They’ve used it both ways in
They’ve used it both ways in short order – to mean ‘there’s good grip there’ and ‘it’s a bit dodgy because there’s no grip’. That’s why it’s one of my favourite cycling phrases.
‘that was “grippy”Had to down a shot for that one already.

Why is a job in Britain better than a job in another country, though?

What’s wrong with people in other countries having jobs, though?
Self driving certainly seems like a tough problem, but I don’t see why it would require “strong AI”Because driving in current conditions requires theory of mind to predict what the other idiots on the road are going to do.
To be fair, we don’t seem to require that of human drivers.
That still only gives
That still only gives percentages, though. We don’t know whether that 172% increase is from 1000 trips to 2720, or from 18 trips to 49 (which could be much more affected by statistical variability).
Strictly speaking, it doesn’t
Strictly speaking, it doesn’t say that home deliveries are increasing traffic – it conjectures that it’s probably due to a combination of home deliveries, ride hailing, and satnav-induced rat-running. It doesn’t make any attempt to quantify or disaggregate them.
If I had to guess, I’d say home deliveries are probably the smallest contributor of the three, because many of them, before they were home delivered, would have involved someone jumping in the car to get to wherever they were going to buy/collect the thing that’s now being delivered, so you’re just replacing one journey with another. Whereas the other two are much more likely to be strightforwardly new traffic.

Almost, but not quite. In
Almost, but not quite. In essence, yes, you want a 7/8 speed chain for an 8 speed drivetrain. A 9 speed chain would probably work just fine, though. The other way around – running an 8 speed chain on a 9 speed cassette won’t work, because the wider chain won’t fit properly between the sprockets.
Is that a no to one of these
Is that a no to one of these then?
