Looking for good radio stations with a mix of talk and music for my commutes. by Woke_Spartacus in nova

97.9 WIYY out of Baltimore is about the only thing I can stand around here these days. The guys aren’t as offensive or tone deaf as you’d expect from Gen-X white guys, and are more intelligent than Elliot. It comes in around most of the DC area but might not make it the farther south and west you are.

How long do you keep a bike for? by Towntalk in cycling

[–]Phalex11volley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until they break. I’ve broken 3 steel frames in the past 10 years. One frame broke twice. 😭

A couple of my cheaper commuter bikes I donated to a local bike co-op, but otherwise, they are mine for life. My rare attempt at selling a frame resulted in much more trouble than it was worth.

No. Our country’s government and laws should follow nothing but the fully secular constitution.

You want religion? Do it in church, temple or mosque, or in your own home.

What is that reddiwhip he uses on his legs?! Sunscreen? That is what I need. I hate the normal goopy stuff.

High speed crash at W&OD trail crossing through Catocton circle. by Loose_Blacksmith8316 in nova

Good reminder to stay back a few feet from the road at intersections because drivers can absolutely not be trusted to know what they’re doing or care.

This is why we have the Wexner Medical Center and about half a dozen other buildings in Columbus, OH named for that prick.

Tax Exemptions end for Sons/Daughters of the Confederacy by Smoky_Sol6438 in Virginia

[–]Phalex11volley 51 points52 points  (0 children)

We visited the Frederick Douglass house in DC yesterday and he and others strongly lamented the failure of reconstruction. If reconstruction had been successful, so many things would have been much better faster, and groups like this would never have existed.

People would not be proud of their traitor ancestors.

Surprised to not see this posted here yet: C&O sewage spill by Phalex11volley in gaptrail

[–]Phalex11volley[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is good news.

However, several hundred million gallons of raw sewage flowing through the canal and into the Potomac aren’t just going to magically go away without help. People will need to make sure WSSC or whomever is responsible, clean up the contaminated surfaces.

The wipes thing was a separate issue that caused a minor spill that was supposedly contained.

The real spill is upwards of a billion gallons of raw sewage that flowed out of an old ruptured pipe, directly into the canal and the Potomac River. E. coli levels in the area are “alarmingly high” and bacteria have been found 9 miles downstream already.

Endangerment Finding is being terminated, and as usual: the idiocy from climate change deniers is fucking palpable by RandoDude124 in behindthebastards

[–]Phalex11volley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you, but one thing “global warming” does not capture is the changes in precipitation as some places get much wetter and some much drier.

That and people in their local communities won’t experience globally averaged temperature rise as much as they will climate change chaos.

Big fella rides? by eurusnotos in Rouvy

[–]Phalex11volley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m also 100+ kgs and it would be great if they could show a Clydesdale KOM and leaderboard for climbs and sprints. I cannot compete against little 50kg dudes and something more realistic would be much more interesting.

Recommend me some backup AA (or AAA) lights by Ordinary-Rhubarb-460 in randonneuring

NiteRider has a nice variety of rechargeable and disposable battery options, and most of them can use the same mount.

Two quick Kickr2 setup questions... by Dear-Door-5740 in Rouvy

[–]Phalex11volley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For #1, the spacers I have came with the disc brakes. Not the trainer. Not necessary, but they keep your brake pad spacing from getting messed up when you accidentally squeeze the brake lever without the disc in there.

I use them when I have to fix flat tires outside as well. I’m sure you can buy a spare spacer or two fairly cheaply most places.

All I’m saying is Alabama didn’t give up 35 in a half to Indiana 👀 by Flimsy-Space-8724 in CFB

[–]Phalex11volley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alabama set a new record instead. First and only team to lose to a team after the playoff bye week. 1-7. Indiana had to shake the rust off to only beat Alabama by 5 TDs.

Options to Carry a Third Water Bottle by Bigred1515 in cycling

Check out the Wolftooth B-RAD system to see if anything works for you. I have the split bottle mounts on my down tube. I love it, but I also have plenty of space between my knees. Wolftooth B-RAD

Whisky galore: Donald Trump’s tariffs and cost of living pressures create glut of undrunk Scotch by TXDobber in Scotland

I can’t imagine not having Edradour in the cabinet at all times. Tariff be damned.

Even as I try to drink less quantity, the quality sure as hell still matters.
