I like the show "The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy" and I'm wondering about the graphical style. It reminds me of early high-resolution (for the time) but low color depth (<= 256 colors, often just 16) computer artwork. I assume that is on purpose but I cannot find it discusses anywhere.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

IMHO the latest #EzraKleinShow is one of the most disgusting episodes. Especially strange to quote JDV’s claim that the Nazi jokes were kids fooling around without mentioning these kids were over 30.

I just realized that having horizontal dropouts and full fenders makes it hard to get the rear wheel out. Oh well. #fixedGear #fixedGearLife

If you care about bicycle safety, please do not ask for bicycle helmet laws. It makes cyclists less safe. Having more people on bicycles makes cycling safer (by creating awareness, by showing demand for more safe infrastructure, ...). Bicycle helmet laws prevent people from cycling.

I prepared my Wabi Thunder for the rainy season by adding full fenders. They match the style of the bicycle well. I also added a pump and battery lights.

I spent some quality time with my Yuki sewing machine last weekend and made a bag to transport a foldable crate. I don’t have much practice but I’m happy with the outcome. #sewing

I'm looking into foldable e-bikes and I'm not impressed with what the market has to offer. A lot of them are rather heavy and seem more like electric mopeds (and indeed are usually class 2). #ebike #micromobility

I’m thinking about putting a larger chainring on my #LarryVsHarry #cargoBike. It has a 36T (and a smaller one; it’s a 2x). The smallest cog is 11T, giving me a max ratio of 3.3. Maybe I should try 38, 39, or 40T.

Renting a car for two weeks costs >$500. For that you can order a bicycle to anywhere in the US. At the end of the trip you can donate the bike or likely get it back home with you for a small fee. That will not be the greatest bicycle but sufficient to get around. #travelTips #bicycle #CarDependence
