As per @MicroDosed™ Bitex are good (I've got a set of LB wheels built up with them). Also have a set with novatec hubs

These were Valencia airport WHSmiths at least :)

Anyone playing Baldur's Gate 3? Loved the originals, wondering if it's worth getting it (on my mac M2)

Fried egg

Obviously not F1, but a great story...

Perversely, it's why I usually prefer mix-tap coke to bottled coke.

New book and it's in lots of news media today. I think previously, there wasn't a lot of precise detail but he supposedly did it to stop a specific set of drone attacks on the Russian navy to avoid inflicting "strategic defeat" on Russia. Supposedly he thought he was preventing a nuclear war... equally likely tho, is he likes Putin.

practical

Not sure what she could wear that would render her incapable of presenting sports shows on TV. Unless it stopped her speaking of course.

suitable

I think she and her employers are going to be the judge of that

Jesus the commentary "fill" is awful. "Ourselin... his name sounds like the little birds that they keep in a box and feed on cognac".

That's Ortolan... Ourselin is a fucking sea urchin. You don't need to make up links if there's one sitting staring you in the face.

For me it's because holidays are over and I'm busy at work. If I get to watch the highlights it's a bonus

When I had a shed in the UK, I secured the bikes with a couple of shed shackles. They wouldn't stop someone forever but they'd have to smash the shed to bits to get the bikes which might alert me or a neighbour.

I recall my challenge tyres being hard to fit but were okay after a few months of riding

About 20% of our company out with covid at the moment... some are not too sick so working from home, others are flat out in bed. I've had a shitter of a cold but testing negative with the same company supplied tests that are giving positives to others.

I think it helps. A colleague tried to start on the first netflix one and then went back and found it more enjoyable.

In the end I called a mate in Australia and asked him to post one to the hotel I'll stay at when I first arrive. Seemed easier than the faff of buying one from China, Australia or the US.

On that subject, is there any easy way to ID what retina screen you have? The replacements online all list a load of model numbers but do I just pick whatever they say works for a mid-2017 13" retina with function keys (my personal one got knocked off a desk at work).

Apple don't sell single ones, only the "travel pack" which includes 2x US, UK, 3x EU, and one aus one. I'll just "borrow" one at the office i think

The website has Shirin Van Rooij 3rd and 4th...

Thanks; that's the problem. Loads of EU/UK/US ones, not much Australian.

Is there any way to get real apple power-supply adapters for traveling without paying the 30-40 for a "travel pack" which includes a load of ones I'll never use? I left my Australian one somewhere and want to replace it for my macbook but other than some on ebay, I've found nothing.

Or they were shot at the meeting and the whole "they were on the plane" part is bullshit.

I'm in group 7 on a rental BMC Timemachine I think. 5:30am start for one of the slow groups, I'll toss my LFGSS jersey in the case so yell when you go past.

If they had unlimited ordnance maybe they could saturate a small corridor and blow up all the mines in it.

Too many variables; if you get a lot of shit on the pads, they can wear VERY fast with some organic compound pads. Metallic/semi (as per @andyp ) will help but ultimately, there's no hard and fast rule. I tend to have a spare set for my bikes and whenever I change, buy more so there's always at least one set available.

I've just replaced a 4 year old set of ultegra discs which have seen maybe 20k km and are still "okay" but they're going on a less used set of wheels now.
