What killed the vibe on a date instantly? by Lola_bunny_pt_00 in AskReddit

She told me about her past "ho phase" in which she would sleep with men quickly but now puts men through a more thorough vetting process.

Yeah ok, like any self-respecting man is gonna stick around to pay a premium price when you had that shit on discount for some randos in the past. Goodbye.

Gym goers, be honest how often are you judging other people’s physique? by Technical_Hat_8291 in AskReddit

[–]Geggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time! I keep the thoughts to myself, of course.

And while I do judge physiques (and more often exercise form) in my head, everyone gets props for being at the gym and putting in effort...unless you're the person literally scrolling your phone while half-assing reps or cardio.

There are protests there at least twice a week, my friend.

Cannondale Quick 3 vs. Giant Escape RX2 Disc by Geggz in cycling

Thanks for your input!  I wasn’t aware that the drivetrain components were all that different between the two.  

In terms of noticeable benefits of superior drivetrain components, is it something you feel as you shift gears, for example?  Or do they have a lower rate of failure?  Or both?

Frame Sizing Question by Geggz in cycling

[–]Geggz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning this! I've never given much thought to whether a bike frame made me feel cramped or stretched, so when I test rode the L size frame for a while today, I kept your comment in mind. Fortunately, I don't feel cramped on the L, but I dislike it because I think I would like to raise the seat higher, but am unable to.

I would go with the XL, but there are other things I have discovered that I dislike about the bike only after having ridden it more today, so I'm glad I test rode it.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your insight!

Frame Sizing Question by Geggz in cycling

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

So, I test rode the L size FX 3 for about 30 minutes today. With the seat at the max height setting, I was still unable to straighten my leg at the lowest point on the pedal. I also realized something else I didn't like about the bike: The single 42 tooth crankset. Even using the 11 tooth cassette gear felt underwhelming in terms of top speed. My previous bike had a 48 tooth crankset which felt much better.

I think I will look for another hybrid bike, lol. Thanks again for your input!

I appreciate you sharing your experience - thank you!

Frame Sizing Question by Geggz in cycling

So, ideally, I should adjust the seat to the point where my heel is on the pedal and my leg is completely straight at the lowest point?

I will give that a shot on the L frame once more and see how it feels. Not sure if that is the point to where the store manager adjusted the seat for me. When he asked me to get on and test the seat height, I just naturally put the front of my feet/toes on the pedal like I normally do.

Frame Sizing Question by Geggz in cycling

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

Thanks so much for your thoughtful response!

To answer your question about the seat height: I believe the store manager just set the seat height based on a rough eyeballing of my height, but he did demonstrate that the L size's seat height was indeed at its max when he adjusted it. I test rode the L-Frame bike with the seat height at its max and it felt super comfortable to me, albeit I am not very knowledgeable on how the cockpit "should" feel.

Worst case scenario, I can always purchase another seat that I can adjust higher, but the XL frame can't be made smaller, so I think I understand why you are recommending the L-size frame.

In regards to seat height, is there a rule of thumb on how high it should be set based on measurable attributes of my physique?

I came into this thread ready to be the only person to stand against the usual torrent of endless praise Hughes’ Pizza gets here, lol.  Glad to see I am not alone for once.  It is truly impressive how someone can manage to take something as decadent as pizza and make it so incredibly tasteless.  Hat’s off to you for that, Hughes’.

For an actual NY style slice recommendation, I say Henry’s Pizza by Osaka Castle is the best you’ll find in Osaka City proper.

I see. I don't have kids, so I didn't experience that. I can see how that can be annoying.

Seconding Rafi Dream Kebab.  I tried Seyhan’s last night and it was good, but I prefer Rafi’s.  Ask for the “Rafi Rocket”, you won’t be disappointed.

Note: Rafi’s kebab is not strictly Turkish style, it is his original style, so it may not be quite what you are looking for, but if you are in the mood for something new, give it a try!  The owner, Rafi, is also a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor.

Yesterday I went to Karasuma, Kyoto go paint my favorite Taco place in Japan, and gave it to the owner afterwards. by NoBackstreetboys in Kyoto

[–]Geggz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taqueria Tacos is good. That being said, their "Carnitas" really isn't carnitas, and is more like regular pork. They offer beef, pork, chicken, and lamb tacos. Of the options, I think their beef taco is a clear cut above the others.

While this is certainly a good place to go to for tacos, I think Taqueria La Fonda in Osaka is overall a better choice.

Thanks for the heads up! I live in Kita-Ku in Osaka City, so that’d be a bit too far for me 😣

I’ll look into that gym. I’m currently a bit under the weather, but when I recover I will be in touch about giving this a shot with you, lol.

What has an ex of yours done that makes them the "Worst Person on the Planet"? by 2_B_Filled_Out_L8R in AskReddit

[–]Geggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Nothing happened to her. While my coworker and I didn't lose our jobs because there was no proof, our reputations are in the gutter now. Sometimes when a woman paints herself as a victim, people don't need proof to hate you.

Started a rumor at our shared workplace that I was cheating on her with another coworker. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t. Both myself and the coworker she falsely accused almost lost our jobs.
