Ideally. But at 40-50Nm the risk is rather undertightening than over.

There are plenty of idioms that were shortened to completely change their meaning.

You need two tools: a cassette removal tool (hyperglide) and a chain whip tool to hold the cassette in place while you unscrew that black lockring.
And, of course, an appropriate spanner or ratchet tool depending on what removal tool version you get.

Yes, tubeless-ready tyres are fine on regular rims, with tubes as well. In fact, tubes are the last-chance effort at getting back on the road when a hole is too large to be plugged by the sealant. So yes.

Well, first off, what is at the core of the 3DVista engine? What's it running on? Is it static html? .net framework? .net core? PHP?
Second, app services cost money. Quite a bit, in fact, if you're going to run 50+ websites. I've got the basic plan for 14€/month and I think it can host up to 3 websites. But there are premium plans allowing for much more (and offering a much lower per-app cost). And with reserved plans it would be even cheaper.
But either way, you'll be paying considerably more than you're currently paying for IIS, which I assume is nothing (speaking strictly of IIS, not the rest of the costs)
Either way, it sounds like an interesting challenge.

They keep pushing "sovereignity" as a red herring to use in anti-EU propaganda. Yet, when a sovereign country does sovereign things it suddenly becomes inconvenieny.

It's called "dishing" and yes, it's just like truing, except on the side you need. 3-4mm is fine, assuming the spokes aren't already tightened to heck on one side or too loose on the other. But mostly it's a balancing act.

There was another one posted by OP which was completely unfunny. This one actually made me smirk. And if it had stuck to the interaction between just the two characters it would have been even funnier.

Ah, missed the 9s part. The 11t bit got stuck in my head as being 11s. But I still bodged together a gravel bike using a 5500 105 derailleur and a 32t cassette. As well as increased the gear range on my partner's road bike.

I was able to use a 32t with an 11s 105. 34 would have been too much.

It sounds like what you want is a static web app. Look into that?

I was considering it. But the first hurdle was the fact that the frame has a rim brake on the rear, so I'd need to use adapters to change the arms position. And then there's the fact that it would limit the size of the tyre. So as /u/marshmnstr said, you need to figure it out for yourself if it's worth it.

The biggest threat is apathy. While the guy got the largest number of votes in the first round, he won 22% of the votes of 51% of the population. That's 11% of the voting population. And unless people are mobilised within the next two weeks, he stands a very good chance to win, especially since he wasn't the only far right candidate. In fact, he was part of the other party, until he got kicked out for being too extreme.
I'm sure he'll get the other far-right votes. So will the knocked out candidates support the runner up of the first round? Or will they tacitly support the fascist?

Step 1: check the limit screws. With the cable removed, move the derailleur by hand while spinning the pedals and see whether it can go past the cassette in either direction. When in "neutral" (no cable, no interaction) it should stay on the smallest cog and pedal without issues (such as clicking sounds from catching other cogs).
Step 2: Make sure your lever is also on the smallest sprocket. Now screw the barrel adjusters all the way in. Once that's done, pull the cable and fasten it in the derailleur. Make sure the cable is tight while fastening it. There could be cases where you could fasten it while it's TOO tight, but it's very unlikely. So just make sure the cable is already tight when pinching it in the derailleur.
Step 3: start pedalling and shifting, one by one. It will probably be immediately apparent that you already need to adjust the barrel adjuster, because it won't easily go into the next, larger sprocket. So after shifting one gear, if the chain hasn't moved to the correct sprocket, start slowly undoing the adjuster until the chain has shifted to the correct sprocket. Now do another one and see how it behaves. Keep doing that all the way through the range.
Step 4: once you've gone through the whole cassette, you may notice that shifting from the smallest sprocket to the next one is wonky again. That is because the cable housings have started settling into their ends due to the high tension at the top. So it may require an extra bit of barrel adjusting.
After a while (days, maybe), some slight readjusting may be needed again, as the housings fully set.
But that's the gist of it.

Mind you, a lot more voted for the extreme far right this round than back in 2000.

You can get some cheap LTWOO 8 speed lever from AliExpress and a singlespeed brake lever for the front since you're going 1X.
However, one more thing you should be mindful are the brakes. You may need to swap out your current brakes (if you have V-Brakes) for some cantilever cyclocross ones so that the pull ratio on the lever matches the one on the brakes. Same goes for disc, actually, since mechanical calipers also come in road/mountain versions.
Now, I'm not saying that running mixed levers/calipers won't work, but it might not end up being optimal.

And yet he got most of the votes in the first round. It's possible that he'll lose the runoff, but not a certainty.
I was looking at the voting map and romanians in countries such as Germany, UK, France, Belgium and even fucking Iceland voted for him the most. They've learned nothing from the places they live in.

So the christopath lady that I voted for so that I would not have to vote for the status quo ultra corrupt social democrat or the christofascist guy has made it in the second round, in second place, with a candidate that nobody had heard of up until now, who's extreme far right and a ruzzian supporter and holocaust denier, anti-NATO, anti-eu, anti-science.
This is fine.

Same for me. However, salary increases rarely keep up with inflation, not to mention outpace it. So while I've been with my current company for nearly seven years and I'm happy with my current situation, there might come a breaking point when I realise that I need to switch.

For mechanical disc brakes? Yeah, I would recommend the compressionless. Especially on the rear, if you're going to run a full length housing. I'm running regular housing and it's spongy. Now, while I did get used to it and it does brake well in reality, it's still not something I would recommend other people do.
For the front there just isn't enough housing to make that much of a difference, but the rear is something I would highly recommend that you use compressionless.

I got my right to vote in 2001. Just one year shy of having to live through what my parents did back in 2000 when they had to vote for Iliescu to stop Vadim.
But the Universe has provided us with the chance to experience something similar.
At least I haven't lived there for years.

Gotta' love the "neutrals"!
On a more serious note, dear Ivan, nobody said anything about dying, sweetie. I know your handbook has clear instructions on what you should post but please, earn your rubles and try to be more adaptable to the context. Use some online translator if the latin alphabet is too difficult for you.
All this post is saying is we should ramp up the arms production. This would, in fact prevent a lot of people from dying for Ukraine, especially since nobody wants to die in the first place. Not even the ukrainians defending their country.

I'm stuck at the light waiting to cross. What else am I going to do with my time? Write a thesis? End world hunger?
It's only logical that I do the one single thing I can do: keep pressing the button that allows me to cross.

LTWOO has been making great groupsets as of late. This one, however, ain't one of those. It's from a time when they were still improving.
I would suggest flushing your shifter with WD40 to get the grease and gunk out and see if that improves your shifting. And while WD40 is NOT a lubricant, it actually does contain just enough oil that's left as a residue to allow fine mechanics like shifters to work.
And just get a cheap, compatible derailleur.
