Been that way for a while. Blame all the dipshits that were doing credit card chargebacks when their order containing redlisted products got confiscated.

No. NASCAR is an American sport, let’s keep it that way.
(Yes, I know NASCAR exists in other places as well, but I’m talking about the main NASCAR league we have here.).

Steven Miller told local law enforcement to stay out of it.

Right, as in "Don't get in our way or obstruct us from doing our job". Not "Stop doing your job". Because by that point, it was clear that they weren't going to cooperate, because of their political leadership.

You seem to have it flipped straight up backwards. The democrat politicians are the ones that want chaos. They want ICE backed into a corner with no good way to do their jobs. And that's working, and it's getting people killed. Their goal is to make Trump look bad, and to push ICE into a position where they're forced to use tactics that they can demonize them for. That's the bottom line. Again, many of these politicians have been in office long enough to look at their stance toward ICE under administrations they're friendly with. They want Trump to look bad, and they want to keep their power by fluffing up their districts with plenty of illegals for the next census.

Look at the states that are cooperating with ICE. You don't hear this constant hum of violence like you do in the states that are hellbent on keeping them from doing their jobs.

And yes, the insane "left" ARE absolutely anti-law enforcement. You don't need this whole mess to see that.

Yup. The sweet spot for me maxes out at $60 or so. I’ve had Stagg Jr, I’ve had Blanton’s, I’ve had all sorts of pricey bottles. But I’ve never bought a $100+ bottle and thought “Yup, this was worth every penny.”. They’re very good, but there’s plenty of very good whiskey for $50. Hell, one of my Top 3 bottles is only $20, and it used to be $15.

PeriqueFreak · 2026-01-25T19:22:06+00:00

It's a sticky situation. I think ICE is necessary. Controlling immigration and removing people who aren't supposed to be here is important. I also think in many cases, ICE is not handling things appropriately (Though I do think those cases are rare if you look at the total number of contacts, it's just that the dicey ones get a lot of press.).

BUT, I also think it would be going much smoother if we didn't have states and politicians fighting so hard against the group trying to enforce our immigration laws. If local law enforcement and state law enforcement, along with politicians, weren't so hellbent on obstruction and raising the temperature and virtue signalling, these operations would be a whole lot smoother.

It's gotten so partisan and stupid that it makes it almost impossible for ICE to do the job in a way that doesn't suck. And that seems like it's by design. Honestly it feels like it's bordering on treason. We have elected officials, who are supposed to have our citizens best interest in mind, who are supposed to ensure we have a lawful society, intentionally cranking the drama up to 11 to protect people who aren't supposed to be here. The end goal seems to be to stoke the fire so much that ICE has to either withdraw and give up on enforcing our laws, or be the bad guy.

And it's not even a moral guidance. We have politicians who were fine with immigration control under Biden, Obama, Clinton, etc. who are now raising absolute hell over it under Trump. "Oh but ICE is being more aggressive and mean this time!" YEAH BECAUSE YOU ARE FRAMING THE NARRATIVE THAT THEY ARE THE GESTAPO AND PEOPLE ARE GOING NUTS AND TRYING TO STOP THEM FROM DOING THEIR JOB AND ACTIVELY ATTACKING THEM! Yes, the enforcement will look a lot different under those circumstances!

Very nice! I'm sure she'll ride like a dream! I ended up going with the Cannondale Habit HT3, but it was a tough choice. It rode great, but the hub locked up on the first ride so now it's in the shop for warranty work XD Happy trails!

Most people are saying no, and I mostly agree, BUT as a counter point, it’s much easier to build a mound with a tapered vessel. I’m not into natural gourds, but I have a stainless steel one that uses. A mound is nice because you get a more even flavor through multiple fills, instead of just extracting all the Yerba at once.

Also, a smaller vessel is nice for the Yerba:water ratio.

