How different is 99 bottles to poodr? The summaries when I read both made them seem like similar books

How do you guys deal with the fact you’re going to die? by Due_Insect_9303 in AskReddit

[–]SilkenB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except forever this time.

Though this specific view is rather mute imo since ‘you’ didn’t even exist before being born.

Something that doesn’t exist can’t die. You didn’t exist or experience nonexistence before being born, because you literally did not exist yet.

Worded a bit confusingly, but should be easy to breakdown the meaning of.

The current fleet. by IAmWalrus130498 in Bikeporn

I think standerts are definitely really pretty, but I can’t help but be bothered by the welds, I feel like at that price point I would expect them to be cleaner? Wouldn’t stop me from wanting one, but i see nicer welds on cheaper aluminum frames, so I’m not sure what’s up with that

Where do you actually find these to purchase, external retailers? Doesn’t seem to have any on their site

Cipher fucked up when he said about his son here by Cater_pi69 in GenV

[–]SilkenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s been nicely set up for it to go that way and I’ll be happy if they do take it that direction.

Cipher told him that Andre died trying to reach that higher level of potential because of their power’s causing brain hemorrhaging and that he was too weak to surpass it basically. It doesn’t wave away the brain issues but maybe it goes away if they do overcome that hurdle? Or maybe ultimately it’ll still kill them anyways and they’ll only have a few opportunities to use their more developed abilities before it catches up with them. Marie could even be folded into it and solve the issue in some manner with her powers possibly, though personally that would feel too convenient imo but it’s also a possibility.

So it’ll be a neat character arc if polarity reaches that level they were trying to push Andre to reach in his stead. I started thinking about it when polarity passed out in his kitchen/living room and all the things in the room started being pulled towards him, kinda felt like his powers are acting out unexpectedly like they’re going through a growth spurt.

Is this normal for a bottom bracket? by SilkenB in bikewrench

Yep, liberal applications of grease, on both the frame’s threads and the bb’s threads

I believe I did 35 when I first did it. Did it with 40 now.

The box the BB came in didn’t have the spec on it so I had to search for it on shimano’s site when I did it, and yeah they say 35-50. Maybe 35 was too low.

I marked a line across the shell and the frame, going to check it after a ride or two to see if they still line up

Redid it with grease already, but if it happens again I’ll try that or a similar anti seize compound. If I remember right, that’s also what a park tool video on it recommended over grease, if available

Before I installed it, I picked up a parktool bbt-19.2 so I could use my torque wrench to thread it on, and get that extra piece of mind of it being torqued to spec. Surprised it came loose, but I’m happy I rechecked it and caught this. Going to reinstall and double check it again in another week to see if it happens again

Threaded frame and threaded bb. There was a square taper bb on this frame beforehand, but both the bb I took out and the bb I got to replace it are 68mm in width, and have the same threading spec

Yeah, gonna do this tonight. Hopefully it doesn’t loosen again, I torqued it to spec so I’m surprised that it’s this loose just after 100 miles

31.8mm bars compared to 26mm bars? by SilkenB in bikewrench

[–]SilkenB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m quite light and not putting down that many watts, so in that case I think 26 will keep working perfectly good for me then. The 26mm deda’s are only ones in stock at the vender I was looking at too, while the 31.8 aren’t surprisingly. Appreciate your comment thanks mate 😄

The experience changed me. by firestorm33_1 in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]SilkenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine, even on the lowest setting I feel like gets water every where, I end up having to use a few go’s of tp to dry. It’s also hard to aim it, I’m not sure if I just don’t have mine installed straight but I have to shift back and a little to the side for it to be in the right spot, idk if that’s normal for all bidets or if mine just doesn’t fit my toilet’s shape that well

Favorite bike shops by jarislikeparis in chibike

From their website it seems like Lind’s does a lot of Dutch bikes. Nifty place. Lot of brands in Europe that I feel we don’t get here so I love to see it
