I went through a special k phase last year, but it honestly seemed kind of defective. There were kind of a lot of really hard pieces that didn't crunch at all. I mean maybe not every single bite but most of them. Looking back I'm surprised I didn't break a tooth.

Anyone else a traditionalist like me and notice how bad it's been? It was such a good cereal but really ruined by the hard pieces. I've switched to granola for a while, and before that was in a Great Grains era but dang I miss just a stupid simple low sweetness cereal that's actually good for you, cheap, and not crazy loaded with fiber.

We all know that fundamentally aluminum is softer and wears faster than steel, but recently I've realized that a lot of the common cheap steel chainrings are a lot thinner than aluminum ones, and don't really seem to last that long. Am I making sense? Has anyone else noticed this?

It also occurs to me that with a thinner gear, it might put more wear on the chain since the pressure is uneven on the rollers. Does that make sense or not so much? Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Like the title says... I was (very stupidly I know) playing with an arduino and left it plugged into a 2nd power source while plugging it into my laptop (Dell e5470) Turned out to be 9v AC. The arduino seems to be dead, and I remember my laptop screen going black when this happened. But that could've just been a power saving function because I hadn't touched it for a few minutes.

The main thing it's doing now is struggling to come out of standby. I will wait a few minutes and I have to hit the power button to put it back into standby, then it seems to power on happily in a few seconds. Weirdly, the USB port in question seems to work fine.

Are there tests I can run or anything to check on to see if there is damage to the hardware? Check voltage output of the USB port? I'm not much of a software person, should I use windows "event log" (I forget if that's what it's called).

Thanks!

Hey guys. I currently have 2 frames that I'm considering upgrading to 1.5kw. One is a rad runner, the other is a random full suspension frame.

I do have a Fox air shock for it that will probably work, but unfortunately the fork is pretty garbage and the other forks I have are not dual crown (AKA triple tree) they seem to put the steering at too steep an angle on that bike.

Given I can get a suspension fork for the rad runner, would you recommend it over the other frame for up to 35mph? I have not ridden an ebike over 20mph yet. The other frame is a "movcan" full steel. I am not sure it feels necessary for just 1.5kw.

I have an old kindle 3, and I've seen people get original gameboy games to work which is awesome. But are there any graphical games written specifically for e ink displays like this?

I was thinking that a spooky top down platformer could actually look really cool and spooky with some of the graphical stuff that happens with a full screen refresh. Obviously there are the limitations, like turn based gameplay is necessary. But I'm hoping there are some developers who like to work within limitations, often it's a great way to learn and grow.

If not I may try to take this on myself.
