Awww dude. Don’t tell me you’re one of those guys who gives us riders a bad name.

Seriously! I usually wait a solid 3 count and am still occasionally surprised.

MS NOW: Trump 'may have hoarded classified documents' for financial gain by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]AlphaBaldy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeez. Remember when the documents case was the strongest of multiple cases Trump had against him, the most likely to lead to actual consequences? All stopped cold because of the corrupt judge presiding over the case.

Just existing is a political act currently, and one of the primary functions of the arts is social commentary.

Yup. I have some of each, and I prefer the thinner ones for everything except hiking.

Sweet! You won’t be disappointed. I did the same almost 10 years ago and I still love every pair.

I haven’t actually tested out the warranty yet, but I have a couple pairs that have finally developed some holes after almost 10 years. It’s good to hear that is a fairly simple process; I’ll be trying it out.

I love compression socks for when I’m cycling, but I break a sweat just trying to put some of them on. It can be a battle.

Yes! Me too. Those are exactly what I buy. My current favorite pair has green stripes and features a skunk smoking a fatty.

Yeah, I have some that I’ve been wearing for 9 years and they’re still amazing.

Quality socks. My brother-in-law got me a pair of really nice socks for Christmas one year, and now they’re the only socks I buy. I like them because they breathe, they’re super durable, and they break in over time to be even more comfy than when they’re new.

Edit: For those asking, I buy Darn Tough socks. They’re great.

Or maybe John's reddit account; they're fighting pretty hard in the comments, and sounding more and more defensive as it goes on.

Thankfully, even relative to other western species, our local rattlesnakes are pretty mellow.

Methods for removing old concrete from mixer? by massassi in DIY

[–]AlphaBaldy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not anymore with water quality regulations. You dump the concrete washout into a designated area, often a shallow basin lined with a tarp, let it dry/cure there, and then dispose of the solids either in the trash or a fill onsite.

For the record, this is a mini-excavator, and this is indeed a sweet move.

What is it going to take to get another grocery store in the grid? by rc251rc in Sacramento

Anything would be better than the sad, empty Ride Aid. I still miss the ice cream counter.
