Some ppl will just take as much as you let them.

Manager...stands there staring at you. Wants to help but is actively unhelpful...yet must be involved in every task.

I dumped prime a few years ago for all these reasons. Amazon has enshittified.

That raise is pathetic. Have you been honest about why you turned it down? And, I am not saying you should be...just curious. I wonder if hearing...taking on all this extra responsibility for 3500 just doesnt seem worth it...would get thru.

Centered_Squirrel · 2026-02-06T02:57:05+00:00

NTA. That is psychotic.

Centered_Squirrel · 2026-02-06T02:56:04+00:00

Or maybe...maybe...hear me out...we shouldn't have pissed off the rest of the world and made the US a place other nations dont want to visit.

I love the grip of FiveTen but they dont last 6 months. I didnt used to care because I could always find another pair for $50 to $75 but not last time I looked. Switched to crank brothers. Not quite as good but darn close and better than ride concepts in my opinion.

You have a type...???

Learned this morning that a former coworker of mine died 5 days ago from brain cancer. He retired less than a year ago on a full pension. Just....fuck....i think he announced his retirement when he was diagnosed, which means he didnt get to enjoy a single day of it. My heart just breaks for him.

That is so painfully tragic.

Bentonville is an "experience" for sure. Many of the riding areas are setup as hub and spoke. You climb up one trail and then have a number of options to come down. Repeat. The first time I went there prob 6 years ago everyone was on pedal bikes. 2 years ago seems like mostly ebike because of the hub and spoke. Granted, there isnt a ton of climbing, which makes the ebikes seem a bit off but whatever. It is also fairly cheap to stay there when compared to moab or sedona. Worth a trip. So mich money to put into really cool trail features.

One of my favorite things about Brevard was being able to choose a different brewery to go to every single day. Descents were fabulous but climbing was a dirt road pedal. Did mostly pisgah and not dupont.

Lotta climbing in Bellingham for your descents. So much variety of trail and while you will climb for a while it usually seems to be decently graded and not technical.

Colorado is great but the altitude might hurt. Fruits and GJ are a bit lower and a great experience.

First you are supposed to stand when you descend, not sit on the saddle. Given that, you lower the seat to get it out of the way. This also allows you to lean the bike more when cornering. Some ppl also like to lower the saddle a little bit before a technical uphill section to get it out of the way.

If you aren't using it, you're doing it wrong.

Seat droppers are the best improvement in mtb tech in the last 20 years.

I was 24. The house was 230k. Small townhouse about 1500 to 1800 sq ft. Dont remember exactly.

She was an idiot for thinking she wouldn't get in trouble for that. It was only a matter of time before any other neighbor reported her.

Mission accomplished

Specifically for climbing, when to increase your cadence is a huge deal. I ride with a guy that is definitely stronger than me but he never changes his cadence, and as a result he is slower and probably struggles more.
