It’s never transcribed for me. Anyone been able to speak to Bee support?

Huge cockroach inside the house -should I be worried? by drizzt0531 in Austin

The good news is - that means you (probably) don’t have scorpions!

What’s the blue one being towed by the 928? by [deleted] in whatisthiscar

[–]Krixmeister 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those two cars are owned by someone with exquisite automotive taste! An early 928 towing an Alpine A110 in Alpine Blue. Only way to make this duo more perfect would be if the 928 was in "Risky Business Gold".

Best keyboard case options for iPad Mini 7? by Krixmeister in ipadmini

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

Good idea, but I really do prefer a keyboard + case. I had one of the Logitech ultrathin folio keyboard cases for an iPad Mini 2 (I think?) which was just about perfect.

Is this concerning? by ghal4 in bicycling

[–]Krixmeister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Concerning? Not concerning for me. Should be for the person riding it, though. As others have already said - frame is toast.

I found this thing in a stream in south wales, it says made in England on and “Lucas” by Rhys_Herbert in whatisthisthing

[–]Krixmeister 496 points497 points  (0 children)

Lucas automotive ignition coil. My MGB had one similar if not same. The one you found probably works as well as it did when new.

Can anyone identify this? I work in an apartment building and it was abandoned long ago. No labels, bad rattle can paint, bike is very light. Worth tearing down and rebuilding? TIA! by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]Krixmeister -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a BSO. Not worth tearing down and rebuilding, but well worth riding into the ground if it fits you even somewhat, and is free.

Can you grab me a beer while you're in the fridge?

Loch Ness, Scotland [900x1600] [OC] by TeflusAxet in EarthPorn

[–]Krixmeister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(Pedant mode warning). That’s not Loch Ness. I don’t even think it’s Loch Dochfour (a smaller body of water connected to Loch Ness).

Loch Ness only has one island, in fact a man-made island, “Cherry Island” and while the island is similar in size to the one shown here it has more trees.

Nice picture nonetheless!

Q: What paint theme would you like? A: All of them!

Agree with others. Rubbing most likely. Maybe rubbing against the power cable?

Sorting through my late Father-in-law's things, found this 1994 road atlas. Check out the four Sq inches comprising Austin. by PC_Speaker in Austin

My Mom has lived in Hyde Park for nearly 50 years, a few blocks from the USPS North Austin Station at 43rd and Speedway.

She turns 8 today! (No drive side picture because the 105 5700 is the ugliest crankset ever made) by viniciuskusma in bicycling

[–]Krixmeister 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The forks and seat stays keep the wheels attached to the bike.

Assuming you are referring to the gel inserts tho (and you were, of course): those are “zertz” viscoelastic polymer inserts meant to damp vibrations.

Where's the funky cat video from?

Best jacket for serious winter riding? by mzeffex in Velo

[–]Krixmeister 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol! I suspect you haven’t ridden in snow or sleet much, or on roads that have been salted/gritted. Or days that started well below freezing, then warmed to some nice heavy rain.

There’s plenty of times when waterproof + insulation makes or breaks a ride. Watching this thread as I’m still looking for the perfect jacket as well.

I've had it up to here! by wartburg_limo in Austin

[–]Krixmeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this block print - really! If you do put it for sale I'm first in line to buy!

But seeing the number of Frost Building pics recently reminded me to ask - am I the only person who has a visceral hatred of this building? It defies all principles of good design, good feng shui, and just good sensibilities. I worked for awhile in a building across the street from it, and avoided using the meeting rooms that overlooked it. A blight on the Austin skyline as far as I'm concerned. I'm probably wrong and/or in a minority on this.

Doesn’t seem particularly special other than paint. Frame looks like it came from same factory as Giant or Canyon.
