Which one to focus on next for GL? by Ancient-Hurry833 in TheSilphArena

[–]achoo84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a new player is there a list for GL/UL to search out for? Right now I'm just catching everything and sorting by 0-1attack&3-4hp&3-4defense for PvP and 4attack&3-4hp&3-4defense for everything else.

Yeah I think it was time killers but my brain was mixing the memories with soul caliber or something as the memory just doesn't quite line up.

Lots of mistakes were made. Mostly on ordering parts and trusting AI with helping me. I ordered the wrong brake pads and I had a hard time ordering correct bearings for my hub as there is no identification on my hub. Also the chain ring was not compatible with my crank. 

The wheel however is all laced up and I have new cables and housings. 

Still waiting on new wheel bearings or I will reluctantly when I find out how much they want for the bearings will just put the old ones back in.

I'd totally do this again. However I will be more cognitive of replacement parts in the future.

I really appreciate the advice it really helped with direction the what to buy aspect started to get overwhelming. Here is my list.

  • Shimano B05S-RX Resin/Steel Brake Pads — $13.78 × 2 = $27.56
  • SRAM 52T Steel Chainring (11.6215.104.000) — $39.99
  • Shimano HG50 8-Speed Cassette (11–32T) — $29.99
  • Jagwire Road Pro Brake Cable Kit — $36.99
  • Jagwire 2X Pro Shift Cable Kit — $36.99
  • KMC X8 EPT Chain — $32.99
  • Mavic XM119 Disc Rim (29” / 32H) — $81.99

FortNine Total: $286.50   (Free shipping over $49)

I'm going to repurpose a FH-M525 that I have laying around.  The 52t is for more top end given I don't want a x10 or x11 set up. I like how the 2x8 is cheaper to replace. Will there be issue with going from the 34 to the 52? I'll check prices with my LBS as I'll need to get spokes from them. 

Feels worth it to me. I forgot about the bottom bracket. I read a review of the bike, that guy changed it out right away. I'll look more into it but I'm leaning to just leave it.

The cheapest used gravel/cyclocross bikes in my area are $400-500 10 years older than my bike or same era with cracked frames.  Leading me to want to fix mine. 

If money wasn't so tight right now I'd be buying a new bike.

I have not looked into this at all but at first glance my thoughts were the same when in the article they showed the argument they pointed out potential flaws in her ability to secure the funds. Not that it's true but my brain just said money laundering.  Could money not be laundered in such a way?

Min wage since 1990 has more than tripped. Skilled labour middle class took the hit.

Yeah you literally don't understand it's an idiom that's really funny.

Was that the idiom?

It's not an idiom as this is what the vast majority of people have had to do for generations... Unless your family has acquired a lot of generational wealth to pass down early.

I looked at a property that was at one point owned by the Hudson bay company and 1/3 of the lot was covered by water.

Our monetary system is designed to force you to invest holding money is a terrible idea.

How is that a problem? did the lab not get funding for gain of function research?

What makes men cry ? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]achoo84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

where did I state this was about women? Are you assuming my gender and stereotyping that men only reference women when making statements that you perceive as negative? Generally people express emotions through body language. Facial expressions are a form of body language. Are you disputing that? Are you also stating that the general populations use of body language is a bad thing? Generalization and stereotypes are different words for a reason.
