Some people had magazine racks next to the toilet. There was a whole Seinfeld episode about George taking a book into the bathroom.

Contact your local sailing club/yacht club. They often have classes and rental boats. Even if they don’t, you can sometimes find someone with a boat who is willing to teach a beginner.
“Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys is the same Ab7 chord for the whole song. Lock in that one chord shape and then all you have to do is get the strumming pattern. Put a capo across four strings on the first fret to make life even easier for your left hand.

This page says there are slight changes in the chorus. Just don’t strum the low E string for that part. If you or your friends are belting out the lyrics then it won’t matter anyway.
The intro and verse to “About A Girl” by Nirvana is also easy. You go back and forth between Em and G, and it’s a relaxed tempo. To play the chorus you have to learn a few bar chords. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/nirvana/about-a-girl-tabs-36242
Yeah. I love water!
Swimming! The summer heat is here (it was 98F/36C today) and the neighborhood pool is open, so there is no better place to be in the afternoons.
I’m sure it’s been years. I tell myself I maintain my bikes well, but I’ll be honest: I usually ride it 'till something breaks. I was asking for this one.
This is the answer right here. Hook up with a local sailing club and take classes. If you love it, make friends with other sailors and rent the club’s boats.
If there’s interesting stuff to see near shore, and the tides are manageable, then kayaking is also great. It’s cheap and easy to get into, and great exercise.
Homeopathics, though sometimes even a placebo can have beneficial effects.
I think you’re doing it right. The frame and derailleur both look like they are set up for top-pull cable routing. The manual you referenced is describing a bottom-pull setup, hence the confusion. You should only need to get the cable tension correct.
Despite my best efforts to get away from computers, I still find myself attached to them in one way or another during most of my waking hours. Lemmy is my computer time that acts as a mental break from other computer time. Connecting in an even more intimate way sounds horrible.
This is a total shot in the dark, but maybe you could use a preload adjuster from another coil-sprung fork with the same stanchion size. Maybe even from a different manufacturer, since they would likely use the same thread. You could take a $10 gamble on a Suntour preload adjuster:

You might also try eBay or AliExpress. Sometimes they have obscure odds and ends. Like this kit of Dart parts that includes a knob labeled “preload”: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805637110919.html?browser_id=8a1984772dfd4ab080c71915b949e34f&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=adfdabcbef1900ad6c6a8111bffe272536d7dee6fc&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2129.48%2129.48%21%21%21213.18%21213.18%21%40210307c117181687661077207ed2ce%2112000034479042138%21sea%21US%210%21AB&algo_pvid=8def227a-db37-43af-a5e8-b289a18ad24f
Apple DOS on an Apple IIe in school.
First Linux distro was Debian.
I was rougher on pillows back then.
There’s a story here, I just know it.
Yes, the first link is combatants only. I think the numbers in the second link include civilian deaths, but it isn’t explicitly stated on that page.
You might like this graph of global war deaths by year from 1800 to present:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-in-wars
World War 2 vastly overshadows all other conflicts. Something like 3.7% of the global population died. Some individual countries lost more than 10% of their populations. No other conflict, or group of regional conflicts, comes anywhere close.
I wish the graph in the link had an option to normalize by population. I bet a graph of war deaths as a percent of global population would look very peaceful over the past 50 years.
Edit to add a link about my 10% population number:

Since becoming a parent my nightmares all involve my kids being harmed: crashing their bicycles, getting hit by cars, falling and hitting their heads, etc. It’s awful.
I thought this was the thread about the force-sensitive wookies?
Before the internet, there really was only 1 viewpoint and 1 viewpoint only on the news.
Absolutely, though it went beyond the news. Culture in general was much more monolithic. You could start a conversation with any random person about the previous evening’s episode of Gunsmoke or MASH or Cheers and there was a very good chance they had watched it. It’s hard to overstate how much more diverse culture has become in the Internet era, for better and for worse.
Yep, I dialed directly into a modem on the far end and used a terminal emulator to navigate the service. A local office supply store had a cork board by the door where people could post events or sell used stuff, and a few BBSs had their info posted there.
The BBS I used actually partnered with the office supply store to sell credits. I would go to the customer service counter and buy a piece of paper with an access code that I could then redeem for hours on the server. That’s how the BBS paid for their hardware and phone lines.
That cheaper 88 octane fuel is a blend of 85% unleaded gasoline and 15% ethanol. It’s also known as E15 fuel.
The ethanol is an oxygenate: it adds oxygen atoms to the fuel mix so the fuel burns more completely. That’s good for vehicle emissions. However, the ethanol is less energy dense than gasoline so you will get slightly worse mileage.
