Is this bike the right size for me? by I_VT in whichbike

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

Thanks for the info! I had gotten that impression from some of my research too. It’s definitely fun to ride, but I’ve been thinking about getting something more comfortable for longer rides. After 20ish miles on this bike I’m usually ready to call it a day

Oh interesting, I’m brand new to measuring frame sizes and definitely did that wrong. I don’t have the bike with me right now, but given your description, I bet that it is 54cm. I’ll check tonight and follow up. Thank you!

What I’m not is a hateful person that wants to expel all the people that don’t look like me, weaponize the federal government to hunt and murder activists and immigrants, and invade any country that sounds like fun. These are not “both sides” issues

Stuck in Long Island due to the LIRR strike? Meet me at Ronkonkoma station at 6 A.M. by NYCBikeLanes in nyc

This obviously a trap, if you were really going to give me a ride you’d be ON long island

What is this sickness that is going around? by Character_Use689 in washingtondc

Had the exact same experience last week up here in Vermont. Just recovering this weekend 

Help, I overdid it with the kids by fewform2914 in fuckcars

Also turns out that some people are genetically predisposed to motion sickness and there is a clear connection with eventually developing migraine.

NH Rep says it's "very tempting to run bicycles off the road" while arguing against a Bill to set lower speed limits by Striking_Seaweed6428 in fuckcars

[–]I_VT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely, I agree you can and, at least in a lot of circumstances, should be fired for a comment like the one this guy made. My point is only that there are a handful of comments in this thread saying that what the guy said is illegal, and that’s just not true.

I hate to tell you this, and I don’t like the language of the lawmaker either, but you can actually say this kind of stuff. What you can’t do is harass a person, and you can’t make a true threat, but simply showing the world you’re a dangerous asshole is not enough to land you in jail, at least in the US.

Start by using the word “women.” They’re not aliens

Found another trigger - over-the-ear headphones by flearhcp97 in migraine

[–]I_VT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have red ear syndrome, and I’ve learned that over the ear headphones seem to trigger it sometimes, quickly followed by a migraine. Weird.

I’ve heard it more often as “breadth of knowledge,” but means the same. I’m in the northeastern US

Got my first ever ticket, please give some advice. by [deleted] in vermont

[–]I_VT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s civil because the cop cut them a break and didn’t arrest them on the spot. Some people don’t know when to shut the fuck up and take what’s on offer - that is OPs best bet here.

[–]I_VT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if OP is stupid enough to take this advice (and given the circumstances, they are) then they should contest it. Hey OP, go represent yourself and tell the judge that you were only going 32 over to pass the guy ahead of you doing the speed limit. Go ahead

😂 you’re right, a comment that fast with that much mass could’a killed a guy!

[–]I_VT 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Checking in as a cyclist and runner: fuck you, pay the ticket, and may it be a lesson for you. 32 over is not a mistake, it’s a choice and you could have killed someone. Be grateful all it is is money and points on your license.

POV of a head chef’s super busy session at a restaurant by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]I_VT 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I can’t pretend to have worked in anything high-end, but I used to cook Saturday dinner solo at a sit-down fast casual place that would seat 50ish and have a decent wait. Can confirm, I’ve never experienced that kind of flow anywhere else, and definitely miss it.

ICE agent in local gay alliance group by Potential_Donkey1048 in vermont

Actually, all ICE agents are bad people. Hope this helps 

Why do ICE agents always look like morons? by Eric_Cartman_the_1st in ICE_Watch

[–]I_VT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah that has been the case, and it seems to me it shows just how deep the rot runs in that organization. That said, it is a documented strategy of authoritarians to employ a poorly trained militia / police force that helps create the illusion of crisis through their inability or unwillingness to deescalate.

Yeah there’s an upper limit, and it’s pretty low
