 I was wondering.  The major gain from using clips (clipless pedals) in biking is increased pedaling efficiency, especially during climbs and sprints, as they allow a rider to both push down and pull up on the pedals, resulting in a more fluid and effective power transfer with every stroke. Efficiency and Power Transfer Clipping in ensures that a rider's feet remain in the optimal position on every pedal stroke, maximizing the amount of power transferred directly from the legs to the bike, which can lead to greater speed and reduced effort for the same output. With clips, cyclists engage a wider range of leg muscles, allowing for a smoother stroke and utilizing both the downstroke (quads) and upstroke (hamstrings), which is not possible on flat pedals where the upstroke is wasted. How ever, this is some theory with practice, can we gave some estimated % value for this? The percentage improvement in cycling performance from using clips (clipless pedals) is typically around 5% ...

Latest kindle software is very offensive by forcing pop about about registration once you turn ir on :)  Is there a way not to register?  It is not strictly mandatory to register the latest Kindle device to use it, as you can use some basic functions without registration by opting to "set up later" and connecting your Kindle to a PC for sideloading content. However, registration is required to access Amazon services like the Kindle Store, cloud library syncing, and certain features such as cover display options.aboutamazon+1 Key points about Kindle registration: Registering your Kindle links it to your Amazon account, enabling easy access to purchased Kindle books, syncing across devices, and the ability to buy or download from the Kindle Store Without registration, you cannot access cloud content or buy books directly; you would need to sideload content manually via USB Some Kindle features like display covers are only available when the device is registered.

 For my curiosity :) Donald Trump is considered to be a capable golfer, especially for his age. He reportedly has an official golf handicap of 2.8, which is very low and indicates a high skill level among amateur golfers. Golf experts have noted that although his swing is somewhat unconventional, he generates good power and rotation for a man in his late 70s. His putting, however, is seen as a weaker aspect of his game. Golf professionals observing his play commented that Trump's swing is effective, even if unusual, and that he maintains quite a bit of speed through impact. Some advice for him would be to keep his backswing more on-plane, but overall, his golf skills are commendable for his age. His putting style looks awkward but he does manage to sink putts. His claim of a 2.8 handicap is plausible on shorter or less demanding courses. Besides skill, Trump has a reputation for playing quickly and competitively, and he has won numerous club championships, mostly on his own courses...

One of the apps you can use is for languages is Duolingo. BUT does not currently offer Lithuanian as a supported language. As of mid-2024 and into 2025, there is no official Lithuanian course available on Duolingo, and users cannot rely on the platform for structured Lithuanian language lessons. While there is continued interest in the addition of Lithuanian, and some community discussions and petitions exist, Duolingo has not yet launched this language, likely due to demand and resource prioritization.ling-app+5 If you want to learn Lithuanian, you will need to use alternative platforms such as Ling, Talkpal, Memrise, or italki, all of which provide resources for Lithuanian language learners. Summary: As of August 2025, there is no fully-supported “learn English from Lithuanian” course on Duolingo or comparable global apps. The best solution is to use tutoring platforms to match with bilingual instructors or use apps that at least allow Lithuanian as a base language (though these rema...

  The most recent Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra update (One UI 7 / Android 15) switched the app drawer to a vertical, continuous scroll by default, removing the horizontal paginated (page-by-page) view many users preferred. While there is no direct setting to return to the old alphabetical paginated list, there is a workaround: switching the app drawer’s sort order to "Custom" from the menu. How to Restore Paginated App Drawer Open the App Drawer: Swipe up from the home screen to access all  Tap the three dots menu: It's at the top or bottom of the app drawer (search bar area) Select "Sort" and choose "Custom Order": This switches the app drawer to a horizontal, paged layout—apps are spread across pages rather than in a vertical list Optional: Use "Clean Up Pages" Button: After switching to custom order, you may see uneven app distribution. The "Clean Up Pages" option will fill each page more densely but the apps will not be sorted alpha...
