Yes, 4C is @ 40F, but a rise from 20C to 24C is not an increase of 40F.

Friends who give you Kudos for a benign ride - it's a commute ffs - I do it on a regular basis, it's no biggy, it's not fast or long or anything that's outstanding in anyway ... it doesn't need Kudos ... I only log them because I want to log the miles on the bike and only leave them public in case I do put some effort in on a segment ...0 -

Much the same will likely happen today as the wife is using my turbo for rehabilitation on her knee. I am expecting 15 minutes at 8 mph, automatically uploaded, and auto kudos.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

this totally, I just record commutes to catalogue the miles, and occasionally see im improving, but nope get kudos every ride, which then makes you feel guilty if you dont kudos them back, and Im just stuck in loop of kudos :roll:0 -
I commute HARD and deserve every Kudos earned. 8) :twisted: :roll:0

Strava no longer linking with Relive. Not a massive deal but annoying all the same as it was always interesting to get the replay of ride overlaid on map.0

again not when Im doing a commute but it was either all in or nothing...I suspect Strava are developing their own version hence the seemingly manufactured fall out as Relive claim theyve gone back to what they were doing when Strava were ok with them for several years0 -

People dragging cases around shops, supermarkets, London in general because they've apparently never heard of Left Luggage.Ben

I think I have an uncle in Nigeria who offers something like that.
Buying the low fat garlic bread by mistake, it's not even butter for crying out loud. Luckily it wasn't too bad although I'll be careful not to buy it again.0 -

How hard is it to make your own?
Skip the butter and just mix olive oil, garlic and finely grated cheese if you want.0 -

'Madness'?! Heinous crime.
But as CB (ostensibly) said - diy:
1 baguette, slice it in two
Melt some butter
Add garlic - finely chopped or crushed (depending on your strength preference)
Spread it out and pop it in the oven.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Was taking my turn (= was forced to against my will) with the ironing and listening to Radio 4 hoping for some Hymns or stuff like that. It was the Archers - I thought it would be about Robin Hood or William Tell - but it is a load of blx farming soap with disjointed scenes and fng morons.
God knows what the (hopefully small) audience is like.
...on topic because it is trivial and annoyed me - and doubtless the rest of the thinking and unthinking world.0 -
TheBigBean wrote:In case anyone actually cares why they really shouldn't careThe Cambridge Guide to English Usage notes that the "pressure to substitute fewer for less seems to have developed out of all proportion to the ambiguity it may provide in noun phrases like less promising results". It describes conformance with this pressure as a shibboleth and the choice "between the more formal fewer and the more spontaneous less" as a stylistic choice
So here’s a wonderful example of where the distinction is worth making.
