Will it be kicking off at red state capitols as well you reckon? In blue states I'd now just expect the governors to call out the national guard.

Good spot; Modelcraft also seem to do a 2mm shaft collar, which would be a closer fit for bike cabling. Less #buyer bling at £3.50 a 10-pack, mind...

Daily cases seemed to have dropped again - restrictions finally kicking in?

From the reporting I read she'd not yet technically been discharged when she went on the march, so still potentially subject to military justice, court-martial, etc.

How much were they, out of interest? I saw the announcement, but then totally forgot to check the website...

I think Velo Orange have sold them in the past, so dunno if Fresh Tripe etc. will get any.

Did you mean 00? A Di Maria do 5kg bags of Dalla Giovanna 00 for £6.25; their delivery charges mean it's best to do a bulk order of things though.

AIUI it's the Capitol Police, though they obviously liaise with other agencies for big events. It does just sound like they dropped a massive bollock here in underestimating Y'All Quaida...

The lot in front of the Lincoln memorial were military police; not sure if they were DC National Guard (who can be called out by the President) or something else. Point is it's perfectly possible to plaster DC with police and military if you want to.

The SQR block has a 'large bands' option, which is for seatposts up to 40mm diameter, but I guess that's still a bit small (and you'd have to pad the seatpost out to a more circular shape)? You might be able to hack some shape together that fits the seatpost and the block - if you look at the instructions linked from the SJS page there's an exploded drawing on there ( https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/luggage/carradice-sqr-quick-release-mounting-block-for-sqr-saddlebag-uplift/ )

Is it a carbon seatpost? I'd be quite leery of tightening the support block on there - I've head various reports of people having failures this way.

Bottles of Camden 2020 Imperial Pilsner (should that be Kaiser- u. Königlich Pilsner?) reduced to £3.50 in the supermarket, so I bought one to try. It's a bit weird - though it says it's aged in wine and brandy barrels, I'm getting a lot of young vanilla oak in there, a bit like the Innis and Gunn beers. Not much acidity, and then a bitter finish that's more like a Pilsner, alongside the (10%!) alcohol mouthfeel. Worth it for the experiment, but if I'd paid a tenner a bottle I'd have been less pleased.

Nicholson Baker is a great writer and essayist, but is slightly prone to bees in his bonnet. It's an elegant and plausible piece, but it's entirely circumstantial. Baker also wrote a book about the US use of biological weapons in the Korean War, and his struggles with the Freedom of Information Act and military classification, so that experience may well have shaped his thinking.

IIRC impeachment proceedings can bar you from future public office on a simple majority vote*, which would put the kibosh on a 2024 run for Trump?

*I don't think you have to have been removed from office for this to apply.

Sorry @amey, even #buyer status doesn't exempt you from the laws of physics. Lights-on drag is higher for all hubs, including SONs (and even poverty hubs usually have drag within 1W of the posh ones); what paying the premium gets you is lower lights-off drag.

I'm not sure they ever will; there's always another layer of conspiracy that can be added to paper over the cracks. I mean, I recently saw there's a new Nostradamus 'documentary' on Netflix, seemingly untroubled by the fact that his prophecies have had zero predictive value since forever, and have been the target of debunkings for at least as long... Unfortunately, the reservoir of resentment that's the wellspring of Trumpism and Q's appeal isn't going anywhere soon.

Buy a set of handbuilt touring wheels from someone like Spa and fit as wide a set of tyres as the frame will take? Or if you know a friendly wheel builder, if you use NOS 7-speed hubs, IIRC you can respace them to give a nearly dishless rear wheel.

(Except that's a CH-53 - the Mi-26 is what you use to pull one of those out...)

Didn't Woodrup use BJ to paint their frames? Guess that might have been a factor. Still, sad.

Sad day indeed. Guess the extra investment fell through?

I'd just ring/email Carradice and ask them; I'd imagine they might sell you one, as they're pretty good at spares and repairs.

^^ quite; viscerally satisfying though it may be to see the salty mace-induced tears of Elizabeth from Knoxville (and I'm aware that's an ignoble impulse we shouldn't be basing policing policy on), softly-softly crowd control is in itself a good thing. But what then needs to happen is US Marshals busting down the doors of Q Shaman and Lectern Looter and hauling them off to court.

Fucking hell.

Nope, he ceases to be president as of noon on Jan 20; if nobody's been confirmed as a successor then it's IIRC the house majority leader that assumes the authority, so it would be President Pelosi.

Let's see some tear gas unleashed on these motherfuckers, or is that reserved for anti-fascists only?

How's the chain tensioned - horizontal dropouts, eccentric BB, chain tensioner? In principle you should be able to use the same method for an IGH without issues. There's a huge thread about Alfine fettling on the CTC forums; from memory the A8 is less temperamental/more reliable than the A11, and in UK all-weather use it will benefit from oil or semi-fluid grease lubrication rather than the factory setup. IIRC you'll need different no-turn washers for different dropout geometries - there will be a Shimano techdoc somewhere with the details. Depending on where you get the hub from, you may need to buy shifters/cable joints/dropout washers separately. I think Alfine only has rapidfire trigger shifters as standard; I don't know whether a Nexus 8 twist shifter has the same cable pull. Microshift make a bar-end Alfine shifter, but early versions were very temperamental; I think later versions are better. In any case Alfine hubs are very particular about cable setup and quite sensitive to cable adjustment, though once set up OK they're fine.

Though worth remembering antibodies are just one part of the immune system's response, and just because antibody levels have come down doesn't mean that one has lost immunity.

Yes, marginally. Some more recent lights have a DRL mode where they power an auxiliary set of LEDs in the daytime - which uses less power - and then switch on the main beam at night.
