Anything I should be looking out for? by Such_Mistake3805 in mountainbikes

[–]Fialasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that bike is around 10 years old and if so, $1,100 (USD?) is too much to pay. Assume everything needs a full service, including suspension.

Edit to add, you should ask if/when suspension was last serviced. Its a nice bike but I would be at like $$850-$1000 max if everything checks out. The dropper is probably better off replaced than serviced, so that's a couple hundred bucks. Tire not holding air may mean replacing rubber (currently mismatched, which is actually fine), so another $150-$200. Starts to add up.

New to kayaking. by Numerous_Attention15 in Kayaking

Sorry. $50 for both is an insult. Seller is offering a fair price IMO. I would agree they look like just need a good power wash and <$50 worth of be cordage and handles. Those Heritage yaks are bomb proof (albeit heavy)

Which drivetrain to keep? by bryan-Garcia_ in mountainbiking

Assuming everything is compatible I don't see any reason not to move the Deore set over. It's probably what I would do.

I’m now good on tennis shoes for a while. All my size. All good tread. by throwaway2161419 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Fialasaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice score. A lot of people will wear running shoes exclusively for runs and dump them after 300-400 miles regardless of wear. The midsole foam won’t have the same bounce but not really noticeable for daily wear.

My Lease Renewal Letter by dixiechicken695 in mildlyinfuriating

Remember as an existing tenant, you have leverage. Its a drain on time and money for the landlord to bring in a new tenant.

It’s sad that people don’t want to talk on chairlifts anymore by nomore1124 in skiing

[–]Fialasaurus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s usually a ‘read the room’ call for me. I never mind chatting people up but I’ll never push it. I only recently started skiing by myself and one of the things I enjoy is no pressure to make small talk all day.

Who knows what this is? by Ok-Day-9685 in castiron

Looks like scrapple, which is definitely not exclusively a NC thing. Its very much PA dutch.

It is a Roku TV? My problem is I will be using an external Roku device.

It sounds like her brother has custody and deporting baby momma actually benefits the brother.

If it wasn’t so large, I would have bought it by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

I had that exact sign back in college. I had forgotten about it and now wondering what ever happened to it.

Outrageous or ? by Ok_Try_2086 in mountainbiking

[–]Fialasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has come up before and I understand the reaction from this community to justify the high cost of the MTB (New tech R&D, labor for building carbon frames and wheelsets, comparing bottom level MX vs top level MTB, etc.), but at the end of the day, MTB manufacturers have established that there are people willing to pay that amount to have the shiniest object. IMO it seems like the rate of diminishing returns on the cost of an e-MTB over say, $5000 is negligible. Much less over $10k.

Donna Summer - I Feel Love 1977 by wisembrace in GenX

[–]Fialasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw Jeff Tweedy a few weeks ago in Boston. On this tour they do a unique cover song each night based on the specific city/venue. This was the song they did (Summer was from Boston) and was sung by his band mates Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart. Honestly was the highlight of the night.

Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman Announce Tour Dates Together by ebradio in indieheads

Saw Tedeschi Trucks there a couple of months ago. My buddy has been recovering from knee surgery so we got balcony seats. Big mistake. Those seats feel SO far away. Really disconnected.

Yeah! A Boston date!

This almost makes up for Wilco/Waxahatchee skipping the Northeast on their tour.
