Old school (mid-'80s+) software/techie, data and information designer/architect (bonus points: I'm GenX). More analog than digital. Happy cargo ebike rider. Learning to be a social media inert gas.
FWIW, a friend recommended this brand. It's my favorite so far. (I've not ventured into the high-end.)

Yeah, I know (AMZN). Chances are one could find it in a large city asian grocery store.

Well worth tracking it down.

FWIW, I would not be surprised to hear of many more of cases like this. Esp given the US Govt's current rate of terrorist designations. Sanctioning/De-banking is a powerful lever.

(this whole thread is worth reading)

Another point: the Trump admin is REALLY using terrorist designation a lot this term. Unprecedented increase in FTOs.

There are now 90 groups on the Foreign Terrorist Organization list. In the mid-2010s, there were around 60 FTOs.

(Wide grin re: term def/ns.)

Very helpful comment. Kinda explains the randomness I was bumping into.

I'm going to do the same with the peace sign for cars as they pass.

I've been doing something similar to thoughtful drivers. Has made a difference.

I've been gesturing thank you* to drivers who go out of their way or defer to me when I'm riding. I'm in a small town (I see the same cars a lot). It really helps.

* Exaggerated nod while also taking my hand from my chest/heart forward and down. The hand gesture is similar to "thank you" in ASL.

I wondered that as well. The article hints at what I suspect is the prime use case: team support on race day. The mechanic could have this in a small toolkit and attend to bikes where they are, rather than a run back to the pump location.

Std home use? My floor pump does just fine.
