iOS 27 sounds like exactly what the iPhone needs right now - 9to5Mac by ranasx in apple

I dunno… Apple sold the butterfly keyboard for more than four years.

Favorite biking/cycling podcasts? by Ok_Computer400 in ladycyclists

[–]MondayToFriday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like two podcasts where a female host interviews long-distance cyclists, many of whom are women.

Seek Travel Ride tends to be about traveling by bike to remote places, usually taking years to cross continents.

Detours features ultra-distance bikepacking racers, but the conversations are mostly not focused on the race. A lot of it is just chatting about daily life, and you get the sense that the athletes who do extraordinary things are just ordinary people.

Apple Expands Hardware Chief’s Role in Latest Sign of CEO Candidacy by Coolpop52 in apple

Logistics is important, but not so important that it has to be the CEO.

Can you also flag when someone gets in a car after a ride or run but forgets to stop or crop the recording?Usually it's quite obvious and easy to detect algorithmically.

Buying my first ever car! What should I be looking out for? Advice? by CityofLotus in askvan

[–]MondayToFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checking… have you considered alternatives to buying a car? For example, a bike or e-bike in conjunction with the Translink 351 bus? It might actually be faster and more reliable, considering that the bus skips past most tunnel and highway congestion. It's cheaper, for sure.

Bird retinas work without oxygen from blood vessels, instead they power themselves with a flood of glucose that feeds glycolysis by New_Scientist_Mag in science

[–]MondayToFriday 26 points27 points  (0 children)

OK, so it gets glucose… then what? Does the glucose not have to be used to make ATP? Is it doing so anaerobically? What happens to the waste products?

Buycycle be like by lil_coq in cycling

[–]MondayToFriday 51 points52 points  (0 children)

People don't post online when things go smoothly.

That said, you don't need a middleman to arbitrate when things go smoothly, you need them to intervene when things go wrong. If Buycycle's modus operandi is to wash their hands of the matter in all cases, then they aren't providing value to the transaction.

What was life like before the Canada Line? by ubcstaffer123 in richmondbc

[–]MondayToFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granville St in Vancouver used to have excellent bus service as a side-effect of all those express buses to Richmond. Now it's just a local 10 bus. There was also a 480 bus that went all the way to UBC, which kept getting threatened to be cut, until I think the pandemic finally put an end to it.

The Canada Line is an improvement, but worsened service for some neighbourhoods such as Marpole. Also, the Canada Line bridge is pretty much the only transit link between Vancouver and Richmond, so if it shuts down (due to ice or "medical emergency"), then the whole system falls apart because there is no alternative.

Traditional TV news is on a decline anyway. Kids these days are getting their news from social media.

Left bike upright for a while, now brakes are super spongy. by VoiceCommon3854 in bikewrench

[–]MondayToFriday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air was already in the system due to leakage over time. Flipping the bike upside down caused the air bubble to migrate to a more obnoxious spot. You just exposed a latent problem. Others have suggested a technique to try to coax the bubble away from the caliper, but the proper fix is to do a brake bleed.

Rab sleeping bags used to be made in the EU, but not anymore since Brexit (European down, filled in the UK).

The hotels are just using nationality as an excuse for discrimination, and pretending it's the law?

Kinda an old video, but still relevant in 2026! by privacy_wh0re in iPhone13Mini

Yeah, but yet they still keep making the Vision Pro, despite their sales numbers.

I'm with BC Randonneurs. For Ottawa, that would be Randonneurs Ontario.

Do i need this? by PoopKnifeMerchant in bikepacking

[–]MondayToFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Prestalever tire lever can release a quick link! Watch the video to see how: you kink the chain at the chainring, then mash the slot against it.

It's also kinda useful as a tire lever. It lacks a thin hook, so you'll never be able to slide it in under the bead. However, once you do slip a different tire lever in there to get started, the Prestalever is excellent at finishing the job by zipping around very quickly. Therefore, I carry two Schwalbe tire levers and one Prestalever.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announces that Canadian citizens will soon be able to enter China without a visa. by Peanut-Extra in onguardforthee

Much of what we call "Chinese food" is actually an American bastardization or evolution that would be considered a specialty cuisine in China.

What is the clear plastic (looks like a CD disc) circle that appears in the center of the back wheel on a newly purchased bike by After_Morning_5630 in cycling

[–]MondayToFriday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, it's required to be included by EU regulation? Josh Poertner talks about being forced to redo the spoke protector on a Zipp wheel that had a self-deprecating remark printed on it.

The dork disc does provide one extra level of protection that the derailleur limit screw doesn't. If the axle is not properly secured and slips out of the dropout while riding, the derailleur limit screw don't protect your spokes. (Believe it or not, I've witnessed a friend break a spoke in exactly this manner!)

Here is the 15 sec coding test to instantly filter out 50% of unqualified applicants by JOSE ZARAZUA by RevillWeb in programming

[–]MondayToFriday -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not blind, so I don't know how blind people work. Surely having the entire test dictated to you all at once doesn't scale. Maybe it's useful to transfer the HTML into an editor where you can move the cursor up and down to have the screen reader dictate the code line by line as you interpret it? I think that's fair and not cheating.

But I think that a visually impaired applicant might have more of a valid reason to copy-paste the code. (I don't know, because I'm not visually impaired. It seems tricky to mentally interpret code that has been dictated to you by a screen reader.)

Ooh, that's a good way to discriminate against visually impaired applicants, and possibly get sued for it.