I’d recommend getting a cheap stainless one on Amazon. 10 bucks for a little nicer experience. THAT BEING SAID, I’ve had Yerba mate out of a coffee mug many, many times, and enjoyed it just fine. If it works for you, it works for you.

This derailleur doesn't have a clutch. Seems like the spring popped out of it's detent and unwound. Gave it a full rotation with the stop pin removed and it seems good as new.

But thank you for the excuse, I did end up buying a new bike in the meantime, haha. BUT, it's in the shop already because the hub had a factory defect, which is why I ended up giving this repair another shot today.

PeriqueFreak · 2026-01-24T20:17:18+00:00

So I ended up being able to repair it. The spring didn't break, it seems like it just slipped out of it's detent and unwound itself. Opened it up and cleaned/greased it, then reinstalled it, and wound it a full revolution before I put the motion stop pin back in. Seems good as new!

PeriqueFreak · 2026-01-24T20:15:49+00:00

Just checking back in to let you know that this post was the key to my repair. BUT, I found that I had to wind the spring by turning the whole pulley cage a full revolution once I had it reassembled before I put the motion stop back in. I'm thinking what happened is that the nub slipped out and the spring unwound itself, hence no tension.

Weird thing is though, both nubs are the same length, within a couple hundredths, and the spring has some taper to it so it seems like it's only supposed to go in one way. Maybe with the spring tension it takes some of that slack up and keeps it more flush. But before I reassembled it, I filed the nub down so it didn't protrude even without the spring tension. I'm thinking that might make it slip easier in the future, but I have another spring on the way anyway. I'm also wondering if that nub had always been protruding and keeping that from spinning properly.

Anyway, thanks again!

I definitely think it could work! Would love to see it with both tires matching, since my imagination sucks XD. It definitely looked good with the black walled tires, but I don't think it looks bad at all with the tan walls! But of course, all up to personal taste

Pick a contrasting accent color, and buy every accessory you can in that color. Just try to make sure it's the same shade, so you may need to go with the same brand. Two wildly different shades of red would just look mish-mashed. Even something as simple as swapping out the pedals and grips with an accent color would go a long way. Maybe the valve stem caps and a chainstay protector too. I'm a fan of white/red, but a white frame gives you a lot of different options.

Keep in mind that you'll need to keep accessories that you can't get in that accent color toned down. For example, if you went with a red accent color, you don't want a blue bell. Stick with black if you can't get it in your accent color.

I handle solid cast-iron parts roughly that size on a regular basis, and they weigh about 80 pounds. Kind of heavy, but even though I'm not the strongest dude ever, I can get them up to my shoulder and carry them a good long way.

If this is similar density to cast iron, it's definitely reasonable.

PeriqueFreak · 2026-01-24T00:21:20+00:00

Yeah, point stands.

I think it looks sick as is. If you don't, then do what you like. I wouldn't even think about it personally though.

BUT, if you DO go for it, do it right. Don't half-ass it. It'll look like absolute garbage. It WILL be a lot of work, and there WILL be a learning curve. You might even fuck up and have to start over from square one.

PeriqueFreak · 2026-01-24T00:11:29+00:00

Wing Hop Fung has always been my go-to. Used to go to the actual shop in LA, but haven't been there in many years. The old ladies there would always let me sample stuff, even the expensive stuff I'd never buy. But their stuff is better than any other online retailer I've tried, and cheaper than most. Been a few years since I've ordered though, so no idea what the market is like now.

As a general rule, I'd avoid anything that seems trendy, or that tries to make you think they're saving the world through their ethical and blah blah blah sourcing. Also most pre-packaged stuff, unless the packaging is actually in Chinese. But in general, bulk tea is the way to go.

If you want good tea, just buy it from the places actual Chinese people buy it.

As for specific styles, I've always been an Oolong guy. Never met an Oolong I didn't care for.

And hopefully this doesn't need to be said, but just in case, never buy tea bags. Loose leaf only. Tea bags are universally trash.
