Used to ride 200km a week, now down to something like 50 to 100. Every other month I'll pump up the tires. Naturally, if any long trips are planned, I will double-check. That said, I do carry a hand pump and adapters to top up along the way. Of course, commuting in a city known for beer also brings broken bottles with it, so some months I will have to change tubes and refill way more often, though Schwalbe Marathon tires go a long way in reducing these occasions.

I also ran into this problem with a company printer and network restrictions. I solved it by using my personal personal phone to set up a wifi hotspot. Then I connected the printer to that hotspot and did the QR code binding.

Afterwards I reconnected the LAN to the company network and was able to print from the slicer from my PC.

Sadly no, only whenever you manage to match up schedules with the game group...

Also look into adding thrusters and turbines to the back and maybe some side sails, treasure planet style.

In the children of Huron by Tolkien Hurin is chained atop a mountain and his family cursed to suffer ill fates while he has to watch the downfall of his house.

In the Pandora's Star books by Peter F. Hamilton they have the "mind is frozen for a thousand years" as a pretty standard punishment.

Also some Greek legends come to mind, they have some gruesome fates in there and sysiphus and his rock is one of the easiest ones.

If you know someone with a 3d printer, they might be able to fashion a mount for it. I just did the same for my drone RC, also connected to a quad lock adapter.

I added the stls and some instructions to the readme, feel free to reach out if you need more.

I'd put down soul music by Pratchett, but lots of other disk world ones are superb as well.

If you are more into slap stick, both skulduggery pleasant and grave of empires were highly amusing as well.

I use a Pajak xc3. It fits hand luggage sizings, folds/compresses/extends nicely and carries easily. It also wasn't prohibitively expensive. It also has a distinctive look to it and in case that is not enough, I stenciled my first name on the grey part in 10cm high letters so everybody in travel groups always knows whose bag it is.

If you carry lots of electronics, unpacking for TSA is more of a hassle than with clamshells, but if I go on holiday, I'm usually so packed with tech I'm dissected by TSA anyway (I'm often the photographer of the group). So I just dump all electronics in an internal bag and pack that on top in the main compartment while flying. Small laptop lives closest to my back if needed. Hoodie or rain jacket plus tube shawl and other comfort items go in the outer mesh pockets (which also fits shoes nicely).

So far I've not had any problems with rain getting into it, but a pack liner (read trash bag) is the recommended solution in case you are worried.

The roll top makes unwanted access by folk around you pretty unlikely, especially if you are on the larger side. Still doesn't prevent theft of the entire bag or cutting it open to get access naturally.

Overall, I can definitely recommend it, but naturally you have to provide internal organization for it, either in the form of zip lock bags, compression packs, dry bags or whatever else you come up with. But I do that with any kind of luggage lest I go mad when I search stuff. And if you carry less, less organization is needed anyway.

Lots of others have left solid advice and accurate experiences with the field, so I'm just gonna leave some good resources about front end stuff: https://internetingishard.netlify.app/

Telegram chat bot for a student print service. Trawled the incoming mails to report on outstanding orders, Requested data from a database and gave daily reminders to people if there was work to do.

Socks, preferably neoprene and a buff tube shawl to prevent sores from rubbing from bcd and fins.

I used to have a 27km one way route mostly on separated bike lanes, back country roads, and 8km of forest road. I plugged in a podcast, switched off my brain and just kicked it. One of my fastest rides was a warm, but super dark summer night after work, where I turned on a podcast off a DnD session in which the players got hunted by wolves. I don't think I ever raced through that forest so fast :D

Also I crossed a large farm on the route. They had a gigantic guard dog which would trot out pretty regularly and make sure I wasn't posing any harm to the family. After a few times I made friends with it and always stopped to pet it.

One of the other best parts was the look of disbelief from coworkers you get after having an evening beer when you tell them you're still going home by bike while they are grumblingbabout their much shorter walk home. And you know you're going to enjoy the trip.

I actually share OP's sentiment. I used regolith (with Ubuntu) for half a year on work machines, but eventually found downloading I3 and dropping in my existing dot files was less of a hassle than figuring out where regolith decided to move this and that part of the config. I'm still a fan of what regolith is doing, I just think my work flow was too customized (read too far gone) at that point already to justify bending it to fit regolith again. The advantage was that my dotfiles are pretty system agnostic, as long as I3 or sway exists, I run my usual setup.

