The literal big (other) Lebowski in the wheelchair. Also remembered but didn’t need to rewatch their final scene. Fuck that shit.
Of course it’s all okay, because, bad capitalist person. Should have a hunchback, actually. 🥴
There are continuous self-referencing phrases in the dialogue that are witty and funny if you like that sort of thing. From that angle, it’s very rewatchable.

The Big Lebowski has been my favourite movie for a long time. It’s been a while and I tried to watch it tonight, and the disgusting Nazi-style disability shit takes really made me sick to the stomach. Sometimes it takes a while.
The #CoenBrothers really were way ahead of their time there.

I like it to be clear who was the actor, and to have a positive framing. There can be a world of difference between “we empower your choices” and “we have to comply with this law that we hate”. I guess it depends a lot on the context. 🙃
“Customizations” is the shortest that implies the actor in my reading. “My/your/user *” would make it more explicit.
As an example, “Changes” can also be something that happened due to business or system changes in your absence.

Climbing is fun 😊

There are decades of mansplainy research about that. 😄
A huge advantage on steep inclines with sufficiently sized platform pedals is that you can move your foot back and transfer more power with your body weight. I want years of my life back.
I’m not sure whether you are talking about clipless (clicking in) or clips (sliding in a cage, or strap). The terminology is counter-intuitive there.

That also depends a lot on your tyres and frame. I came back with the bike from shopping in the rain last month. Trousers had a handful tiny lil splashes. Frame was covered with dirt, but easy to splash off with a bidon in a minute.

The “pulling up” with clipless pedals myth reproduction in the video made me chuckle, haven’t heard that one in a while. 🙈
I only ever used clips with fixed gear bikes, flying off the pedals at 90+ rpm is, eh, an acquired taste.

Couldn’t be happier with my city bike. Eight years going, first belt. Replaced front brake pads once. And tyres, but that wasn’t due to wear and tear.
Only real maintenance was putting the flip flop hub around and the stock rear brake back on, because, German law is bloody ludicrous.

My absolute favourite all time cursed tech crossover is front matter. Combining the powers of YAML and markdown is such a natural, brilliant idea. 🤪

Don’t tell on me, but Germans are completely deranged. 🤐

I think it auto-detects. Those scrollbars used to be a constant source of fun.
Permanently displaying them is one of the first configurations after enabling keyboard access on a new Mac for me. That way, I discover loads of bad behaving overflow areas that devs (on Macs with default settings) left behind in in web pages. 😂

That problem description is a tad sparse. 🙃
Are scrollbars automatically hidden (default) and do you per chance have a mouse with a wheel connected to the monitor?

Not kidding when I say that you can take that to good use when you have a variety of metrics that could mark the *end* of a productive episode and they never quite align.

Today is my first day of freedom. The best I can say about the past 16 months is that I survived in the most basic and existential meaning of the word. It really didn't look like that for a long time.
For the first time in my life I have experienced utter complete corruption and a fundamental bottomless lack of any ethics at a place of work. And I do have seen seriously fucked up ones before.
This would be a good time to emphasize the importance of the work Liz Jackson is doing.

This is actually helpful: if you take turns with potatoes, you can make a German salad at the end of the day. 🤪

I’ve seen the mentioned message with email option as well, and wondered how you signed up. And then forgot about it.
