Great book. Good read for those thinking it is too cold to ride.

They are lucky it wasn't 35 degrees outside. They would be dead.

Merc has Williams by the short and curlies too. Can they make sure Albon is at least 5 seconds back too?

What a waste of good farmland! I can't believe that people do not value the thing that actually sustains us.

Rolling resistance has way more of an effect than weight. But that said, I would never trade off durability for weight especially for a commuter/bike touring bike. Punctures are a drag any time but especially when you are carrying a load.

I ran into an issue when I updated Cinnamon to "victoria" release this week. Firefox was removed by the update and I had to manually install it.

Forget aging trees. Canadian forests are ablaze basically wiping out any green reductions in CO2 emmissions from industry or consumers. Besides the loss of property, wildlife and hopefully NOT people, it will take a long time for the Canadian Boreal forest to actually be an active carbon sink again.

I'm still wondering why there is even gender based play in Chess.

It's only the second biggest Methane emitter in Texas. The members of the State Legislature have it beat hands down.

It's because Toto had a tantrum that he got out strategized by Zach and had only used softs for Hamilton.

They get them from self pleasuring as they can’t get a date in spite of the big truck they have.

25 km each way. Takes me 1:15->1:25 depending on the light timing.

 

I have a Gen 3 Thinkpad E14 (Ryzen 5 5500) with updated BIOS (8GB RAM and and 240 SSD) WIn10 PRO

I looked at the specs and saw that DDR4-3200 16GB non-ECC, CLL 22 was the spec and picked up the module from a local bricks and mortar for $40 CDN. GSKILL branded.

Followed the procedure and unplugged, opened up, disconnect battery, insert RAM, check it's seated, Reconnect battery. Close up. power up. Got black screen. With power light continually on. Left it for 5 minutes thinking it's memory training. No luck. Pushed power button. Turned it off and turned it back on and came up with the splash screen.

after a few trials I found that the computer would only boot up on the 2nd time of powering up. 1st time would black screen, 2nd time would boot as per normal. Did some forum hunting and tried a different brand same spec memory (Crucial). Instantly booted up. and works like normal.

Check forums for successful and unsuccessful brands of RAM as it seems like Lenovo is whitelisting even though the paper specs are the same.
