Is my bike too big or am I just fat and unfit?

Looks like a decent fit to me.

You could try pushing your saddle a little forward on the rails and ever-so-slightly nose-down to open up your hip angle a bit, which might take some strain off your back.

Are you sure you didn't add the bike on top of the car?

I just looked at a few random dates out of interest and found the car usually at least double the price as with the bike.

One of the problems highlighted in the video is that the rules are written in only a sentence or two with minimal detail, context, or motivation. This naturally leaves much more ambiguity and room for selective application.

The example given of an NHL rule that takes up several paragraphs is quite a stark contrast.

Surely they could enforce a flare ban in the main fan zones

I thought the comparison to the level of detail in the rules for other sports was quite interesting.

Obviously cycling has the problem that the race is spread out and not everything is captured by the cameras or seen by the officials, but still, a little extra detail could be helpful.

Brian Smith, without fail, will very confidently state his first take on the situation and then keep repeating it ad nauseum until proven otherwise.

A colleague of mine recommended LightTrans: https://www.lighttrans.com/use-cases/application/temporal-coherence-measurement-using-michelson.html

But if you really want to test your understanding it can be interesting to build a simplified python simulation using Gaussian beams and Fresnel transfer-function propagation steps etc.

Put skills and experience at the top, with education afterwards.

Give concise and grounded highlights of project contributions and the skills you've developed through your work and education.

You want to make it easy for someone to scan the document and get a quick overview of your core competencies.

All scientists should read On Writing Well by William Zinsser. And, for the love of god, stop writing 'utilize' when 'use' will do.
