May also be an imperfectly aligned brake pad rubbing the tire.

I think a more apt title is '10 totally impractical bikes that mostly don't exist beyond renders!'.

Yanko is click bait titled listicles. Don't support low effort trash.

As a middle-aged, cis, hetero, mostly neuro-typical guy living in Calgary - I see you, I value you, and I care about you. I can't pretend to understand what your life is like - but you deserve every bit as much happiness and support as anyone else.

Totally agree.

Moderating models for safety is a problematic idea. Prusa then bears liability in the event that a model fails. 3D printing works only because it's the person who physically makes the print who has the ultimate responsibility to determine if it is safe and fit for purpose.

If you don't like the competitions, don't take part. Personally I view them as a nice way to encourage the community to share ideas.

I think this case snuck under a lot of people's radar. Police officers used their powers to stalk an elected official because they didn't like her position on a topic. The subsequent oversight investigation recommended charges and the Crown elected not to proceed.

How are these officers still employed? They repeatedly breached the trust and responsibility endowed upon them by the public.

When asked how many customers would be affected, the company said that while precise numbers are not yet available, up to four customers may be impacted. "I would like offer our sincere apologies to Aunt Sue, Uncle Frank, Mike, and Jodi."

I've got a soft spot for Kona - I've owned at least 5 that I can think of including my very first mountain bike which got me addicted to the sport. That bike now hangs on the wall of my office.

I hope the brand gets back on track and building fun, high value, unpretentious, tough as nails bikes.

tl;dr - Black man driving his dad's BMW is detained for being suspicious because he doesn't look like the sort of person who drives that car. He is subject to a rough arrest as his mother watches. Gatineau police insist there was no racial profiling.

How the hell is this still happening? I'm particularly frustrated that the Crown Prosecutor appears to be covering up rather than going after the police for flagrantly illegal practices.

I would love, LOVE, to hear some of these people explain their thinking...

As a Jewish person, this sort of behaviour makes me sick. It was a populated land filled with people living their lives.

This reads like a train wreck start to finish.

Just printed this plant pot and the quality is absolutely trash. It's a large print (150mmx150mmx150mm) but printed using my normal settings. It's solid wall - 4-5 perimeters thick. Sliced in Prusaslicer 2.6.1 and printed on an Ankermake M5. Any ideas?

Thanks!

So I commute year round in Calgary and that means cold and dark. I can't seem to find a tail light that isn't disposable garbage and will actually hold up to a few years of use.

Yes you can basically buy tail lights in bulk off Amazon - but I hate tossing dead junk in the trash. I would rather pay more for a light that lasts.

My perfect light would use replaceable 18650 (or whatever size) lithium ion cells, or at least have USB-C with pass-through charging (so that I can run it off an external battery in a pinch).

For front lights I use Outbound Lighting and they are perfect - long battery life, great performance, pass-through charging, works in the cold. Unfortunately Outbound doesn't make tail lights. I've begged.

So anyone have a tail light that they LOVE?
