It usually works out pretty well with native speakers not familiar with the term. They usually have a moment with a blank stare thinking "what the hell is an acoustic bike?" and then realize all at once with a smirk.

As for your second question, acoustic becomes a good classification when talking to a group where electric bikes are the default, just like electric becomes a good classification where pure pedal bikes are the default. In a group where ebikes are the default they might assume you're talking about throttle type if you say analog, or a pedal assist bike if you said manual. It started as a joke and became a useful term.

I just put down a tarp for my sleeping pad. Somehow it makes the tent breathe better in my experience. After an hour or two the ground usually soaks up the water.

I have a similar tent and was surprised how little I missed having a floor.

I'm pretty sure that I healed with my foot in an unnatural position (outside tiles up slightly) causing the bone to heal in a shortened position. They don't do anything to your fibula in most cases as it bears very little weight, it's just allowed to heal on its own.

Only real thing I regret when I broke my leg was not using a cane after crutches. Didn't realize using the crutches too long led to my fibula reattaching incorrectly and breaking again a year later randomly as I was walking.

Looks great, but are green base rims making a comeback?

I've always found the idea that you are replacing religious faith with science to be ridiculous, it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is. Science does not ask for faith, it plainly lays out the facts and frameworks to be scrutinized. The scrutiny is the point.

For helpdesk this is perfectly fine, but if you want to upgrade a little bit I'd grab a pair of pants with side or slash pockets rather than the kind you find on jeans.

Is your belt on sideways? hard to tell but your buckle should be on the front. Generally you should match your belt to your shoes, I prefer brown in both cases as black can look too institutional.

You can practice putting a small fold on the tucked in part of your shirt to take up the extra slack around the waist, otherwise the shirt fits well.

Curious which man made image was most likely to be classified as ai generated

You know those things can get up there now, right? Like 70+mph

So he would have to give out 300 or so? Or 10 euro total?

I was just able to find it and subscribe so it should start to federate
