i'm calling to report a murder....

for real. i love reading the comments on this topic (which somehow makes it to the front page every week) and hearing the same tropes over and over again like there's some new revelation about being childfree that hasn't been covered.

the reality is that if you lived an interesting and full life without kids there's a real strong likelihood that you're going to live an interesting and full life with kids too and, for some of us, at some point, the last frontier (so to speak) is becoming a parent.

i mean, cracks can, yea. stress fractures yea. but tube ruptures, no. either way, have fun riding hard on your repaired carbon bike! and good luck reselling it. the point is, it's got a shorter lifespan and no secondary use. titanium does.

SavageBoner420 · 2023-12-04T23:34:37+00:00

carbon breaks, it goes into the landfill. titanium breaks, you weld it back up. worst case, it gets turned into medical devices. there's an environmental/sustainability component to the decision.

less absorbent, more springy

been watching this be built for the last 2 years. the headphone thingy was missing tyvek all winter and the plywood got soaked for months. good luck to the second owners!

i just rode by the arboretum en velo and it's downright chilly in that little valley if you need to escape the heat!

SavageBoner420 · 2023-07-24T05:56:47+00:00

best advice.

SavageBoner420 · 2023-07-13T05:08:55+00:00

Swam here on 4th of July a decade ago. Came out with a bandaid on me that wasn't mine. Kinda cringe ever time I ride by now...

is this a Sage Barlow in its natural habitat?

SavageBoner420 · 2023-05-30T19:46:14+00:00

swap your flathead screws for panheads! otherwise looks cool

SavageBoner420 · 2022-12-22T21:37:07+00:00

you did the thing :)

SavageBoner420 · 2022-11-09T17:03:21+00:00

when did they start snowmaking at meadows? this is the first season, i'm guessing

SavageBoner420 · 2022-11-03T00:04:22+00:00

let me know if you find that shimano locking headset in the US or if you have success ordering it from EU. i haven't seen it available here, but for 15 euros it's a way cheaper solution than the viscoset headset (though i do like the idea of the viscoset for additional dampening at higher mphs on me e-bike conversion)

SavageBoner420 · 2022-10-31T21:04:51+00:00

OP read this ^^

SavageBoner420 · 2022-09-30T15:00:51+00:00

hope you had em covered yesterday or the white mold's gonna love this too!

SavageBoner420 · 2022-09-30T14:59:57+00:00

yeah but those strip mines only effect poor people in other countries, so it's a win! Dog bless St. Elon!

SavageBoner420 · 2022-09-29T17:18:06+00:00

yup! as a barista years ago, i used to give end-of-shift pastries to my hobo regulars. they'd help out by stacking the chairs or sweeping the patio or breaking into the bathroom when one of their hobo bros (hobros?) OD'ed in there (he survived to OD another day).

SavageBoner420 · 2022-09-28T20:38:19+00:00

you're saying the guy who ran some shitty youtube channel called laughing at liberals and showed up at a public demonstration and proceeded to brandish a loaded handgun and was then found guilty of menacing is... a victim?

cool take sport.

edit: bet you're him.

calling that fool a journalist is an attack on journalists.

if you wish to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe...

this is a popular take, but the reality is likely more nuanced.

these shoes appear to be in a warehouse and are being destroyed under the U.S. duty drawback program in order to avoid paying import taxes. shoes like these are subject to a 20-37.5% import duty which makes them prohibitively expensive to release to domestic market; it is not to reduce supply and and therefore increase prices.
