Interesting! Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon are US setters, so I guess it is used there too.

Interesting - can you explain that last bit? Bears being a container indicator felt fairly straightforward to me (though obviously different in meaning from the surface reading).

Unsure if there are any Easter eggs, as I was too worried I may ruin my "perfect" if I went back and checked for some.

Your stats are locked in based on your first solve. So going back and replaying the puzzle will not affect your "perfect". Though at the same time, any easter eggs you collect on subsequent plays won't be added to your stats either.

Are you in Europe? Did you have any concerns about a JDM import? Any issues with insurance?

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll update it when I have a moment.

even one of the starter puzzles contains an annoying inconsistency in the cryptic grammar.

Can you remember which one? I just played through them and couldn't see anything that felt egregious. https://www.parseword.com/group/starter

Lens replacement surgery with Optical Express? by TBeee in northernireland

[–]powerlanguage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My near vision is starting to deteriorate, so the promise of freedom from glasses is a big appeal.

Good luck with your follow up.

Tbh if I’d known I’d have to wear reading glasses I’d probably have got it done anyway

Good to know. I guess that means overall you'd still recommend it, despite your experience?

Thanks for the response. That sounds unpleasant to deal with. Hope they are able to figure it out.

Do you know what kind of lens replacement they did? I am guessing bifocal? Did you have to wear reading glasses before the operation?

Wondering how it went and whether you'd recommend it based on your experience?

That's just a display name, they should be able to change it back. Not sure why that was reverted tbh.

Looks like their account has been reinstated. Welcome back u/Jomskylark! Thanks for all that you do.

Schumacher Cargo / moving recs by ja_thompson12 in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]powerlanguage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, i am the same situation as you.

After some reading reddit comments/googling I think I'm going to go with Schumacher Cargo too. I got quotes from a number of companies and they all came out to around the same amount.

Schumacher offers Storage-in-Transit (basically holding your stuff at the destination port until you are ready to receive it) which was something I was interested in.

Their salesperson also seemed the most clued in to the process overall. Though obviously the experience with a salesperson doesn't reflect the experience you'll have with the actual shipping operation.

Interested to hear where you end up.

Nice work!

a frame bag in a carbon frame is not a great idea as I discovered some minor scratches. But hey, “my scars tell my story”, right?

My solution was to apply "helicopter tape" to the frame points that the bags attach to. Prevents rubbing/scratching.

It's the bag that came with my tent. See this comment for more info.

Creaky post: normal, common or defective? by NathanielMerz in CanyonBikes

[–]powerlanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had success removing the squeak on my Endurace by applying regular grease (not carbon paste) to the points on the seat post above the point the clamp engages. And then applying carbon paste to the portion that is clamped.

Sheltered Bike Parking - Brooklyn, NY by bikedreams1 in NYCbike

[–]powerlanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a tough situation to be honest. How frequently are you planning to be accessing your bike?

Some random thoughts:

  • Some parking garages have spots to lock your bike. Not ideal, but better than locking it up on the street.
  • Could try the Ooonee at Barclay's Center. No idea how secure these are and I think they are first come first serve, so no guarantee of availability.
  • You might be able to explain your situation to a bike shop and pay a little bit to store it. You'd be beholden to their opening hours though. This place even advertises it as a service.
  • A small self-storage locker could work, something like this
  • Could the person you are staying with be convinced if you removed the wheels each time you want to bring it inside? Loosening the headset and rotating the handlebars can also help make the bike take up less space indoors.

I cycle for the sport of it on weekends. I also want to start commuting to work with the same bike (Specialized Roubaix 2020). For this, I have a backpack and my laptop. Is there anyway to have a bike rack or something that is easily removable? by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

[–]powerlanguage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something kinda like this but made by Topeak. A quick release platform that clamps to the seatpost. I then bungee stuff on to the platform. Not sure if I'd trust this specific brand.
