How important is the tires weight?
  • Rolling resistance has way more of an effect than weight. But that said, I would never trade off durability for weight especially for a commuter/bike touring bike. Punctures are a drag any time but especially when you are carrying a load.

  • Forests are losing their ability to hold carbon
  • Forget aging trees. Canadian forests are ablaze basically wiping out any green reductions in CO2 emmissions from industry or consumers. Besides the loss of property, wildlife and hopefully NOT people, it will take a long time for the Canadian Boreal forest to actually be an active carbon sink again.

  • ThinkPad @lemmy.ml Almostarctic @lemmy.world

    choose your upgrade RAM carefully

    I have a Gen 3 Thinkpad E14 (Ryzen 5 5500) with updated BIOS (8GB RAM and and 240 SSD) WIn10 PRO

    I looked at the specs and saw that DDR4-3200 16GB non-ECC, CLL 22 was the spec and picked up the module from a local bricks and mortar for $40 CDN. GSKILL branded.

    Followed the procedure and unplugged, opened up, disconnect battery, insert RAM, check it's seated, Reconnect battery. Close up. power up. Got black screen. With power light continually on. Left it for 5 minutes thinking it's memory training. No luck. Pushed power button. Turned it off and turned it back on and came up with the splash screen.

    after a few trials I found that the computer would only boot up on the 2nd time of powering up. 1st time would black screen, 2nd time would boot as per normal. Did some forum hunting and tried a different brand same spec memory (Crucial). Instantly booted up. and works like normal.

    Check forums for successful and unsuccessful brands of RAM as it seems like Lenovo is whitelisting even though the paper specs are the same.

    My current commuter.
  • I also have the chromoly Rove but in Silver. Love this bike. It is a real workhorse. I changed out the handlebars for Surly TruckStops which gives a slightly more upright riding position. Perfect for riding in town and among traffic. I run WTB Horizon's or Ventures when it is wet.

  • Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
  • The 5 submariners chances of being rescued are very slim at this point but much much higher than the 500 migrants still missing off the coast of Greece who took to the waters not for a joy ride but to escape war and seek a better life.
