Am I right to be annoyed that I have two broken spokes after having a reputable shop fix 1 broken spoke a few days ago?

I'm out doing a tour, tomorrow is the last big day - 45ish miles. The rear end felt a little squidgey coming out of the woods this evening. I figured I was low on air but No! Two new broke spokes (rear wheel, drive side, broke off in the J bend, holes are right next to each other).

I got to practice using a fiber fix - and truth be told we aren't really doing anything rough, so I imagine things will be fine. But... Dang, I wish the shop would have told me the tension was off and I was going to break more - I would have brought another fiber fix!

Btw: fiber fix is a neat little hack. But a PITA to install on the drive side. What finally worked for me was: make a 'clean' end by cutting the end I messed up trying the first time. Then, reenforcing the end with super glue and some tape (so the end would hold together while forcing it through the hub hole). A bright light and a tiny Leatherman squirt were required.

Some friends and me out rolling around Vancouver island. Here we are headed out of Victoria to Duncan. Really nice, relaxed riding most of the way.

I'm out rolling around Victoria with some friends, one is a wine buyer. He got the good local stuff for the gang to try. I really wanted some, just a bit... Decided to pass.

Gotta be a pretty early bird to get close at zoo tunes. Nice to see some music outside!

What's the best of breed Window/Tab manager for Chrome (Mac)?

I often find my windows too cluttered - duplicate tabs, too hard to find the thing I am really looking for. This has to be a solved problem - what am I missing?

So far TabBrew looks like a promising option, but there seem to be about a dozen extensions, and maybe other ways of doing this?

Hoping to tap the Lem-mind..

I am trying to login at reddthat.com/login using both my email address and username - no dice, just a green spinny icon endlessly.

I've tried on my phone (duck browser) and on desktop chrome. Tried incognito mode - no change. Infact, I dont get any response even with known bad credentials.

In Devtools - I don't even see a call being made to the server.

I think Incognito rules out any plugins - any idea what might be up?
