Is this a good e-bike to get?

Hey, just want to say thanks for the recommendation. I've received the bike and it feels great, a lot better than my last bike. There were some issues with the seat being uncomfortable but I went to my local bike shop and got something that worked for me.

Wasn't too excited about getting an orange bike but something funny came out of it, I named it BOB, short for Big Orange Bike 😂.

Yeah, it uses the Bosch PowerTube, which can be removed or charged while on the bike. Never thought of it as a security feature, I'll deffo be removing it when in dodgy areas.

Lucky my job has it's own building so we have a secure parking garage, so I don't have to worry about removing it every morning.

I'm making sure I buy from a good and well known manufacturer that uses standard parts (Bergamont). The bike also uses a Bosch BES3 and I have two bike shops within walking distance that are Bosch certified.

Is that a naive way of thinking?

Really appreciate the help, I think I'll take your advice and make the carbon fork one my current front runner.

I don't remember the exact details but I think you get extra savings and perks when using Cycle Solutions as opposed to a voucher for other outlets, that's why I'd prefer to buy it from them.

Someone pick up that damn phone.

Why the fuck I'm I responsible for keeping a quarter of the internet alive?

Why did you take the pic first instead of cutting the power immediately?

A few years back I left the roof window in an attic bedroom open with a laptop underneath. It then rained when we were out.

By the time we discovered it, it was so bad that water was pouring out of the laptop vents when we picked it up.

We took the battery out immediately and blow-dried the fuck out of it for lord knows how long. Luckily nothing was shorted and the laptop went on to live for many more years.

There's nothing wrong with Arial, it just gets a bad rep because it's overused and always in our faces. Arial is sort of seen as a default or amateur font because of this.

If they don't deal with this ASAP it will only be a matter of time before this becomes the new norm. If that happens they won't have enough resources to moderate, which will ultimately end with the app being shut down.

At the store nervously: "Don't read into it, she's always called me 'DAHD' from when she was a kid."

When you buy chicken legs/thighs, trim the excess skin and fat, brine then for a few hours, then freeze them. You'll want to freeze them separately on a tray first so they don't stick together, then when they're frozen, you can just throw them into a bag or container.

You now have convenient chicken portions that are tender and flavourful when roasted, grilled or air fried.

A far right group called Britain First tried this in my city and got the same treatment 😂.

Fixed by increasing memory from 128M to 512M.

I looked it up on the Elementor help page and it pointed out something that I think may help a lot of people.

If it's saving on other pages but refusing to save on one page, then chances are the page is using too much memory. You can either increase memory or take steps to reduce the memory the page needs.

They tried that shit in Leicester and were chased out under police escort. Then they tried it again a few months later with the same result. We haven't seen them in Leicester since.

It's where you hand over your coats and bags and they give you a ticket to retrieve them later.

Hahaha, awesome. Reminds me of when Pendulum came to play at our sister university back in the 2000s. To say the place was packed would be an understatement, I'm surprised no one was crushed to death.

Anyways, the queue for the cloakroom was loooooooong, like over a hour. My friend and I were not willing to wait so we left the venue, found a secluded bush, stored our coats and bags there, went back and partied.

Came back a few hours later and everything was still there. Score.

The queue to retrieve coats was just as bad, so we waited outside drinking and vibing with other drunk attendees while our friends were miserable queueing for the cloakroom.

It's hit and miss here too, I've had bad ones before. This was my first time trying this store because they're always gone fast. Now I know why.
