The rollout of RCS on iMessage has been confusing to me. I know some carriers like Mint don't yet support iMessage RCS; the company's founder has said that it's something on their end that will be fixed around December. But I've also seen some people on Apple's forums pointing fingers at Apple.

I want to get a better understanding of what the holdup is. How does the iMessage RCS bridge work? What are the technical challenges? Why was every carrier not working on this for months and prepared for the iOS 18 rollout? And if I'm using Google Messages on an MVNO that doesn't yet support iMessage RCS, does that imply I can't RCS message an iPhone user on a carrier that does support it?

I did some tire maintenance about six months ago. Generally not bad, but if you don't have a tank air compressor you're going to have a hard time seating the thing

Yanukovych fled because people started raiding armories and shooting at Berkut. In Egypt the army sided with the protestors. Don't know Tunisia and Algeria off the dome but I doubt there was no violence or threat of imminent violence

Are there any socialist candidates that are pro- gun rights and Ukraine?

Dollars to donuts she was on her phone. It's not an unfortunate accident, it's manslaughter

Sounds like you're thinking of 538's election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0

Assuming crutches work like other bludgeoning weapons, a mithril crutch would be right about useless. Mithril's one of the lightest materials in the game and bludgeoning weapons scale based on their weight. It's a bit of an exploit to give your Hammerer a mithril warhammer so when he goes to mete out justice to a criminal dwarf, it's more of a light tickle than a hospitalization

Czech President Petr Pavel said the initiative was not advancing as rapidly as envisaged partly due to the Russian government knowing details of the operation.

“The more people know about the initiative, the more competition there is – on the one hand it was necessary to make it public to gain the support of other countries, but on the other we also revealed our cards, which Russia is of course now exploiting,” Pavel said.

What? So what if Russia knows? How could they slow down a buy?

Can you please elaborate? My naive thought is that it's small enough that I could patch or plug it and be able to at least ride for a few days til I can replace the tire.

I've been wondering about that. We have a good bit of broken glass in the alley my garage is on. That's my best guess, but I can't imagine what scenario could actually lead to a bit of glass gouging through that much rubber. And then for it to not be noticeable until after a 20 minute ride, and for the glass to fall out of the hole? Seems a bit implausible.

 

I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit?

I'm not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn't need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don't want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.
