Your best bet is to copy the link out of your email and paste it into your web browser of choice. That way you have the web page open outside of your Gmail. It is asinine but not specific to Gmail. Other email apps do it as well. I'm sorry for your frustrations. I hope you're able to successful unclutter your inbox.

Once you get into bikes you realize that it becomes a sort of Ship of Theseus. So many things have become standardized you can (and will) upgrade over time and it won't be the same bike you started with.

Rather than recommend a specific brand, go and talk to your closest bike shop (a real shop, not a chain, department store, or sporting goods store). They will tell you what is easy to source, what has recently given them headaches, and they may even help adjust the bike for your proportions. Most are also happy just to talk about bikes even if you're not buying that day.

Side comment: Fixies, or fixed gear bikes, are less complicated and thus have fewer points if failure. Not advocating for or against... just and objective statement.

Exactly. I want to be able to mention the fashion lizard, the bisexual twink doctor, and his husband the suffering Irishman... And for people to understand who I'm talking about.

The real Magic Mouse is the Logitech Powerplay. You'll never convince me otherwise.

Vouchers were not designed to help low-income students. They were designed to allow middle to upper class families too take state dollars and send their children the right schools. What are the right schools you ask? The ones without the low-income students, of course. (Source: I work in Education in Indiana)

I've been really into projected Halloween decorations the last couple of years. I hang a sheer curtains in the street facing windows. I project videos of ghostly apparitions on them. Atmosfx has some good collections that would complement a Lovecraftian creepy old house. They sell for $40-$50 per collection and are 100% worth it.

If you happen to have a projector, a sheer curtain, and know how to find video files from less than reputable sources... You can don't have to spend any money at all.

They're the same picture.

 

Received my first message from an airplane. Looking at it, there was a United Fight on it's way from Chicago to Cincinnati passing overhead when I got this.

Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.

That or there is one long lived alien out there banging his way through the quadrants... Either way, we know what he looks like.

 

I know people who only poop at home. I can't imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology... Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.
