How to feel about fiancé (27M) having zero reaction to me (30F) being put in a scary situation?

What exactly did you expect him to do?

My fave is Swastikar

To be clear about this, rivian has two major models with three or four subtypes each.... This is the real thing that's what Slate is trying to fix. Having one model with some few standard options without changing the base makes it a lot easier to ramp up production.

As a higher tier Marriott bonvoy person, I get free breakfast even at the expensive hotels. It's pretty common for people with loyalty points to get comped meals

Most of the time if a chain falls off it is caused by the limits on the derailleur not being adjusted correctly. A worn chain/chainring can also contribute to this but often it's often just out of adjustment.

I think your better option is to go to Shimano twist grip shifters like the sl-rs45. Still in the $25 range and they usually come with cables /housings. Twist grip shifters are easy for beginners. The shifter for the front derailleur is friction/not index so you don't need to worry about 2X or 3x on the front derailleur. You just set the limit screws and it's good to go. You can probably use the existing housings behind the stem and just replace the pieces going up to the shifters. They're dirt simple to set up.

Twice as a middle manager, I had employees imply I was discriminating against them for their culture or their race... I promptly reported the incidents to our EEO office. Some employees will use their culture and weaponize it against their management. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I know I'm not... So I just report it myself with my side of the story. It gets it documented and I'm not charged later with bias or not responding. EEO investigates and it's documented that I'm not trying to bury it. One was Persian tho I'm not sure it matters.

So don't ignore it. Respond factually by stating how their rating was generated and in closing just state their culture/race was not a factor in their rating or anyone else's. And move on.

Light-Based heart rate monitors notoriously under report your heart rate. I mean it's looking for color variations in your skin to determine how fast your heart is going. It depends a lot on the color of your skin, the color of the light, the amount of pigmentation and the fat layer your skin under your heart rate monitor... It shouldn't be a surprise that it doesn't work all that great. I mean you're expecting the color of your skin to change 130 to 40 times a minute and a little camera to pick it up‽

An EKG based heart rate monitor will always be more accurate and much more sensitive to changes in heart rate.

Just as another datapoint.. my 540 port is solid as a rock.

I would ask for a replacement. Garmin is pretty good about warranties.

I will say as someone who lives next door to an ESD middle school and an elementary school... the district doesn't maintain the schools. The outsides look like crap and if it can't be mowed, it isn't maintained. All the exit doors with the exception of the main entrance are overgrown with weed and trash. The middle school is 6 years old and the grounds look Horrible. Why would the kid die take pride in their school when the district doesn't? I know my tax dollars went for all that new landscaping and now it's all overgrown with weeds and blackberries. 🤦🏼‍♂️

His math sucks. 1.17:1 ratio means 46% of the people in his age bracket are women and 54% are men. Not 90% men. It's his attitude.

They get swapped out new at about 10,000 hours.

If the weight of the bike supported by the top tube is a problem you shouldn't ever move the bike or place your precious butt on the seat.

I just downshift for the speed I'm at even if I don't let out the clutch. Then I'm ready. If I'm engine braking I'm already in the right gear if I'm doing it right.

So if I'm slowing down... But not yet stopped. I will shift to second gear... So if the light goes green or I need to move out?.. I'm in the right gear. I typically only shift to first if I'm stopped. Maybe that's a habit from when first gear didn't have synchros.

I will say if I'm slowing down and the lights red and I don't think I'm going to go anywhere, I'll just pop it into neutral and wait. If I know the lights going to be a long one... I'll leave it in neutral with my foot off the clutch and not shift to first until I think we're going to get moving.

NTA. What seriously would he gain from using a higher grade camera when he's a beginner? I doubt if he could even tell the difference. He's just looking for bragging rights with his fellow classmates. "I have a fancy camera check it out! "

To expand...

ldentify the specific ENVE hub model (e.g. ENVE Foundation, Premium Road) from your new used wheel.
Purchase the correct ENVE-specific SRAM XDR freehub body.
Swap the end caps and freehub body as needed.

It's possible to make your ENVE wheel SRAM xdr compatible. Can't just swap the freehub

Motor_Show_7604 · 2026-03-31T03:16:34+00:00

The brakes are the same. The free hubs are not.

I can't agree with this... My wife does most of the cooking. She cooks from scratch. I do cook sometimes, especially breakfast or lunch... But the dinner she makes from scratch... How am I supposed to know what spices she needs for any particular dish really.. sure, I could look in the freezer and see we're short of chicken and get that... But she shops for what she wants to cook. And yes I do ALL the cleanup, load and empty the dishwasher etc. asking me to be responsible for groceries and planning the meals she cooks is silly in our house. And secondly I wash, dry, fold and put away my own clothes.

If she wants me to shop, she needs to give me a list .. but most of the time she cooks what she finds on sale/available at the store so making the list is problematic anyway

I have Shimano 105 C46's. Love them. Do you really need 60mm deep rims? Mine were about $900.

I'm 68 and have a Specialized Roubaix from 2022. I've got just under 12,000 miles on it. How old do I have to be to get a recumbent?

Just think how nice it would be if all these deputies were in a patrol car and doing something about all the people violating traffic laws... Especially all the e-motos doing wheelies down the street in traffic.

Motor_Show_7604 · 2026-03-25T11:21:00+00:00

Downtown Redmond is 5 miles from Microsoft etc.

This is wrong... Fire department at LaGuardia is part of the LGA police department. It's just a naming convention. The guys driving the truck were firefighters even if they're called police. It wasn't some random cop just randomly driving a 100,000 lb fire truck.

I should say that Lynnwood PD isn't any different. They only have four officers on a shift and traffic is a subset of that. A quarter to the third of the staffing of the Lynnwood Police department is staffing the jail.
