone prefers a narrow tab width and breaks lines based on that, then someone who prefers a wide tab width will get overfull lines: 20 column limit, 2-c

This article seems misleading. It's conflating two independent events: -Cox is terminating accounts of individuals using excessive bandwidth. -Cox is limiting upload speed in certain neighborhoods. I don't see anything to suggest

"Why three prongs" is a classic, but it seems to have been submitted 11 months ago. I would suggest "[Nikola] Tesla's Big Mistake?"[1]. It's never been submitted, and I think single-wire power transmission woul

I have always loved this site. I wish there was a search engine that indexed only pages like these. Something that penalized pages with ads[1], and penalized larger sites. A search engine for the "personal" web. [1]: Not that I&#x

Have you checked for windows resonating? It would be surprising if walls were acting as a high-pass filter. Could also be electronic noise. I wonder what the machine is.

That it automatically downloaded a file is down to your browser, not the site. If you have "ask before downloading" (or similar) set, it'll prompt to download.

What browser are you using? It requires a click for me on Firefox. From a quick glance at the source I don't see anything that would automatically initiate a download.

Not really a solved problem. Even if you set your editor to display 1 tab as 2 columns, another person may set their editor to display 1 tab as >2 columns. So even using tabs, a project has to set rules for tab width.

The QAnon stuff probably skews young rather than old, given it spread via reddit, twitter, and 4chan.

The combination of "Thailand (sus)", and "bet ya a signed dollar it's true" makes it clear he was accusing the guy of pedophilia. That's way beyond just an insult.

>In the UK, a 300+ page law was basically pre-written and enacted very quickly, reminiscent of the early anti terrorism law. I'm leery of what you may be trying to imply here. This isn't some conspiracy thing, is it?

Agreed. The "no-nonsense" press release is wonderful. I'm fatigued by the trend of whole-page scroll-to-animate "our new BrandTech3 delivers twice the Foo for <consumer segment>" announcements. Unless there&#x

I'd like to hear more about the info in your second paragraph. Is there any reading material (articles, papers, etc) you suggest? It sounds quite interesting, and I had not heard about the spike affinity wrt ferrets.

I think the history of link aggregators shows that "if it makes it to the front page it belongs here" is a race to the bottom. If one follows that guideline, content inevitably shifts to "easier" entertainment, and away
