    Just to add some context: e-bike commuters in a hilly city would go through the stock organic brake pads in <500 km sometimes. Could be as little as 6 weeks. The shop I worked at (…

    Good point! I’ll be more careful before quick posting.

    Yeah, I suspect “Melissa” fed Lowe’s article to an LLM to get a quick article that’s sure to get views.

    Oh but no worries, FSD is a “solved problem” and should be done in 18 months or so…

    I enjoy using both, but you’re leaving out microphonics (especially on zippers), cable tangle and getting frayed/damaged/caught on clothing, just to name a few.

    I’m on Garmin watches as well but this line of thinking is getting old. Partner has an Apple Watch and they charge it while in the shower/getting dressed and occasionally 10-15 min…

    I guess creativity and technical advancements take longer than the yearly upgrade cycle required by marketing.

    I had heard that in the context of absurdly high hematocrit, where they would get their heart rate up to move the (very viscous) blood around their body. No source, but doesn’t sou…

    If I remember correctly, part of the goal here is to gain a bit of time while the patient gets to the ER. I’m no expert but as you seem to have alluded to, the risk profile of alte…

    Hypothetically, and just out of curiosity: if mint2 were to keep this email and it would be included as part of the evidence in a lawsuit, how would this bode for Lidl?

    Formulation is pretty important too. Do they give any detail on that?

    Nice summary! From my limited knowledge in case someone’s more interested. Don’t know if it’s different in oncology. Phase 1 is pretty big on safety: sentinel dosing, then graduall…

    I’m pretty sure you are correct. At least from the way I’ve seen it used (I took cancer biology lessons but it was more on a cellular level)

    Genuinely wondering why you mention “in a vacuum”, as the signal would have to go through the atmosphere.

    You are correct, though my knowledge of finance is insufficient to give you much more detail.

    NTA 8776 spec-rated helmets are built to withstand more forces than “regular” bike helmets. IIRC they are required in certain EU countries when riding an S-Pedelec (45 km/h limit p…

    Maybe OP is “stuck” with shitty hydraulics from a lesser-known vendor for which it’s difficult to get the parts? I’d say they look into the cost of getting the whole system replace…
