I can speak to motorcycle tires.

Moto tires are rounded, not flat like car tires. They’re designed to provide an optimal contact patch no matter the lean angle. Often, Moto tires won’t be perfectly rounded, but come to a bit of a point in the middle. This makes for a smaller contact patch going straight, for better fuel economy, and a bigger one while turning for more traction. Finally, moto tires are often made of multiple kinds of rubber: harder in the center for lower rolling resistance, and longer tread life; softer on the sides for more traction while turning.

I’d bet that small bicycle tires share some of these characteristics, being rounded for sure, possibly others.

No! Companies would never do something like that!

That’s fair, but it sounds like the dev reacted very badly. Could have all been avoided if they just said “Yeah, you’re right. But I’m working with what I can, and I’d love to add Chinese. I want to do it right, and I’d love your suggestions.”

Dummy you dumb

You know, I’ve been doing emdash and “not A but B” for a long ass time. The fucking bot got it from me, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to give it up without a fight.

Gamers, gemers, gimers, gomers, gumers, and sometimes gymers.

Gwmers if you’re Welsh.

They’re may be something you don’t know. Manager may have discovered that food is getting prepared so that it will come back to the kitchen and go in the bin, so that everyone can eat it. That’s definitely stealing.

And manager knows it’s not you, but still has to tell you anyway.

He was my therapist.

What if I told the man I murdered in '03 that I blasphemed my wife to my lawyer, and that’s why I murdered him, to keep him from telling my priest?

31 comments in 16 months, you ain’t kidding.

We have no idea how many lurkers, with registered accounts or not.

I knew you knew that, my comment was more for the passers-by who may not even be old enough to remember that it was a Colbert quote.

Colbert used the term in a more traditional sense, as opposed to how it’s sometimes used now as an insult by harder leftists.

Reality has a liberal bias.

Class action for unilaterally modifying the agreement about feature access after the fact and to the detriment of the consumer.

I mean, strictly speaking yes, but that’s like saying your quartz watch is a computer.

A lot of people die.

“They’re worth a bit now” partly because they were used in coin-op arcade games, and people who refurb those will buy them as spares.
