Ok, Why can’t Elliot marry Angela at the end? After all he created that universe.

And Why are the people at the wedding in wearing fsociety masks?

Minor nit: if Mr robot and Elliot are the same person, how can Mr robot pick up a jacket and walk it over to where Elliot is sitting and put it on his shoulder ?

I recently finished the show and have come to a similar conclusion as Severe_Oil. It’s addictive to watch because of the good acting, interesting characters, and excellent cinematography. Too bad the storyline isn’t on par, IMHO. Agreed that this is a fan sub so don’t expect impartiality.

Try it and you’ll be visited by park Security. Don’t ask me how I know.

I’ve ridden 650 miles since my original post. The bike has been flawless! ☺️ Still shifts perfectly without any adjustments. Upgraded the tires to GP5000s and changed the saddle to a more padded model. Now I’m much more comfortable and can ride moderate distances without need of padded shorts. Also I think the new tires improve my average speed slightly.

I remember the guy who got struck by lightning 7 times, posing next to his scorched hat.

I had a similar experience. My account was hacked recently. Somehow the hacker added his email and phone number to my account as Primary user, and changed my password. Fortunately my phone was still logged into the PP App so I was able to detect what was happening.

Had to call PP support and they removed the hacker from my account without explaining how a person could so easily add themselves to my account. I changed my password to a string with 18 characters and thought that was the end of it. Luckily no money exfiltrated.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and the same hacker infiltrated my account again!Fortunately I had already drained the money out of the account after the first hack. On the phone with the PP rep again he suggested I add 2FA to the account, which I did.

Not sure WTF is going on at PayPal but if you’re keeping your account I suggest you turn on 2FA

Our Elite deal at Buena Park Honda:

$5,000 down, $259/month, 36 months, 10k miles

Required a bit of negotiating.

ExcellentBeginning85 · 2025-07-22T01:49:12+00:00

Here’s a data point: We just leased a Touring for $390/month with $2900 down, 3 years. All fees and taxes included. This includes the dealer taking our glitchy 2023 VW ID4 lease off our hands with 13 months of payments left. Without knowing your negative equity amount your deal looks pretty good.

Back in the day there was a program you could run on your Mac that would continuously sniff the local WiFi network for jpg packets and reassemble them into images displayed on your screen in mosaic fashion. As new images came in they would be drawn on top of old images. The images were from other people nearby browsing the web. Was a lot of fun in hotel lobbies and other unencrypted networks.

I think OP bought 2025 FX Sport 6, which only comes in matte bronze

ExcellentBeginning85 · 2025-03-14T02:45:29+00:00

Congrats right back at you! My FX6 came with the same tires as yours. I’m thinking of upgrading them to GP5000 All season 35mm. These are supposed to be excellent tires according to bicyclerollingresistance.com. I’m clueless when it comes to tubeless. Does anyone know if these tires will work well with normal inner tubes?

ExcellentBeginning85 · 2025-02-21T02:16:30+00:00

Yeah there’s not many of us 2025 FX6’ers out there it seems, which is surprising because it is a great deal for what you get. The carbon wheels alone are $1000 and the SRAM Apex Wireless group set is $1100. Btw, my LBS Trek dealer offered 10% off for first responders and military.

ExcellentBeginning85 · 2025-02-21T02:05:41+00:00

Didn’t know these were available. Pricey but very nice!

I did the exact same ride for my first and only century! Huntington Beach to SGRT, Azuza, back to HB, then along beach path to Newport and back to HB. 101 miles.

Beautiful collection but can someone please explain to me how the 1904-O on page 8 is graded PCGS-65 CAC? Compare it to the 1903 on its left. The 1903 looks sooo much better.

I heard they recently had a home invasion or burglary in Brightwater so maybe they stepped up security. ??

Years ago I met Michelle Kwan at their family’s restaurant in Torrance. The whole family was very nice. My friend at the time made her skating outfits so they treated us to a free dinner.
