How do you downhill?


I love how the brake lever positioning there makes it look like they're grabbing their crotch the whole way down.

makes me a feel a little bit better that they deigned to show a fall (~1:46mins in).

some of those slopes I would have problems just hiking down (the scree, the pain)!


Probably the same answer as "how do you brake", you use the pedals to slow down.

Normally your top speed is not really very fast as the pedals are fixed to the wheel, so you get one rotation per pedal (extremely low gear) and slowing down is not often necessary.

You can overtake bicycles easily going uphill, but downhill is hard on your knees!


I find that going downhill also uses different muscles than riding a bike or walking. I got really sore when I first started riding!

Has anyone tried a handheld brake? A handheld squeezer connected to a flexible hydraulic tube connected to a disc or caliper brake?

Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.

Really weird comments. Would you feel the same about your rented Steam games no longer receiving updates?

Is Linux clean?

Adobe did the same. I admire the repo name for SEO trolling.

The machine easily cost a million to develop and it's easy to throw money at a problem for the unemployed tinkerers out there.

Can it run stock macOS programs like Photos? I want a non-chaotic way to import my old fart's iPhone galleries without a Mac Mini (HEIC and Lives are annoying), and docker-osx/vm's don't work for everyone.

They say source-compatible, not binary-compatible.

GNUstep failed to get traction, I doubt they can do much better.


It's a totally different path but you could try Immich to do that.

Realtors list these as lease takeovers, franchises like Anytime Fitness have their own buy and sell portals.


Hi opengrass! thank you for the comment.

That is true but these are two really distinct parts of the ecosystem.

A realtor is fantastic for the 'where' the lease and the physical space. We're all about the 'what' the actual operating business with its brand and cash flow. It's the difference between taking over a location and buying an income stream.

And yes, big franchises are their own walled gardens but our world / approach is the millions of independent businesses, the local coffee shop, the family-owned auto repair that make up the vast majority of the market.

That's the massive slice that's been left behind by modern tech.
