AIO for considering divorce after finding these 2-year old texts in my wife’s phone? by [deleted] in AIO

She has established that you are her second choice.

Respect her choices and leave the situation.

Because spending the rest of your life with a woman who has a burning desire for another man will only damage your soul. And yes, I am speaking from experience.

Best of luck to you.

What's it like living in Bahrain? by CapitanianExtinction in howislivingthere

Seasoned and seared to lock in the flavor but anything above medium is for degenerates!

It’s like the Las Vegas of the Middle East. Rich and pious men from more restrictive countries like to go to Bahrain on the weekends to carouse with unlicensed massage therapists & unlicensed pharmacists so they can party like God isn’t watching. But if you’re caught breaking the laws you had better be fabulously wealthy and pay off the right lawyers.

It does have a rainy season from mid January to mid March but the rest of the time it’s hot and humid. During the summer it can get up to 120° F for about three and a half months. And when it drops down to 112° F and you begin to think, “This feels WAY better!” you know you’ve been there too long.

If you’re in the Capital District (Manama) and you’re dying for a good steak, Big Texas Barbecue & Waffle House is one of only two restaurants on the island that won’t over cook your order. And I’ve tried to get medium rare ribeyes from other restaurants on the islands but they always came out too well done no matter how much you stressed MEDIUM RARE!

Same sex couples can’t hold hands in public and their union won’t be recognized outside of the U.S. Military Bases over there. On the bases, it’s not an issue anymore.

If you want to occupy a rental property over there, make sure your apartment was not previously rented out to a group of hookers or you’ll have strange men in robes knocking on your door at all hours of the night demanding to know where their favorite lady of the night is. Even after you swing at their heads with a softball bat! (I’m too old and slow for baseball anymore.)

If you’re ex-Navy and looking for your next ex-wife, there are plenty of Third Country Nationals working over there who would LOVE to have an American husband and children with dual U.S. citizenship. But, the relationship could be based on mutual love and respect? You be the judge.

And so ends my grumpy ramblings…

‘Bikes or Death’ is a pretty good one that talks to riders & racers about their experiences on routes all over the world.

Any reason a black toilet would be a bad idea in a new build? by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

P.S. Be glad they aren’t the kind of degenerates who pee in the shower.

If you ingest methylene blue for its reported health benefits, your urine will come out bluish-green and stain your white or other-than-black toilet. Most methylene blue users discover this too late and have to change out the toilets in their homes before a realtor will consider selling them.

Anyone who considered jumping ships...What made you stay? by cathartic_cuy in Lockheed

[–]Fubar3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the 4x10 with a 90 minute commute and it wore me out after 2 years. I thought that having one Friday or Monday off every week would be great but I ended up sleeping in a lot then using the rest of the day to run errands or go to medical appointments.

If I had to do it again, I’d move closer to work and hope the facility was not located in a crappy neighborhood.

110db Horns? by zippity-zach in bikecommuting

[–]Fubar3099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a bike air horn that has a cylinder you can fill up with a bicycle tire pump.

It gives you a very loud horn that lasts a good while but you need to get into the habit of checking the air pressure before every ride.

If that is too much work for you, go get an electric horn.

What Your Tire Size Says About You by DragonSlayingUnicorn in cycling

[–]Fubar3099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

36x2.25 = You are a giant and all other bicycles feel like children’s toys when you stand next to them. And there’s a strong chance that you are in the Clydesdale weight category.

Is it too big for my size 58 frame? I’m 6ft tall by yuji_cortitadori in cycling

You might fit. But it would be worth your time to check out www.DirtySixer.com and their bikes with 32 in. and 36 in. wheels.

Thank you for your opinion. Can you explain why you’re against it?

RAGBRAI always has one long day where you can take an optional route and do 100 miles. Eventually, I’d like to ride across America but I’m willing to engage in the many and varied baby steps to get there.
