The annual look at pro team sponsors and what they do. Many of the sponsors are the same as last year but their situation has changed.

The End of the World (also known as End of Ze World) is a Flash animated viral video created by Jason Windsor of Albino Blacksheep in 2003. A copy of the animation uploaded by Albino Blacksheep to YouTube in 2008 had approximately 14 million views before being abandoned in favor of a higher-resolution version.

Around the time the video was created, the United States invaded Iraq, which ultimately led to the Iraq War. In an interview with the Daily Dot in 2017, Windsor said "I don't know that I really thought that the world was going to end ... I guess that was kind of the first time I sort of had to comprehend that [the possession of nuclear weapons by foreign countries]."

There are a few changes to the rules this year which could be worth note at this year’s Tour which range from feeding to sprinting and the mountain stages.

Hi all, I am trying out scheduling posts with my account. I can set them up initially but then when I review them, they're set to a much later time. I assume that's a time zone issue? For example, I set a post for 6:00am in the ui, saved. On review, it says 10:00am.

Can someone please explain how this should work?

I love having the feature though, so thank you to whoever created it!

Hi again. I've got most of the leaks sorted in my gravel bike's new tubeless tires, but they're still going flat, now in about 5 minutes. I did the soap test to determine where the leaks are, and the only leaks I can see are right at the base of the valve stem.

Searching for this online, most answers were "it's the tape". But these wheels are only about 1 year old and the hole at the valve looks clean / flat to me.

I am using Stans valves and have about 4oz of sealant in there right now, if that helps.

Is there any way to resolve this, short of completely re-taping the rim?

Thanks!

Hey hey, I just returned from two weeks on vacation in China and I'm returning seriously embarrassed about how bad my Mandarin is. I live in the US and have very little experience learning Mandarin so far and my pronunciation is horrible. I want to work to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation. The 4 tones are very hard for me, as my hearing is not great to start.

Any ideas for a complete beginner would be greatly appreciated. For instance, will I learn faster with a teacher / in person lessons, or is online learning good enough these days?

I have experience learning other languages, FYI, including Spanish and French and a little Dutch. Cheers for keeping this community alive!
