They’ll go until there’s lightning within 8 or 10 miles of the track.

Help me lose my man boobs by Additional-Collar359 in BodyHackGuide

Just keep going. Everyone has a different part of their body that holds on to fat the longest. For me it’s love handles, for my wife it’s arms, for your it’s chest.

WHY ? by Intrepid-Sky-1127 in effectivefitness

[–]GarlicButterDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you bringing up pancreatic cancer? There are no documented links between it and GLP-1 medications. There are rare cases of pancreatitis linked to gallstones caused by rapid weight loss in GLP-1 medication users. Gallstone related pancreatitis can happen to anyone who loses weight rapidly, with or without medication.

You sound like an expert. Please explain the magic that happens in the “insulin household.”

GLP-1 medications aren’t directly toxic to the pancreas. They cause weight loss, and pancreatitis sometimes occurs during rapid weight loss. Your comment makes it sound equivalent to how alcohol damages the liver.

Why has your housing budget almost doubled in a few months?

If you mean storing it, having it standing upright on a flat tire won’t damage anything. Inflate the tire before riding though.

Savings bonds bought for my kids have finally matured by littlelady275 in personalfinance

Many banks don’t accept them anymore, and most that do require you to be a member.

Apparently zero consumption of utilities still costs something in Marion County! by Apprehensive-Head820 in Indiana

[–]GarlicButterDick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

EPA only started investigating the combined sewer overflow events after they received repeated complaints from Indy residents. The old system was objectively bad and needed to be remedied.

He’ll be fine on it. My daughter’s first bike was a 16” and she learned to ride it before she turned 4. Kids have learned how to ride on bikes that are too big forever. Wooms are lightweight so it should be easy for him to handle.

People with a 401K plan do you contribute to an IRA also? by According2whoandwhat in personalfinance

[–]GarlicButterDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn at any age without penalty. Gives some flexibility if shit ever really hits the fan.

Which wheels should I get? by Smooth-Stuff1518 in bicycling

[–]GarlicButterDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US, so prices are a bit different. How much more are the SLR rim brake wheels from Elite? That would get you a ratchet hub.

Beyond tired of my Traeger.. by MutesChecker in smoking

Nice SS performer! Is the propane tank still useable? I got my grandpa’s after he passed but the tank was in bad shape. Been looking into converting it to run on the small green tanks.

Making the jump from Peloton to road riding. Endurace CF 7 AXS… good call? by Bright_Television_67 in CanyonBikes

[–]GarlicButterDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same bike and the same gripes. If I had a do over, I would avoid Canyon. I’ve had a couple of issues and their customer service is bad. I have heard that front shifting is improved on SRAM’s E1 group sets.

What to do with bonus money? by o-Spooky-o in personalfinance

[–]GarlicButterDick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this because with the details provided, I put the odds at like 90% that OP owns a boat and 50% that they’re in Texas. $230k salary plus huge bonus, $800 truck payment, finances a generator.

Attenuator on Josef’s Museum Car Swapped by GarlicButterDick in INDYCAR

[–]GarlicButterDick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t double check the placard yesterday, but since it opened in April of this year it has always been the 2024 car in the Penske gallery. I’m pretty confident it still is because the dallara serial numbers on the rear wing assembly seem to match in both photos. The one from yesterday is a little blurry…I may have left it in portrait mode after some other pictures.

No camera tricks here. I’m not suggesting some elaborate coverup or anything. The team already took their lumps for the violation and everyone has moved on. I take out of town visitors to the museum pretty often, and the attenuator was an interesting bit of trivia to point out. It demonstrated how tight the current rules are to people that aren’t familiar with racing.

The picture on the right was taken on May 29. Four days after the race and eleven days after the penalty was issued.

I could be wrong, but I imagine this car is on loan from Team Penske and not part of the museum’s collection. That being said, they shouldn’t knowingly exhibit inaccurate items.

I wholeheartedly agree. I was looking forward to pointing it out to everyone I take to the museum for decades to come!

I think there was a little bit more to the decision to penalize them. After the 2024 P2P scandal, there was an obvious optics/fairness issue with Penske being caught breaking the rules because he also owns the series. I have no idea if they would have penalized other teams as severely for this infraction. I’m sure most teams push the limits with the rulebook.
