Say hello to Ferrari!

I have the Shimano system with the battery in the seat tube, so once every few months. I have a friend with the fully wireless SRAM system, and it’s every few weeks for her.

Just initial setup. You can decide on which gears it will switch front chainrings, but I just left it on default. During setup, you can also set trim positions for the front derailleur for each gear, and it will remember those positions and automatically trim so the chain doesn’t rub, which is another nice feature.

One of the nice things about switching to electronic shifting is that I only use 1 button now, since the system automatically moves between the two chainrings as I move up and down the rear gears. It’s also nice that I can just hold it to rapidly move through the gears for times when I come up on a very steep section.

Regexr.com is my go-to.

Nice!

Most played is Satisfactory, most surprising is the Marathon trilogy because I was surprised it was available at all, playable on the deck, fully supported, and free.

My top Deck games match my overall Steam list because my Deck is my only gaming PC.

Hey, I’ve been there! DSRV at Morro Bay. Part of the Maritime Museum there.

EQ level on that boyfriend is off the charts.

SteamOS.

Shit, I better get cracking.

Crowdstrike has Mac and Linux agents.

I’m not sure, because cars were more widely seen as a status symbol in the US (because they were marketed that way). I would bet that a much smaller percentage of people in the US see their phones as a status symbol. Other countries may be different. Remember all the premium phone brands like Vertu? Or the gold Apple Watch?

Not Tesla specifically, but anytime I look at the included navigation of a “legacy” manufacturer I am immediately reminded of the difference. Thank god my Chevy has CarPlay (that I didn’t have to pay extra for).

The original idea, as I understand it, was that it would be made of the same stainless alloy that SpaceX was developing for Starship. This steel was too hard to form using stamping, as the tools used would wear down much faster. So, they had to limit themselves to bending the sheet metal with a press brake, which really can’t do compound curves, hence the need for straight lines. Whether any of this was ever the real reason I have no idea, but one tidbit is that for Starship, they were using 304L (same mixture as some of my pans) and may never have switched to their own alloy. So, the design may at one point have been necessary for practical considerations, but that may have been mooted without bothering to change the design.
