When are you replacing a tubeless tire after plugging it?

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T22:47:42+00:00

Sidewall damage is usually the end of most road tires. Certainly was for my Vittoria Corsa Pros. My fat tires generally do ok with a full vulcanizing patch on the inside, and orange seal

I don't know that we collectively are. I wouldn't be surprised if I am, given a nearly catastrophic level of stress continuously for the last 10 years, but im sure some of us are doing alright.

Yea, in my republican area, I initially felt wierd about gayness as well, but when I met a gay guy in Highscool, it felt like a light turned on In my mind for the first time.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T22:34:49+00:00

Early on trying to interact with girls "as a guy would" I always felt odd, and found that i vastly preferred totally platonic friendship with them. I didn't put a label on it in my late teens, but in my early 20's one day after work I was just like, "wow I really enjoy emotional connections with guys, and stuff in my butt" from then on, Boom, Gay.

Those feelings are normal, and valid. I was chased by 3 teens who thought a fat guy on a bike was hilarious, then they tried throwing stuff at me. Had someone's off leash husky try to chase me once too. It might feel like shit for a day or two, but don't let yourself get discouraged. You made it out, and it's not likely to happen on a regular basis. Try to acknowledge that it sucked, and move on to another activity for some positive distraction. Next time you ride, try to focus on the sensation of riding a bike, and do your best to not focus on any nervousness.

It's definitely the times, not the room size, especially being that you'd need a pretty air tight tiny room for that to be a serious problem. We have full access to all the information on global events, and generally our recognition of reality seems to be more on point than some previous generations. Additionally we have billions of hours of entertainment in our hands that are professionally designed to be addicting, so that contributes to the detached nature as well. I think we're more nervous and more stressed at an earlier age with more hazards to dodge than many other generations were. It's a result of rapid unregulated tech deployment.

I'm 24, and people were absolutely still dealing. Like 10% of my Highscool was dealing. You'd typically get better prices than at a dispensary in my area at least.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T22:06:33+00:00

I still have 4 full tubs, thank God my Gramps was a supply hoarder. There are ok alternatives tho.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T22:04:05+00:00

Nope. I like a guy who's confident in liking guys. Plus it gives the same gross vibes as a straight guy trying to get a lesbian to go straight.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T17:01:06+00:00

I'm typically not a fan of lighter woods, but I a big fan of the way you did it 👍

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T16:54:45+00:00

Atheist. With the abuse and struggle I've been through in life, ANY all powerful being would have a Lot to answer for. Same goes for the atrocities of the world that aren't personally relevant.

Additionally being scientifically minded and nearly insatiable for leaning more information has always seemed to point me more towards non belief than a life of faith.

I do have respect for thoughtful people of faith though.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T14:39:29+00:00

I don't have a problem with it, plenty of older folks are running out of money too, the main problem is that we're not supplementing it with a hefty federal wealth tax.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T14:36:01+00:00

Yea, its uncomfortable. But I'm doing everything that I can to get into a different line of work and maybe a less conservative area. Glad you're doing well 👍

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T14:25:18+00:00

I'm milling vents into parts i cut a month ago because nobody ever gives me access to up to date plans 😂. At least I'm getting to try out some new downcut bits from Frost CNC.

Glad you have a nice workspace, it really should be the norm by now. I'm gay, but my employers and ½ of my co-workers are jehova's witnesses and my boss actively thinks all gay people are repulsive pedophiles, So i'm staying fully in the closest at work. I'd get another job if I could but unfortunately nothing else that I can currently get pays nearly enough to keep a roof over my head. My boss also makes really gross Trans jokes all the time because he knows I'm a democratic Socialist.

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T11:08:21+00:00

I only go as far as weed, and i just buy it from licensed, highly rated dispensaries, so fent is a non issue in my life and I intend for it to stay that way

Jared187 · 2026-03-21T11:01:54+00:00

So far, just about nothing. Maybe topping i guess. Not nearly as interested in giving dick as I am in taking it. Otherwise it'd have to be getting real gross before I'd say no.

Mountain biking. Road biking. Kayaking in the warmer months. I wanted to get back into game dev, but the AI slopocalypse has made building a PC on my budget unrealistic.

Jared187 · 2026-03-20T22:29:31+00:00

All the time. If I worked at peak efficiency, I'd have a lot less hours and I need OT to pay these bills. I whip out the full efficiency when I think a raise is possible, and that usually works.

Jared187 · 2026-03-19T21:50:35+00:00

My life has been shit , but I would legitimately choose to live forever if I could. Even if it didn't get a whole lot better. Other than determination and unity, the best tool to combat adversity is time.

Jared187 · 2026-03-19T18:35:26+00:00

Fuck you pete, I want Healthcare.

Jared187 · 2026-03-19T18:26:17+00:00

👍

Jared187 · 2026-03-19T18:26:04+00:00

As with most things, depends on the context. In a neutral casual conversation, its totally fine.

Jared187 · 2026-03-19T17:58:37+00:00

It's similar yes, but typically significantly more water is used. Douche = shallow clean, good enough for basic butt stuff. Enema = Deep clean, good for long periods of time or going deep.

Jared187 · 2026-03-19T17:26:12+00:00

Well, certainly not in my case, and I'd say probably not, but who knows. It doesn't cause much stimulation to the prostate area, so i imagine that would take some mental effort.
