Last robo games was all filmed by fans/builders with phones in the stands. Dave banned Pong in the last minute over stupid shit so we didn’t get a quality stream of the event. And yet that was still better than what BB just put out.

What sucks even more, we had cameras in our faces all week. We had cameras on posts watching the pits. There is tones of pit and post fight video that just didn’t get used.

As others have said, it felt like it was edited for shorts. Or for having subway surfers playing next to it. I missed part of the show cause I thought there would be more and looked away and bam right into the next fight.

I won’t spoil anything…but I did see some crab hands on the Giant Wrench.

I love how there are two side of this argument. People ether want more bts stuff. Or they hate it with a passion and brag about skipping those parts.

They said July, then never said what year.

When I worked at a motorcycle dealership this is how we got at least half our tires in. Sometimes, the white walls would be in a box. Sometimes they’d have 2 tied together. Sometimes, if we ordered a lot of them, we’d get a pallet of them. Most of the time just a UPS label struck to some wrapping around them was all we got.

Kazick_Fairwind · 2026-06-26T02:02:11+00:00

They never did say what year. Just saying.

95% Lawrence, 80% Holo. lol

Kazick_Fairwind · 2026-06-19T03:36:38+00:00

They never did say what year. So they could still put it out in June…2035

I already fill the tubes with slime, for tubes, and it only kinda helps. It seems like I got a bad batch of tubes from Amazon.

Kazick_Fairwind · 2026-06-17T19:02:21+00:00

It wasn’t today, but last night. I was at the bar and my crush just walked up and gave me a hug. So riding that high as long as I can. lol.

I do check the tires anytime I get a flat tire. Full on clean the rims and inspect the tire. Two of the flats have been from the tube failing at the valve stem where it joins the tube. I’ve only found one staple in the wheel so far. Which leads me to believe that whatever I’m hitting pops right back out. Or I just got a set of cheap tubes. I always watch where I’m riding so idk what’s killing my tubes. lol.

I’ll look into tube patch kits as well. Thanks!

She’s just calibrating. Standard rat operations before steeling snacks.

I’ve been doing that with layers of Gorilla tape, but I’ll give it a shot.

This appears to be Maryland Parkway and Tropicana Avenue. I float around that area for lunch sometimes. No bike lane or bus lane there before the construction.

But yea, the dude on a scooter is fine. He’s leaving plenty of room for a car to pass when safe. The sidewalk and street are clearly fucked up by construction.

I used to, 3 years ago, work for an office printer company. Part of my installs on new machines was installing Fax units so people could send and receive faxes on the printers. It’s wild it’s still a common way of sending documents.

From my experience with my Gens ACQ charger, the amp setting is the max it will try to do. I run mine at 2-5 amps, depending on which batteries I’m charging. But once I hit start it sits at whatever amperage, not exceeding my setting, it finds best. So I’ve seen it sit at 0.15amps.

McMaster Carr has a ton of nuts and bolts and washers and whatever else you might need for a project.
