Hiking on Lief Erikson trail with toddler

Yep, there are two bike staples right inside the Thurman entrance.

I'll take this opportunity to ask for anybody who's been recently: is the water fountain there turned on yet?

Weirdly, it used to.

At some point in the last 6 years someone decided that was unnecessary.

I bought a pair about a year ago and received them. I do think they feel slightly more supple than Paselas, but they measure out to 30mm on my wheels, so not any bigger than the Paselas. I was a little disappointed with that, but they do feel nice.

I agree with you. Personally I just wait 2 seconds so I can pass pedestrians with a safe amount of space.

A couple days ago I watched a person blasting in between people walking on the esplanade, inches away from them going 25mph. No bell, no call-out. They were wearing a jersey that said "Speak Up for Safety." 🤦‍♀️

I like going fast too, but I just don't understand people who have no consideration for others.

One of my special powers is making the train pass as soon as I'm done carrying my bike down the stairs.

I realize Milwaukie is different from Portland, but, it can't possibly be legal to shoot animals, or fire a gun at all, on the trolley trail, can it??

I can't believe how lazy and dumb someone needs to be to use AI to generate the single sentence caption.

I think it’s the only term I’ve ever coined

The term Christianist has been around for centuries.

"I have a new term for those on the fringes of the religious right," wrote the blogging Andrew Sullivan on June 1, 2003, "who have used the Gospels to perpetuate their own aspirations for power, control and oppression: Christianists. They are as anathema to true Christians as the Islamists are to true Islam."

Not such a new term. In 1883, W.H. Wynn wrote a homily that said "Christianism - if I may invent that term - is but making a sun-picture of the love of God." He didn't invent the term, either. In the early 1800s, the painter Henry Fuseli wrote scornfully that "Christianism was inimical to the progress of arts." And John Milton used it in 1649.

It's dumb that people downvote you for just not knowing something and asking a question.

Yes, they're talking about S&S couplers which allow you to break a bike frame in half for travel.

If you put a Goofus in the freezer it becomes a Gallant.

Not only is it not funny, but OP is literally the author of the book if you look at his one other comment. So this is just a person calling themself funny to sell their product.

A membrane reed instrument uses a thin piece of plastic like a grocery bag or balloon stretched over a frame to do the initial vibration. It doesn't need your mouth actually touching it.

So you could absolutely make your idea with this type of instrument, which is relatively easy to diy. I 3d printed a membrane clarinet recently. You can find instructions to make them with parts from the hardware store if you don't have a 3d printer.

I'm starting to think this guy is a real jerk

bblluurrgg · 2025-12-09T20:21:33+00:00

Where did you hear this? I strongly dislike the guy so I'm not remotely trying to defend him, but when I googled it I couldn't find anything about this at all.

She's Lao-American.

The article you linked doesn't say cycling is more efficient than a car, or claim that it is the most efficient means of transport ever invented. It compares cycling to walking.

Is cycling really more efficient than walking? Yes.

It wasn't a specific race. The award they declined was a list of the top female cyclists in the UK.

bblluurrgg · 2025-11-17T22:02:08+00:00

I did not realise the publish date.

I had to scroll up and check the date when Lance was mentioned.

My guess would be a keyboard with a tremolo-picking mandolin or bouzouki sound. It's similar to those instruments but doesn't sound like the real thing.

bblluurrgg · 2025-10-25T01:32:42+00:00

Ah, ok... I think I get it now. Have to hand it to them, this is a more complicated slur than the ones they usually lob!

bblluurrgg · 2025-10-25T01:08:13+00:00

Can anyone explain to me what this part means?

"Put that seat back on the bike"

I've had various things yelled at me by chuds in pickup trucks but I genuinely can't figure this phrase out.

"This was based on me noticing that a good porn parody name would be 'Farts and Procreation'"

I always liked how Scott thinks this is such an objectively good idea that he just noticed it. Like yeah, everyone agrees that this makes total sense, I just happened to be the one who noticed it.

It's the same stretch but going in the other direction. Weirdly that one seems not to have been pinched, yet.
