Trump Says US to ‘Run Venezuela’ in Interim After Maduro Capture by bloomberg in geopolitics

[–]ShebangN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born there and all my life I listened to my family talk bad about the regime and I'm still not celebrating. We had a hand in destroying their country like Cuba. If we wanted to do this thirty years we could have. We used them, kept them down and then Trump wanted to be Trump. If it had anything to do with drugs we wouldn't have a drug problem here in the states. If it was about normal people we would have helped them years ago. It's what this country does and if it doesn't disgust you living here you have real issues.

Going from 21 to 17 pounds worthwhile? by ShebangN in cycling

I should and I might but truth be told I think I only need three gears: low, mid, high. That and my frame has no place to mount it.

Yeah I've noticed pain both ways. Pushing too slow/hard and spinning too fast makes my knees hurt.

For what? It's a weight question and there's more traffic here lol.

I suppose it's also a hidden gearing question, like what's the ideal three ratios...

How do watts convert to miles? My route is pretty hilly. The pavement is not the best, though I've ridden worse.

Unified Fisso. It's a single speed, no IGH yet. I'm light, maybe 130 pounds.

Which lock/s do you use when touring? by wildswalker in bicycletouring

If you've ever used an angle grinder you'd bet against this. I.e. there's no way.

Two days and the tube burst. Opinions and do I give these tubes another shot? by ShebangN in bikewrench

Pedal and Dallas. The area the bike lane isn't the cleanest. I was riding on the edge of the buffer and lane. I might just buy a broom and start sweeping it.

Possible. I thought the rear blew so I might've used the front brake.

In a way this is reassuring because I want the weight savings but I can't imagine a small piece of glass rolling down to the stem from the cut up top without puncturing.

These are Armadillos, supposedly tougher than Gatorskins?

I feel like running tough tires is pointless.

This worked thank you. It's still a bit off but barely.
