Putting higher share of profits into workers' bank accounts strengthens aggregate demand. In other words more money for truck loans.

It's very good. I haven't seen signs of breakage yet and it's permanently loaded with 2.5kg of weight. I was considering an Arkel but it wouldn't have worked as well for my purpose. I've got a convertible Arkel pannier though!
No kidding though, you look at a our made bags and outsource made ones, and there's a difference in price but not a huge one.

Not a Thudbuster but I used to have one before replacing it with this so I can provide even more info. 🫠 It's a Kinekt. I liked the Thudbuster and wouldn't ride without it. My back pain disappeared. That said the Kinekt is better. Specifically because there's a preload adjustment. The Thudbuster is either bouncy during normal riding or stiffer than you need it due to the nature of its adjustability. You put a different elastomer, each covering a range of weights. It's fine and it works, but the Kinekt allows for precise adjustment via preload to eliminate bounciness during normal riding. I think the Suntour NCX might be even better and it's cheaper if you don't care about its weight.
I don't recall where I got them from anymore. I think I've had them for a decade now. 😂

Yes. Countries where the observable reality aligns closer with the official message. The more divergence, the higher the importance of the official message to be heard and uncontradicted, in order to maintain the shared reality within the country. The closer the message to what people see and feel around them, the less important the message is.
For example, in a country where people make ends meet with great difficulty it would take persistent message that the economy is doing well to convince them in that. People can see that it's difficult to make ends meet. If the official message stops contradicting that reality, the reality will become more apparent. In contrast in a country where people have high disposable income and the official message on the economy is that things are doing well, the two align. If the official message stops, the reality keeps being the same, people keep noticing that they're doing well. And so the official message wouldn't significantly affect the shared reality among the people of that country. Therefore it isn't as important. Reality speaks for itself if you will.
> Now, it appears that Yaccarino's management tactics were so effective that Google is weighing the benefits of forming "a broader partnership" with Twitter, possibly investing more in Twitter ads or paying to access Twitter data. Is someone testing the waters for offloading a depreciating asset to Google?

Prior to that, there is a nice correlation between activity and user growth. More users - more activity in posts and comments. That's no longer the case over the last couple of days. 🤔

Try a reputable bicycle brand mid-drive ebike at an expo or a store if you get a chance. You may not necessarily want that but it'll give close to the best experience an ebike can give.

Indeed their in-house options aren't cheap but then again, the difference in quality is significant. This direct-drive hub motor for example weighs full 2kg less than the equivalent imports. That's all down to engineering, materials used and accuracy of manufacturing. The other options like are significantly cheaper. I'm running a geared Bafang myself due to its lower weight (2.6kg vs 4.2kg). The lower weight is due to the type of motor - geared vs direct-drive. The lapses in quality are obvious. For example water resistance is not great at all. If Grin make an equivalent small and light geared hub, I'd probably buy it as it'll most likely address Bafang's deficiencies and it might be lighter too.

Sure. However not everyone can make everything so if you have to buy something and if that's got a backdoor in it, it's probably preferable to be from an allied country. It's all about risk mitigation.

If you were the Chinese military you probably wouldn't like American backdoors in your gear. The American military probably feels similarly.
![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/eaa298a7-4275-4cad-9d2d-fb2499dce627.jpeg) Feature highlights: - Thru-axle and QR compatible - Built-in torque arm - 11-speed cassettes - Integrated cadence PAS sensor - Made in Canada Sadly it didn't get a torque PAS sensor. If you're in the market for an electric conversion kit and you like the idea of direct-drive hubs, it probably doesn't get better than this.
Built it around 2012 out of a second hand MTB frame along with some new and old components. Served well for a few years. Sold to a friend who still rides it.
It was supposed to be a temporary setup but it's stayed like this for a while.
