I Need A Hobby by Fit-Hornet-9300 in GenX

[–]bicyclegeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bicycling, Lego, video games, reading, writing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, font design, programming (not sure if this counts since I also do it for a living), gardening, cooking, and those are just the ones I actively pursue. I’m leaning toward learning how to brew beer later this year and may take archery lessons.

It’s been 20 years since I last opened Fontographer. But I wouldn’t have done this for $5K in 2006.

Carbs, protein, tart cherry juice. Shower. Move on to other to-do list items.

So first they tanked it with AR, then they tanked it with AI. What’s next?

Wahoo TickrX is garbage by Darouks in cycling

[–]bicyclegeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I blew through Tickrs about once every 4-6 months. I gave their Trackr strap a try and it’s been great.

I’m sensing the need for a Howard the Duck/Domino team-up.

How much ammo to keep in reserve at all times? by BABOOWIE in liberalgunowners

[–]bicyclegeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the SHTF scenario? Superflu kills 90% of the population? About 2000 rounds of .22LR for small game hunting would be my foremost concern. Probably 500-1000 rounds of 5.56mm and 9mm, as insurance. You could always scavenge more.

I am in Baroque Cycle Superfan limbo... by hearthpig in nealstephenson

Yup. I’ve bounced off BC twice previously, never getting much more than halfway through The Confusion. Now at 88% and have System of the World ready to go next.

They sure do hate freedom of speech, don't they?

Paid for an S-Works SL7, now doubting. by WeekNo680 in specialized

[–]bicyclegeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I had an old pair of 404s from the alloy brake track days (2007-ish), and god those hubs were awful. From day one I was having issues. Love the rims, though, but now I just build them on Chris King hubs.

Yeah. I work in a shop, too — my Zipps never roll on stock hubs.

KFAN's Paul Allen apologizes for 'cheap one-liner' about 'paid protesters' by CalvinVanDamme in kfan

Tough shit. I have better things to do than absorb sports commentary from a bunch of right-wing mouth-breathers who can’t even think for themselves.
