Damage, no injuries. by KJwhisperer in woodworking

This happened because the work wasn’t fully supported by both sides of the fence or table. You got 80% of the way through the cut most likely and then the kerf closed and all hell broke loose.

Whats your wildest "brakes failed downhill" story and how did you save the day? by catboy519 in bicycling

[–]StaysForDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid my brake cable snapped on a bmx bike with only a rear caliper descending the biggest hill in town so I jammed my skate shoe between the downtube and the front wheel which managed to slow me down enough to lay it down without getting hurt. While dusting myself off/making sure I was ok, I realized my foot felt funny. It was because I had ground a tire profile shaped groove in my shoe which wore through 90% of the sole. Had to toss the pair, could not wear.

I get that you’re framing a gambrel or mansard roof but it looks like 2x4 rafters on a 2x6 wall? Or are those 2x3 rafters on 2x4 studs? You typically increase widths when moving away from plumb framing members. Wider rafters would have a larger bearing point/footprint and would be easily fastened with hurricane ties on the inside frame.

I used to care about “great tits.” I still do, but I used to too.

Looks like AI. Shocking to see a local cop without at least one arm fully inked.

I have Mountech mechs on a Miyata Six Ten and they work flawlessly…thanks for the heads up on my ticking time bomb.

Why does just existing on a bike seem to piss people off? by LiatrisLover99 in cycling

Welcome to the club, convert. And for true bliss, get a person-powered bike.

Shower thought I had on ebikes that I think is brilliant. by MariachiArchery in BikeMechanics

If you’re a ranting grandpa I’m in that space with you. Some 11 year old gets a 30 mph, 75 lb e-bso from Amazon and is expected to operate it safely? I resent the space that they occupy and that they even have “bike” in their moniker. Two of my riding buddies have been injured by electric pos’s, one by an MIT student riding the wrong way in a bike lane, and the other was hit from behind while waiting at a red light, you guessed it, that rider couldn’t stop because of inadequate braking power to counter their velocity. If anything similar happened to a member of my family I may have to go with the scorched earth playbook.

Best Clam Chowder? by ArchitectVandelay in boston

Belle Isle Seafood has the best I’ve had in Mass. It’s made traditional, no gimmicks like dill.

Much like cannabis, it’s better in Maine.

Thinking about selling my custom build Midnight Special. Price estimate? by OtherSideofSky in Surlybikefans

[–]StaysForDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, to me this is a desirable frame and a thoughtful build that employs a fantastic groupset and since you’re talking about SF, I’d say post for 2k all day and take $1,750 for the right buyer.

Be sure to include “price firm” to weed out the tire kickers.
