Back after 3 years; having ChainBear back is a pleasant surprise for sure.

>10 cutting discs on an angle grinder. So not really reasonably.

Though they do mention that usually bike racks are easier to cut through than that anyways.

Would love to see some of the 3d models showing how this all fits together.

I do like how modular the shifting mechanism is in SRAM levers. I’ve seen aftermarket parts available for these sort of 10-11 or road11 > mountain12 swaps. Also easy to remove whole shift mechanism for 1x or singlespeed setups.

Tried to find some info on the Falcon Heavy grey paint. For those that don’t know, apparently it was an adjustment made to the falcon heavy upper stages, to increase the heating on the RP1 tank, to try to prevent freezing during long coast phases.

I have yet to try these new Shimano derailleurs, but reviews I have seen seem to indicate that that amount of chain slap is a definite step backwards.

I am inclined to think that the damping added to the suspension system by a derailleurs is fairly minimal compared to the actual forces involved, and worth the trade-off for systems with a reasonable amount of chain growth.

So this was the first thing I saw that made me think: 'oh, of course 4680 lights exist. Did some googling and found some lights and batteries, but not much in the way of chargers that would accept something that big. I guess most/all of the lights currently would have integrated charging.

Has anyone tried anything like this? Beyond 21700 in cell size?

Quick summary seems to be that they’re using it to monitor the stars that Webb is seeing planets pass in front of. To better model that stars behaviour with prolonged observation. To better understand whether signals that look like water and methane are really from the passing planet, or just from changes in the star’s activity over time.

Finding one guy’s dick to suck hardly qualifies as starting a cult.

Had more difficulty with this one than I have previous Raddles.

PAGWGs? (Phat-Ass Great-White Girls)

Hyped for this!

Wonder why they decided to announce both at the same time though. Seems like a bit of an odd choice.

What I got was a bit bluer teal, I think. Didn’t feel like a colour that couldn’t be reproduced by adding a bit of blue to the mix, but definitely different than just the teal on the screen on its own.

Interesting video though.

Anyone know what the heck the Pozidriv/Round Hole combo is for?

Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. As a sort of smart cluster munition from space. Drop this anywhere, with a starlink receiver and control transmitter built in for the drones. Then dozens/hundreds of targeted strikes anywhere, without multiple missiles or deploying any troops.

It’s hard for me to see the value of a 500kg box of drones that can be delivered to anywhere the US military is, vs just many 500kg boxes of drones in vehicles wherever troops are deployed already.

If it doesn’t enable deploying troops, then whatever it is could likely just be sent the same way they are.

Nevertheless, an interesting technology, and will likely find a use, with a more specific use-case.

Judging by the average altitude above current sea level of the Netherlands, they may BE the climate refugees.

Do we have a sense of what that could have been? Looked to me like it was in the middle of the leeward side, but not sure of my perspective based on the camera view there.
