  1. But it's not measurable and not needed, like DM and DE are, to complete the picture.From a purely empirical point of view, it is just wishful thinking that was originally inspired, and still maintained by many, due to the fear of dying and it's permanence. It's a mental comfort with no basis in science.
  2. I have worn mitts and it helps a bit; cheap ones though from Halfords. Any recommendations on specific ones for this purpose? I think this too but bear in mind it's got suspension forks. Don't know whether to swap them out for some normal ones. The stem is pivoted and I only recently raised it to reduce the forward leaning pressure. It's knowing where to start with the fitting of the bike is the first step, I suppose. Yeah, the grips don't seem to help that much and they cost me 60 quid. Round ones, well chosen, with the right mitts might be worth exploring. Function will butt in then, hopefully. Thanks for the link.
  3. It's a shame ones ears doesn't keep the volume high when listening to music loud

      Get a free-version software audio equaliser, if needed, as well for your phone/laptop/PC to balance the sound to your taste and they are a great cheap combo and very well made... I need a strong treble bias to compensate for my deafness in that region.

      I find myself in the "What are you listening to now" thread here more than youtube directly... good mix of sounds to choose from posted by members. :) Go Tina, you're "The best"!

  4. Keep telling myself I need to take a break from here but do the opposite

  5. Life is not a rehearsal; it is the performance.
  6. If you studied physics a bit you would see that there is no mechanism that could plausibly account for it. Even in biology, as I'm sure you know, all psychological/physiological phenomena are emergent processes. What you are asking for is an extant non-physical phenomenon that co-exists in parallel but autonomously to the physical processes.
  7. If that's what it takes to survive and humans are not collectively responsible enough to do something about it before such a situation might occur we only have ourselves to blame.
  8. I've read that the ulnar nerve running through the wrist is a culprit which might be helped if I use swept bars, I've raised the front to reduce the balance towards the front; it has helped. I don't want to mess with the seat height because then that will give me problems with my legs. It's swings'n'roundabouts. I'll check out about cervical nerves; cheers.
  9. Only on the laminate might it possibly be problem and even then I doubt it unless you soaked the laminate where it took ages to dry. Don't worry about it... kill the buggers!
  10. After about 5 or 6 miles parts of my hands start to go numb, the areas affected depending on how I'm gripping the bars. I have reduced my grip and also move my hands in various positions periodically which helps. Some pictures follow which might inspire suggestions and should give an idea of my current setup. I'm open to any ideas for modification of my technique, bike/handle geometry or other equipment. Would swept back riser bars help? It's an 18" frame and I have a 31" inside leg. The crossbar just touches my crotch when standing astride it. A 16" will be my next acquisition for better clearance there
  11. Right. I see your point. "Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie"
  12. Doh! You are right of course. For some reason, I saw and used 9.24 in the wiki without realising that wasn't the pH. Besides, the fact it is an acid and shouldn't have a pH that high!
  13. After some reading: It is a weak alklali and can have a slight bleaching effect if wet. It is best used dry, as this following artilcle link explains, for eradicating them. Part of it's effectiveness lies in its mechanical properties, as a crystal on the cockroaches exoskeleton and also it ingests the poison when the insects preen themselves removing the boric acid dust crystals from their bodies.Given this fact, I would prepare and apply the powder exactly as recommended in the article, or as as closely as you can, to maximise its effectiveness. I wouldn't worry about using it dry on those surfaces; maybe, don't apply it to those surfaces in sunny areas of your kitchen; the solar rays may have an unforeseen effect. https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef614
  14. I think part of Externet's question is: why do they need to be in such close proximity? I wonder that too.
  15. Go and see your doctor.
  16. Like iNow alludes, this is all common knowledge that a quick Google would very probably produce millions of hits. I have given up sugar for the reasons you cite; I can't handle the way it messes up my emotions as a result of the sugar spikes.
  17. Given that the things are so disparate I would conclude that it's a paranoid episode. If it was all on the internet, even across different devices, I would think manipulation for advertising purposes. It is rather unnerving to buy something off Amazon.say, then see adverts advertising the very things you've bought on a banner in SFN! I know how to stop it but I can't be bothered anymore..
