Too bad about the giant chain rings.

So there was this scientist on teh CBC the other day making a very compelling argument that we ditch DLST for ST permanently because ST is based on the sun to which we evolved.

> "As a biologist, I think about this in terms of the biological clock," explained Patricia Lakin-Thomas, York University professor and Canadian Society for Chronobiology board member.

> "We have this clock in our brain that is set by light and it controls our daily activities, our daily physiology, our sleep-wake cycle. And then there are clocks all over the body … they get set by the brain clock," she said.

> Lakin-Thomas compared switching to permanent daylight time as being in a perpetual state of jet lag, as the body's biological clocks, or circadian rhythms, would constantly be out of sync.

> "Under standard time, the time is going to be closer to our natural tendency to rise with the sun and to be in sync with the sun. Standard time is closer to that body time," she said.

Dude prolly got it d/t on the front of a transit bus. So many times I felt like an accessory to a crime but....what'ya gonna' do?

Pretty ballsy, or just plain dumb walking into the Empress like that. Coulda' gone catastrophically sideways. A lot of those people have got absolutely nothing to lose. I've seen savage assaults down there for way less than a few hun in stolen bike parts.

Hang the rich.

Tallest? Nah...remember the "Spike"?

Variety is the spice 'o life. Hang up the bike and go skiing!

670gms, is that light?

How's about something  w/a 35id for my DHF 2.6?

And 2019 colours on the website?????????

Oh yeah 'cause stock they supposed to be even length.

Can a generic boostinator kit be fit to these hubs?

Canada’s refusal to waive intellectual property rights on COVID-19 vaccines should be a crime against humanity

The U.S. surprised the world last week by throwing its weight behind waiving intellectual property rights for COVID-19 vaccines. Under pressure to respond similarly, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said: “I can assure you Canada is not interfering or blocking. Canada is very much working to find a solution.”

This is typical nonconfrontational Canadian prevarication. “Not blocking” in this case still functions as a block.

By some counts, Canada has ordered enough vaccines to inoculate our population four times over. Meanwhile, where the virus feasts on humans, it continues to mutate dangerously making life unsafe for all — and exposing our myopic decision-making in the bargain.

So when Trudeau says he wants Canada to play mediator, to bring about a balance between protecting companies and improving vaccine access to poorer countries, he’s talking about a balance between profit and life. “Our” profit, “their” lives.

As intellectual property rights expert Achal Prabhala outlines on The Dig podcast, the U.S. and other rich nations gave companies such as Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca billions of dollars — billions — in no-strings-attached grants to do the research, meaning no risk to the companies if they failed. Then they paid the companies billions of dollars — billions — in preorders so the companies were guaranteed buyers even before coming into the market. Now, they enjoy a global monopoly — largely funded by taxpayer labor.
