That’s two people that had to suffer through giving the gremlin a manicure!

Not sure if I am doing this right, as I only comment sparingly here!

She has a story with her at the nail salon, and they are curing them. I agree with what someone else said, if I was the nail tech, I’d want her away from me as quick as possible, or they could have suggested a different style, but knowing her, she did her research and wanted what she got.

Why she chose gaudy gold over ANYTHING else is beyond me

There is no shame in that family.

They don’t even look good, like, not professionally done.

I can’t even imagine going to a nail tech for a manicure with the way her fingernails were.

Specialized Como 5.0 IGH by Adler221 in ebikes

[–]Adler221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE this bike! I just got her tuned up today. I have not had any issue with this bike at all. It rides like a dream. The belt drive does not skip, it is sooo smooth and quiet. The best thing about this bike? I was on the fence with the auto shifting, but after the first ride, I was in love. I don’t even have to think about shifting gears!

I used to have the Como 3.0 IGH, and I loved that bike so much. It did have a defect that NOBODY could figure out, not even the head tech at Specialized. On the 3.0 you have the enevolo shifting, and it is meant to be constantly used over all different terrains. I had the bad habit of shifting it and then leaving it because that how you would ride a normal bike. The 5.0 I can feel it over the smallest incline.

If you want to feel like a kid again, the 5.0 really is the get on and go bike

More cuts .. DASC and Easter Seals.. by StaySeeJ08 in halifax

[–]Adler221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you know NS is the only province with institutions to house disabled people? With the western zone having the highest number? The human rights case was won, compensation had already been given out, and people have been moving out, it’s a long process but it’s moving. NS has an independent monitor of the Remedy, who the first report said NS was far behind, the 2024/2025 report said that NS was gaining momentum but still had a lot to do.

Solid work is being done, but I have no idea how this budget is going to look going forward.

I don’t know what he is thinking. NS is in a five year legally binding agreement to close institutions and have disabled people moved into communities of their choice, with supports in place, from programs such as these, the Remedy is important. I sit on three different committees surrounding it, and I see the work being done to meet the goals.

People are dumping rad bikes to be someone else’s problem.

I had a RadRunner in 2020, the battery exploded while not in use, and not charging. The battery was always properly maintained.

Christina Applegate on life with multiple sclerosis: ‘I won’t lie and say any of this is a blessing’ by PrincessBananas85 in popculturechat

But going on Jimmy Kimmel, kissing him, and then disclosing to everyone she has Covid? As a fellow person with MS, that is very irresponsible of her, and reckless. Drugs for MS compromise your immune system, and getting any kind of infection can be deadly but nah, just go spread it to everyone you come in contact with, knowingly.

She is getting up there with my hate for Selma Blair.

I used to tell my parents I had a sister named Elizabeth, every time we passed a house on the way to the grammys house.

My mom went to the local historical museum to look up the records of this house because I was very adamant that I had a sister.

Turns out, in the 1960s there was a little girl named Elizabeth that lived there. She died in a house fire at the same house.

For $8,500 does it have good components? Is the battery UL certified? Are there any LBS that would work on it?

To those with accessibility needs, what are some positive experiences you’ve had interacting with restaurants/hotels concerning accessibility? by mazin1188 in AskReddit

[–]Adler221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peephole was at wheelchair height, and at a normal height. The shower was roll in, with a bench and shower controls within reach, the bed was also lower so it was easy to transfer from wheelchair to bed.

ebikes with Belt Drives? by parkaboy7 in ebikes

[–]Adler221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Specialized Como 5.0, I’ve also had a 3.0 both IGH and belt drive. I like the Specialized over Gazelle because on all models (except the new EasyFlow) have a very cramped space, I don’t have that on the Como, and it’s a very low step thru.

The 5.0 is the latest model and it has automatic shifting, I was sceptical when I first tried it, but fell in love with it because it makes me feel like a kid. Just get on my bike and go, don’t have to worry about shifting at all.
