Nice! Here's the BBC News segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0cQgAhfLxo

The Strava route planner is quite slick, and available without the paid account. Allows you to export GPX/TCX, so not just for use within the app on a phone.

Nice: allows you to view a 'heatmap' which gives you a good idea of popular routes.

Not so nice: doesn't always distinguish surfaced roads from unsurfaced tracks, and popular routes may be busy commuter routes.

I've found it handy for getting an idea for ride routes in areas I'm not at all familiar with.

Sort of discussed indirectly a day or two ago in this thread.

Basically, either:

download a whole country from garmin.openstreetmap.nl's GUI if your device will support a file that size, as there'll be a direct download. Or you might be lucky if someone's already had a file prepared for a region of a country.

or install Garmin's BaseCamp application, and then download the BaseCamp compatible OSM map (see https://www.lfgss.com/comments/13550165/ for UK). BaseCamp will allow you to cut the map down and export it to your device.

This may or not be useful to anyone else, but with time on my hands I seem to have traced my frequent Edge 810 crashes to the filesystem on the SD card being corrupted every time after connecting to my PC via USB. Even when 'safely removing' (unmounting) the USB device before unplugging.

The Windows filesystem check (via the SD card's Properties dialog) didn't seem to help, perhaps because Windows always mounts the drive and so the corruption occurs after it's run.

I've managed to fix it on a Linux system though.

fsck /dev/sdb1 -av

Personal success, and I only had to buy another PC, install and learn basic Linux.

Which is the best paint marker for obscuring logos engraved/laser etched on black components?

To be fair it's fine - for the au pair's room

Was gifted too me when I worked in the Sq Mile by EC1 during a failed smooze.

I actually believe him - that is not the duvet cover of a thrusting young banking/advertising executive

The difference in speed between single channel and dual channel RAM is tiny.

I feel like I saw hundreds of these in the early 2000s. Is that an R headtube logo for Raleigh or Ridgeback? But I have a feeling it's some other now-dead UK brand.

Pretty much any PCIe eSATA card will do.

SATA 3 supports faster transfer than SATA 2. This is academic for a standard HDD but may make a difference if you were to move to an SSD.

You could also consider a USB3 to eSATA cable, or a new USB3 enclosure (assuming it's a standard HDD inside).

The top slot looks like a PCIe x16 slot, so it'll take any PCIe card, and the second one down a legacy PCI slot - ignore that one.

This guy on Ebay is worth a watch. I got a pair of DT Swiss 240s hubs / R460 rims with Aerolite spoke and KCNC titanium QRs for just under £300 last year. 1470g without QRs.

Slightly after Brexit vote too I think.

R460s are very good value by the way - light, fashionable width and shape, pinned not welded but that makes little difference.

what colour energies do you have in your team?

although it turns out to just mean doing the latest version of those organisational personality tests

I think this is a good counterpoint to other posts - you don't always need a complete change of direction (and accompanying risk, upheaval) to make a huge difference in your life, and it's worth working out if there's a way to use existing experience in a different job in broadly the same area or industry.

Even moving to a different department may give you e.g. a line manager with a very different outlook, and gives you a good chance at dropping elements of your job which frustrate (like that tedious thing you have to do every Friday which takes much longer than anyone realises)

Sure there might be a pay or responsibility cut, but in the long term you may be building more comprehensive experience.

I would have thought that most video players would handle that on full screen, even if OS/video card settings/monitor doesn't?

Also, remember a 34" ultra wide is only as physically tall as as a 27" HD shaped screen. So most video, shown with black bars at sides will be only as big as it would be on a 27". Although not sure if the screen in your photo is HD shape.

Cool, just checking my suggestions weren't way off. Thanks for reminder about New Forest, as you say it's pretty quick to get to.

I responded earlier, but can I just check -- when you say gravel, do you literally mean that, or any unpaved tracks that are suitable for a CX bike -- i.e. not very rocky/rooty or thick horse-churned mud all year round?

Ah but I'd need these on the bike - Adam Blythe's Nike branded home-mades (unless Nike make them for him now):

And can go from Richmond up the Thames as far as Weybridge (not sure how much is paved in the other direction), but expect it to be very busy around Richmond and Hampton Court in good weather/weekends.

C-suite

Not a full answer but to cover a bit of ground, maybe take a look at National Cycle Routes 20 from Wandsworth (Wandle Trail) or 21 from Greenwich. These give you access to North Downs Way, Surrey Hills area with very dense trails and ultimately South Downs and Brighton. Epsom is a good starting point if you want to get a train out and avoid urban sprawl.

Holds are pressurised, same as cabin. Also, if you ban carrying laptops, it makes it more difficult for one to be passed to a passenger after security, which is what was alleged to have occurred in the Somali airliner incident.

Exactly. While this is getting off the subject, I bet the return on investment (almost always goods and services in kind, not hard cash) can be incredible for some products and audiences. Especially where it 'disrupts' restrictions on marketing to kids on TV, or alcohol, gambling, etc

And for everyone who is compensated now, there'll be 100 people who'll do it for free in the hope that they might be compensated in future. Or just because everyone else does.

Somewhat related: I was a bit shocked when my 10 year old niece broadcast what was effectively a promo for a makeup brand. Of course she's just copying what she's seen teenage beauty bloggers doing.
