mofos. But medical equipment makers have never been shy about their pricing. But they have a good riff. Buy or die.
Logitech g915 wireless keyboard. Really wanted to go wireless, but also really wanted separate media controls again, and the keyboard looks to be a super interesting combination of mechanical with a better low profile feel. Went with the linear, aka, cherry red switches. The gaming choice.
Good luck, sending positive thoughts for your kitty.

Even though I don't look at the keyboard while typing (99% of the time), the symbols/punctuation being flipped would drive me nuts.
Not carbon fibre, not careNew frame, fork, and headset. Now I can put the rest of it back together.
Aww, poor sweetie. If that's the only problem, I'm sure she'll be fine. And you seem like the kind of conscientious owner that will give her the daily (?) thyroid supps.I-131 therapy
Yeah...the days of building $5k BMX racing bikes out of carbon and titanium went out the door along with my health and ability to ride (hard). Now my goal is to spend as little as possible while still building an enjoyable and comfortable bike for the neighborhood. That still means between $1500 and $2k lolNot carbon fiber, not care

Looks like a Yeti frame (according to Google image search) that cost about $600, not counting the fork, headset and seat mount.New frame, fork, and headset. Now I can put the rest of it back together.
Really? how does that work. I didn't read the description and I sort of assumed that was a radioactive isotope that basically destroys the thyroid. But this must be something different.Assuming all goes well with the I-131 therapy she won't need them anymore.

That is so cool. It's so nice that medical science has finally given up on their slash and burn approach to things.Basically yeah. The I-131 accumulates in the growing overactive tissue and destroys it leaving behind the normal tissue. Assuming the dosage is correct should be back to normal function after the treatment.
This is actually a Mercier/Gravity (Basecamp model) frame, which came with the Suntour coil fork for less than 300. I had looked at Yeti, Santa Cruz, Mountain Cycle, Trek, and Specialized. Each had nice options for hardtail frames, but they were all priced a bit higher than I was looking to spend. I would rather just spend $7-800 for a full bike with 29" wheels, than spend 500 for a frame to extend the use of my 26" wheelset.Looks like a Yeti frame (according to Google image search) that cost about $600, not counting the fork, headset and seat mount.

That's what I get for being a bike snob and not wanting to ride "junk".
LOL!Pretty soon it's going to be cheaper to build a house out of TVs than plywood.
This frame is hydroformed aluminum.Is it steel or aluminum? Even though steel isn’t super high end or fancy, at least in the road bike world, I’m a big fan of my 15 year old steel Orbea frame. The whole bike still weighs under 20 pounds and it absorbs a surprising amount of high frequency “rattle your teeth out” vibrations compared to higher end carbon and aluminum that I’ve ridden. Less relevant for a mountain bike with suspension I suppose.

Steel is the most 'forgiving' ride, because it definitely provides greater dampening of vibration. A Standard Bikes frame that used 'Columbus OX Platinum air-hardened 4130 chromoly steel' was the most comfortable frame I've ever ridden. Aluminum can be the stiffest or 'harshest' feeling ride, and carbon can go either way depending on the manufacturer and the quality of the carbon weave/lay they utilize. Titanium can feel magical, but tends to cost even more than carbon fiber.
