Any question answered...

Am I unlucky, or are Hope seat clamps terrible?

Hope clamps are objectively shit, but if the gap in the hoop isn't closed then the problem might really be in the relationship between the seat post diameter and the size of the hole you're putting it in.

Same seatpost as before, so should be ok. Clamped fine with the old one.

Turned hope around, does seem better, can't move it now at 8nm. Might go to 10 to be safe...

Alu bolts, so do thread (pun intended) carefully.

Where can I find a template for a 3-circle Venn diagram for use in Libre Office?

Lardons. Week out of date. Look ok. Safe to eat?

I am trying to shift 10lb of excess weight but there might be better ways

I ate some which were 10 days out of date last week, I haven't died yet, but only the good die young and thus I am immortal.

I have bottled it and bought a pizza and some cava, to celebrate chucking out iffy food

Generally good until the packet looks sweaty and you'll smell it if they've gone bad

What was that an answer to?

@doubleodavey: waster!

Awesome. Belated thanks.

Where do all these job lots of Dysons come from? It seems like they're prone to breaking but quite easy to fix. I only want one of them not an assorted half dozen.

It's not just Dysons, you often see this with other common products. I usually figure it's a repairman and they're probably flogging the stuff which is beyond repair or no good as replacement parts. Alarm bells usually ring when it's described as 'untested'.

But yes, you're right about those Dyson battery vacs. They are easy to fix and you can buy any part for them, either remanufactured or genuine Dyson, so they're infinitely fixable when they wear out or break.

Can anyone point me towards some pursuit style bars I can slide a flat bar lever onto and around the bend?

Sorry for answering the wrong question here, but surely a flat bar lever with a hinged clamp solves your problem?

if the lever and bar is the correct diameter, yes, but usually the bar is too wide (23.something rather than 22.2).

It's not going to get any better once you're round the bend, it's still 23.8mm on the vast majority of bars until it gets fatter still at the clamp. No amount of wishful thinking will make a 22.2mm flat bar lever fit that.

If you want that 2007 my first fixie look, you're going to want a crosstop style lever. You then have the problem that they're pretty much all 31.8mm clamps these days, so you can get a 31.8 bar and run them on the centre bulge or get a Profile Stoker 26 and some readily available 26.0-31.8 shims

ETA: There are still some 23.8mm crosstops available, some native and some 31.8mm with shims, but then pursuit bars tend to have a wide ferrule to accommodate tribars, so the 23.8mm section even on the rare circular cross section models puts crosstops rather close to the bend

I'm not missing something right, and these are the exact same item? Sram Force D2 shifter and caliper at sigma for £375 and these at Westbrook cycles for £228?

Looks like it to me.

I want to make sure I'm using the correct term... but also struggling with my description of the question, so bear with me.

What do you call the equivalent of a column header in software development.

E.g.

• I have a table in a database with client information and one of the columns is 'favourite_restaurant'.
  
• In my CLM system I want the "____" 'favourite_restaurant' displayed.
  
  

I feel like I want to say attribute, but I'm not sure that's the correct term.

Cheers

field

If you literally want 'favourite_restaurant' to be displayed, that is the column name or field name.

I'd say it probably depends on who you're communicating with.

For something front-end, as Sumo says, field is probably a good option (especially if it's going to be part of an editable form or similar).
For DB folks, I'd say attribute is your best bet (or column name as above is a more explicit term).
For back-end you'd likely be talking about it in the context of it being a property of the client object.

Also "property" which is the correct term for a field in an object.
