You could replace your regular fender/mudguard with an "ass-saver" type that sticks out parallel to the ground. But in any case wet tyres would have a negative impact on the ability of this device to efficiently drive the tyr

It's not a cookies banner. It's a request to harvest your data and share it with third parties for purposes that are not required for the service you're offering. No harvest data to 936 partners? No need for a banner!

It's not nerdism, it's just a general infantilism. It suits anyone with power as the plebs now don't have the ability to reason about policy when they're infinitely doom-scrolling 15 second cat videos.

Tell me you weren't around during the dot com boom without etc, etc. The benefit is neither here nor there - it's whether the borrowed money will ever be repaid on the lenders' terms.
