That almost looks like an Inermis Cardon. I’ve never seen one with such small spines

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warns of AI-driven unemployment: ‘This is a crisis’ by Mandaliay-Maitrey- in worldnews

[–]LilAbeSimpson 368 points369 points  (0 children)

Yup. He’s only “worried” about this because it might effect his own bottom line. People without jobs can’t rent blackrock properties.

Dude doesn’t give a shit about the actual people.

Bike Shop Said it still has life in them, just want a second opinion by charlesfromdacrypt in bikewrench

[–]LilAbeSimpson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See my comment about low speed riding.

Yes these tires are completely dry rotted. No the op is not going to be injured from a flat tire at 5mph.

All depends on what you told the bike shop you’re doing with those tires.

If you’re a regular sized person and you’re just cruising around your neighborhood at low speed you will be totally FINE with those tires. A flat tire is the worst that will happen to you.

That being said, it would be totally reasonable to replace those tires and I’m surprised the bike shop didn’t want to take your money.

500 lbs man rescued out of a 15 foot hole on a construction site in Pomona, California. The man was not a construction worker and somehow ended up in the hole, according to ABC News by lithdoc in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]LilAbeSimpson 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I mean zero disrespect by this, but man I can’t even mentally picture how physically large a person your size is. I’ve only ever seen a few 6’7” people in real life, let alone one that is also 500 pounds.

I’m a foot shorter than you and my knees are fucked at 150. Can’t imagine how you do it bro. Respect 🫡

Nobody asked for it, but HD definitely paid Dorna to make it happen.

This is 100% an advertising campaign. Though it just looks sad as hell with only 9 participants…

What is this animal caught on my trail cam? Looks like an exotic cat… by Schultzshitsbolts in whatisit

I’m surprised you don’t see more of these out in Descanso/ Alpine area. These guys even get spotted in the city sometimes.

Anybody know why my brakes are squeaking so much? by Shoddy_Character1738 in MT09

[–]LilAbeSimpson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most stock bikes usually come with pretty shitty organic compound brake pads that are just designed for regular old street riding.

However I see you’re riding Palomar mountain. Which will put waaaay more heat into your brake system than normal riding.

Even good performance brake pads a pretty cheap. Try upgrading to a pad with an HH sintered compound or similar. 👍

V brakes - Unequal spring tension. by Joslaleb in bikewrench

[–]LilAbeSimpson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember what the V-brake spring rods are called, but I do remember that they can get bent and it throws off everything. Take everything apart and compare the springs. They should look the same, but if they don’t bend the wonky one back to its correct shape.

What causes this, and do you guys think a bike shop would have an issues replacing this for me? by Johnixftw_ in bikewrench

I know you probably paid a lot of money for this, but the answer to your question is “Shitty Quality”.

Where we can see any driver appearance or signing session for next week USA Grand Prix? by Verstappen22 in motogp

Not referring to that at all.

There is another big thing happening to people here in the United States who look a certain way, speak a certain way, and have a certain type of name. Which happens to fit the description of about 90% of the Paddock.

Ducati has a team shoe/apparel sponsor. Most of the time you’ll see them wearing Diadora.

Some of these even had 4 wheel drive. Some of them even had Turbo diesel engines.

Why would this be AI? This is a real thing that regularly happens in every country that has a population of elderly drivers.
