    Yeah that seems likely, I have seen people do repairs on carbon before depending on the level of damage. There is also the old saying "If you don't tell the rest of the group ride …

    I think the usual argument is that Ti lasts longer but carbon lasts for ages if you don't crash it and the people willing to spend $10k on a bike usually welcome the chance to buy …

    Don't even trust "private" cloud storage. I used google docs in school and randomly they locked one of my documents that I needed to work on citing "tos violation". Week later the …

    Is it more logical to have a point tag which has the attributes x and y or have x and y as their own tags and values? Its not clear to me which makes more sense and it seems the sp…

    Its good if you need dynamic charts in JS but if you just want a graphic or a logo I wouldn't use it. Its also a huge pain to maintain, they update the library once a year with bre…

    I have found dyson to simply be reliable. Yes it might not be the best value for money but when you buy a dyson product you will almost never be disappointed.

    They released a new version that fits the form factor of traditional dryers where you only put your hands under it without having to dangle them between 2 pieces. They work pretty …

    Thats fine but the parent comment is saying that the video has high praise of the product when the closing quote of the video says something to the effect of "You would be a comple…

    He also did tests and found that for drying hair it was no better than a regular one for a fraction of the price.

    Dyson suggests replacing the filter every year but you could vacuum off the dust on the outside. Their vacuum cleaner filters are washable which is probably where OP got the idea.

    I had my camera on for the first week of WFH but I live with other people and having to constantly indicate to them whether my camera is on or not gets old fast.

    Says the proposal is abandoned in 2011. The thing is OSM does not deal with real time data, the general rule is if the data is likely to change within the next month it doesn't go …
