Now you know which people you should unfollow.

He's (I think) a retired professor and the "he's an important medical professional making an extremely important point" is not how science works.

RCD trip suggests the insulation in the heating element is knackered and it’s grounding on its own casing, which might only happen after it gets warm.

Officially you need new barbs and olives and a full bleed.

In reality, you can just swap the hoses quickly. Any air bubbles in the connection will migrate to the reservoir with a few pumps of the lever.

(you may want to top up the fluid with the funnel, which I'd do on a new bike of unknown bleediness anyway)

The first thing to consider is whether a great big power bank would work better. Unless you have limited power demand and a large number of fast riding hours and multiple days with no access to mains power, USB dynamo charging can't compete, and that's before considering the expense and unreliability and faff factor.

(I've been through various setups and mostly given up. Paris-Brest-Paris was about the only event it made sense)

A semi-submersible ship for carrying other ships.

That’s what we hoped - I don’t remember her mother ever needing trimming - but she’s been an outdoor pup for several weeks now and she’s still a liability.

@DethBeard condolences.

Anyone have any recommendations for how to trim/blunt razor sharp puppy claws?

Human toenail clippers are very fiddly and leave them even sharper.

Yes, that's a bog standard button head machine screw.

Leyland SDM have loose individual screws for pennies each, as do Wilko.

SRAM PC-1130, which is £16-17 in a few places.

(If you’re super cheap PC-1110, but it’s not nickel-plated so looks like crap after one wet ride)

You can take one from me tonight in Upper Holloway. I have loads.

Which BB / tool? Hollow tech?

(Double check there isn’t an adapter in the BB packaging)

One option they’ve suggested is it being a low key UK X-rated type thing. I think I’d prefer that to the normal format tbh.

Does the bike have a bottle dynamo mount bracket already?

If you’re mounting it on the rear wheel you’d normally have separate wires from the dynamo to the front and back.

Some train operators are being arsey about letting obvious leisure travellers on - e.g. people with bikes. I had some friends refused at Oxford by GWR last week, which would be the same operator as Swindon.

It'll probably all change after July 4th mind.

The V5C keeper change process can be done online if the previous V5C was issued in the last few years. You’ll still get a new one in the post, but don’t need to post anything.

Crash mode is a mechanical disconnect in the rear mech - not software.

The older Di2 stuff can only be connected to a computer via a Shimano PC1 interface that plugs directly into the e-Tubes.

If it worked before you cut it, I can’t really see it being a firmware issue.

I think the minimum kit to make anything happen is junction A and a battery, so unplug everything and connect just those (any connection on Junction A) and see if you can get any life of it, and troubleshoot from there.

This is more amusing if you assume Parisians are using full body teddy outfits as PPE.

So expect new software that comes out to be fine but existing stuff is all going to have to be updated

This makes zero sense to me as an application developer. We don't interact with chips as a feature level - very little code is written in assembler these days. For 99% of us it'll be click the ARM checkbox and recompile.

(It's best to assume everyone on Hacker News is an overexcited 14 year old that's learnt everything they know from reading the wibblings of other overexcited 14 year olds)

I think it’s something you risk when buying a secondhand frame and not your problem.

If you’re still in the buyer protection window the decision might be made for you though.

My recollection of both transitions is that everything was seamless, the new models were way faster, and there was no obvious downside unless you'd recently bought one of the outgoing models and expected it to have resale value in a few years.

They were really Motorola chip Macs

The 68k Macs were Motorola. The PowerPC were either IBM (G3, G5) or Motorola (G4).

Anyway, I'm most excited that the new version of macOS is 11.0!

Generally Apple Watches are updated later in the year in time for Christmas. I don’t foresee an update at WWDC. They’ve got loads of other stuff to cover.

I still have a Series 2 and have seen no reason to upgrade yet.

(tbh Apart from not being painfully slow, it doesn’t do a lot that I couldn’t do with a first gen...)

The new company has only the slightest connection with the old. I think a family member reviving the name.

These things ride surprisingly well if you can get past the springy handlebars.

Fold as small as a Brompton and a nicer package to carry.

Mine had ludicrously high gearing which combined with the lack of leverage on the bars made it no fun on any sort of hill. A bigger sprocket on the back solves that.

I wouldn’t mind a look at the instruction book if you don’t get any takers. Those are pretty rare and I don’t think anyone’s put it online that I’ve seen.

Whereabouts are you? The number of hospital Covid cases in London is currently tiny:

If they have nuts or push fittings at either end, easy, assumkng there’s enough flexibility to get the pipes out of the old fitting.

If they’re soldered, GAMI.
