Road jerseys work because they're more figure hugging. MTB jerseys are much looser, so your phone tends to rattle about and jump out of 'road style' pockets.
I'm sure I've seen people do bibs or MTB base layer with pockets, maybe that's more stable. Or just get a fanny pack.

Nice! What’s the tag line for?

I guess it depends how many days you want to do it in. +700m days should be reasonably easy for most confident skiers. +1000m days will be a bit more taxing but ok if they’re spaced out and you’re staying in a manned cabin with decent food.

It depends really on how often she's using it and what type it is. I've found the 'world's best cat litter' as recommended on here clumps very well and I can get away with a full clean every 2-3 weeks. We have two cats which are half in, half out cats.

Not really. Thread lock is good for preventing against loosening with vibration, but higher shear loads will eventually break it.
The other advantage of having the hanger sandwiched against the hub rather than outside the frame is that you end up with a more consitent alignment of wheel and derailleur.

Just thinking of the number of times I've seen kickstands come loose that have two M6 bolts like this:

If you can integrate some kind of pin of geometry that keeps the plate locked in position, the bolts have a much better chance of staying put.

The only concern I would have is that there's nothing keeping the bolts or hanger captive once the wheel is installed. Hanger bolts have a habit of creeping out after repeated stress from a shifting derailleur. Admittedly, that's normally with the tiny M3 jobbies that most brands use, so maybe with a couple of beefy M5s it won't be an issue.

Harvest the nice dirt they bring up, get a cat, and wait for them to leave. Our wills be there one year, then gone the next.
I looked into various repellants but none seemed reliable and they just push the problem to someone else's land.
Voles on the other hand I would gladly remove with dynamite. Little bastards eating the roots from all our chard, pumpkins etc.
I sank 10mm mesh about 30cm down all around our beds which seems to have reduced the amount of loss to the critters.

Neat. Are the two pink parts brazed together? Is there some kind of locking geometry between the hanger and the tab?

I have a 100W uGreen for my HP Z-book. Has worked great travelling in EU, Asia. Bear in mind if you get a 65W charger and your PC needs 65W, then it might not charge if you use other ports on the charger.

My Nespresso Pixie is on it's way out. After 10 years of daily use and a couple of valve changes, I think that's pretty good going.
I'm still torn between the convenience of Nespresso and wanting a nicer coffee. I'm leaning towards a Barista Express or Pro at the moment. I have a cappucino (approximation) every morning and maybe two on a weekend, my wife doesn't drink coffee. I think the Sage Barista machines retain enough of the convenience of a bean-to-cup machine whilst still giving enough control to be able to get a good drink out. I'm currently frothing with an aeroccino 2, so I think any steam wand will be a good upgrade.
Anyone here got strong opinions of Sage Barista Express vs Pro? Main different is the thermoblock I think and the Pro runs a bit quieter.
Is there anywhere I could actually go and try out any of these machines?

My brother worked for a company where they printed the wrong telephone number for a prize competition and accidentally directed callers to a sex hotline. Imagine the confusion on both ends of that phone call.

They look like a wrinkly brit in magaluf doing crunches to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds extremely wasteful

One of the clearest in my experience, and I've never mistaken it for a 25mm hex..

I recently got the Wera Bicycle Set 8 which covers most needed sizes for bikes, including T25 and T30. https://products.wera.de/en/tools_by_trade_tool_sets_for_bicycles_and_e-bikes_bicycle_set_8.html.html

Give em a spray with alcohol then blow them off.

I've seen cats that are pretty keen on using tyres as a scratching post. That doesn't particularly look like cat scratches though.

I guess there'll be a #tinyfuckingframebag to go in there

There's a tiny bit next to the sink, but mainly just small scratches rather than stains.

I have a 3 day window in which I would like to re-oil my wooden worktop. It's been 2 years since it was installed and there are a few scratches and areas where water is starting to get through. Should I be sanding through the old finish first to expose fresh wood everywhere, or am I better just applying oil and waiting a few more years before getting the sander out?

It's a good time of year to get spring bulbs in the ground if you want tulips, daffs etc.

Knipex Twingrips have been out for a while, I've had mine for at least a year it feels like. They are very useful for that once every few year job where you really need them!

It's an 1/8th hex ratchet with a pivoting head and a long extension.

I visited Deen Tools in Taiwan yesterday. I managed to show a surprising amount of restraint given the array of shiny things on offer.
