  • I knew that she was a comedian but hadn’t seen any of her standup so I didn’t really have any attachment to her as a reason to want to watch the show. But I like it. It’s definitely getting better, but it also definitely depends on the chemistry of the guests. I remember the one with Gillian Jacobs (obligatory “oh, Britta’s in this?”) was particularly good. Their YouTube channel puts up a playlist of most (all?) of the previous night’s show, and it has become a regular watch while I’m doing emails etc in the morning.





  • Not an answer to your software question, but you will very likely struggle with overheating since your phone will almost necessarily be in direct sunlight for hours at a time. If you really need to do this, avoid mounting your phone with a case and try to use a mount that does not cover too much of your phone’s rear surface- cases and mounts can make it harder for your phone to dissipate heat.




  • I have two bikes that I ride frequently- commuting or otherwise. I have a saddle bag with a quick release latch that makes it easy to switch between bikes depending on which one I’m going to be riding. I keep two tubes (I run 28mm tires so the tubes aren’t huge), a small pump, tire levers, a multi tool, a small tubeless plug kit, and a little shop rag.

    My nicer bike is set up tubeless so I don’t need to deal with flats often, but I have needed to stop and put in some extra air after a persistent leak before. My other bike runs tubes and I do get flats sometimes despite running Continental GP 4 Seasons tires.

    The worst part is the pump. It takes forever and it’s physically awkward. Electric pumps are getting smaller and cheaper, but I worry I’ll forget to keep it charged.



  • I mean if I don’t need to use them, I’m happy to leave them unused. But I do want some sort of tool storage so I don’t have to ride with a hip pack or camelbak on shorter rides. The Dakine Gripper I used on my old bike is just about the right amount of tool storage for me, but I just need a better way to mount it to my bike. As is, it just always slides down the frame after some bumps. Besides just being annoying, it also scuffs the paint on the frame after a while, so I’d love to find something similar that uses the bottle cage mounts instead of strapping onto/around the frame.
