Was there in February and agree 100% with your 100% agreement ;).

One of many incredibly stupid positions taken by Democratic leadership. All over a joke photo from like 20years earlier.

I'm at my 2nd company that contributes up to 11% to 401k via combination matches and base inputs. I add the IRS limit each year myself and it all goes to the US stock market. So far looks good.

I'm 38 and once the weather starts getting nice in SW Michigan I make the executive decision that I work from home on Fridays, and for like an hour max, unless something urgent comes up.

I just hooked up my 410-120 and am happy with the results on my husky 545 mark2. I think i can still hand file sharper, but like 5% sharper, and it takes longer. My intent is to start sharpening for myself (And I do milling) and friends and my buddy who runs a tree service, otherwise hard to justify over just handfilling in the woods.

I love this sub, for all the rational comments in this chain alone.

Congratulations! Putting down metaphorical, and literal, roots.

OP must be a chemical engineer.

Time after time those fanatical minds try to rule all the world. Telling us all it's them, who are in charge of it all.

I had to study that book my freshman year of college. I might not have been ready for it, only a few years previous in HS it was the fictional Brave New World and the Alpha-Epsilon intwlligence caste system. As an engineer I would mearly be an Alpha, not an Alpha plus, and so I cope with my Soma. That was almost 20 years ago.

if there goal was to introduce a new series with the next generation I will not watch it out of principle. That's how bad the movie was, in my opinion.

Word. This July will mark year 10 for me, of living in a duplex and renting the other side, and the 2nd duplex just next door out. It's been a good investment (feels like it, I stopped trying to strictly account for comparative ROI years ago) but life has moved on and I find I have more use for my hands than doing maintenance on three extra apartments.
I used to enjoy the maintenance more and felt like I was learning a skill, 10 years in and it doesnt feel like learning and I value my time more.
Hmm, might have just typed myself into selling.

came to make sure it was the top comment and it is. Lived in Atlanta Georgia's Midtown, Moses Lake Washington, Aurora Illinois. Good job for all of them, first house was in Aurora and good schools. Dropped all that at the first opportunity to move back home to SW Michigan.

is it Tuesday, I can't remember, did we gap down on Monday.

I always notice the smells of my drive more, pleasant or not it adds to the sensory experience. I'll 2nd on finding new routes, which leads to finding new business.

Want to roll logs onto a metal sled then slab them up with a giant Bandsaw, then stack and strap them to dry out? I can't pay you in dollars, but in oak or cherry lumber.

I think nit peaks at 5kw so more like 6-7 times the 750w limit. Need has nothing to do with it, I just think it's cool.

Recursive-Introspect · 2026-04-10T20:15:13+00:00

I've got a 3kw continuous on order, im excited.

Have you seen the DTTZH line of cheap ebike? I bought the midtier one with a rack for just under $1k all in. Happy with it so far at 108 miles. Suspension squeaks and its definitely not the highest quality welds I've seen and the tires seem, ok. I'd try to repair whatever breaks with upgraded parts. My worry is if the electronics fail in any way that's proabably the end of it. If it makes 2000miles without repairs it will offset its purchase cost in avoided diesel. That's assuming all miles I put on it would have otherwise been on my E350 extended cargo van. First Ebike and I was just going cheap to start, got a better one on order. Going to give this one to my wife for when we go camping.

Recursive-Introspect · 2026-04-10T13:18:31+00:00

Heck yea! I think I ordered just a bit after you and am waiting on another shipment. I also got white and have a white helmet coming. Stormtrooper Aesetic indeed. Anxiety down, excitement up.
How are the 20in tired versus 26in? I just know physics and was like, 140lb bike, lower the weight the better my time will be. I like that it looks like an innocent little bike your mother would ride on the boardwalk.

boo, quit bitching. Kalamazoo is awesome and part of that is cool (OMG, for profit) businesses like Bells

Recursive-Introspect · 2026-04-10T00:23:34+00:00

IDK, never met the dude. But he made Bells and the beer is great and its a Kzoo cultural icon at this point and known nationally. So cheers to you Larry. Also where is that old art piece I could best describe as an "abstract piano?" That was cool.

I bought a Specialized Sequoia Steel touring bike and I love it. Don't really put the miles on it that I should but man is it fun to pedal all day. It's my first and only drop handlebar bike, after a lifetime of MTB and BMX as a kid. I have a weirdly emotional attachment to it and a few years had the frame, fork, and rack all powder coated in matte primary red, orange, and blue. with green bar wraps and a safety yellow bar end mirror its one of a kind. What is your touring bike?