Clearly mark front and back with big stickers, tape or such things during assembly. Every time you switch halves or components while assembling, check that you are trying to solder them on the right side of the right half. Don't end up with diodes on the sides where your switches go...

Also check your LEDs before soldering the switches. They are very heat sensitive, figure out the right soldering temperature before you start with them. You might want to grab the circuit diagram with the LED chain order starting from the microcontroller and solder and check them one by one until they all work.

The effect is probably also influenced by key spacing. If you use choc spacing, your keys are closer together anyway, resulting in less reaching motions for keys further out, therefore the way back will also be shorter and result in less deviation. Naturally finger length/hand size will have a similar influence.

My personal layout has 4 1u keys for each thumb and I never had any problems reaching them, but then I spend 15mins placing the thumb cluster exactly where my thumbs fall naturally. If your keyboard is just a general fit to your hand, that experience might differ. I would trade less wide, harder to hit 1u keys for more, easily reachable thumb keys any day, but that is another debate.

While I would regularly prefer the sidewalk, in our cities most sidewalks have no space for bikes.

Shop signs, lamp posts, weirdly parking cars, bikes and pedestrians crowd it up way to much. Many inner city lanes here are limited to 30 to 50kph, so with my 30-40kph I fit right in and often outpace most car traffic in the rush hour anyway.

Many central European cities were built in the middle ages and don't support anywhere near as many lanes as e.g. US towns do. Accordingly, cars are smaller, and people feel less need for space around them. When biking in Seattle I remember cars switching to different lanes to give me space (super nice) on a lane which would have fit 2-2.5 German lanes. It was a weird experience.

I can also assure you that me+bike 120kg average is an unpleasant encounter for any missed obstacle on a sidewalk. Might not be lethal, but I would expect a doctor's visit afterwards if I don't manage to brake significantly.

Of course all road traffic tends to be a lethal threat, but still safer IMHO most of the time: Cars also tend to move in a pretty straight line most of the time, turn only at intersections and for parking spots and are easily predictable. Pedestrians however tend to jump onto bikelines if you ring a bell, which would be hilarious if it wasn't dangerous. They also stop and waive around as if they owned the sidewalk (which they do in my country /s)

I've designed a keyboard with splay between index and middle finger and without any to the ring finger a year ago to fit it to my hand.

While ymmv obviously, I've been happy with it and like it more than having no splay (previous experiences where with Alice (buzz saw), ergodox ez, crkbd).

I feel that it is a fairly personal thing and depends on typing style, tenting angle, cushioning of wrists, key size and spacing and many more things, and the best way is to print out a possible layout prototype on paper and ghost type it to see how it could feel.

Ben valleck has a yt video on the full keyboard design process where he also shows a website which will track finger movement and align columns for a layout. I currently have a bad connection so finding it is an exercise I leave to you.

Depends on the country. Some have laws where it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk, e.g. In Germany it is allowed only if you're a child, otherwise you ride the bike lane if it exists or the street.

I feel like getting only that is rare, often at least one character is a bit younger, but some of the main cast being well experienced is pretty common. Especially the old hand / young gun combo

7 blades in black / Grave of empires - Sam sykes

Later books in the first law setting are also great and some have some pretty grizzled heroes, usually northmen

Johannes cabal the necromancer also has a hero who has been a bit around the block before the book starts

Guards guards by Terry Pratchett has Sam vimes as one of the main characters, who also has his fair share of experience

Basically all of the books of the disk world witches books also feature nanny ogg and granny weatherwax, they also know their stuff pretty well

If you spread out into sci fi, Peter F Hamiltons Greg Mandel triology has Greg and is worth a read. His book Pandora's star starts with recruiting the old Mars mission astronauts decades later for the first true ftl flight.

I was actually super sleepy at a festival where they played once and napped for 15 mins during their show. Felt super refreshed afterwards, so I can recommend that.

I'm on the far side of 100kg and just below 30 BMI as well. I tend to overtake a lot of people, and get some strange looks, but it is generally more due to my overly repaired bike looking like something out of mad max or me overtaking people in lycra while wearing a shirt and jeans rather than my size - at least that's what I always assumed. Just enjoy the fact that you don't need to think about shelling out for components 200g lighter, you won't notice anyway...

Real housewives of Barovia is also a nice add-on inside raven loft castle for this.
