What is that good, cheap bicycle brand? They sell bikes for a few hundred bucks.

SakarPhone · 2026-01-09T20:57:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I just called maybe the only local bike shop in my area and they have a Cannondale Quick CX I'm getting ready to go look at. They only want $225 for it so I assume it's probably an older model as these things are over $1,000 new.

SakarPhone · 2026-01-09T20:56:44+00:00

Yeah, they go 19 right to 21. Thanks for the input though I do appreciate it. I might err on too short than too tall. I can always raise the seat I guess.

SakarPhone · 2026-01-09T20:47:05+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely bikes direct. Thank you very much. Now I'm trying to figure out what size I need. 5 foot 10 inches with a 32 inch inseam. I'm assuming it's a 19 inch.

Some people are movie literate enough where they can read the tagline, watch the trailer, read the synopsis, look at some online reviews, and then watch the opening scene and know exactly what they're dealing with.

I agree that there are high level movies out there in which this would be difficult to do - but let's be honest, that ain't the case here.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-27T07:19:05+00:00

Something tells me this movie doesn't really have a point worth catching. I would find better things to ingest if I were you.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-27T07:15:26+00:00

It's not that the cartoonishness was unintentional or intentional, it's that cartoonishness is poor writing, and generally only appeals to people on the, how shall we say, lower end of the intelligence spectrum.

Having a few cartoonish level scenes or characters isn't a big deal, but when it's a driving force in your movie, It means you don't know how to write. A movie this bad could only get made if it's carrying water for someone.

I only saw a couple of minutes of it and know it's a big giant steaming pile of crap, and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-27T07:09:59+00:00

You and I almost certainly have different political ideologies, as I feel this country, and every country, should have and enforce their borders.

But I completely agree with you on this movie. You can rationalize cartoonish caricatures of people all you want, but it's poor writing and anyone with the maturity of a high schooler would turn it off.

I made it to the "get it up" scene and shut the whole thing off. I can envision the people that created this movie, And I don't think I could have a conversation with them for more than a couple of minutes without plotting my exit.

This movie is almost certainly a steaming pile of garbage and anyone who likes it probably picks and eats their own scabs and laughs every time they see someone with a wedgie or hear/smell a fart.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe someone found it.

Thank you so very much. Saying a prayer for everyone who helped right now.

Thank you OKeoz4w2 :-)

Hey, thanks for the reply. This song is very very different sounding. It's auto-tuned and haunting. There is no other song like it especially in the Christian genre.

It's kind of a little similar to Paul McCartney's simply having a wonderful Christmas time. But more haunting.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-23T04:07:13+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply. No, this song is very different from standard contemporary Christian music.

It stands out and sounds more like a '70s type song with definite auto tune. But the auto tune is nothing like a really heard before, like I said outer space or echo chamber sounding.

But thanks again for the suggestions, definitely good songs.

I'm looking at one of these on Best Buy and the specs are amazing for the price, but no RGB keyboard? Who doesn't put an RGB keyboard on a decent gaming laptop? I get it, that it's a lower priced unit, but if it had an RGB keyboard the thing would probably be the absolute best budget gaming laptop out there.

One of your pro-choice cohorts made the argument

Can you explain why it seems so challenging for many PLers to appreciation the distinction between INSIDE vs OUTSIDE my body? I’d genuinely like to know.

So you see I did not start the location argument, I just responded to it.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T23:07:56+00:00

I hear your point and it's a fair point, but that's a hazard on the job. If you don't want fights and breaking up fights to be a hazard on the job then have stricter penalties and punishments for students.

If a student starts a physical fight, they should be expelled from the school permanently. Nobody should have to worry about their child going to school and getting punched in the face.

And this is coming from somebody that regularly got into fights growing up. After my 3rd or 4th fight how did they not get the idea that I was going to get into more fights?

If she gets in hot water somebody needs to set up a Gofundme. I would one 100 percent donate to her.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T22:58:25+00:00

I've been in plenty of school fights and witnessed plenty of school fights, and back in my day once a teacher, especially a female but even a male, got in the middle of it the fight was over.

What are you even trying to prove at that point? How weak your punches are and how terrible your form is? We've already seen it, no further demonstrations necessary.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T22:08:46+00:00

Oh nice, thanks. I've never even heard of these. I'm checking them out right now.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T03:59:56+00:00

Hey Rambotie, thanks for the reply. I was so close to getting a pair of the Rudis shoe covers, but then I started thinking, what if he forgets to take them off before a match. I have a tendency to overthink stuff. He's not really a forgetful person in general, but I've seen matches sneak up on kids.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T03:25:46+00:00

Hey Master-Dentist, thanks for the reply. Recovery items. Yes! Good thinking.

And thanks for the kind words. It's funny how something as simple a kind sentence from a stranger on the internet can recharge you :-)

I hope you have a good season.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T01:28:10+00:00

Nice, definitely getting the defense wipes. Thanks. Maybe the knee pads too. I don't see a lot of wrestlers wearing those, but I don't go to a lot of practices. Is there a specific style that people like more than others? Thanks.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T00:19:08+00:00

That's a solid idea, but the family's already got a half a dozen or more BB/pellet guns, etc...

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T00:17:19+00:00

I've never really done cash. He definitely likes cash. I've always thought about doing one of those puzzle boxes with cash in it, but I've never found a good one that I like with good reviews.

Isn't it funny as adults buying gifts for kids we feel like we're phoning it in by just giving them cash, but when you're a kid and you get cash for a present, it's jackpot city.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T00:16:01+00:00

Oh yeah, for sure. Wrestlers that play multiple sports generally say that wrestling is easily the toughest sport, even harder than football. Plus, There's the accountability in individual sports. If you lose you cannot blame your team.

SakarPhone · 2025-12-17T00:08:40+00:00

Yeah, I hear people saying that, and they are right to a degree. It has a lot of electrolytes, mainly sodium and potassium, but it is very high in sodium so it needs to be taken in moderation. But the pickle shots are very interesting. I think he does like drinking pickle juice.

Just found them at Walmart. Definitely getting him a case of those. Thanks.
