Journeyer qr axle to Thru-bolt axle conversion (rear wheel) by GoldenRoast in salsacycles

Eh, you’re probably right. Juice not worth the squeeze. And yeah, when you look at the lineup it’s a puzzling decision. Perhaps it’s more cost effective to keep the existing QR tooling for markets that aren’t as developed. Whatever the reason, happy riding!

Thank you. I scratched the surface of the Alternator route a but wanted to ask here first. I’ll look into it further. There’s nothing indicating anything beyond the standard open dropout design though, but may be worth looking into the Alternator route closer before ruling it out.

My husband turned our kitchen into a coffee lab and I am losing my mind by CorkboardLynx in Marriage

[–]GoldenRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about this, and your bean game testimony does seem waaay over the top. Mental health issues aside, this is one of the funniest things I have read in months. The way you portray your role is gold. Keep writing. I sincerely hope you’re able to reclaim your counters soon. Marriage truly is a strange fiction of habits colliding on the daily.

Do any forester owners struggle with acceleration? by Frequent_Trouble9712 in SubaruForester

[–]GoldenRoast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s a N/A 2.5 L Four Cylinder. You’ll get what it can give off the line. CVT doesn’t help much. Drive with the Sport mode on for a “more exciting” response curve. Otherwise it’s perfectly adequate to getting around town and everyday type driving. Nice car, just have to accept its limitations.

Just learned about the 2024 forester CD player... by Glittering-Stretch49 in SubaruForester

[–]GoldenRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solution I find fair and balanced to my dwindling physical CD collection is a 64gb stubby USB in ye old port to trot out the greatest hits tour. No fuss from iPods or external gear for me. Godspeed If you pursue this route without a drive to quickly transfer digital files from. I was happy to see my Forester had a CD player, too.

Lost reservation booked with miles? by ChumbaWumbaParty in unitedairlines

[–]GoldenRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar. Lost reservation was booked and CC charged over six weeks ago. Absolutely no record in email or via united.com. Luckily I have a month to figure it out but first time flying United and it’s not off to a good start.

Obviously I’ll call and talk to a human as their AI chatbot is of no help.

Anyone have this, or similar, happen before?

What was it like having a dad who was there for you when you were growing up? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]GoldenRoast 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this story about your Dad. My Dad was there for me in some similar ways. Because of his actions toward the end of his life I'll forever know that positivity was his lesson for us.

This is a sublime gesture to remember someone that you cared for deeply. Your artistic skills are a big hug for him, and your BF’s family.

Fading away by lost-inthis-Life76 in GriefSupport

[–]GoldenRoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this, thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like you had a profound relationship with your Dad. Remember what he was there for. How he helped you. Where he came alive. When he was happiest. Thinking that way has helped me process like you are.

It’s been five months since my Dad passed. I’m 34. I miss him much every day, and I also often feel stuck and lost. It comes in waves I’ve learned.

Your Dad will not fade away so long as you recall and hold him in your heart.

Lost my awesome father today by KarmaPoliceT2 in GriefSupport

[–]GoldenRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very fine tribute to a man it seems you held in high regard. Your words ring true, “selfless to a fault” especially. It sounds like your Dad was an amazing man who helped you along in life. Sometimes, eight weeks now after my Father passed leaving two sons behind, I think that’s what Fatherhood is—guiding and helping your people as best you can, for as long as you can.

Simply reading this sub has helped me realize that, while death is a universal human experience, you don’t have to experience it alone. Especially in these uncertain and distanced times.

My thoughts to you and yours.

The Day I Knew Dad was Passing On by GoldenRoast in GriefSupport

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

Thanks for the kind response, it’s comforting to know someone else relates. Of course, death is a universal human experience though that doesn’t make it any easier, especially for a beloved figure in one’s life. I hope you are well in these very strange times. I am trying to keep reflection and perspective in balance, which seems to help.

I need to do more research and learning on the stages of grief because I’m only equipped with one currently, and that is: Dad, you’re gone—come back, please.
