The decisions you make are one thing. The way you keep handling them so incredibly poorly is quite another.

Beautiful flowers, but horribly invasive in the right climate!

Cover/remove any brand name labels. Duct tape and spray paint are ugly. Use them.

Lock it to something solid. Use multiple, high quality locks if you can. Lock it where there is video surveillance if possible. Never leave it long. Never ever leave it outside overnight.

Greetings from Berlin, where more than 25,000 bikes are stolen each year. That's 70 per day, or 3 per hour.

Despite following my own advise above as best I could, I have lost 3 bikes in the last 20 years. I still ride a bike everywhere though, 100% of the time, averaging over 5000 km a year.

Get out there and explore your city!

Edited to add, a good lock is going to cost a lot more than a standard one, and will easily weigh over 5kg.

I have made voice calls with this in VirtualBox from a Linux host. Lacking support for VBoxGuestAdditions, it is not a great general solution, as you cannot easily bridge the gap between host/guest, however.

I have not tested QEMU.

A great read. My favorite quote:

A much better version of the gangstalking delusion, set to music:

Another rant that strikes a chord. Yer uncle Jim certainly has something to tell you.

 

Kate has something to say, and I like a good rant as much as the next lemming.
