"Before" photo of the latest bicycle restore in progress, on the test "what is broken/needs fixing" ride. I desperately went and bought brake pads right before this photo, as I had almost no braking power downhill. #BikeTooter
1. No brakes: fixed at the LBS, too dangerous to try to ride back WITHOUT BRAKES.
2. Handlebar tape falling off. Replacing that today with the bargain bin tape.
3. No handlebar ends. Ordered online, LBS prices too rich for my blood.
4. BAD TIRES. VERY BAD TIRES. Cracking and barely pliable. Good thing I did not go very fast, LOL. Last time I ever ride on those tires. Replacing with the bargain basement priced Bontrager R3 Hard Case tires ($10 each! Or more like $20 each because I bought the wrong tubes and too embarrassed to go back and get the right ones LOL).
Random bicycling story: I paused at a pass through in our neighborhood on the way to the LBS, and an ENTIRE peloton of road bikers came through at that pass through. First time that has happened!
Actually a surprisingly friendly group, and a bunch said "nice bike" as they passed (obviously not seeing the sorry shape of the tires and handlebar tape, LOL). Wonder which club/team that was 🤔
could be, I don't remember if there was any attribution in the signature- that person died over 20 years ago - [and unfortunately not peacefully in his sleep]

Is @EUCommission going to make it clear to #Meta and #zuckerberg that this would be a total breach of European privacy laws as nobody would escape the recognition if any idiot in the EU decides to wear this. Clearly people will capture as many people as they can. This evil must be nipped in the bud not after the product is readily available in the EU market.

@Migueldeicaza Hey! Sorry to bug you, but I was curious if you've seen something like this with SwiftGodot on existing projects: After migrating to 0.60.1 and Godot 4.4.0, any time I call super on a Godot object (e.g., `super._ready` or `super._physicsProcess(delta:), I am getting a crash that I don't understand. I attached an example of the stacktrace.
Is this a result of me doing something? I haven't tried with a fresh project, yet, but have been messing with it for an afternoon to no luck.
