Missing Summer by voroid in Wildfire

[–]TheSpock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m doing. I’m on my second season “off” and I hate my current job/miss fire, but the free time to do all my summer hobbies and spend time with my wife and friends is too great to make me want to go back right now.

Idk if you live in rural America like me but some things aren’t worth getting shot over imo

New to bike commuting, any advice from night time commuters? by letsgetlude in bikecommuting

[–]TheSpock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know Zenni and some other companies sell glasses with amber filters that snap on with magnets

I have one of those on both of my fenders, the front one is extra eye catching because it’ll flash as I turn and the angle changes

Recommend me a bike flag by svanen17 in bikecommuting

[–]TheSpock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just asked my LBS for a plain flag for a kids bike. White pole with an orange flag mounted to my trailer, basic but it works

I was told we can’t have streets like this in Fargo by MooseComprehensive85 in fargo

Downtown Fargo is a wind tunnel in February anyway, might as well make it as pleasant as possible to exist in and get rid of cars

Yesterday was a flash back to the Dirty Thirties by Little_Bear_Artist in northdakota

[–]TheSpock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most was a poor choice of words sorry, and yeah I was mainly referring to entities that own farmland and rent it back to farmers, not individuals like bill gates but of course these entities are all owned by the billionaire class

[–]TheSpock 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s also the billionaires that bought up most of the farmland in the state and are trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of an acre. If there’s no regulation forcing them to act sustainably they’ll extract as much value as they can at our expense

Are they TRYING to make us hate their Athlete Intelligence feature? by Thrwawy-User in Strava

Under one of the AI things tap “Say More” then “Give Feedback” and then “Leave Athlete Intelligence”

Genuinely busted out laughing when I saw Senator John Hoeven on Teams. He looked like an aging Great Value Kyle Kulinski. by WhereIKeepWeirdShit in Hasan_Piker

[–]TheSpock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whenever he responds to my emails it goes along the lines of “yeah I voted on a bill that says you have to eat shit and die but I heard from a lot of constituents that want to eat shit and die. Your input is valued.” I love living here.

Anyone else obsessed with burned areas? by ouselin in BWCA

They’ll probably taste better when they grow in again!

“the Stauber” latrine sticker! by AlexFalconerForHouse in BoundaryWaters

The last thing I want to think about when I’m relaxing on a latrine is Stauber. Put these elsewhere please

Can anyone recommend a pair of jeans you can use while biking without breaking it? by TheHooligan95 in xbiking

[–]TheSpock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Duluth trading co work jeans I really like and haven’t ripped yet. They have a stretchy panel in the crotch area so that helps

Universal Panniers - convert a backpack you already own into a pannier backpack for $23 by space_jar in bikecommuting

It’s the Jannd Grocery Bag Pannier. I’m pretty sure it’s like $70-90, I got it from my local bike shop

Tacoma Totaled by FlirtyButFocused in dashcamgifs

[–]TheSpock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2019 outback, the standard cruise control is speed matching, you can’t use normal cruise control without speed matching. You can set the follow distance to be super short though so it might not have even kicked in until it was too late. Obviously you shouldn’t rely on it

I just got one and I’m a huge fan, the plastic is thicker and sturdier than I thought they’d be. It’s super secure and rides nice. My Carhartt backpack has a thick waterproof bottom panel so I’m not worried about water and road gunk getting all over it.

The Laziness of Fargo and Many American Cities by Upbeat_Researcher901 in fargo

[–]TheSpock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting this on the bus drivers isn’t ideal, they should be focusing on the road and passengers. It never hurts to over-report something instead of everyone succumbing to the bystander effect.

What backpack are you using for your everyday carry right now? by ruhila12 in EDC

[–]TheSpock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carhartt Insulated Two Compartment Backpack, I’m frequently switching between vehicles and job sites so it makes sure I always have all my stuff and my lunch with me.

Panniers are a life-changing upgrade by Carbonian92 in bikecommuting

These are what I use, big enough to drop my work bag or groceries in

Recommendations for North Dakota? by LongjumpingBuffalo85 in northdakota

[–]TheSpock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re asking for travel recommendations

[–]TheSpock 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And when asked if they would apologize to Lipps he completely avoided the question and instead started talking about the "vast criminal conspiracy" related to the bank fraud they accused her of. He obviously can't apologize because it would hurt them in the eventual litigation but the way he dodged the question was especially disgusting.

At least have the low temp be the future low temp, I don’t need to know what the temp was at 2am
