The XS10 does have IBIS, so you're not giving that up.
I have one, and one of the things I most like about it compared to other small Fuji bodies, is that handgrip. Because the camera just dangles off the end of your fingers with no effort, even with the chunky 16-80mm lens attached. ymmv of course.

The bike weighs 12kg

Hi @user158758, it's not particularly lightweight, but it's not a lump either. I can weigh it when I get home tonight, if that helps.

Hi @user158740. Yes, it is still available. The frame is sized as M - I don't know what this translates to in terms of standard geometry, but I think Specialized recommend 5'3" to 5'6" for their size M hybrid bikes. People vary a lot, of course, so you are welcome to try it for size if you like.

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to reply, been kind of mad busy for the last couple of days.
Yes, it is still for sale. The current owner is about 5'4", or 162cm in new money.

Very lightly used, probably only about 50 miles in total, and in excellent condition.
Looking for £200, collection from Epsom environs.

I did like the IntCode from a couple of years back, but I guess the smaller non-interconnected puzzles are more accessible and more advent-calendar-ish.
Day 13 was fun. First thought - lets make trees and do a DFS to compare them!
Second thought - the strings are actually already in DFS order. So just use them directly.
Third thought - why don't I get the right result for the puzzle data when the examples work? Oh. 10. My regex stupidity. Every day is a school day.
Anyway. Kotlin for me this year. Repo here for anyone interested: https://github.com/gresty-dev/adventofcode2022

I really liked this one. Using a circular buffer for the fish counts you can reduce the simulator loop to a single addition.

I have a Mini Cooper (3 door hatchback, 3rd gen - 2015). We are also a couple, and it is practical enough for us as (a) a daily runabout, and (b) a surprisingly comfy and effective distance car. While being (c) a joy to drive - it still actually does put a smile on my face after 18 months.
IMO all cars are a compromise, it's just a question of you identifying what your priorities are. A Jazz compromises (again, IMO) style and fun for massively practical carrying capacity. A proper sports car compromises almost all practicality for the driving experience. A Mini, for us, is sufficiently useful, while still being great to drive. Plus it is actually pretty well specced and feels kinda upmarket when you are in it. And ours has bonnet stripes!
I you have a want for a Mini, that's a pretty good indication you should go and drive one.
(And you can put bikes on the roof with a Seasucker or Rockbros suction rack. Those things are solid.)
Oh - and the cat is tucked up behind the engine next to the turbo. Ain't no-one taking that.
And oh - the 3-cylinder engine sounds really rather good and growly, to my ears at least.

Hi @Turkish, a bit slow on the response, but is the ME Super body still available?

Here too. And instrumental in getting a prosecution and good insurance payout off some arsehole who actually did knock me off. Without it, the popo were going to close the case. Can't recommend enough.

To the guy pushing past me on the no cycling footpath. A bike in a red circle means No Cycling, not Bike Path. And the little sign above it is a parking restriction, not a time of operation of the no cycling sign. And just because I told you to learn the fucking signs in the highway code does not then give you carte blanche to constantly swear at me, escalating things to ridiculous levels. Continually talking over me with your nonsense is not a great technique either. I don't think I even mentioned I ride, such was my revulsion at being associated with you in any way. You reminded me of the restaurant guy in the Range Rover on Priory Lane.
Anyway, as that lane is about 20 metres from my house, I'm sure we'll meet again. I wonder what you do for a living, and how many people you make miserable on a daily basis.

Nah, that one's chopped. See this pic.

The reality is spectacular enough!

I didn't think so, but in fact it does - then it wiggles down Lambeth Road to St George's Circus, and heads up Blackfrairs from there. Cycle route in joining-up shocker.

I used the anti-clockwise lane all the way round last night, and it was lovely. No bus conflict at the exit - not sure how typical that is though.

This a.m. I stayed on the road to go all the way clockwise, and it was quite a smooth experience. For those that are turning up St George's, the lane behind the bus stops looks tempting cos it cuts out two sets of lights and only introduces 1. Plenty of people using it too, which possibly reduced the number of bikes on the road and made my life a bit easier there - less of a bunfight. But still enough bikes so that I didn't stick out like a sore thumb, and no motor hassle.

Turning right from newingtonbutts to nkr will be interesting. It's unlikely I'll be hugging the left lane or waiting for endless ped/bike crossings. Cue howls of motor outrage.

I think that it is often forgotten that there is a legitimate and important retribution aspect to justice. It is not just about deterrence of others and preventing re-offending ("I'm really sorry guv, won't do it again, look how good I've been up until now, hardly killed anybody")

^ Pretty much, yes. Even with video evidence, just refuse to say who was driving.

Though I understand that the max fine for doing that is £1000 - I have no idea why, given the seriousness of the collision, the guy was only fined £150.

Why can't putting in a claim be done online these days.

It can if you're claiming on Co-op home insurance. As I've just had occasion to find out.

Hi,
My bike has been stolen from my garage in Ewell. It's a white Condor Italia (the one with the curvy frame), with white Shimano RS31 wheels, white bar tape and saddle.
It was a birthday present from my wife a few years ago, and is my pride and joy.
I've no illusions about getting it back, but if someone does see it, I'd love to know.

I have no evidence as to whether there is any correlation between how fast a cyclist goes and their likelihood of a crash

Then here's a data point. I've been riding in London at various speeds for 10 years. I have fallen off twice. Once was a clipless moment. Once was going up a dropped kerb that wasn't dropped as much as I thought, in the wet, at a snail's pace. So both my crashes were at considerably less than 5mph.

Obligatory helmet statement - I wasn't wearing a helmet in either case, and amazingly my head didn't crack like an egg. Possibly didn't even hit the ground - it's rather narrower than my shoulders, perhaps. But it's noteworthy that this is exactly the type of accident a helmet is designed for - low speed fall onto hard surface.

Oh great, I've commented on the helmet thread. Kill me now.

Thought as much, though it annoys me if the police/council had real issues with that section being ridden on then they would have done something about it before, including improved signage. Now they are fining cyclists on the pretence of 'safety' just to make a quick £50. I will now be cycling around the ring road outside of Kingston with the HGV's which i'm sure will be alot safer for me and a lot more convenient for the car drivers as they are stuck behind me.

Yeah, riding East/West through Kingston is a pain. I lived there until about a year ago. There is a cycle path you can follow by the side of Wood Street - starts at the top of the bus station outside Bentalls, and eventually sends you round Fife Road, from where you can go down Castle Street and onto Eden Street that way. I'm not sure which bits are one-way or two-way, and it's a bit of a faff.

Or you can go round the other way - the cycle path from John Lewis past the White Stuff, down Union Street, left onto Eden Street and follow it round.

It would be nice to ride down Clarence Street when it's quiet, but I can't see it being allowed when it's heaving with peds on a Saturday...

No it's not, it's on Clarence Street further away from the crossing.

I meant, the view is that of someone standing on the road, in the crossing. Just to give some positional context to the rest of my post. I realize the sign is behind the crossing, on Clarence Street.
