  1. There's a meme floating around that says something like "My math teachers didn't warn me that I would require this knowledge in order to school my children during a pandemic". Cracked me up. Also reminds me of a primary school teacher who always used to say "It's not like you're gonna carry a calculator around in your pocket all day". Boy was he wrong!
  2. Okay well so I have more or less finished the project that I was working on which required all the building of other things earlier in the thread. Like they say, it often takes longer building the machine that builds the machine. I've been delaying posting pictures as I wanted to style it first to show exactly how it's supposed to look and what the purpose of it is, but whatever. I don't even know what to call it, but here is my Ash Magazine Stand Pot Plant Holder Thingy. It has space to place some coffee table books/magazines, and space on the side for an indoor plant of some sorts. It's not perfect, but it's mine (actually it will probably become my mother's as I have literally no space for it) I still need to oil it, but I'm still struggling to decide what, and from where. Most online resources advise Danish Oil for Ash, but notes that it yellows with time. As there are some experts here, what would you suggest? Build photos and issues to come...
  3. There actually is a 3D Printing Thread Unfortunately I can't help you on this. I've only printed with PLA and PETG and have a stock standard Bowden extruder.
  4. That's pretty amazing service, well done!
  5. Does Bryton use a different mount to Garmin?
  6. For R8000-R10000 you should be able to find serious value in the classifieds. Depending on your size and location, of course.
  7. This made my heart pain just a little
  8. This is what the law says: Yes, most runners will hop onto the sidewalk and we pass in an amicable fashion giving each other a "howzit", but some are adamant to keep in the roadway, in which event I will keep as close as practicable to the left edge of the roadway.
  9. Uh, just as the law says that cyclists should be left in the same direction as the traffic, the law says that pedestrians (runners) need to be on the right facing traffic.
  10. I agree with your gut feeling, but which way does traffic flow? I have the same issue with people and their shopping carts. You drive on the left hand side of the road, so you have to keep left. Simple really, not.
  11. Yeah I try and do the same with runners. I hug the shoulder to my left as tight as possible forcing them to go around me into the oncoming traffic. They can see, I can't, they should take the risk. That's why I try and indicate my intent early. I will point to my left and visibily move over to the left as far as practically possible. Edit 2: Despite the fact that I can't see what's coming up behind me, the speed differential would force me into the gutter if I was on the right-hand side of the road. Imagine you're doing 30 and someone approaches at 80. That's a delta of 110. If you're going the same direction it's a delta of 50.
  12. Does the law not state that cyclist must traverse in the same direction as normal traffic?

    Ladies saddle

    I've commented on these ladies saddle threads more than I can count. Like I've said before, we went through about 6 saddles before she was happy, and now in the end, across 3 bikes, she's got various different Specialized saddles. So that's where I would start. Go to Spaz, get measured, get a loaner and give it a shot. For the girls it is worth the cost. I've got all different saddles from different brands across my 3 bikes and I couldn't really care. She, cares, a lot.
  14. Out, because if you don't exercise you get permanent residency in:
  15. What game?
  16. eBay is most likely your best bet. I still have a S478 DFI Lanparty GeForce FX5700 setup somewhere in the garage.
  17. I stopped watching after the 2:33 scene
  18. Jeepers! Edit: Wait, this is just from one incident. I thought the R850K might have been a syndicate depot or something.
  19. Your painting made me think of this not-painting http://matthewnewton.us/blog/little-boxes-at-the-edge-of-mexico-city
  20. Try EvoBikes
  21. Interesting read about what is actually happening with WhatsApp and your data
  22. I've also been holding off watching for some reason...
  23. The fact that Mxit is still alive is totally shocking.
