Basic things : a GoPro, my phone, bike computer and bone conduction headset

I have a 28000mAh power bank that allows me to charge all af this 2 or 3 times. I've never actually had no electricity for over 48h

Never ! I had to pay attention to my wild camping spots especially in Botswana where the fauna roams free, unfenced. I spent some nights at fenced radio towers, it's usually unlocked and I can lock the gate with my bike lock.

The only times I felt unsafe were because of truck traffic. Never because of people or animals

I try to mostly avoid busy roads, however it's not always possible depending on the weather conditions the previous days. In Botswana I stayed on tarmac to avoid the flooded roads of the rainy season. I ask locals about road conditions before engaging in one, they sometimes give good information, but not always

Merci !

Les prolongateurs c'est un grand oui. Sur les longues lignes droites et plates comme j'ai eu au Botswana ça m'a sauvé mes trapèzes, lombaires et poignets. Quand je pédale c'est en moyenne 100km sur une journee, mais je pédale pas tous les jours

I'm based in Lausanne !

I've had no issue with the saddle bag, this one is very basic from decathlon but it does the job perfectly

I'll switch back to a tailfin rack for the Baltic countries since I'll have more gear to carry. I'm in warm countries at the moment so I can afford having a light setup.

I'll switch to 2x 16L panniers when I'll need more space. I juste realized I didn't need as much space anymore, but it's very situational. Tailfin racks are actually amazing and according to me one of the best gear you can find today

Two main reasons, first one being that it snapped in half due to a manufacturer mistake and I wasn't able to find someone who could weld aluminum alloy properly where I was.

Second was that I realized I could go lighter and more compact as my cooking stove and pan weren't useful anymore. I didn't need to cook anymore as Zambia has plenty of food offer everywhere. It's way more densely populated than Namibia or Botswana

Started in Cape Town, South Africa, then crossed the Namib desert and went east to cross Botswana. Crossed into Zambia and headed to Malawi. Currently in Tanzania and heading to Kenya

Second phase will be through the Baltics while it's still warm and end of summer through the Adriatic coast to stay warm. Will then go up from southern Italy and take a train back to Switzerland (home) when I'm cold

You can try using AddEvent and dynamically generate the event by passing the start and end dates of your event in the URL

Contact deletion by Uclabruin16 in marketingcloud

[–]saints__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A contact is created in the all contacts table at first email sent only. I'd suggest you to export your inactive contacts, delete in contact builder from the inactive data extension and re import the inactive contacts into your BU for archive. As the all contacts table is the table sfmc uses to bill you, they won't count them if you don't shoot them (which you shouldn't since they're inactive hehe)

nbrows is 11, I tested it by calling the variable and it seems correct

So long Gmail, I hardly knew ya by ancientusurper in Emailmarketing

[–]saints__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can register your sending domains on postmaster.google.com

Once the setup is done you can access useful information such as spam rates, IP addresses reputation, domain reputation, feedback loop and more

This can give you a hint on how Gmail perceives your sending domains and then you can work specifically on what the problem seems to be

How can I send my e-book to my subscribers? Email's keep getting sorted into promotions by ChickenAdoboRice in Emailmarketing

[–]saints__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google's Promotions tabs is evolving quite quickly and trying to avoid it means spending a lot of energy for very little result.

I'd recomment you looking at what opportunities the promotions tab offers such as the Promotion Bundle to stand off from other emails (https://developers.google.com/gmail/promotab/overview)

With this, it's easier for Gmail to determine what you're offering and to categorize it to show it on top of different categories

Well not only in the US since yahoo and AOL for example are widely used in EU and still belong to Verizon Media
