Nice read! Exactly what I hoped someone to bring up, as I also heard about desert garments not being white. Castelli has to research in “hovering” garments fluctuating on the riders body then :D
My first bike build journey has officially started: the frame I wrote about some days ago is on its way, and the wheels just came in! I hope you appreciate a couple of close-ups.
Model and specs:
Any comment is appreciated!
Interesting! Would be nice to have the death rate and not only the absolute values.
Not really, I always had pretty neutral striking. The good thing, in my view, is that minimal footware forces you to stride correctly. One should not overthink forefoot strike, it can do more bad than good. An actual good strike is putting the whole foot down, with the front impacting slightly before the heel. Full forefoot striking is only possible while sprinting.
Full convert here, cannot wear anything else (apart from on road bike shoes for obvious reasons).
Really nice post! But I rate converse as flat but stiff and heavy, in addition to narrow.
Take it easy with running or you risk injuring yourself! I run either with Vibram FiveFingers or with sandals, the ground feel and control is unsurpassed, but you have to slowly get used to it. Then you can run barefoot on concrete with no problems :)

Ich verstehe nicht, ob Fruchtbarkeit an sich eine Rolle in dieser Studie spielt? Wenn das Kinderwunsch gleich bleibt aber die Geburten sinken, könnte es nicht zur reduzierten biologischen Fruchtbarkeit zurückzuführen sein? Die nennen nur psychologische Grunde. Habe ich was verpasst?
To be fair, they announced the CLA already this year.
But I agree nonetheless
Esterbrook is probably the most prominent, but not comparable to the big boys. Pelikan dominates the entry level school market (I think Germany is one of the very few places where a fountain pen is prescribed at school?), but higher end is a totally different range. Lamy is more consistent with options at all price levels.
FYI: Lamy has recently been bought by Uniball if I’m not mistaken
I feel strange saying it, but ChatGPT could have helped (they state they used it to parse some T&C). I understand the craft going into an article is felt as something personal, but I had the feeling of reading the same paragraph over and over for most of the text. I enjoyed it in the end, but it took me two days to find the time :D
It’s a visibility issue, full wets would only exacerbate the problem… I agree with the frustration but I must admit it makes sense
A better list would be an empty list.

Hullo! I need some help with my home-theater/music-listening setup:
- I'm NOT an audiophile and very limited knowledge of audio, but I would like to find the best compromise with the hardware I'm dealing with
- speakers: old 2× TSM Puris 400
- video devices: Apple TV 4K + EPSON projector (wall mounted, away from amp and speakers)
- current amp: old Technics SU-X70 (I also use a Technics turntable attached to it)
- current streaming solution: Eve Play as AirPlay 2 receiver for Apple TV
Now, the Eve Play has proven unreliable and the company customer service is terrible. It is also very limited, but I can return it for full refund. I am looking at the following alternatives:
- Replace the Eve Play with a Wiim Pro or Pro Plus, while keeping the Technics amp
- Replace both the Eve Play and the amp with a Wiim Amp (not Amp Pro as it lacks AirPlay)
- Replace my whole audio system with 2× HomePods (pls don't insult me!) or other AirPlay capable speakers (I would give away turntable compatibility this way)
I cannot run cables from my projector to the location of the amp/speakers, so please understand my constraint of having to use AirPlay 2.
Summing up, I'd like to know if:
- an old amp is still perfectly viable or a Wiim Amp could give any improvements?
- anyone has experience with a Wiim Pro or Pro Plus, for both music and movies?
- I think it's worth keeping the speakers: any downsides that I don't know of? I read that speakers don't really get old
- do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any tips!

Of the ratchet or the carbon? :)
I like them! I could have paid less for lighter and probably stiffer wheels by 9Velo, Lightbicycle or Elite but these don’t look too bad of a deal.
