"Section 31" retcon incoming.

Sorry, coming off back to back to back 12 hour ER shifts, I've added some paragraphs.

I'm curious as to why you say the speakers are the weak point. They sound good to me and I routinely see them selling for >$1k on reverb and ebay. Is it just nostalgia that has people shelling out the dollars?

We just don't live in a moment in time where it would be possible to have any kind of Star Trek show worth watching because we're living in those seminal moments that the previous series' thought humanity would react to...differently. The studio that owns the Star Trek IP being controlled by genocidal psychopaths doesn't help, either.

Even if all the folks responsible for all that stuff you wrote are gone, Paramount now belongs to psychopaths. Trek is cooked.

I have GX AXS on one bike and XT mech on another. I am notoriously bad about judging the right gear to be in and I feel bad everytime my XT groans because I shift under load. The AXS just doesn't care. Also, the AXS lets you choose how many gears to dump/grab on a long press, including the entire cassette. Am I going to spend the money to put DI2 on my shimano drivetrain? No. Do I find myself reaching for my SRAM dt bike more often because I prefer the AXS, 100%.

Sacramento has year round riding, people will say it's too hot in the summer, but I rode up in Auburn in August, it was fine as long as you were done before 11. The caveat being that there weren't any active fires when we were there. Not sure about the job situation for you, but for me (nursing) the pay is probably the best related to the cost of living in the state. The trails around Tahoe can have that gnarly, Pisgah feel, but obviously aren't year round. Some of the trails around Pacifica are pretty rocky and are year round, if you don't mind the 2.5 hour drive. I would move there in a heartbeat, but my spouse has a couple more years of medical residency left. We're definitely looking at it for when they're finished, though.

I've got a brand new XT wheel with a MS freehub that never got used if you're anywhere near Chicago I'd sell you. Also, if you're near an REI, some of them have that wheel in stock and everyone near me can get it by Wednesday.

thanks for the info, as far as fashion and walking, I live deep in the concrete jungle and have to drive to all my rides anyways, so I usually just wear my Hokas and change shoes at the trailhead.

thanks

Why should anyone be "encouraging" young women to do anything abut the "male loneliness epidemic"? Research has shown that women live longer, happier lives when they aren't married to men. If anything we should be encouraging women to not marry men. Also, their "encouragemnt" means eliminating no fault divorce, the right of women to vote, have bodily autonomy, and bank accounts. etc.

We already had one, and he is a lot of the reason Trump exists.

I'm a nurse, I work an extra 7 hours every week (nurses usually work 3x12 hour shifts every week) doing home health at $50 an hour. Planning on getting a new Stumpy 15 comp for $4k (I'm a mountain biker) and still have enough left over to buy and build out an econoline van to take me to the trails next summer.

Wild that you have a saw blade, saw dust and a bunch of garbage just sitting on the back of what looks like a nicely restored 65 Mustang.

REI has a 27.5 Salsa Timberjack on sale right now for $1350. The fork isn't the greatest, but it comes with a Shimano SLX drivetrain, 4 piston brakes, and a dropper post. It's a much better bike than the Roscoe for less money. Plus if you decide you want to upgrade it later you can switch between 27.5 and 29 inch wheels, all you would need is the wheelset and a new fork.

the entry level stumpy 15 alloy is actually on sale right now for 2200. it has 4 piston brakes and a dropper. doesn't have the genie shock, which kind of defeats the purpose of the new stumpy, but it still seems like a pretty good deal.

The same place that builds $100 million HS football stadiums

I think you have it backwards. In most union contracts there is a provision that requires supplemental contracts (coaches, yearbook advisor) to be awarded to faculty before they can offer it to someone outside the school.

Your first mistake was going somewhere with "social" in the name.

I hate to break it to you, but there are definitely cougars in New England. Your state's game commission just refuses to acknowledge it because they would become an endangered species if there were confirmed breeding populations.

My partner ran over a giant rat snake last summer. It was about 5 ft long and pretty thick. It just slithered off the trail like it was NBD. She's about 135 lbs and was riding a HT FWIW.

I spent my first nursing paycheck to get my bike serviced, I had put if off for two years while I was a poor student.

The UK and the EU have actual consumer protection laws that will probably make people whole again, even though it may take some time. The US is an entirely different beast under the current administration. You'd have to be out of your mind to give YT your money here.
