It's an easy check - remove back wheel and test. After she got off, I rode a couple of km to a local bike shop - after so much wear, a couple of the rollers must have just jammed up and shattered. Not a huge deal at low speed.

Old news - she was taking Omega 3 capsules. Omega 3 comes from fish oil, and helps your brain develop, thus enhancing your intelligence and possibly making you more 'arty'.

The competition refuses to accept photos enhanced by arty fish-oil intelligence.

If you don't know what it is, then you should start investigating.

I had a CBR400 some years ago, and felt no vibration riding, but when I gave a lift to someone weighing 80kg one time, the rear bearings collapsed... so it's certainly something you should look at with a new purchase.

AFAIK wheel bearings are generally pretty cheap and not too difficult to replace.

Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.

SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).

Sometimes there is VICARIOUS pleasure to be had - I never noticed 'schlorp schlorp' noises.

There's a lot of truth in the adage that 'sex sells'. To imagine yourself being in the position of the person on screen is rather a guilty pleasure, enabling you to take part in 'consentual sex' with someone by simply imagining that you are the one doing the act.

Upvotes are useful for determining what people like and dislike so you can sort posts and comments.

Karma is just a bad way to have someone crucified for expressing an unpopular opinion... anyone remember COVID?

Whatever your opinion (and mine was unpopular - still is, as many Thai's STILL wear masks in the street - even if they're walking down the middle of an empty street FFS) a recent study has proven me right - the lockdown did sweet FA (maybe a 1% reduction in deaths from COVID, but an increase from 1.5% to 40% in mental disorders reported in 18-45 year old people and MASSIVE economic and educational damage.

When you need a bit more, there are a couple of ways you can do a quick search/copy/paste as new jokes/memes pop up and you get votes for the Lolz. Easy to farm a couple of hundred or more each time.

However, by talking sense in r/Thailand (i.e. from a perspective of someone who actually LIVES here) and call out stupid bullshit posts from wannabes (people who know everything about a country after a week's holiday in a whore hole) and you'll get a hundred downvotes in ten seconds.

Karma is crap.

Not really - as the weeks and months go by, people will gravitate... and individual groups can update their names/descriptions if they become aware of a similar instance.

I can't see 'settings>share' in Firefox - and 'homescreen' sounds more like you're using some kind of mobile application than desktop...

I did go through a phase where I created webapps (and I do have webapp manager installed, so I can create a 'webapp' from any bookmark and with any installed browser.

I had a Webapp for BBC Sounds, another for Plex web, but in the end this is just opening a link without the UI. If the UI is an issue, I can just fullscreen it anyway.

Quite often, if I wanted to - for example - open my Gmail, I'd make the terrible mistake of opening the bookmark in the browser instead of opening the webapp.

And you know, quite often I never even noticed I was doing it!!!

As such it was deemed a waste of Firefox resources (because it had plenty of issues).

The only webapp I have now are for individual Google services which need to be opened in Chrome (due to microphone access etc).
