These Marathons are quite good (got myself Marathon Supreme) but even they aren't made of steel - had a flat after 3500 km, a glass shard came through the liner. While inspecting the tyre afterwards I've pulled 12 other shards out, though.
24 km one way, four or five days a week, depending on how I feel. While I am fat, I was actually pretty good in shape before I've picked up cycling since I used to have long walks (as in 20 km in the mountains). Still, if you are not used to it, it is strenuous, so just start riding, say, three times a week, and constantly raise the bar. The first few weeks will be difficult, then you'll get in form faster than you can believe it is possible, until you hit the limit.
And I wish we weren't so spread out where biking would make sense - commuting 16 - 20 miles one way on a bike isn't feasible.
Yes it is. 15 miles one way is exactly my commute, I use a heavy mountainbike and I am fat. A lighter person on a light road bike would have it even easier.
It is not silly at all. A two party system basically enforces the tyranny of majority. The little parties at least bring some wishes of large minorities into the game.
The Green party of Germany is the reason the air is much cleaner here than it used to be twenty years ago, also the reason why Germany is one of the leaders in "green" tech. They were ridiculed back then for being long-haired hippies, now they are an established party and the former two large parties matter less every day.
Has got nothing to do with the chancellor having a doctorate in quantum chemistry. She has supported the fraudster Guttenberg as long as it was possible.
Starting with "every HTC phone" and ending with "all two of them". Kids these days...
Had maybe ten of their phones starting with the Wallaby in 2003 and running WM2002, and ending with the Leo, currently running CM9 Android, three years old now. HTC always had state of the art hardware in their phones.
On the other hand, a standard katana would weigh maybe 1100 g (around 2.5 lbs), which is very similar to the common medieval European swords, but with an additional bonus of being wielded with both hands.
A 65 km commute isn't anything special for Europe. Neither is driving 400 km to a customer. We manage pretty fine. Actually, I know a guy who has got a 60 km commute and he takes a bicycle when it is not too cold or raining/snowing, so you are just being a pussy.
And there is nothing wrong with that. You don't need high skills for work that can be done by a code monkey and it is better than to outsource the same kind of menial work to India.
Not just less sugar, they ate less of everything. BTW I actually do like wild apples, but even a bunch of those is not enough after two hours of cycling. A kilogram of grapes, on the other hand, really helps to avoid hitting the wall.
Except that for most businesses you don't write your own sorting algorithm implementation but take the dataset sorting method instead. Reinventing the wheel - or worse, reimplementing the wheel - is often a bad idea.
The adaptation has worked well enough for milk digestion in a similar time frame, and with grains the selection pressure was way harder. Humans are very much omnivores and fruits and berries were always a large part of their diet. The difference to modern times is not the carbs, it is that humans were on the move all the time, being hunter-gatherers. Modern humans often lack this kind of workout, so it is not the carbohydrates that are killing people, lack of movement is.
Well, I eat lots of carbohydrates (both simple as in fruits and complex as in cereals) but not so much fat, and I also managed to lose 55 kg while doing that. Palaeolithic ancestors are overrated, natural selection happened also after humans invented farming.

That's what differential GPS (WAAS/EGNOS and local broadcasters) is for.
Besides, bicycles don't damage the road, they are far too light for that. Their ground pressure is similar to a pedestrian.
Not personally, but I know people who do. They use Nokian tyres.
Yes it is. 15 miles one way is exactly my commute, I use a heavy mountainbike and I am fat. A lighter person on a light road bike would have it even easier.
what kind of crap do you eat that you need to wash it down with half a liter of sugar water?

This definition just works, but only on a desert island.
You are talking about American airbags. European ones are specifically made to work together with seat belts.
If you are fine with just three rights, be my guest.
I prefer a few more, like a right for privacy or a right to dignity.
Comfort Curve 3000 keyboard is a huge step backward from the previous (and not available anymore) model.

I think Fachinformatiker - Anwendungsentwicklung is more fitting
There were no communist countries in practice. Even USSR was officially "merely" socialist, with communism being a long-term goal.
The adaptation has worked well enough for milk digestion in a similar time frame, and with grains the selection pressure was way harder.

So, being a car-less non-smoker I'll guess I can throw the first stone.

You are the one being confused. There is no government in communism and all questions are meant to be decided by grassroots democracy.
