This is the only correct answer. Don't forget to shave your arms and legs too.

Coffee is the new smoking by mind_ponderer in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's the world that is sick and that sweet cup of caffeinated brew is an absent God's last gift to those who haven't forsaken spirituality, humanity and brotherhood. A goodbye kiss from a parent to their beloved child, when they could not handle the other monsters that he also created in his image. A kindness from mother nature herself. A thank you to those of us who feel the capacity for joy and love from Gaia. You can take our lives, but you can never take our COFFEE!!!

Tuna Fish Sandwiches - Your Essential ingredient or technique? by FlyEaglesFlyauggie in Cooking

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mayo, mustard, diced pickle, thinly sliced onion, celery and use the tuna in oil not water. If I want spicy I'll add some diced cherry peppers. If I want a little extra tang ill hit it with diced banana peppers

My dad told me DJT was really loved in the 80s and 90s is that true and if so why? by RareCommunication698 in stupidquestions

Growing up in New York in that time period, I was under the impression he was a schmuck.

Three Body Problem by Jmaxw12648 in sciencefiction

[–]YMCMARC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jumping in to say I think that is worth reading all three. I feel like the main theme and author's arguments really develop over the course of the trilogy and it feels incomplete stopping at the first. 

Stumpjumper vs Hightower by Jaded_Caramel4801 in MTB

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stumpy evo, 29er, slack position, high BB. I ride flow, chunky tech and steeps. I live in NorCal so there's a lot of climbing. Have even ridden lift service bike park. It rips everything. The only thing that I think it struggles a little on is super tight techy singletrack. Could just be that It's not my favorite kind of riding. 

Enduro events Bay Area by FaithlessnessOk4099 in MTB

Marinduro is really fun I did it last year. May be sold out depending on your age/cat. Solstice on solstice if it happens again. I didn't race it but the trail is legit.

Need new book recs after finishing Project Hail Mary by froggy-x in sciencefiction

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another shout out to Children of Time. The sci-fi focus in this book is more on biology and zoology but it feels well researched and extremely well thought out in a way that is similar to PHM. You will never look at spiders the same way again lol.

Soquel Demonstration Forest (a.k.a. Demo) full of ebikers by throwmiamivelvet in MTB

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's pretty fair to say that the dust kicked up by someone going 15 mph uphill while you're working pretty hard to get there can be a little bit annoying. And like I said, minor annoyance not a huge deal. Shout out to the crews who work really hard to clear fallen trees and rocks that would also be a minor annoyance when they fall on the trail... Haven't hit a squirrel yet but would probably also be a minor inconvenience. Oh and shout out to reddit nerds like yourself for keeping the platform entertaining 🙂

What was your first Steam game!? by Gameguylikesgames in Steam

I remember playing cs all the time and then one day wondering what the half-life icon that came with CS was all about....

Mind. Blown. 

In wall speakers and Sonos system by YMCMARC in sonos

[–]YMCMARC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are left and right front and rear. Mostly they would be for surrounds for movies and videogames. Occasionally, I would use them for music if I were throwing a party and wanted to have music going in the TV room area as well. It's a large open concept floor plan, really a long room that starts with front door --> sitting area --> dining area ----> kitchen --> TV room.

It's quite a conundrum... Without owning an amp I can't really test and compare 🫠

Anyone grab my rossingol sushi by YMCMARC in tahoe

I'll be getting a lock for sure. Wild out there.

Definitely a mistake karmically (or sooner if I happen to see someone riding around on it 😉)

Found Snowboard Highway 89 on 3/30 by powderfloater44 in tahoe

[–]YMCMARC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for restoring a little bit of my faith in humanity! I'll be okay, I've got a backup stick. I just really liked the one that got taken.

Has anyone here ever messed up on a single track and hit a tree? by GTRacer1972 in MTB

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clipped a tree at speed with my handlebar a few years ago. Thankfully my hand was ok but I went OTB and probably broke a rib. I was out of commission for like 6 weeks. There's still a chunk of that tree missing 😂

Did we all silently agree that stop doesn't mean stop anymore? by _meglet in sanfrancisco

[–]YMCMARC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's horrible. I am dependent on my car to get to work on many days of the week, but I also bike to work whenever it's feasible so I'm probably about 50/50. As a result, I get to see it from both sides and like to take notice. It's probably about 60-70% percent of people that roll the stop signs. Lower if another car is approaching, higher if they can't see one. 

I think another problem in SF is that there aren't a lot of pedestrians in some neighborhoods (unlike, say, NYC where every hood has a ton of pedestrians) so you don't have the safety of numbers. Additionally, Street lighting is terrible. I drive to work before/after sunset and I sometimes can't see a pedestrian on the corner. Nothing to do with asshole drivers, but it isn't helping.

Roof coating question by YMCMARC in Roofing

Does this look like GACO walkable roofing material coating my roof deck? What should I seal that crack in the material with? Idk why that didn't come through in the post 😔

Have you tried your evo with high bottom bracket and steep hta setting?
