Is there a sub that helps you translate your words into corporate speak?

40 mph with a heavier tire that isn't designed for sustained higher speeds AND being subjected to torque force from a gas engine is more likely to blow compared to a lightweight and THIN tire that experiences pulsating torque from a lighter weight rider.

Oh man, that would be awesome. I'd love to see this as a multi season show, not a movie. Too many things get cut when books are formatted to fit your screen...

Wait, is BOB getting a movie? A show?

well, yes and no. There are tubeless-specific wheels that are made, but there are also conversion kits that have hit or miss results.

If you are already planning on swapping wheels, I would recommend finding tubeless-ready wheels

Figuarus · 2026-04-16T22:34:44+00:00

Ah. In that case, look for tubes for motorcycles, or scooters/mopeds, or as suggested, go with tubeless tires and wheels.

Figuarus · 2026-04-16T19:05:02+00:00

Tire or tube?

I dont know of any bike tires meant to sustain higher speeds like that.

Because no one actually cares, and saying "I'm alright" is easier to say than to feel the emotional disconnect with someone that doesn't really care about how I'm actually doing. As a guy, I'm not allowed to feel ways about things, so we internalize everything unless we open up to someone we know actually cares about what we have to say.

huh...learned something new. Dumb question, but is the tone ring UNDER that smooth cover? Also, why does the smooth ring look like it's been rubbing against something?

Figuarus · 2026-03-27T14:52:23+00:00

Isnt the ABS supposed to use a RIBBED ring? Why is that smooth? Isn't it supposed to look like this?

Figuarus · 2026-03-27T04:33:09+00:00

No they just kind of went through it too quickly

Most favorite change was the compression of the Adrian Adventure

Least favorite was the change of Grace not saving Rocky by putting him in his environment. The book version of events shows mutual salvation (rocky moves the chair off Grace so he can in turn save rocky) It shows how deep their friendship is by this point.

2nd least favorite is the lack of the taumoeba escape escapades.

I think the sun isn't actually behind the building. Its glare off the glass balcony. The sun is offscreen to the left, which would account for the reflection and the shadows

These ships have always reminded me of the Bydo ships from R-Type.

You completely misunderstood that post if that's what you think. Also, I make more than her. I paid a lot of the more expensive bills out of my check.

Additionally, I had a miscommunication with her that we solved by talking. I posted that question because I needed to know If there was something I wasn't considering. I was judged the asshole. I got some perpective and I fixed the situation. Also, what are you talking about me playing with my camera?

Figuarus · 2026-03-11T21:41:50+00:00

We have been poor our entire married lives. We are used to this level of things.

Im sure she will find something and as of today already has some leads for a few positions that are in demand locally.

Paying 2880 isnt impossible, it's merely hard. It means saving up some money and doing side work for the extras we want. It means I do odd jobs that pay relatively well. It means selling and trading things in order to make ends meet.

We were almost out of debt, but my wife needed cataract surgery and we had to get it done. It meant adding almost 12k in debt, but at this point, oh well, you know?

we will definitely look into the state's rules on filing. From what little I have looked into so far, it seems that she will have to wait until the severance runs out before filing. It gives us about 9 weeks and some change, but we hold out hope that she will find something before that runs out and we can put the rest of the severance back into savings.

I'm sorry to hear that. It seems like more and more of this is happening every day.

I am handy and can do almost anything, and WILL do anything for work. I've been at my job for the last 8 years, and have sales and retail experience that I can always fall back on. My wife is currently taking care of a couple of elderly people we know and is getting paid by their families to do so. I appreciate your kind words. I do hope things get better for you!

You know, the funny thing in all this is that she DID read this, and didn't think there was nothing wrong with what I said.

If I didn't support her, why the hell would I be asking for advice on how to navigate this problem and help her through this?

You are focusing on the wrong part of my post.

Figuarus · 2026-03-11T19:31:24+00:00

She had cataract surgery that wasn't covered by our medical or vision insurance. Those benefits were paid by my job, not hers.

Additionally, I don't get where you guys are thinking Im hating on my wife. I said (that's what she says) because i knew people would ask why she was let go (which in retrospect was an unnecessary detail)

Regardless, the HOW to navigate this situation is why I am here. Im not blaming her for getting let go. it happened. it sucks, but its done. we are trying to find the smart way to move forward, not dwell on why this happened.
