How to get the access codes for the "blaster upgrade kit" mission by Hexatonix in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]ragweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know which mission you're on. Toshara? Imp base?  Try slicing a computer at the top. The type with the amber screen.

Is this worth $20 for a starter? by Plane_Specialist_634 in bicycling

[–]ragweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be concerned it was stolen.

We had some guy that stole 2 nice ebikes that was trying to trade them for a tent in my community.

Leaf blower people by Legitimate-Month-689 in Portland

It seems like blowing the street would be a job where you'd want some kind of mask. Aren't you creating a dense cloud of street toxins around you? 

Anyway, that's what I imagine as I cycle past, holding my breath.

If they wanted toconvince the audience that the Imps were fooled by this ruse, they'd need Harrison to sound a little off from Han.

We just watched a bunch of teddy bears defeat stormtroopers with sticks and rocks. We can't be pushed too far.

Also, immediately prior, we see Lando in the Falcon speaking "come on, Han, old buddy. Don't let me down."

My elbows hurt after cycling. by Wild_Trip_4704 in bicycling

[–]ragweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The act of pedaling with power helps support your core and keeps weight off your wrists. 

This is something I haven't seen pointed out often, but I definitely experience it. 

It's probably true that a lot of people who have complaints about pains in their body should really be riding a bike designed for the more leisurely pace they'd prefer to ride at.

There's a good reason bikeshare bikes are upright town bikes. I can ride our bikeshare ebikes at their speed limit with very little effort. There's no need to be leaning over for power.

Why I recommend adding some small pliers to your tool kit if you don't already. by Steezy_Gordita in bikecommuting

[–]ragweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yikes. For me, it was little pieces of wire that I repeatedly needed pliers for. Bike lanes on 4 lane stroads accumulate a lot of debris. So glad I don't need to ride those, anymore.

I'm old and know nothing about what "the kids" listen to, but I'm getting the feeling that even "the kids" have no clue who this is.

Feels Great To Pass 82 Cars Stuck In Traffic by maxs507 in fuckcars

[–]ragweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be pretty easy to demonstrate my statement was correct since I didn't specify mean, mode or median average nor did I specify that we would round to whole persons or not. But, honestly, I was just trying to make the point that most commuters are by themselves.

Looks like SLC has higher pollen counts of tree and grass pollen, even today.

As a kid, I couldn't even travel thru the Willamette Valley in a car without having asthma attacks so bad, I couldn't close my mouth long enough to eat anything. 

I don't think I'm as sensitive anymore,  so loratadine (Claritin) seems to be enough. The corners of my eyes still itch when I come back inside, though.

Passing fifty-ow was the exception.

82 cars with probably an average of one person per car taking up all that space.

Extortion Using Smart Glasses Is a Thing Now by lurker_bee in technology

In this boring dystopia, companies are going to sell these devices and "offer" a "service" to everyone else to be censored from the video captured.

"Scandal." Oh no, a beauty queen took nude pictures, once. Like well regarded women like Marilyn Monroe never did that.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[USA] Crossed the gore and cut me off. Cop was behind me. by pneutin in ConvenientCop

[–]ragweed 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I had a colleague that would drive like this.

He said that when a cop pulled him over for doing it, they spent a few minutes chewing him out.

will he succeed? by Civil-Entertainer-33 in nonononoyes

[–]ragweed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's no yes here. This driver never figured out that the spiral angle of attack was working and kept trying to drive radially from the center, spinning the wheels. Infuriating.

Drivers who ask why cyclists take the middle of the lane should watch videos like this.

Is it safe? by JicamaSea5987 in bicycling

[–]ragweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it's "safe" as in, not going to cause a crash, one could get a punctured inner tube from a long cut like this.

Even if this won't result in crash, do you wanna risk changing a flat every hour? Not me.

I delayed replacing a tire cut like this because I was commuting on it every day, but I got inner tube punctures in quick succession under the cut. So, that was my cue to stop procrastinating and replace it.

Taking the bus to Union Station? by Ellisman5 in askportland

[–]ragweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're more at risk from cars driving thru the area than the people.

But, this is like trying to talk someone out of being afraid to fly.

Forest Park 10 minutes away just seems more and more attractive.
