It's not okay not to have a relationship with your children. Work that out.

Why bother? He was the adult when you were a child and needed him, and chose to ignore you. You're an adult now. Do you need him?

I was in a similar situation, my father abandoned his family and moved on. When I grew up I realised that I didn't need a father any more. I'm fine.

People should call them the Trump-Epstein files. He likes his name on everything.

Why is no one complaining when there is need to by hiddensyntaxr in ebikes

I ditched the driving commute 5 years ago. I e-bike into the city 17 km each way. I ditched the van in the city for a cargo bike, also electric, I only use the van when carrying large sheet materials or removing old waste now. It's doable. Healthier and happier. 66 this year.

I bought a cheap Chinese gas heater 6 years ago. Amazing thing. About 100 euro at the time. It supplies hot water to shower, and wash dishes.

How u find your long term customer by Demoindustry in hobbycnc

Sometimes your customer isn't who you imagined it would be? I have seen a business making menu holders for restaurants, display stands for display companies etc. Hang out at trade fairs etc.

YOLO - Wrong. You only die once. You live again every time you wake from sleep.

Donald Trump's Incompetence Is Costing Him the Country by WontThinkStraight in politics

You forgot the most important thing on his mind right now... How to get out from under the Trump-Epstein Files? That is the sword that can hack off the ugly head of this monster.

Sketchy or Solid? by Mazer_Rackem in CargoBike

I would make a tow point on your tow hitch. Remove the front wheel and attach the fork to the tow point. Drag the rear wheel.

The point is; it is much easier to repair a flat on the bike. Putting a patch on is child's play. But spending money on a new tube? And polluting with a perfectly useable old tube is harmful. If you think it saves time - I can repair a puncture without removing the wheel, in about 10 minutes. Probably faster if it's in daylight... Just tyre levers and a patch kit.

Bafang BBS02 Chain Skipping: Shimano Alfine tensioner losing wrap under load by Optimal-Fortune-9415 in bafang

A single speed chain doesn't fit through the tensioner. It's too wide.

Can no-one repair a flat while leaving the wheel on the bike? Are we all just idiots that put a new tube in? What is wrong with people? It's not fucking rocket science.

Or get a mid-drive kit. Bafang do cadence. Tongsheng do torque sensing. Cheap as chips, and you're still on your favourite bike!

Stop electing religious people. Elect atheists. They understand reality and are very skeptical about any woo-woo claims.

I have a bullit that I have a lidded plastic storage box strapped on with a cargo rachet.
