What everybody has said here. I've got cans that have gas from years ago between the boat, weedeater, lawn mower motor cycle etc. I keep a little shy of 20 gallons on hand and cycle through it first in first out. That run just fine in anything I put it in. The 2 cycle mixed gas is the worst offender as I use so little of it it might take me years to make it through a gallon.

That said three weeks is nothing. The gas I put in the chainsaw two weeks ago had been in the can since the last administration, and it cranked up and ran without fail for hours, the only time it quit was when it ran out.

Fart into my cupped hand while making (and not breaking eye contact) and proceed to "throw" it in the interviewers general direction. (Extra points if you can do this with a straight face)

They're not lieing... this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.

There's a couple thing to keep in mind that might help it make sense. Meta-analyses, though not without merit, don't always accomplish the intended goals for a few reasons, two of which this study specifically suffers from. The first is that they combine studies that when they were conducted may have looked at the desired treatments and controls, but they often are doing so in different populations (note they stratify results by elderly, cancer patients etc.) I'm not going to on my phone start pulling the references, but I would venture to guess that the included studies have all sorts of specific groups they were targeting which leads to heterogeniety both in effect size but in interpretation of effect size. Think about it this way, if you are using Dat from many studies with different (often very specific) target populations, does it really make sense to combine them to draw conclusions about a some hypothetical population comprised of those people?

The second thing is sample size. A few thousand seems like a lot until you realize the data in question is incidence. Each subject included either had the disease or they didn't (it's 0 or 1) nothing in-between and nothing outside. Interval inference for dichotomous data (especially when it gets substratified down like the authors have done here) often lead to results like the plain language summary presented. That is, everything is null because they tried to say too much, with too little data.

Takeaway is don't read too much into the findings. The authors were certainly trying to earnestly answer the question (probably), but the existing literature and available data came up short.

I commute and work for a university about five miles away. I was doing really well even in the cold up until we went on winter break when I stopped going into the office regularly. Coming back from the break I literally caught the rona my second day back in the office so we'll see how quickly I get back to it. Long story short I try to suck it up. If it's above freezing I ride every weekday that it doesn't rain. Raining in the morning or cold af? I have a spinning bike (older model that was on clearance, I gave like $300 for it) down stairs in front of the basement TV. When I was younger I lived in the Midwest where it will stay cold from about Nov/Dec until about March. Then I would ride everywhere i was going except the grocery store. Unless there was ice on the road, which after a certain point there always was until the big thaw would come. As I get older the discomfort of the cold makes it a much easier decision to stay inside and spin on bad days. I'm far more likely to get out on days that are pleasant if I haven't just spent four days riding in when it's im the twenties. Getting too cold one good time is far more likely to make me stop biking for a period of time than a really long or strenuous ride will. Nevermind the fact that below freezing and it's nearly impossible to see where you're going eyes watering, glasses fogging, just all bad.

Seconding this one. Looking at the furthest from camera case, my money it that there is play in the cylinder along the axis of the cylinder pin. That case being swollen, just above the rim means one thing, that the case has enough room to move back out of the cylinder while firing to allow that to happen. Overpressure i.e. hot loads may be contributing to an issue you wouldn't observe with lighter loads. Have you played around using different ammo?

I'll seconding the comment on pellet choice. The single most effective thing I've found with pellet guns (and centerfire rifles for that matter) you can do to calm one down if its misbehaving is to change what you feed it.in .177 I've have good success with all my springers and pcps with rws hobby s. Theyre light, but will work for rats and squirrels depending on the rifle. (https://sh.itjust.works/...)

No it's a real link. It looks like you may have, somehow, gotten blocked from Craigslist. Its a comical recollection of a dude not having the best time at a hot yoga session. If you search for something along the lines of "Craigslist yoga mat story" im sure you'll find some version of it.

Honestly it looks like he squirted heat sink goo all over the place (you're supposed to put it between the cpu and heat sink to let the heat transfer more efficiently). Why he liberally applied it to his hand like jergens and sent you a pick i couldn't say. But I would wipe the machine down real well when you get it back 🤣

Silly question, but why patch a tube? Tires i get, if you shell out $60+ for a tire, replace the tube and patch the tire to keep the crud out. But tubes are comparably cheap and since they are the only thing that needs to hold a seal why not spend a few more dollars than you spent in the patch kit for a new tube?

No worries, I have to review a few meta -analysis a month. They are not all created equal. But some are trying to help.

Another thing to think about, inline with the last few comments, is that if you have 45 days worth of muscle memory you might just be doing too much too soon. 20 miles where I live in the southern US, this time of year can be taxing with the heat even if you are a career commuter. That said until your body gets used to restoring itself in between rides you're going to drag. And when you get worn down your body wants to just diesel in a lower gear.

Its just my two cents, but I'd recommend shorter distances, pushing a little harder over those shorter distances but in intervals. In time I bet you'll find that you are getting there quicker with seemingly less effort.

If the idea is to ride i.e. make it easier on yourself . This i learned from an "old head" at the office. Who convinced me to purchase said spinning bike. Be safe, have fun, be well, outside of that what do you need?
