    Repairing your bike is easy and checking the important parts every couple of months makes riding it a lot better.

      Same thing with cars. Checking tires increases milage, checking fluids can save you a ton of money, changing oil isn’t hard and takes basic tools.

        Well that is one of the things I have no idea about. But maybe it depends on the type of mechanism you use? I can’t imagine it would be too hard with my bike.

          Yes probably, the last time i attempted this was with my old bike, which had one of those horrible 3x8 shifters. I guess it would be a lot easier with my current 1x12

        Mainly to get to work (10 minutes), but also all other short ways and occasionally getting out in nature.

        As soon as money allows it, I’ll get a better one though. It’s used and I mainly bought it because the seller was close to where I live, but I need a larger frame and I want more modern mechanics, e.g. disc brakes, overall.

    Economics. I never understood it that well having taken two years of high school classes for law and government, then watched a single Economics Explained video and understood so much that I hadn’t understood before.

    That you can think of an average as the center of mass of a dataset. Similarly, that you can think of a standard deviation as the center of mass of the distances between each point and the average.

    Its pretty easy to make your own soda. 1 tsp Sodium or Potassium bicarbonate, 1tsp citric acid OR ~3-4 tablespoons vinegar, flavoring (fruit juice or drink mix + sweetener to taste) and 2-4 cups of water in a bottle with 3-4 inches of room to prevent it from exploding before you cap it. Throw it in the fridge or use cold water.

    Alternatively you can make fermented soda using yeast but this isnt something I normally do since I am purposefully using potassium bicarbonate as the bicarbonate source to pressurize the soda. (More potassium in my diet)

    The main advantage of making soda yourself is you can make it any flavor you want. You arent really limited by what flavor of soda you can buy.

      I recently learned that carbonic acid formed by co2 and water in soda ends up eroding enamel of the teeth. The more carbonated the drink the more severe the effects.

    I realized last night while doing a puzzle with friends that I can just take a picture of the puzzle box. That way we aren’t fighting over the box, and I can zoom in and rotate the picture anyway I need to.

    I’m not sure this is a brilliant discovery or I am just a bit slow.
