I think you’ll find that £0 is moor poor!

Beware of American manufacturers making stuff that fits American restrictions, not European ones. (Or Ryanair)

A very large 0 here...

Well, quite. That is because we don't take it seriously enough. as demonstrated by the following posts about car tech. The manufacturers can provide something more flexible and controllable to them, and we put up with it. Or think it is progress. And the law is many years behind.

I'd say that getting something out of the back seat whilst driving is absolutely wilfully doing something likely to result in a crash. We don't treat car crashes as seriously as we should do. We have lovely phrases like "momentary loss of concentration" and so on, which excuse poor and dangerous...

You wouldn't want to take much more weight, given how low they fly!

Not the beach, but Fetiye itself. The carved temples are fun as is the view from them and you need to like cats... if you can, go to a market and so you don't worry, they have birds there too!

Flickr - I was spurred into action by a credit card change that meant they were emailing me about payment failure, so that's the end of Flickr Pro for me :banana: Is photography dying? Not sure. More people can take technically good photos than ever before - phones have done that. The...

Wearing a cycle helmet should be a personal choice. Based on proper, unbiased information. The debate is often fuelled by bias, such as input from helmet manufacturers, the motor industry, the fossil fuel industry. It isn't a level playing field.

really? quite apart from the Public Health question, Do you carry seatbelts with you when you leave your vehicle? No Do seatbelts increase the size and weight of your body, making it more likely that you hit it on a part of the car, and with a greater impact? No Do seatbelts make you sweaty...

I covered avoiding head injuries with alcohol-helmets. "The lycra brigade" - no bias there then... plus there are particular reasons why helmets on young children is not a bad thing. So not comparable. "Potential brain injury" so - how does that happen? How often does it happen? Helmets on...

Sorry, I didn't read the rest, just caught this bit. Seatbelts are a good idea. It is illustrative that you use them as a direct comparison with cycle helmets, when they are no such thing. Enforcing seatbelts does not damage Public Health. Enforcing helmets does. Public Health is important...

There's a stat somewhere about statistically how many miles incident free the average cyclist will travel. I see to remember it is many 100,000 miles. I've done over 50mph and it's pretty hairy!

It isn't mandatory because it is unclear that it is a good thing*, and because the effect on Public Health would be significant. * e.g. a consultant brain surgeon saying they are a good thing. A consultant brain surgeon does not see all the cyclists that have not had a head injury. Nor what...

Yes, an NVME enclosure will do it. Not all enclosures are the same though. The type of connection - USB/Thunderbolt - will determine how fast the data transfer is, and these things can get very hot, so how they deal with heat is important. Speed might not be that important, unless doing video or...
