The plan is already working.

Putting higher share of profits into workers’ bank accounts strengthens aggregate demand. In other words more money for truck loans.

Not a Thudbuster but I used to have one before replacing it with this so I can provide even more info. 🫠 It’s a Kinekt. I liked the Thudbuster and wouldn’t ride without it. My back pain disappeared. That said the Kinekt is better. Specifically because there’s a preload adjustment. The Thudbuster is either bouncy during normal riding or stiffer than you need it due to the nature of its adjustability. You put a different elastomer, each covering a range of weights. It’s fine and it works, but the Kinekt allows for precise adjustment via preload to eliminate bounciness during normal riding. I think the Suntour NCX might be even better and it’s cheaper if you don’t care about its weight.

I don’t recall where I got them from anymore. I think I’ve had them for a decade now. 😂

It’s very good. I haven’t seen signs of breakage yet and it’s permanently loaded with 2.5kg of weight. I was considering an Arkel but it wouldn’t have worked as well for my purpose. I’ve got a convertible Arkel pannier though!

No kidding though, you look at a our made bags and outsource made ones, and there’s a difference in price but not a huge one.

No that's just still Musk level.

So the way to truly delete ones content is to mass edit and replace with "fuck spez"?

Have you made an effort?

Tons upon tons of spam accounts on spam instances:

And some, I assume, are real users.

This guy risk-rewards.

Diaspora, here, we, come!

neighbourbehaviour, 11 months ago

Same. It's on the Fediverse stats page though. Second largest app after Mastodon.

neighbourbehaviour, 11 months ago

Yes.

neighbourbehaviour, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

Testing.

E: Seems to work.

Is System76 a non-profit by any chance?

neighbourbehaviour, 11 months ago

Thanks for the info!

If you were the Chinese military you probably wouldn't like American backdoors in your gear. The American military probably feels similarly.

neighbourbehaviour, 11 months ago

Sure. However not everyone can make everything so if you have to buy something and if that's got a backdoor in it, it's probably preferable to be from an allied country. It's all about risk mitigation.

Indeed their in-house options aren't cheap but then again, the difference in quality is significant. This direct-drive hub motor for example weighs full 2kg less than the equivalent imports. That's all down to engineering, materials used and accuracy of manufacturing. The other options like are significantly cheaper. I'm running a geared Bafang myself due to its lower weight (2.6kg vs 4.2kg). The lower weight is due to the type of motor - geared vs direct-drive. The lapses in quality are obvious. For example water resistance is not great at all. If Grin make an equivalent small and light geared hub, I'd probably buy it as it'll most likely address Bafang's deficiencies and it might be lighter too.

Try a reputable bicycle brand mid-drive ebike at an expo or a store if you get a chance. You may not necessarily want that but it'll give close to the best experience an ebike can give.
