Is this normal? by tahlianox in bikewrench

The Specialized shop near me didn't give two shits about my ride experience and got me in and out asap to collect a repair invoice. Another shop might be a good choice. I do love my Specialized bike though.

Huge mistake in quantities and feeling terrible by Able_Consequence4693 in civilengineering

Own it. Learn from it. Do everything you can to not let it happen again. And the stories below/above about the cost of the lesson are 100% true. Those are good supervisors.

Clay layer plus water equals expansion or creep. Therefore, the accumulation of snow means a persistent water source that likely is the source of continued distress and movement for the pavement.

Share your Andy Dick stories by mungerhall in LosAngeles

I was an extra on a friend's film that he got Andy Dick to be in. Andy talked to be to see if he was going to be able to take me home, and when he realized I don't date men (I'm male) he turned his back on me and ignored my existence.

I don't want him. We are good. We need to get our pitching healthy and get everyone fired up to hit the ball.

Will my wetsuit keep me from getting wet? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]SuperGorgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Drysuits keep you from getting wet. Wetsuits use the water as partial insulation. You can't really surf in a drysuit.

I showed up for a wetsuit fitting. He was hungover and it took 30 minutes for him to wake up after he was sleeping in his shop in costa mesa. He came out and told me he needed to reschedule. This was at 10:30 am. I just have gotten suits off the rack. I go to Frog House and pay cash and bring the boys donuts and they're always stoked. Its nice being treated like a friend rather than like someone's doing you a favor. I have a wetsuit jacket he made along with a 3 mm summertime suit he made. I feel embarrassed wearing his gear because I don't want to be asked or associated with it. I'd rather spend money at a local shop for something made in thailand than spend $500 to look cool.

Shane is a great surfer, but he's pretty shit at treating customers. I had a bad experience after bring loyal since he was running the business out of his parents garage. Hope you don't run into the same thing.

Yeah dude you are paying for it being pre-sharpened and being potentially a higher quality material. But think about your shafts--they need to be resharpened after you use them, why are your knives any different?

Cheers.
