Just for clarity, my previous post wasn’t directed at you.

Also- interesting link, gives some more specifics than I’d encountered, will forward.

I can see there’s no use discussing this with you. If you’re this frustrated by the notion now, you’re going to have real problems in a few years.

I don't think @eseman was blindly saying its a good idea or would solve the world's problems.

Making the post pointless at best.

Social problems are, by definition, people problems. Solutions have to start with people and their needs and behaviours. How technology might help shouldn't be the starting point. Just dropping "tech" into a political conversation is silly hand waving.

Also, dismissing a futurist theory because of teething problems with contemporary tech is not something that turns out to be the right approach usually.
The use of algorithms to distance people from the consequences of their actions is a significant problem right now. Which makes thoughtless invocation of tech for social problems truly deserving of a really big fucking kicking.

Just quoting for posterity.

But you expect algorithms to provide answers to social problems.

No....? I expect algorithms to be a useful tool to enable better policy decisions to be made. We’re barely making use of one of the most powerful tools humanity has ever created to solve problems that profoundly affect peoples’ lives. It’s not a panacea, and I’m not suggesting it is. But there’s literally zero chance that a single human elected representative can even read and fully comprehend all the different legislation in a single congressional year and its wider impacts. To make things more difficult still, we expect that person to perform various other job functions, and be charismatic, and be helpful with our individual drama, and be impervious to self-benefitting corruption. That’s not going to happen.

However, there are probably parts of that job that can be made easier and improved by using the internet/computer algorithms to help compile, process and interweave mass data sets.

Difference between a computer and a politician is that you wouldn’t expect a computer to care about you.

There’s several suggestions for making use of the tech. One that springs to mind is replacing or complementing human representatives with algorithms. Sounds bizarre but so is thinking a single human or a even a few thousand humans are able to identify which policy decisions are most beneficial for tens of millions of people.

Advertisers and bankers in the west already have online profiles for us, detailing our preferences and habits, our network connections, and myriad other pieces of info to give them a view into our minds, and to predict our preferences. Why not harness this tech to inform policy decisions?

Does anyone have experience with a no till vegetable garden? I used the search but no results.

You’ll also want to confirm you have enough bearing press spacers to press the bearing in again around the TA.

If memory serves, yes. Unless you have the tool to take out and replace the DT ratchet ring (1/3 remains in the hub when you remove the freehub), knock out the bearing on the NDS. If you go for the DS and don’t have the tool to remove the ratchet ring, it’s a royal pain to press in a new bearing.

What’s the new MBA these days? Seems you can swing a cat in central London without hitting a MBA.

Aye, though he’s up to 12 records now.

Nice one. Always good to see some tinkering on this forum.

Sounds intense! Sorry to hear you had a breakdown, but good you’re recovering and have family support. As someone who also kind of quit their primary industry and is immeasurably happier for it, I hope you’re able to take things at a healthy pace and find something you really enjoy. What’s your background?

Any ideas on what my options are?

I don’t know Aliexpress’ own policies, but I’d politely insist to the seller that it 100% wasn’t received, and ask that they contact the courier company for more specific info or to start a claim.

If you used PayPal, you might be protected. If you used a bank card, you’re almost definitely protected. Shouldn’t take much effort from you to successfully dispute a charge, just be sure to provide some screenshots of your due diligence to strengthen your case.

He’s right, simple cable lock is sufficient.

Artists call them tube squeezers or paint saver keys. You could get one online from an arts supplier, I’m sure they could use the business.

E.g., no affiliation https://www.pegasusart.co.uk/tube-squeezer-paint-saver-keys-3-sizes-large.ir

I'll measure mine, but I'd say don't skimp on length. You want the longest that's practical to carry.

2x this, and add practical to swing (depends on your height and arm length).

Can i fit a 73mm chainset into a 68mm shell

It was the ‘into’ that threw me.

Found this. Seems like it’s readily doable (-for a 1x crank at least), exactly how isn’t very clear.

A 73mm chain set or a 73mm bottom bracket?

If the latter, I don’t think so. If the former, if the rings don’t hit the chainstay you can possibly make it work. Not sure if it will impact BB bearing life.

I enjoy the irony of me having to buy a fancy salami every time I try to make one myself. Good shout, will try today, great setup you’ve got there.

Business is business but I’ve heard of more sniping happening this week than in the past few months. I wonder why.

Priced to move, GLWS!
