HN wouldn't let me reply yesterday so I edited my response into the parent comment. Bike brakes aren't a binary system. You can adjust your touch on the brake levers to apply varying levels of friction against the braking surface

Sounds like your brakes had no modulation or you weren't using them safely. Modern disc brakes eliminate the modulation issue. Bike brakes aren't a binary system. You can adjust your touch on the brake levers to apply varying leve

Ikea's primary brand tenant is their ability to ship and store all of their goods very efficiently because they break down to pack into very flat boxes with little wasted space. For example, a big bookshelf is sold in only flat pieces

Take it in to your local bike shop if you are really worried. The biggest factor in your chain's health (assuming you have kept it in a nice dry place over the years) is how much you ride it. It's a mechanical part, so it shouldn&

Nice, good looking out. I assume Ikea isn't about to staff a mechanic for a low-occurance problem for a single product, so I wonder how they will handle warranty for the labor of replacing it.

If the belt is like standard belt drives (I need to look further into this, not sure if Ikea cheaped out or not), it should actually stand up to time better than a chain would. Belts are simply carbon cord embedded in a molded casing of nyl

There are near infinite factors influencing birth rate that are all interconnected. No model can accurately account for all of this, but the models linked don't even attempt to cut very deeply.

That is clearly an industrial design student project taken out of context. The sketching is overly academic, the app screens are very much on-trend and designed to reflect as much narrative as possible, and those earpiece devices are clearl

Those voters saw a bigot and didn't let that stop them for voting for him despite what their other reasons may be. That is enough.

I dunno, I've ridden the roads in Plano before. The fact that most roads are multi-lane definitely make things more amicable to biking there since cars can move around cyclists. In denser urban areas (yes, yes, Plano is semi-urban with

I'm definitely willing to wager that half of the country is awful, but that's if you're willing to use voter turnout as a valid sample size to represent the population at large. That's not the point. Racism is bigger tha

Being intolerant of bigots doesn't exactly make you as bad as them... Parent comment is wrong and overgeneralizing a bit (as others have pointed out, awful people exist everywhere and transcend the bounds of class and geography), but t

You're the guy who knew more and filled in the blanks! I am super fascinated by this topic (and an outsider). Do you have any specific examples or situations that you know of this happening? The hypothetical you gave above was awesome

WOAH the XPS 15 comes with a 1050 now? I might pay the huge price premium to get my hands on that (and then some more to turn that USB c port into all the useful ports I'm losing).

It's also much more expensive to produce an i7. i7 are near perfect chips and are able to run higher clock rate efficiently and safely while i5s are more "standard" and have their performance clamped down to what they can saf

Try buying a laptop for CAD rendering sometime. So many people where I work didn't want to settle for last gen speeds of "workstation" class (think, AMD firepro and Nvidia Quadro cards) and now pay the shame price of rainbow

Apple makes a damned good mobile chip, but it's still just a mobile chip and it plays by mobile rules. Do you think apple has the expertise to switch to desktop class chip design?

I think most consumers feel this way right now (hence the always slowing sales in the PC market) and companies like Intel and AMD are definitely feeling the squeeze. When the farthest you can push the limits of your new chipset are, well, s
