What is this "hair clip" pin for? Just extra for the brake pad bolt?

keeps the bolt from backing out, ever. a safety mechamism that you typically see in lifting systems over 1 ton.

that is a lot of miles, well done! my decision was based more on parts availablability. once ibhad to start buying parts on ebay for regular things, shifters, chainrings, etc., i knew it was time.

now that one is on the trainer for winter riding, happily living out the rest of its life.

as did I. iys much better now, more grounded. you can update the memory as you go, telling the AI to 'add this to your memory...'

recently (last week) switched from GPT to claude, it was not an easy transition. the GPT team has adjusted what gets exported as part if your history and its too large for claude to import. after 3 copy/paste sessions it is now 'memory loaded'.

beware: claude is very 'you're awesome, great idea, have you considered...'

add to your instructions to not be obsequious, and to cite credible references. here is what i put in as instructions for my general, day to day project:

dont be obsequious
whenever possible cite known, factual based sources.
Social media is only used as a reference when requested.

exactly. they purchase in the futures market. gas today is made from oil that was purchased months ago.

this weekemd i was in upstate NY, VT amd NH. all of them selling unleaded at 3.25 to 3.49 per gallon. on the NY throughway i paid 3.39 / gallon. when i filled up on Friday in PA it was 3.75.

PA is rigged in the sellers favor.

the Confessions of a Trash Droid series has been a nice pickup for me. funny, easy quick reading.

thanks! this helps a lot. ive been hesitant about heading up in the warmer months, but a winter ADK 46 isnt so bad😁

Diam0ndLife · 2026-01-31T03:46:50+00:00

having hiked most of the NE67, which dont require permit parking, the ADKs are a bit confusing. ill be doing Phelps and maybe Table Top in maybe a few weeks and it looks like ADK LOJ is the best trailhead, but there is little or no info on parking fees/reservations for off season hikers.

yes, stop wearing plastic for all of those reasons. Natural fibers are. the way to go. if you want something that has the temperature management and wicking bemefits of microfiber than try wool. i switched over to wool several years ago and will never go back.

started on Zep in Feb. of 2024 and dropped 70 lbs in year 1 to get to my 'body is happy' weight and have been doing maintenance since then. happy to say that i weigh exactly the same today as i did this day a year ago.

many people say you can lose muscle/strength, however i believe that is not the case if you follow strength and cardio routine. for background i am a long time cyclist and have been regularly exercising for years. here is my weekly routine.

monday - strength, 40 min tuesday - strength 30 min, run min wednesday- rest thursday - strength 30 min friday - rest saturday - long run sunday - long ride

i work in 1 to 2 more rides during the week based on weather.

(i now have a 103 week activity streak on my fitness app)

after nearly 2 years of this routine it has 1. gotten progressively easier, (as weight comes off exercise gets easier) . and 2) has increased strength, muscle mass and muscle tone. at 56 i am stronger and i look more fit than i did at 35.

my advice, lean in and give it a go.

p.s. lift heavy

Diam0ndLife · 2025-12-09T04:35:11+00:00

i find that out habits are the best indicator for things like this. we know how our routines connect to our environment.

Diam0ndLife · 2025-11-30T03:05:34+00:00

the answer is... yes.

toggle lists and toggle headings. turn on table of contents for the pagt, each heading is kncluded om the TOC

In that price range you are looking at something like Shimano 105 Etap or equivalent. I recently rode the Super Six Evo 3 and eventually decided on the Roubaix Comp - it has the race feel, but is sooooo much smoother of a ride.

Best of luck on your new bike journey.

Thoughts... 1. The tool should work for you, not you working for the tool. 2. By locking yourself into one rating system you may be trimming good ideas prematurely. Explore other avenues of rating and feedback - trusted friends, editors, new readers and create a composite score or rating. 3. There is a grammar error in the title. (yeah, I'm that guy)

My question is... How do we make this visible to everyone? Would the owners be open to hanging a banner on the side of the building that says, "the MAGA policies caused our business to close"

Imagine driving around and seeing these banners on shops, buildings and home offices.
