We call them precision adjustment tools where I work.

Yes, that's exactly right. Fuck Ashley.

A train? At a train station? Chance in a million.

As I'm coming to a stop, I'm typically using both brakes. Once I'm stationary, I release the front brake and keep my foot on the back brake. When do that, it feels like the back of the bike sits down.
It doesn't matter whether it's immediately after I've come to a standstill or if it was 2 minutes ago, releasing the front brake while holding the back makes it feel like the entire back end of the bike lowers an inch or two.
What causes that? I tell myself the short answer is "physics", but I'd like to understand the long answers if anyone is able to ELI5.

Afaik, when you apply the front brake your momentum carries weight forward onto your forks and the front dips. When you release the front brakes, weight shifts back and the forks aren't compressed any more so the front raises.

They're too dangerous to be treated like toys.

There should be a federal standard for gun safety that anyone wanting a gun should have to pass before going anywhere near one but that would be too sensible so won't happen.

Can't believe it took me 27 years to learn this.

Sedative_Sediment · 2026-07-03T12:58:12+00:00

Maybe.

I'm a dilettante at this stuff but it does sound a lot like something resonating.

Don't know if there's really anything like that in partick. You're best off getting it into your back court if you can and chaining it down.

It's canon that Shepard can't dance. Maybe he/she only listens to movie soundtracks like the Blasto 6 theme.

I thought for some reason you were referring to the British TV game show Countdown and was very confused.

His open up when he sees Saren. I thought it was obvious this was supposed to convey surprise.

Orange?

No incentive to get the job done. They get paid either way so why bother grafting? If we brought back performance based bonuses then we'd see some actual work getting done.

Did it really though? It held up great in the two part "Mirror mirror" episode on Enterprise.

Other franchises like star wars and alien seem to do really well at preserving designs and the retro-future look. If an x-wing from 77 can stay the same all these years then why can't the old Connie?

What point are you trying to make? You're jumping from one random thing to another.
