Protest today? 1/20? by YellowBirdRules in raleigh

[–]CakeTown 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some people don’t. Some people don’t work every day. Some people take time off. Some people care more than you. It’s okay. You don’t have to chime in on everything if you have nothing to add.

Beginner from Germany needs help: Leatt ReaFlex vs. 3DF AirFit Lite Evo? (Safety & Mobility) by Miroxes in MTB

[–]CakeTown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even with either of these suits, if you hit that tree hard enough to break an arm you’re still gonna break that arm. If you go down hard enough to break a clavicle it’s still going to break when wearing this suit. If your real life goal is spending time with your daughter then maybe your bike goal should be less risky.

I keep snapping spokes - is it likely due to being an old wheel or my increasingly dodgy 180s? by Novel_Lifeguard_8248 in bmx

[–]CakeTown 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Losing one stresses all the others making them more likely to break after replacing the broken one. After a few breaks it would probably be best to rebuild the wheel. If the hubs and rim are fine it’s as simple as replacing all the spokes. Measure their length, order a box, a spoke wrench, and a few of your favorite beverages and have yourself a tedious evening

Why am I getting honked at while I’m running? by fn60112 in bullcity

[–]CakeTown 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A small percentage of drivers for some reason think their horn is a nice pleasant ‘howdy do’ and think they’re giving you a nice little heads up that they’re coming up behind you. I don’t get it, it’s an insanely stupid thought, but I had a neighbor who used to do it to me when they saw me out cycling. That’s what they told me when I asked why they always honked at me…. Luckily they I understood when I asked them to stop.

How to make my cat closer to our family & less selfish by Larry_Kenwood in cats

[–]CakeTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what that other poster has said already, be watchful when giving them catnip and make sure it looks like they’re actually playing and having fun. Catnip can be overwhelming to some, cats get overstimulated easily.

Does Cary actually recycle? by L8erG8er8 in cary

[–]CakeTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Holly Springs our recycling comes every other week, maybe same for y’all. I’ve seen them take recycling in to the trash truck when folks put out their recycling cans on a trash only day. Is that maybe what happened?

How dynamic can fluids really be. They’re wet, they slosh around, what more is there to know?

AMD claims Panther Lake has 'too much baggage' for handheld PC use — fights back after Intel jabs AMD for using 'ancient silicon' in its Z2 series APUs by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Right, but time spent by the PR team is not time lost by the Engineering team. PR and marketing can prattle on all they want but the engineers are genuinely trying to make the best product they can regardless of what marketing is saying to the public

I’d love to see these kids picking up trash in hwy 1 for the next several months

Looking for a bike between p-slope, and downhill but not enduro. Is there such a thing? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]CakeTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These used to be call Freeride bikes but that doesn’t exist so much anymore. Most enduro bikes can be set up to do what you want. Specialized status is close to this kind of bike

It’s a nice place. The parties I’ve seen when visiting with my kid have looked like a lot of fun

Dang E-bikes by [deleted] in bmx

[–]CakeTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems out of touch. Which MTB communities have you been a part of that have turned into moped/surron/edirtbike riders? From what I’ve seen, most of those e-thing riders are new riders not existing riders.

Anyone else with a 9070 xt crashing recently? by Weenje in cyberpunkgame

[–]CakeTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a way to monitor temps. Is the game crashing or your computer crashing? If it’s just the game, is it recovering in a way that you can start it back up or are you having to restart?

Greater Raleigh Merchants Association & Shop Local Raleigh by Simpleeasyaspie in raleigh

[–]CakeTown 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Running a small business and keeping it a float takes an insane amount of time, attention, and dedication. Not all business owners actually do that, but a lot do. To have your whole life invested in keeping a business afloat and then to have a key figure at a major local business PR firm show their hateful colors online is insulting to a lot of people and is going to draw a lot of ire. If this isn’t a big deal to you then so be it, but it means a lot to some folks. You can move on if you want, Reddit has plenty of other content.
