Best deterrent I’ve experienced is having dogs.

Lived in a beach area that saw lots of property theft and such. In the three years we lived there, literally the only time we ever locked the door was when we evacuated for hurricanes and took the dogs with us. I didn’t even bother carrying a house key because I knew the door was always going to be unlocked. Never once had a problem.

Thieves don’t want to deal with dogs when they could easily just pick a house that doesn’t have dogs.

I think the closest you will get is VSCode with the Code Runner extension. Not as lightweight, but probably as light as you will get in Windows.

The track is too wet to use the slicks. So they have to use tires made for driving in weT conditions. Green ties for a little wet. Blue tires for really wet.

If you don’t connect the LG to the network it can be just a dumb monitor. Set the tv to always use the last active input when you turn it on and you will never see a menu or any prompts.

In the narrowest reading of the article, maybe. But as I said the House already passed their bill. It is in the Senate’s hands now. But since the Senate requires a supermajority, they need some level of Dem support to pass it. And since anything the Senate passes would have to go back to the House for reconciliation, House leadership is very much involved in those negotiations (or lack thereof) since they would have to line up support in their own chamber. And that is what the article is talking about. Not just the House, but the negotiations as a whole and Johnson’s part in it. (Or refusal to participate as seems to be the case.)

Yes and no. That is true in the House. And the Republicans have passed a version of the bill in the House. The Senate, OTOH, requires 60 votes for a measure to pass. So they need at least 7 votes from non-GOP members to pass anything.

If you are taking a flight in the morning, could you spend the night in the airport?

Do we know what happened to Colapinto?

If the roads are truly highways, you will want to check the laws where you are to confirm if it is legal to ride your bike on those roads. Typically, bikes are not allowed on highways. Regardless, you may want to see if there is an alternate route available. Riding on high speed roads with moderate to heavy traffic is not something I like to do if there is a different option available.

As someone else suggested, a gravel bike may be a good option. Personally I would avoid an e-bike. Nothing wrong with them, but if the goal is to get exercise, then why get a bike that is designed to minimize the amount of work you have to do? It will be tougher in the beginning while you get used to it, but once you do, you’ll be fine.

By far, the single most valuable resource available to new riders is a good local bike store. Find one and talk to them about what you’re trying to do. They’ll be able to make recommendations that are right for you. They’ll also be familiar with the roads in your area and be able to offer good advice about potential routes.
