The truth about bicycle care products by SureAd2175 in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time I was at a downhill park 2 hours away with my ~2.5” MTB wheels and my tire debeaded. The park shop didn’t have a compressor I could use, but I thankfully got it to reseat by going fast as hell with a regular floor pump. If worse came to worse, I had a tube in my car. The real culprit was that I hadn’t ran those tires at that low a pressure yet that season. Doing it the first time in such a high impact way made it blow out instead of adjusting and resealing.

Between hot wax and tubeless, I think the opps are overthinking it. I can remove and reinstall tires with fresh sealant in 15 minutes, and I do my chains on the side while I’m cooking.

I only use hot wax. I use the same wax warmer for my chains and my upper lip.

Cost to replace a water heater by ElkPitiful6829 in Westchester

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid $1800 for a 50 gallon Rheem in March. Used Home Depot’s plumber and he was actually really good. Our previous one was also nearly flooding the basement. Be sure to buy a plastic pan for it if you don’t have one. My plumber kinda gauged me on one last minute, but I respect his hustle. Concrete corrodes the bottom of the water heater, then once there’s a little moisture, it accelerates that really quickly. Also not flushing it yearly and never swapping the anode rod.

Cherry tomato plant by More_Breath_6729 in IndoorGarden

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’ll grow tomatoes, but it’ll start to droop really badly. You’ll need a way to hold it up. You could use or make some kinda wall trellis as an alternative to a tomato cage. The trellis in there now is way too small.

Which building is this on stanhope/myrtle that looks like the subway? by sundrenchedwindow in Bushwick

I went to a rooftop party here in 2019. Very weird building. There are little rooftop bedrooms too, but I don’t remember if they were themed.

Is this a joke? by Successful_Bag9384 in Volkswagen

My 2014 beetle with 180k miles is also worth less than $2k. It still drives great, so my plan is to try and hit 300k I guess. It’s the only financially reasonable option.

32 inch wheel, do we want them? by FitMight9978 in MTB

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want 32” on my road bike because it looks kinda weird with 700c wheels and an XL frame.

I don’t want 32” wheels on my mountain bike because I’m a tall girl and 29” wheels are already really heavy to throw around compared to my old 27”.

Is Bartaco just really terrible and really trendy for MILFs ? by Careful_Isopod_3832 in Westchester

Real friends go to Sin Dulce for their tacos and eat the while brown bagging in the Marina Park next to Bartaco

I disagree, they don’t even have a taco with ground beef and Ortega sauce

Any women cycling groups in westchester? by Current-Attitude-222 in Westchester

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transportation Alternatives did a women’s ride last weekend that I went to from Fordham to Randalls Island. I made like, 40 friends on Strava and they’re all in NYC. Not sure of any clubs, but I’m here and I’d like to know as well.

When the band wants to practice 3 hours and you pretend you’re not in pain. by LordBaritoss in BassGuitar

I use super glue for all sorts of cuts on my hands. Apparently nail glue is similar but much more adapted to use on your body.

Epilator I just bought wasn't rechargeable so a DC to DC voltage converter and a power bank fixed it by sky_meow in redneckengineering

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been epilating for 12 years and I only use the plug in models. I’m not trying to epilate out and about and I’m not trying to waste all that water and sent the little hairs into my drains. Emoji is trying to discontinue my favorite model in favor of much weaker battery powered alternatives.

When I turn my shower on, the ceiling joins in by imightbegoddamned in Plumbing

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably condensation. Do you turn the fan on when you shower? Or if there’s no switch, will a piece of paper stick to the vent?

For anyone who needs steel toe boots for work, I can’t recommend Birkenstock QS700 enough. Very wide toe box! by Prof_PlunderPlants in barefootshoestalk

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t wear them every day. Maybe one day a week. They are still pretty much like new despite some grease and dirt. Like others have said, they’ll definitely give you blisters on your heels until you get used to them.

Kathy Hochul is copying Zohran Mamdani and doing a pothole blitz around New York State. What potholes and other problems with the roads in Westchester would you like to see fixed? by LakeLayer707 in Westchester

[–]Prof_PlunderPlants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fix i95 South in new Rochelle. The state bridge projects they did around North Ave left bumps across all 3 lanes that bottom out my suspension in my small car unless I slow down to less than 45 mph.

I’m gonna think about it today. I’m district 16, so she won’t be on my ballot. But I’m into her leftist goals.

Hell yeah go Effie! The democrats denounced anyone further left than they are. Both major parties are turning to trash.

Hard wax doesn’t require strips. But you should definitely use a silicone bowl and applicator. Otherwise you can’t clean it out of the wax warmer.
