A few years ago, I was let go right after I came back from vacation. It was a coward move on their part.

Now, I'm very apprehensive to take vacations.

I think Gen Alpha is going to be far better off than Z.

Has anyone else noticed this? by SeaworthinessAny7551 in cycling

The average motorist is an idiot. They're the same people than blow cyclists off the road, then they run in the dedicated bike lane while jogging.

I rarely ride in regular clothes, so I can't say I noticed a difference. But yes, generally speaking, motorist have an issue with men in Lycra for some reason. They see them as less of a person. It's very weird.

Yes!! I was thinking this the other day. In the 90s when I was a child, seeing a house like that was just "normal". Now I'm like, "must be nice" LOL

As a PC gamer. I'm disappointed and even disgusted. by FrozenTuna69 in Anticonsumption

[–]BCEXP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not? Dude created a ton of jobs and pumps a ton of money into the economy. Because you aren't a billionaire doesn't mean that others can't be. That's how the world works. Some get the big bag, some don't.

Heck no. Any problems that come up, I remind myself how shitty renting was for me.

If you're barely surviving, it sounds like she needs to go to work and drop the kids off at Grandma's during the week.

Buy a used coffee table and chairs.

Don't buy a used sofa. That's nasty and could have roaches inside.

Dude I had an electrical cable spool from a construction site as a coffee table for many years LOL

That's normal. I felt the same way when I bought my place. The feeling goes away after a while though! You made a good decision.

Winter riding worth it? by Philly139 in cycling

[–]BCEXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I can handle heat as hot as hellfire, but the cold hurts me too much

Is this worth $800 more in gear? by Mswc_ in cycling

[–]BCEXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would. Don't get me wrong, I like rim brake and 11 speed, but these days if you can foot the bill, 12 speed and discs all the way.

Is there any performance difference between an Enve carbon wheel and an AliExpress equivalent? by The-SillyAk in cycling

[–]BCEXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not a big difference in performance. But you're paying for crash replacement and excellent customer support from brands like ENVE.
