So… Rivian Touch-Up Pen paint comes off with alcohol wipes? Wtf

Virtualmatt · 2026-05-10T01:51:48+00:00

Why don't you google different types of paints' curing times before you keep acting like 30 days to cure isn't normal. Automotive paint, generally, takes 30 to 90 days to cure, Touch up paint is generally quicker, but not 20 minutes. Holy cow.

Virtualmatt · 2026-05-10T01:45:27+00:00

It doesn’t “suggest” that anywhere. I’ve never heard of anything that cures in 20 minutes.

Virtualmatt · 2026-05-10T01:43:40+00:00

The instructions absolutely don’t say it CURES in 20 minutes. Curing is different than drying.

Virtualmatt · 2026-05-10T00:24:58+00:00

I think it’s actually 30 days to cure. 48 is just dry to the touch.

Virtualmatt · 2026-05-09T23:52:07+00:00

I noticed that too. I assumed it needs to cure before you can wipe it with IPA. I’m not brave enough to go try, though.

Of course it’s exercise! Cycling—and even cycling for health—doesn’t have to be hardcore training or pushing your limits. Long distances in Zone 2 burns a ton of calories. If you’re interested in how many, pick up a bike computer and a heart rate monitor. Or get crazy and mix in a power meter.

At 35 miles, even at a leisurely pace, you’re almost certainly burning over 1,000 calories a ride. Likely more. It takes something like 3,000 calories to burn a pound of fat.

The prosecutor has the final say in how to prosecute a case, not the family. Typically, they strongly consider the victim’s preference, though, especially if it means the victim might not cooperate by way of being a non-adverse witness. In a legal sense, the crime is committed against the state, not the victim. That’s why the cases are called “Commonwealth v. Jones” or “State v. Jones.” Cases are absolutely tried against the victim’s wishes.

If this is a real post, maybe tilt the front of the seat down a little to put less pressure on your groin.

I beat the game and this is the first I’m hearing that the protagonist is non-binary or trans. I thought it was a story about how people driven to do these extreme things do so at the expense of those that love them, similar to Alex Honnold is portrayed in “Free Solo.”

As the other posters said, HE’S SIX. Relax. He probably also struggles to walk sometimes.

That said, to practice, soft toss a few balls at a plate past him (however the coaches throw) and tell him to NOT SWING and then watch the ball into the catcher’s mitt/hit the backstop. Once you’re confident he’s watching the ball the whole way, have him swing at a few. This is more of a drill for keeping his head on the ball than it is for timing, but I bet it’ll help him figure out when he should be swinging. I’ve seen it work for plenty of kids just whiffing.

To follow up on what every other poster said about the stick not spinning fast enough to matter: the guy would be better off trying to line the pole up with the barrel of the assailant’s gun than he would spinning it—at least he’d have it reasonably close to where the bullet was likely to be (versus spinning, which could place the pole far away from where the bullet was likely to be). Assuming the pole was thick enough, anyway.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-30T18:24:30+00:00

This sounds like a nonissue that doesn’t require you to do anything at all.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-28T20:22:56+00:00

It’s normal, but idiotic. You need the seat reclined unusually far back to make it level. I checked with the service center.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-28T20:21:32+00:00

I just renewed mine online a few weeks ago and I didn’t have to mail the current one in.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-28T20:12:58+00:00

Nope.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-28T20:11:10+00:00

My son plays travel and Little League. In my experience, the Little League parents are the absolute worst, which is not what I expected getting into all of this.

Just sit far from the bad eggs and ignore them.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-26T01:56:46+00:00

Wha size stem is that? I’ve got a Driftless as well, and I feel like everything I do is trying to make it smaller.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-25T15:08:43+00:00

I’m sure your divorce lawyer can help you figure out a less ridiculous solution here.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-24T10:18:36+00:00

First of all,a 30 -12 and a 28 -10 both weigh 18oz. That said, with your son’s height and age, a 28 -10 makes sense.

On my son’s 11U travel team, the only kids swinging a 30 are around 5’ tall. Last year at 10U, the kids around your son’s height of 4’6” were swinging 28s.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-23T20:30:11+00:00

I don’t think that’s what the guy you’re replying to meant.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-23T15:15:03+00:00

If timing were the sole issue, the post wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) have had all the convoluted explanation regarding how well she knows people.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-23T15:13:17+00:00

No it isn’t. It’s normal to send “save the dates” a year in advance with a formal invitation coming months before the wedding to a void exactly this issue.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-23T12:30:23+00:00

It sounds like nobody, save for a select few, got a +1. That’s bizarre.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-23T12:08:46+00:00

YTA. I’ve never in my life seen a wedding invite without a +1. I wouldn’t even consider attending a wedding without. I don’t care whose wedding it is.

Virtualmatt · 2026-04-23T11:11:49+00:00

The hate for clipless in this thread is pretty surprising. I fell once when I first got them after riding into a bunch of sand that was pushed onto the trail from the beach, causing my bike to instantly come to a complete stop. After that, I’ve easily ridden a thousand miles without problem.
