  6. I only recently learned that the derailleur doesn't even know what it is doing, all of the indexing is up to the shifter and the derailleur just moves based on cable pull distance.

    A TanPan (or JTek) takes that indexed movement from a road shifter and makes it slightly longer in order to move MTB derailleur enough to match cassette spacing.

    This video does a pretty good job explaining it, even shows how to 3D print your own:

  11. I was reminded yesterday that I have never installed a derailleur, after messing up even attaching to hanger. Once that was fixed it's been a struggle of running cable through WolfTooth TanPan, attaching to derailleur, adjusting screws, and realizing maybe I didn't start with shifter in highest gear after all.
    Lots of light bulb moments and confidently swaggering in to finish it, followed by choice words and a hasty retreat for more "thinking".

  22. "#Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's #wealth, there's a natural #human desire to make more #wealth. Ever since #Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a #mosquito to an #artery to the #Google #cash #firehose. #TheRegister noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned #five."
    "And as for that #money — remember back in 2018? That's when #Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its #motto."
    "#Mozilla's #leadership is #directionless and #flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a #profit, because it never had to make a #profit. It's no wonder it has no real #direction or #vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a #business."
    "Like we said, don't #blame the #app. You're still #better off with Firefox or a fork such as #Waterfox. #Chrome even #snoops on you when in #incognito mode, and as we #warned you, Google removed the APIs #adblocker #extensions used. You still get better #adblocking in #Firefox."

  24. CW: re: Mental health, "being the strong one," mentions of covid, thread

    I'm in a place where I want the people in my inner circle to be able to meet me on my own terms, hold space for big feelings without being overwhelmed, allow me to be honest about the #DisenfranchisedGrief I'm still carrying for the life I'll never have. If I can't have that, I'd rather be alone. I've put up a lot of barriers to try to keep people who can't be that out, but sometimes I let my guard down, and then I'm left asking, "Now what?" How do I put the barriers up after the fact, without hurting the other person?

    I think a lot of struggling people see me as a port in the storm, so they end up clinging to me as they flail, but what they don't see is that I'm also flailing, I'm just better at pretending to smile as I do it.

    The last time I ended up in this situation with someone, our friendship imploded in a very messy way, and I'd like to not repeat that, but I don't what else to do.

  26. So how long exactly is the kvetching period regarding a party thing that should never have gone down the way it did ? The whole sleazy leaked conference call / mass media clown car( really- how does that happen?)no class , no skills, no discretion, no discernment circus we usually expect from the #Flailing #Fascist #Felon party formerly known as the #GOP ?

    #Dems seem to have carpe diemmed their way out of the sh*tshow in less than 48 hours. Is that real ? Hopefully yes.Look at the alternative
