When I ~~get financially independent~~ win big I'm going buy me a big bog, do wetlands restoration and become a bog ogre.

Wet lubes are notorious for attracting grime. Lube up, let rest overnight, wipe off excess day after and that grime still builds up quickly. And since the grime is stuck in the lube just washing it off isn't enough. Requires a good cleaning and then new lube.
Wax is a great option but all wax solutions I've encountered requires a very clean drivetrail. No oils, lubes, grease etc or the wax won't stick. More prep work but so worth it in the end.
I would love to go belt drive and there are high end internal hubs that offers similar range to 12spd mtb gears. Tech is there, tech is working but cost is still too high for me. More likely I'll go belt drive when (if) I get me a touring/bike packing bike.
That said this mechanical solution looks too engineered to get wide adaptation. 2-3spd gear hubs are tried and tested. That said again this combined with a moderatley priced 6-8spd hub could be cool. Cool in a frankenbike kind of way.
Still. Cool tech demo/proof of concept.
Sports and politics go hand-in-hand.
Firm supporter of local stores and businesses. It also does help that I have a few good places in walking distance and a healthy city centre. So if I want and weather permitting I can sit on their patio and wave to acquaintances.
And now I'm back to looking at steel (and titanium) adventure hardtails...
Looks awesome. Were confused why you added lemon but after further reading, and rereading, I understood. My tip for keeping a rye starter alive is to keep in in the fridge. Take it out a day before use, feed it 12h before use, use it and put in pack in the fridge after a final feeding. I've "forgotten" starters for well over a month in there with no harm to them. As a bonus there is much less discard.
That said I bake something similar as my staple, apart from the dairy. Sometimes I use whey leftovers from cheesemaking but most of the time just plain water. I get dough, with whatever additives (nuts, seeds, whole grain), into a desired consistency. Let it rest and then bake.
The idea and methodology behind these northern breads almost makes them foolproof.
How dare you calling me out like that?
3 - last day before vacation. Mentally clocked out, nos just need the clock to pass.
I enjoy it and the extra scrolling doesn't bother me. Well it bothers me much less that the information it provides.
Law and order is pretty much textbook authoritarian. No left/right bias in that. But he is very much not for redistrbution of wealth nor any empowerment of the workers.
Tarkin is auth-right. Almost textbook. Would move Vader to more center-right as he often ignores or works against (some) chain of command.
On the fatigue part. (Jokingly) It will not get better, you just get faster. With that out of my system, it will get easier and soon you will find yourself more energetic. Because extra training.
When it comes to safety you are going at it the right way. You look for back roads, slower roads, residental roads etc when there aren't cycling infrastructure. But uf it is unsafe I would think twice/thrice if it is worth the risk. Luckily it sounds motorists are already used to safely overtaking slower two-wheeled vehicles.
Depending on your cycling community you can have great use of cycling/outdoor apps with heatmaps. Then you can see where others are travelling. Strava, Ride with GPS and Komoot are useful for me locally. Especially strava with the large community.
I'd welcome them. And together we will fuck shit up. Because if the fey know one thing it is to fuck shit up.
