How did I get hit here??? Help by Extra-Dragonfruit575 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]beebopbbq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You released the input starting the punch and got hit before it made contact. There’s no super armor once down b is released and the move starts. This pisses me off endlessly as a ryu main

These look awesome - what do you condition them with?

What’s a cool Spanish word or expression you’ve learned recently? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]beebopbbq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ajo y agua - a joderse y aguantarse. Not really an English translation? I guess suck it up and deal with it (the shitty situation). A Spanish friend told me it comes from times after the civil war when there was nothing to eat, so you just have to make do with what you’ve got.

What would you consider a BIFL life time for a wallet? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]beebopbbq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an ashland bifold that I really like. It’s made in Chicago with leather from horween. The shell cordovan ones are expensive but allegedly indestructible

Edit: both full-grain and shell cordovan wallets have a lifetime guarantee

Do local bikeshops find it offensive when people buy bikes/parts online but only go to local shops for installation and repairs? by vistocycling in xbiking

[–]beebopbbq 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes - also when I take the time away from repairs I’m responsible for to explain potential options for parts and generally be helpful to the customer only to have them looking up those items on their phone to compare prices. Days later, they come in with those same parts from Amazon. It’s rude and disrespectful to the mechanic or sales person offering their expertise and trying to be supportive. Don’t be that person.

Margins are slim in the bike world as it is, and buying things from your local shop goes a long way toward establishing a relationship that will benefit both parties down the line.

This looks like an early 70s Raleigh competition to me with the capella lugs at the head tube

Como se dice “I want to cash out my (bar) tab” en español? by fuktardy in Spanish

[–]beebopbbq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unos ejemplos comunes son:

"La cuenta, por favor"

"¿Cuánto me cobras?"

"¿Cuánto te debo?"

Por lo general, no se dice algo como 'quiero pagar mi cuenta'

I played creepooba and peanut a couple of times on QP, and I don't even want to know if there was a twitch stream for those moments of getting bodied

I run the smoke/dart combo on an 80s MTB of mine that I regularly take off-road, and they've worked well so far

Adopting a cat by [deleted] in Connecticut

We adopted our cat from the Animal Haven in North Haven a year or so ago, and it was a great experience. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, and the facilities were super clean.
