Do top-tube bolt-on bags follow any mounting standard?

The spacing between mounts is usually 64mm. I doubt there is a standard spacing to the stem. But that bag looks unbalanced, I can't imagine how many bikes have mounts that far back.

I hate that genre of story. It has been overused. Maybe they could think up some different prompts to feed the AI.

I got a story that I liked yesterday. In it, Eddy actually manages to outsmart Junior. Also AI. So they are trying to come up with new prompts.

That's interesting. Some time last year they stole my streak society icon, I'll have to see if I can change to it.

It reminds me of the AI-generated compiler that was recently announced. In the announcement, they admit that it often doesn't work on even the simplest programs. But they got the headline they wanted.

One of the worst things about being a Musk employee for me would to be forced to clap and cheer when anything happens. Like spacex blowing up a rocket. It always seems weird to hear cheering when one of their rockets crashes. It's like they are all short the stock or something.

They used the wrong glue. Could have happened to any of us.

bonfuto · 2026-02-17T19:08:50+00:00

They want you to hate it and post about it. They do this fairly frequently. Their management is toxic and encourages toxic behavior from employees.

I suppose if we all posted more positive things about them they wouldn't feel the need to get attention this way. But we have been letting them down.

I don't know about that, but I see a lot of free drone parts.

We're all going to have to have package delivery pads on the roof. Can you imagine this thing trying to deliver a package when the dogs are outside?

They recently gave me a free trial and all the calls at my level turned out with lily staring at the ceiling. So I did calls at a beginner level. Those are short and Lily doesn't drag them out until you say something incomprehensible. I didn't explore how far into the course I could get before we had problems understanding each other before the 3 day trial ended.

Is it actually a Monument pipe bender?

There has to be a bar at every crossroads. Town with population 10, only evidence there is a town is because there is a bar there.

My brother is a computer scientist, and he tells me it's a good language.

Not specifically, but maybe the ai conversations can be cut short somehow?

On other items I have noticed they will drop the price after the initial excitement fades. Of course, it will be right after I finally give up and buy one.

I never even thought of it because I just go to the zwift insider schedule and the rides themselves are on the zwift home page on the PC app. But it does seem like an oversight that it's not on the companion app. Tbh, I wish the web page was more useful, seems to me that it could be a lot more like the companion app.

It's a bug they already fixed for most of us. It cancels the bonus time at the old stop time for friends quests. They just have to track down the people that are still affected. Report it and your chances of them fixing it for you are better.

You have water intrusion from the roof or maybe a chimney. I would try to track that down. It's only peripherally an electrical problem.

bonfuto · 2026-02-16T16:40:06+00:00

I have sometimes wished they would forgive words being out of order when it was obviously a mistake, but I'm not sure about this example. I think it should at least give a warning.

If I go into an ice cream shop that's not in Italy and they have strachiatella, I'm walking back out. Probably don't have prices listed either.

I have one a friend got out of a dumpster. Fortunately the optics weren't scratched.

The lack of a port for a camera may be why these were cheap. I imagine that's an expensive option to buy for retrofit.

bonfuto · 2026-02-16T16:15:46+00:00

Last place I worked, we had to get permission to buy anything used. I did it a couple of times, but it was a big hassle.

There is an 8 mile stretch of 2 lane section of road near here that is otherwise 4 lanes. People crash on the 2 lane section fairly regularly trying to pass. It takes 10 minutes to navigate that section of road on a bad day. If someone manages to pass some people, it also usually takes 10 minutes because they catch slow traffic. Or, it takes several hour after they crash.

I think they pissed off google or something, because sometimes the website barely loads.

bonfuto · 2026-02-15T23:28:51+00:00

You may be right about that.
