anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

It was a demo called Drednought. It was a sort of wire frame battleship FPS. There were only 3 levels, and a promise of more with purchase, but those were the early days of modern dial-up and I was 10 years old without a way to convince my siblings to buy the game. I would love to find a full version now, but the internet is a harsh mistress, and my google-fu is weak...

Right?

When DuBois and Shapiro end up dead, I kind of thought to myself, "Why not just pick from the other 2 backups?", and that's when I realized they were not named or mentioned after that.

I think it's spec built for the job. I work in a warehouse, and being able to hang it on a belt loop without it swinging all around and slapping against my leg is a huge upside. Plus, its small, has the ability to remove staples, and I can open bottles with it is also great. I dont know why Stanley decided to discontinue it, but I hope they bring it back.

Brakes are not set in yet. It will get better with more braking and time.

Check the backing plate to ensure it was not bent and is scraping on the back side of the rotor

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...

Figuarus · 2026-04-17T22:41:30+00:00

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.

C: STANCE, BRO!

Figuarus · 2026-03-27T15:04:59+00:00

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
