inTIL that the bike lane on 109 Street has a huge crack that messed up my tire last Tuesday
Yeah @elizabeth_king nailed it with calling the hotline. I hit the exact same crack on Thursday last week, same spot near the university crossing, and my rim got bent too. Cost me $34 at the shop on 99 Street because the tire kept losing air after I rode on it flat. The online form is useless for this stuff, I reported a pothole on 82 Avenue last month and it took three weeks before anyone even looked at it.

inI still think using torque sticks on lug nuts is a bad habit
Wait, have you actually tested these things yourself on a consistent basis? I get where you're coming from but I've seen too many shops where the air pressure in the line drops and suddenly those sticks are off by 20 or 30 foot-pounds. It's not just about using a torque wrench to double check, the whole point of the stick is to be a shortcut and shortcuts always bite you in the end. I've watched guys just hammer them on and call it a day, and then a week later the customer is back with a wobble or a loose wheel. I'd rather spend the extra two minutes doing it right than deal with that headache.

inMy French press method was wrong for like 6 months until a barista fixed it
But nobody's mentioned that tap water minerals can mess with extraction just as much as grind size.
