I just checked, and the company website page on my relatively high end carbon bike has a listed max weight (rider+bike+equipment) of 120kg. Easy enough to find on the page.

That said...were I close to that limit, I think I'd opt for a steel bike, or maybe titanium if I have the money. Carbon is amazing but its failure mechanism isn't pretty.

Compiling a kernel yourself isn't a big deal these days, especially with DKMS. Generally the type of people I've encountered who care about which kernel version they're usiyare the type of people who are capable of compiling it themselves...

One caveat is that you will need write access to the drive, which probably means you need to run as root


can't run that with sudo as-is, unlike dd.

Also a super useful tool for measuring real world bandwidth, both on physical media and over the network ( dd status=progress ... | nc ...).

As much as I think a "would you like to have a beer with the candidates?" is a stupid way of measuring things...I wouldn't mind having a beer with these candidates.

When I visited Alaska, they said you should always take the sights off your rifle. That way it doesn't hurt as much when the grizzly shoves it up your ass.

Dumb question, but in a very oxygen rich environment, can you just breathe through a paper bag or something? Mostly just breathe your own exhaled CO2 with a bit of O2 leaking in?

Seems more analogous to clothes than housing


clothes can be "too big" in the sense that the extra size is detrimental to the function, which is somewhat different from houses.

And it's pretty common to have buy-nothing groups in cities or even at large companies. Got a loooot of hand-me-down clothes for my toddler from friends, family, and randos in the neighborhood.

Yep, I was just reciting the next line in the script :)

I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase...

Oh I love Debian on the desktop! More a comment on the feeling of the OS being very concerned about downtime and stability, with minimal "surprises." Not a bad thing at all!
