Try playing around with the pressure. Find what you like. Suspension is a real speed killer, on even surfaces. With every pedal stroke you compress the suspension, and that power doesn’t make it to the rear wheel. If you don’t have a lock out, adjust to as little suspension you feel works for you.

There are a lot of rules of thumbs, but in the end it needs to work for you. Stiff suspension and hard tires will give you speed, soft suspension and soft tires give comfort

Cadence is also a personal preference, lower cadence is more based on muscle power (50-70 rpm) higher (90 rpm+) put more load on your cardiovascular system. In time you’ll drift towards what feels natural for you Going up hill try experimenting with the cadence. You’ll quickly discover what cadence you feel is efficient for you

In regards to your gearing question, it is hard to tell, it’s about ratios between the number of teeth on the cassette and chainring. Find an rpm you like, adjust gear until you find that rpm

Are you riding on pavement or trails? Mountainbike tires are generally a lot slower on tarmac, due to the tire pattern, and width, compared to a road tire. Also on tarmac you should increase the pressure in your tire quite a bit.

Don’t listen to which speeds people tell you to aim for. Look for improvements in your own rides.

Road surface, hills, wind, tires, style of bike, your height, position on the bike, traffic and many more things have an impact on your speed. Compare yourself with yourself

Does the Constitution apply to non-us citizens?

Lots of people still watch the movies on streaming. As little as a few weeks ago, my wife suggested we should watch one of the movies. She has no particular contact with the LGBTQ+ society, and didn’t know anything about JK Rowlings behaviour. I’ve had a few colleagues that are gay, but I never had meaningful exposure to the queer community either, until I stumbled into roller derby a decade ago.

So I assume a lot of people watch HP, not of malice, but unknowingly or with indifference to who JK Rowling is as a person

Simple supply and demand… They are not willing to pay enough for their workers

Rumors had circulated last week that the younger Guzmán would plead guilty to avoid trial for several drug trafficking charges in the U.S. after being extradited in 2023.

He believed that was the case because the former cartel boss, whose lawyer said in January he had entered negotiations with U.S. authorities, had been pointing fingers at members of other criminal organizations likely as part of a cooperation agreement.

“It is evident that his family is going to the U.S. because of a negotiation or an offer that the Department of Justice is giving him,” Garcia Harfuch said.

So it looks like they are trying to exit the game

So you would like them to put hardware into a model, made before they decided to add said hardware? So how about any new hardware added in the next Pixel, should they also have put that into previous Pixels?

Software updates will always have hardware limitations

The only reason for a vacuum to lose suction power is due to being clogged somewhere. Maybe it’s time to change the internal filter. The internal filter is usually behind the bag. Try to either wash it or replace it.
