I've had the same thought. Pactimo has their best winter long tights at 50% off, but nah.
This year, when the temps started getting down into the upper 40s, I found that if I dressed so that I was comfortable for the first hour or so, I got progressively cold after that, even when going hard, and by the time I got home from a two hr ride, I was pretty unhappy. I am scared of hypothermia, which I have had in the past and is just one mechanical away in this weather, and I took it as nature's of saying, "fake miles for you, old man."

I was jst about to leave work, having completed a bunch of scRNAseq analysis, and I noticed a little distortion in my vision, just below my focal point and a bit to the left. "Is this another ocular migraine?" I asked myself. Spent the nex 5 minutes trying to see it, with little success. Just about the time I decided it wasn't, I realized that it is, indeed, an ocular migraine. So I guess I'mma stay here at work for a while. especially since it's decided to expand right into my focal point.
Should be gon ie in 20 minute or so. The first one freaked me right the f*** out, but everything I read on them says they're nothing to worry about. Just seems like a bad idea, driving at night while having one.

I’ve never heard of this, and hope I never experience this.

What happens is, the distortion grows for about 15 minutes, then disappears over the next 10. No pain, no headache, just the visual distortion.
Looks like this, only subtler.

For the whisky drinkers: I picked this up last week after seeing it at the LLS and reading favorable stuffs about it online. The favorable stuffs is right - not too shabby for ~$35 bucks. Supposedly made with cocktails in mind, but I find it more than acceptable neat, too.

Stuff in that really high-end space seems to be priced with an eventual 50% Off sale in mind, or so it seems to me. If not, well, I find it hard to imagine that there isn't something out there that'll do at least 98% as well for half as much.

2: Ignore this if you know this already, but Shimano wants the guide pulley slightly outboard of the centerline of the smallest cog. Giving it a little more room to overshift makes everything a lot happier.
Long cage derailleurs will exacerbate misalignment, for sure.
They are also are never happy backpedaling when in the largest few cogs, at least with 1x MTB systems.
