Here's visual aid on the difference between high-end derailleurs and low-end ones. One can get pretty decent shifting out of the cheap one but not the 99.9% reliable shifting that stays reliable for years without adjustment that you get from a better made drivetrain.

With that said, some parts have more effect than others. With any level of Shimano, running decent quality (Shimano, Jagwire) uninterrupted housing from the shifter to the derailleur eliminates problems on the frame. That along with an aligned derailleur hanger would produce pretty good shifting.

To Gaben's credit he collects a lot less of the surplus these workers create than most other billionaires. But yes.

Stock, with Google.

Slightly smaller than a Pixel 8 Pro:

If possible, you should get a doctor to treat it. Untreated it could get worse. I improved after a few months of PPIs and avoided surgery. I'd do surgery if PPIs didn't help. Nissen fundoplication has a very high success rate and it's durable.

I don't eat breakfast. Been doing intermittent fasting for as long as I can remember. Surviving on 2 meals a day, one at lunch and a smaller one at early dinner.

Preliminary battery life results. Using the stock OS. No issues with apps so far, apart from Lawnchair's back animation being a bit more broken with some apps than on my Pixel.

Preliminary battery testing results:

During this first discharge session, I've installed apps, transferred data, posted all my comments here, etc. All on WiFi.

Replaced all-black Gravel Kings with tan-sidewalled Paselas. Got tired of flats in the rear.

Click here if you don't get it.I told it to power off. It rebooted to do updates. Once these updates were done, it powered off. Kinda like Windows. 😂

I needed another corded mouse and this time around I thought of @PKL@mastodon.social and @pronk@mastodon.social instead of Logitech's shareholders. These guys make open source mice among other open source hardware under the brand Ploopy. You can order one from them, assembled or as a kit, or you could print and build it entirely by yourself.

The mouse itself is pretty great. Coming from a long line of Logitech (MX518/G5/G500/G502), it's a bit larger than what I'm used to but I think I'm getting accustomed to it.

Here's another shot of it:

Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says she's running against the "Ottawa establishment" as more federal cabinet ministers rally around her top rival Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada.

"It's central to my campaign to see this not about Liberal elites deciding. This is about the grassroots," Freeland said in an interview on CBC's The House that will air on Saturday.

I see.
