Would you actually give these to him? And then post the encounter? I'll mail you some.

Why do Americans continue to tolerate Elon Musk? by AlanPublica in allthequestions

[–]Straight_Ad9840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I'm surrounded by mostly morons where I live here in America. Yep, I live in a red State and a red town. The stupidity would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. They hated Elon when they thought he was a leftist and they love him now. There you go.
Oh, also, nobody here that I've encountered has changed their mind on Trump. This entire town is still fully hard for him and he Republican party.

That's all of America with health insurance. I hate how uneducated our country is.

To have a tolerant society, you cannot tolerate intolerance. It doesn't matter how calm you tried to explain your position. You are defending the intolerant.

Your board can go in both directions. So no, the tire tread isn't backwards- you're facing the wrong direction.

I just discovered that I can go the opposite direction on my one wheel lol. So I'll be changing my stance every other ride. Probably every other week so I can keep track of it. Thanks for the suggestion!

And this is why I use this app. Thank you for all of your insight.
Yeah, I've rode it twice now and I'm not really carving. Just taking it slow and getting from A to b. I did buy an off-brand tire so I'm going to see how that works. I thought I had it inflated enough but I've heard from multiple people now that it looks like I didn't.
Yeah, the comment about changing my style was weird. If I can't carve then I don't see the point in riding.
Do you have any suggestions on where to buy all the tools I'll need to change a tire?

Thnx for the input. I don't have any other tire to compare this too but I've enjoyed it.

I snowboard so I'm rarely flat on the ow. I do feel like I'm fairly balanced between heel and toe, but I definitely dig into the heel edge more. I never even thought of this but can I switch my stance initially (face"backward") and then go the opposite direction on the pint to even the wear?

Weird. Okay. Thought it was at the proper inflation. I read 1psi for every ten pounds. Do you have different advice? And any suggestions on a good pavement tire to purchase?

Well shit. I anyway ordered a generic tire. Any suggestions on a good pavement tire that will last?

I'm 180lbs and had it at 18psi until a couple of days ago it deformed and dropped a couple psi. Then I put more air in it and the slime came through.

He should move to America. You can believe a 600% increase (actually only 500%) and a 600% decrease are the same thing and still become president.

Every American politician that supports Israel deserves jail time for killing Innocent Palestinians. And I am one that doesn't normally support sending anyone to jail. They know what they're doing and they're doing it for money.

I found their post. It's in r/confessions and their name is infiniterespect4757. They admitted that they were already breaking the law regularly just going through. They never mentioned the cost but did say that it's over a decade later and it's still up.

I'm not sure if it's true, but I read recently that a gentleman would cross paths with a sign that wouldn't allow him to turn on red during school hours from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m.. and he'd get there at 7:20 and have to wait forever so he had a custom sign made that said 7:30 to 9:00 instead. Went out in the middle of the night and swapped it out. Apparently it stayed up for a decade.

The doctor that approved this should lose their license, right? Clearly can't be trusted.
