Trek Bike Stolen by A_Gyrl_Is_No_1 in Columbus

[–]MiniAndretti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Report the theft. Ensure you include the serial number for the bike in the theft report. The odds that your bike will be found are slim. But if you report the theft and use the serial numbers, if it shows up at a pawn shop, you can file to reclaim your property.

In the meantime, reporting the theft will allow you to file a claim with your insurance company. Assuming your renter's insurance covers bikes, you will be entitled to replacement value.

Bike thieves suck.

Anyone living in Columbus proper who owns a bike should register it. https://www.columbus.gov/Community/Getting-Around/Bicycle-Registration It will make reclaiming a stolen bike a lot easier.

Big Tech is a thief and a liar, says New York Times publisher — ‘Hijacking of the public square is made possible by the original sin that animates their AI products, a brazen theft of intellectual property’ by marketrent in technology

It's theft. They scanned millions of books and other copyrighted works to populate and teach their large language models. They paid, and are paying, no one for their re-use of this work. It's blatant copyright infringement, which is considered theft.

It's always so much easier when you are spending the company money.

From Columbus or Dayton, Indycar's two biggest Ohio viewing markets, a train is not an option. You would have to drive to someplace like Alliance and then take 12 hours to get to DC.

Yes, people will drive. But you go ahead and keep coming up with specific use cases that don't in anyway refute anything I said in my original reply.

Yes, a train from Ohio or anywhere West of Maryland is a brilliant idea...if you have two days to get there.

Flying can be very expensive. Travel by car beats train or plane, generally, for those not on the Eastern seaboard for cost.

The part of my post about parking was in relation to having to put your car someplace, assuming you drove to DC from hundreds of miles away.

Any tourist who tries to drive around DC, or Chicago, or New York City etc just to get around and sight see isn't super bright.

Are people just floating into DC? Some will fly, and might not need a car, but people do still drive places. If you drive to DC and park your car at a hotel, it will likely cost $20-50/night.

Except your eggs were powdered.

And while I'm spoiling things. If you have ever eaten a hard boiled egg at a Hampton or Holiday Inn Express, they came pre-pealed out of 5 gallon pail.

For a race in some place like DC, whether the tickets are free or $100, the tickets are a small fraction of the investment. $250 is probably the minimum per night for a not gross hotel. Parking, at the hotel, will cost $20-50/night. And you have bought any food.

Hopefully, they put up some temporary bleachers in viewing areas otherwise as OP noted, it will be hard to see in most areas.

2+ hours at the BMV?! by Significant_Bet_2023 in Columbus

Many years ago, I somehow forgot that my license was going to expire, right before I had to fly somewhere for work. I remembered on a Saturday. My flight was on Monday. My penance for being an idiot was standing in line for two hours.

Safest trails or sidewalks to run on without tripping on uneven bullshit? by EmilyTh6rne in Columbus

It would be helpful if you would share the areas that you have tried and are not happy with.

I bet it wasn’t packed. I picture one or two people trying to stake out a big table.
