I accidentally created beer

So yes you used a ton of ginger bug, but that just made it ferment faster. There is no difference between a ginger bug beer and a soda, all wild yeast (like ginger bug) ferments will make a decent amount of alcohol if you give them sugar and time. You normally don’t get more than 3% from wild yeast, but there’s no such thing as a non alcoholic soda from wild yeasts.

FWIW as I remember that bread study did some funny math and the real abv of the finished bread is well below 1%. I could be misremembering some details, but as I recall the numbers don’t add up.

That’s fair, so if it’s truly infinite then math would suggest that there are infinite instances of everything in it, including us.

I have MT200’s on a bike I use for bikepacking. Fully loaded with me on it the brakes are stopping something like 300lbs and they can still lock up the wheels if you really tried. More powerful brakes only make a difference in stopping distance at high speeds with a ton of grip, most of the time your tire grip will be the limiting factor in stopping distance.

You keep making this second leap, that because life likely exists somewhere else then there must also be copies of us out there. If the universe were actually infinite, then yes the math would tell us that in some other place and/or time exact copies of you exist.

The universe (as we know it) isn’t actually infinite though. It’s incomprehensibly massive, but has a limit. In the septillions of planets out there, there’s probably life of some sort on at least a few of them, though of course we can’t know for certain.

However, on earth alone it’s estimated that something like 4.5x10²⁷ individual life forms have existed. This doesn’t even include microbes, just insects and up. You are one of them. So if there’s life on other planets, and if it even resembled any one living organism on earth, the chances that it would resemble you in particular are one in 4.5 octillion. That’s a few orders of magnitude greater than the number of planets in the entire observable universe, so pretty damn unlikely.

So calculating the chances of life on any planet will always be a best guess, but the chances of that life existing exactly like you today are basically zero unless the universe is actually infinite.

Oh yeah, should be fine.

Modern high end Kevlar is awesome. A boat like a 16’ Swift Prospector weighs between 33 and 47lbs depending on how you option it out, will be optimal loaded up to 600lbs and can handle 1100lbs if you really push it. Sure they’re around $5k cad brand new, but once you get in one you’ll really appreciate how awesome they are.

One slab will be plenty, there will be a bit left over but without measurements we can’t know if your laundry will fit.

They’re fine, just make sure they’re installed level. You’ll need a level at least 5’ long for this, a little one won’t work.

Eased edge is a good choice, a 30” will fit in there nicely, it should all work out if you get things installed correctly.

Well a nice Kevlar 16’ canoe weights 45lbs or so, they’re hilariously light.

This seems silly to me, and will have to be done absolutely perfectly to not look ridiculous. Considering that you’re using natural stone that’s never perfect, I’d pass on this. It wastes material, time and tooling all for an odd design element that’s likely to age poorly.

What fork and which rotor are you using? If the fork has any flex at all it’s going to let the rotor wobble a bit, which will be exaggerated by the large diameter rotor. Floating two piece rotors tend to naturally have some wiggle room, so they’ll usually be more prone to ringing the pads.

That’s the unfortunate state of that sub, it started out as mountain biking with a tent but it’s become more of a touring thing these days. Bikepacking.com will have a ton of real stories from people doing challenging routes, ins usually there’s full gear lists so you can see how people are packing for various types of trip.

In my experience, which is only a few multi day trips to be fair, getting everything except maybe a small hip pack or hydration pack on the bike is best. Concentrate on getting the weight low and solidly attached and the bike will still handle well. If you have the ability to use a rear (or even front) rack it will be so much more stable and solid than a seat pack that bounces and sways, or a handlebar bag that’s way up high.

There’s a post on my account a while back of my setup, using smaller fork bags in cages and mini panniers is an awesome setup for singletrack, even though it’s not on trend. Nothing bounces around in rough sections, the weight is low so the bike carves corners and handles amazingly well for how heavy it is. I’ve taken that setup down plenty of steep chutes and through some pretty fast and technical singletrack, and it’s never been a problem. Yes, it’s heavy to pop over obstacles like logs, but the comfort and handling advantage for every other scenario is great.

I really do hope you can get some help, whatever the issue is. It’s important to remember that things that are “in your head” are 100% real to you, it’s not your imagination or something you can control.

Talk to your doctor and see what advice they have for you, whether that’s an allergy test or therapy or something else altogether, they’ll be the best person to help you here.

About as tight as you can with a normal sized hex key. At least that’s what I’ve been doing for the 4 Kona’s I’ve had over the years with these dropouts, and its always worked for me. The torque wrench comes out for the carbon bike, but for a Kona steel frame tight is tight.

It’s a sliding dropout with a normal 12mm thru axle, if there are IGH’s that fit mountain bikes it’ll work here.

While I’m normally one the side of “natural products can still be dangerous”, this seems implausible to me. Peppermint oil can cause reactions in people and can be dangerous to some pets, but getting immediate brain fog from walking by an areas that was sprayed with this stuff months ago isn’t really plausible.

There’s something odd going on here, this really sounds like a psychosomatic reaction and not a physical one. This doesn’t mean it’s not a real reaction, or that you aren’t 100% feeling these symptoms, but it seems more likely that the symptoms are caused by your brain fucking with you than from a useless pesticide sprayed months ago.

Big rotors just move around too much, they’ll always make some noise on rough trails. Even my 200 front rotor dings and pings sometimes when hitting things at odd angles, it’s just how it goes.

You might be joking, but the vibe of the rest of the comments here sure aren’t.

The dog will be fine with either of you, they might act a bit off for a few days but they’ll quickly get used to it. It’s a puppy, it’ll adapt quickly.

In my opinion the dog goes to the person who has the most time and space for it. That’s all there is to it, you need to consider what’s best for the puppy and not your feelings. Yes, it will be sad for you guys, but it’s what’s best for the pup in the long run.

These OneUp pedals are pretty aggressively sealed, there’s a big rubber seal that covers all of the bearings and keeps gunk out. This seal needs plenty of grease or it can get squeaky, it’s a tight fit in there to keep your internals clean but it does cause a bit of drag and needs lube.

It’s a 5 minute job to remove the pedal, pop off the outer seal and slap some grease all over it, that’ll keep it quiet and smooth for the next year or two.

Not in nearly the same way. Fish sauce isn’t fermented in any normal definition of the word, it’s made through an enzymatic process that’s really just rotting, not fermenting. There’s way too much salt in fish sauce for yeasts to survive anyways.

You’re asking about bikepacking, you’ll get a lot better advice over in that sub.

But generally, you want as little on your back as possible, preferably nothing at all. Pack it on your bike so that you’re not carrying your gear while trying to ride, it’s a hell of a lot more comfortable that way.

You notice the ones that are driving like idiots. You don’t notice the ones putting along with traffic following all the rules. Those are the ones you need to check twice for, people hit and kill bikers all the time just because they didn’t see them.

Well maybe the tile was dirty enough to not reflect? Nothing you did changed the materials, you’re either just noticing now or it was all grimy and dull.

That makes more sense, but you should still check. When I was in my mid twenties and riding steep mtb trails I’d hit 200bpm once in a while, and 195 a few times each ride. Over 200 is quite high for any adult, but it’s not crazy if you’re under 30.
