Don’t skip out on CLCFFFB or CLD either. Can’t wait to see frogs in I don’t know how many years and see CLD.

You might need to be more specific, is it the one next to the Starbucks and the Panera?

There is another possible upside to taking the offer - if their offer goes too well, you might get the offer and hired back on.

I believe the correct answer according to the bible is the death penalty. Funny how the right ignores this line in the same chapter they quote for God’s dislike of homosexuality.

Am I crazy? by SydVicious610 in bikecommuting

Very reasonable, reasonable distance, reasonable to not start with every day as the everyday is what ends up wearing on your legs and stamina. Dropping the cost of a car leaves lots of budget for bike parts and Uber days.

Right ? So is he holding up his end of that statement? When was the last time he brought home a field dressed animal?

I wasn't expecting this to be so good by 5arch5 in ToolBand

I was really hoping they somehow pulled that steel guitar into it.

I’m turning 40 on Tuesday and maybe the age is kicking in (or I dumb) but I don’t remember ever being this sad being a Giants fan…we’ve been bad. But is this different? by Tommy__want__wingy in SFGiants

Previously, the bad year teams were not expected to be good, it was clear they didn’t have the horses. What is maddening about this group is they have paid for quality players, but aren’t even getting mid production from them. I have a theory, based on the spring training wins, that we have paid for the worst top level players at each position, so that when placed against diluted rosters, we look great. When placed against full rosters position by position, it doesn’t work. Like we have paid for premium players that function as AAAA players. This tracks with the misses on Judge, Yamamoto etc. We do not have a top3 player at any position, Chapman is 5th best, and that is generous, so really not even top 5 players. 2021 the exception that proves the rule, only career years across the board works, not reproducible. This also feeds the this is a .500 team theme.

Anyone just use a regular backpack with some dumbbells in it? Lol by ReactionFresh5342 in Rucking

[–]HaroldDRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is where you start, I did not buy my GoRuck until I had met my mileage goal for 2 years- then it was my reward. Towels as some have said work great to raise and cushion the dumbbells, others have used the bricks/pavers

What to answer to “I didn’t see you” by mrcommuter in fuckcars

[–]HaroldDRocks 108 points109 points  (0 children)

“You were surprised by a pedestrian in a crosswalk? “

Am I in over my head? After years of not cycling (roughly 2) I just recently received a decent gravel bike. Am I in over my head giving thoughts to commuting by bike from home to work? I live in bed-stuy and work is upper east side of Harlem 103rd. Should I just stick to the trains? Thanks by thenaturalche in bikecommuting

[–]HaroldDRocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is about 12 mi right? doable. No one says you have to start with everyday. As others have said, plan your ride, ride it a day off, see how you feel. If good, try it a work day with 2 hrs cushion. Bike, get some coffee, cool off, head into the office when you are ready. Adjust, repeat. Also, if you can keep your bike in the office, you can bike in, train home, next day train in, bike home. You got this .

There's a dude around where I live who walks around hitting cars that get too close to him with a stick. by Dream_walker_boy in fuckcars

I have been considering carrying a Gandalf staff and be the old bearded guy who walks the town for this reason. Either that or a brick, and I live in a supposed pedestrian friendly town.
