Why Is Hawaii So Expensive?
Aloha! If you're wondering why the cost of living is so high in Hawaii, you're not alone. Hawaii's beautiful beaches, warm weather, and laidback culture make it a dream destination for many. However, the price

Me being the designated ball breaker of EBR... I don't mind the occasional mosh pit.
I find it a humorous distraction from mind numbing "how's your derailleur"

exactly.
lots of people ride bikes here for utility purposes, and probably 75% have a derailleur, another 20% an IGH of some sort, and 5% are single speed or fixies ridden by the young and generally very strong.

Since its the internet this is required by the rules ..."how's your derailure"
And so long as I have a theme going, re: the value of this thread

Corrected.
Typing without reading glasses.... I end up inputting haphazardly.. which ends up being saved in autocorrect.. which in turn ends up being the default suggestion.. which in turn my lazy ass goes for first

Like my buddy who looked up that wine he was sipping and telling me that it is worth $1110 per bottle! That was as fun for two minutes as thinking you won the lottery.

I wonder why the Americans have never simplified the spelling to "derailer" 
I know Sheldon Brown really tried...

I am taking a not taking a brake but a brief break to check on the mangled wreck of this fun thread.
@Rome, on Jun 3, 2023, 280 people died in that train wreck in India. It took weeks to clear and 1/3rd of the bodies were never claimed. I am not about to post a video of it and would rather talk about bikes.
I did show a photo of Snoop Dogg on a bottle of wine. That wine was originally from Australia. It featured mug shots of people expelled from England to the prison colonies in Australia. There were 19 crimes where that was the sentence. One was impersonating a Muslim to do things on Sundays such as buying and selling, or cross-dressing.
I have two Shimano GRX gravel bikes today. What is weird about them is the smallest cog on the cassettes have 10 teeth not the typical 11. It is because the smallest three cogs thread into the forth smallest. I typically do not like non-standard options for maintaining things. Now parts for the ten-speed GRX setups are very hard to find so people are in a jam after buying into the latest and greatest.

Is it me? Or is the world nuts? In Oklahoma any adult can pack concealed semi-auto heat in public, but brass knuckles are a crime to have because they are a 'deadly weapon'. Anyone heard of a drive-by with brass knuckles? Or a mass killings at at rate of twice per day with brass knuckles? Brass knuckles are a bare arms, at arm's length armament.

We adopt words from other languages. The Germans do it perhaps more than others and this was well-illustrated a few years ago.I wonder why the Americans have never simplified the spelling to "derailer"

Any country does
Bear in mind English is a language exclusively created from the tongues of all invaders to southern Britain (while Welsh is the native language of Cymru).Take the English word "manoeuvre" (it is as hard I cannot memorize it!) and compare it to the American "maneuver" (so simple!) One might think the French word "derailleur" would be simplified to "derailer" for sheer simplicity. It has not happened, perhaps out of some snobism?
As I said, Sheldon Brown was the advocate of the simpler word but he failed.
