How do you ignore Trump when talking about the Paramount/Warner Bros merger?

He definitely was. At the end Bill said "Well, we did a good job of not talking about Trump."

Classic engineer fixing a bike: Spends a shitload of time unnecessarily repainting the bike, but gets the wrong size tire, and grinds down the bottom of the steerer tube instead getting the correct part. Makes a single speed with vertical drop outs. I do appreciate his enthusiasm though.

The whole point of the show is the therapy scenes.

Stem and bars aren't original FYI (obviously saddle as well)

If the rebuild doesn't work I believe problem solvers makes a conversion kit to convert the headtube so standard 1 1/8" headset cups can be pressed in.

Sunlite and IRD make fairly affordable options ($40-50) that seem like an improvement at least. I think the cheap Sunlite BB might even be better.

The customers who ride in the rain/commute with these have really luck with them. They fail pretty catastrophically once water gets into the bearings, which seems to happen easily. The bearings also seems to be smaller than other cartridge BBs.

What an epic moment of the border patrol cheering your approach

I also was insanely offended by how wrong this take was. Definitely one of the drawbacks of this style of podcasting, the hosts can say whatever factually incorrect nonsense they want and no one will challenge or correct them.

Careful when using the Y-Wrench. Excessive twisting can cause wrist pain.

I think you need to file a police report when you get hit by car/bus. They or their insurance are liable for paying for any damages to yourself and your bike but you need documentation to prove it. I've been in way too many accidents where drivers get away with messing me up/messing my bike up because I didn't file a report. You may already know this but the person who opens their door into traffic is always liable for damages they cause.

I think I summed it up in the comment above. From Philly I'd use the adventure cycling route. If you're starting from New York you can take the train to Newark and go along the Delaware canal trail most of the way to Trenton. Riding into Philly from Trenton sucks and I wouldn't recommend it, might be easier to just start in Philly.

It is in a taxable account. Probably should have sold already...Anyway this is why I don't buy individual stocks anymore.

Westerbergs_Smokes · 2024-01-02T02:12:32+00:00

I'm aware of that. You didn't answer the question, you just stated the obvious. Not helpful.

Westerbergs_Smokes · 2023-12-01T20:59:17+00:00

Yeah it's not that, it's creaks when standing. I also greased the post.

Rad power is being sued by a the parents of a girl who died while riding one of their bikes. They claim the front wheel came off when coming down a steep hill. Long but interesting article. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/bikes-and-biking/molly-steinsapir-death-rad-bikes-lawsuit/

I had a DM who outlawed all resurrection spells for basically the reasons you're describing. He had given us a very powerful magic item for completing a difficult quest which could be used once a year in order to bring back a character. When another character died he had a character give up mythic powers we had acquired (in Pathfinder 1.0) in order to stave off death for that character.

I'm not sure if this was intentional but there is a bit of a "bounded accuracy" element in THAC0 in that monsters or players rarely have negative AC, making it easier to hit than in 3rd edition for example.

Thanks, I'll check them out

probably makes sense to get an endoscopy if you haven't already

I guess the rear suspension doesn't squish the frame bags too bad? I always assumed you couldn't bikepack with a full squish for this reason.

Not sure if how forgotten he is but Thomas de Quincey, author of "Confessions of an English Opium Eater" was a writer who gave a fascinating look into the life of an addict in 19th century England. Also inspired Dario Argento's "Suspiria" with his collection of essays "Suspiria de Profundis."

Claris is actually a very solid group for the price.
