As a hobby road cyclist I can recommend doing some core / stability training in addition to cycling. And of course, make sure that your bike and its geometry (saddle and stem height, stack and reach) generally fit you. Biking should no

Push is absolutely optional. A great device, but still very much optional.

I understand that it's less convenient but you actually can buy that 2TB NVME SSD as external drive too. It should operate in the same ballpark as decent to higher end internal NVME SSD options.

However those are somewhat neglected by their user base. Digital releases are rarely even listed along with their physical counterparts on Discogs. Of course it's up to the users to actually create and maintain those entries.

I wouldn't let an auto tagging solution anywhere near my collection - at some point it will get things wrong. However if you don't mind manually checking and editing tags I find Meta [1] to be an absolutely fantastic app. Every ne

Indeed. It's rarely mentioned but eBay still offers the most streamlined selling experience and the most attractive selling prices, despite the 10% fee. To me it seems as if buyers on eBay are just as tired of time-wasting, long-shot n

That is exactly why I prefer eBay to sell stuff. I happily give up the 10% sellers fee for not having to deal with countless potential buyers acting entitled, trying to negotiate or telling me how they could get the same item new for about

I just want to emphasize how great and affordable Uniqlo's Merino range is. Merino wool is a fantastic, functional material and the value Uniqlo is offering here with their low prices but good quality is basically unmatched.

Of course you as a consumer could also act and decide on your own. I'd understand if the grand parent poster refused to use price alerts at all, maybe in order to avoid unnecessary purchases, but GP argued that a different service is b

Furthermore the 512 GB option is, again, only available on the pro models. I'd sell my 11 Pro and get the 12 Mini in a heartbeat if I could get it with 512 GB.
