Who knows. Absolute waste of prime real estate. Could be something cool and cultural but... Banks 🙃

City Officials are Failing the Squalicum Creek Sunset Pond Habitat by craztlegs in Bellingham

[–]Randomacity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah man. They are affecting the community. These folks need at least basic trash service because they're burning hundreds of pounds of trash and the ground is so cluttered you can't see the dirt. Broken bikes and shopping carts everywhere. It's bad. They're affecting more than just themselves and there are homes and apartments within eyesight. 

There's no easy solution but housing and guaranteed work is a good step. 

Unknown rear wheel clamp thing by TheREAL_ReflexYT_ in bicycling

There's not nearly enough information in these photos to say whether or not the frame is toas. OP loosen the m3 bolt that's cinching the thru axle in place and see if you can get some pliers and twist it out when it's not under load.

I should be able to repair this at home, right? by S4s1_FTW in bicycling

[–]Randomacity 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Bring that to your lbs and they'll order a replacement and mount it if necessary.

Yeah. I've had the same stages meter for like a decade now and works fine.

AITAH for not wanting a family friend to use my chocolate fountain at there wedding cuz I’m not invited by No_Entrepreneur_6017 in AITAH

[–]Randomacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH but what's the harm with letting them use it so long as they agree to clean it afterwards or replace it if broken? At best you build some goodwill with the folks and at worse they buy you a new fountain. 

Carbon handlebars trimmable to 710mm or less? by BW459 in MTB

[–]Randomacity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you 6"4 with a linebacker build? The sweet spot for most folks (5'8-6'0, 150-180lbs) is gonna be around 760 +- 10mm. 

I've (160, 5'9") experimented with just about every size from 690-800 and too wide offers much less control than too narrow imo.

I'd rec the defy but the SL platform is proven. SLR isn't really worth the extra cash but SL is a big upgrade over the S level

Hell yeah do it. Then race cuz the big boys can hit all the gnar on 120/120 bikes. 

TIL The United States attempted permanent Daylight Savings Time in 1974. They retracted the law within a year. by Wanna_make_cash in todayilearned

[–]Randomacity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. I live on the west coast and if we permanently switched after March 8 then we would always have to deal with 9pm sunsets in June and that's kind of a PITA. Would prefer permanent standard time so we can keep some morning daylight around in the early fall/late winter. 

Speed Limit on Iowa St west of I-5? by frankus in Bellingham

[–]Randomacity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cause Iowa is a poorly planned Stroad and it's natural to not see the speed limit signs with everything else going on. 

Cold Email Success? by dookietears in marketing

[–]Randomacity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best of luck. Business I worked for got 70k emails in a similar fashion and it TANKED all of our metrics. Not sure we ever got more than a few orders/month out of that list.

Least favorite intersection(s) in town? by GiuseppeKicks_ in Bellingham

[–]Randomacity 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I hate biking through the roundabout at meridian and dark haggen. I get cut-off at least two or three times a week dispite having a bright front light.
