I guess that would work as long as you move to a place far away from humanity. It definitely won't work if a neighbour runs a WiFi hotspot without password protection.

What would happen if you configured manual network and gave it a fake DNS or sent it over to PiHole for example? Wouldnt there be plenty of ways to capture the traffic and stop it from going where it wants to go? I would think the tech savvy folks on this site would be able to figure something out if it is a big enough concern of theirs.

I have not come across a working password free residential wifi hotspot in almost a decade - because routers have had passwords by default.

I live in an apartment building downtown adjacent to other buildings. They are all around me.

My observation is the open wifi's are much more prevalent in dense living situations like apartments, condos, townhomes, and shared work spaces.

This is definitely not an AT-4, it’s an NLAW guided missile. AT-4s are much simpler & unguided — but still very effective weapons.

The NLAW was itself co-developed by Sweden and the UK, and is known in Sweden as the RB-57 [1]. They are manufactured by Thales Air Defence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, using parts supplied by a variety of sub-contractors which include Saab of Sweden.

Thanks. I'm glad someone knows these things better than I do. I'm also happy (and sad) that someone else will have to do the dirty job of firing these beasts.

Thanks!

...perhaps I should add that by "Swedish" I also meant SAAB weapons.

My biggest question is the combination of an extremely short wheelbase, small wheel diameter and, perhaps more importantly, the negative fork offset and the steep head tube angle. It seems it would be extremely easy to get thrown over the handlebars when hitting an obstacle... What's your reasoning behind this geo? Is it only space saving?

First of all: The fork offset is needed to obtain the same trail as with a normal bike. Large wheels need to bend the fork forward in order to reduce the natural trail for easier steering. Small wheels need to bend the fork backwards in order to get the same effect, because the natural trail of small wheels is to small. Just look on a shopping cart. The fork of the steering wheels is bent backwards too.

On Kwiggle you ride upright with a small wheelbase. So you have to adjust a little bit and you should pay a little bit more attention to the road. We have so many customers who have mastered that with bravour, so we stopped worrying about it.

Only with this small wheelbase it is possible to get a bicycle folded to handluggage size.

Thanks for taking the time!

Quite simple. You just facilitated Twitter's data collection. Without you it would not have happened.

Even worse, the user loading your page could probably not have known you embedded a Tweet (and sent their data to Twitter) before actually loading the page (if you didn't implement a consent dialog with a reject option).

How could that possibly be a nightmare? Download the fonts and host them yourself.

What if they could go for the companies building these standardized GDPR cookie consent dialogs instead...

Which, sometimes, also illegal. Trustarc for example.

Thank you, just what I was thinking!

> If anything, you should list that by inseam.

What you want to measure is the PBH (pubic bone height). It is very precise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yxZkHpAB4g

Yes, that's how any pro or aspiring bike store will size your bike.

Oh shit, that's a grim reality. :(

Weather in SF seems nice, but when it comes to bike commuting I'm happy to be in Scandinavia.

> The outcome of that is you'll chew through your front pads and rims much more quickly than your rear.

Most contemporary bikes have disc brakes (breaking won't chew on your rim) and wearing through the front pads faster than the rear pads can't really be considered to be a problem, can it?

I think 75-85% of the bikes I see around here (UK) still have rim brakes not discs. They're cheaper.
