There's a cargo bike out in DC that we really want. If it was any closer I would just drive out to get it. Shipping is proving difficult.
Does a service exist where I can give some dude who has a truck who is driving between DC and Ann Arbor a few hundred bucks to put it in the bed?
Surely there's a hundred people doing that drive every week that could bring this thing to us!

We have broken a lot of spokes on our ebikes. Both have rear hub motors and both are ridden pretty hard, but not off-road.
Is this normal? Do those of you with mid-drives experience this?
Boosts welcome!

Have any of you had an umbilical hernia repaired? I have one and need to schedule surgery for it. I have some questions about recovery. Mostly around how to take care of a very physical toddler while recovering from surgery. Boosts welcome!

If he hits the site of the repair is is going to hurt or cause complications?
How soon were you able to get back doing normal thingd around the house (dishes, vacuuming, cooking, etc.)?

Looking for good talks on programming concepts to share with a group at work. Does anyone have any favorites?
We just watched this one and did a discussion and enjoyed it a lot:

Does anyone in Ann Arbor have a metal detector we can borrow? I need to see if there's more hidden pipes in our basement.

Anyone have a basement waterproofing company they like? We, at minimum, need a sump pump. Probably more. Boosts welcome!

Anyone have recommendations for insulation companies in Ann Arbor? We need our attic and our crawlspace done. I got a quote from Spink a while back that was higher than expected so looking for additional options.

An old college friend of mine is working on opening a performance space/cafe in detroit. Looks like a cool project! Just pitched in a few bucks to help them get going:
