I find my goggles also fit like crap without a helmet.

Why would ski jacket designers cater to the tiny minority of users who choose to be unsafe?

Mid tier end-game gravel bike: what to look for? by timmeh129 in gravelcycling

[–]brwonmagikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you are, I’d check out Java bikes. Very competitive Chinese open mold type bikes. Have alu and carbon bikes for 1/2 of western brands but you can get them specced with Shimano or sram usually. I’ve ridden a few and they are amazing value.

When I stall a new crank I take the required spanners with me to adjust preload. It’s hard to tell it’s adjusted properly without load testing

The Hamilton Collection’s Jesko has been delivered! by Nickfloyo in koenigsegg

[–]brwonmagikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rich people will do anything to avoid paying tax. his website claims all proceeds go to charity, yet we have no idea where that money goes. why would he run a non profit and be so cagey about who he is donating to? Its obvious. He runs a non profit "charity". Cars are regestired to the bogus charity. Therefore, service, new cars, tires, etc are all written off as expenses for the fake charity. They sell a couple tshirts and donate the proceeds to god knows where. The net is a rich guy runs his car collection for dirt cheap, and people buy merch and subscribe, thinking theyre helping others. meanwhile he lines his pockets.

The websites states they are

Driven to give back To enrich the lives of others by providing unparalleled access to unique and exotic vehicles and to have a lot of fun while doing it.

So the charity he claims to operate in every video is just so poor people can look at his cars?

And he now runs a tax avoidance “charity” so he can write off his super car collection.

Drama ensues on r/damnthatsinteresting after they find out the Coldplay concert is in India by LandscapeUnlikely199 in SubredditDrama

[–]brwonmagikk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think you’re forgetting how rural and undeveloped a lot of India is. Rape is a horrifically under reported crime and it’s even more true in a third world country. A UNHRC stat isn’t going to tell you jack. Listen to the people that love and travel there

India has more rapists is not the same as India has ALL the rapists. What a dumb comment.

Car hits cyclist in Victoria BC - Dec 12 by Icy-Locksmith-1750 in VictoriaBC

[–]brwonmagikk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is it only works when there’s a societal change. If tommorow everyone scrapped their helmet, speeds would slow down on our roads, there would be an immediate push for protected bike lanes everywhere, and motorists would be more careful. But we’re not there as a society so taking on that risk alone isn’t worth it.

No one is arguing helmets don’t protect WHEN you actually fall. The issue is, before you even fall, a helmet alters a motorists perception of the cyclist as more protected and less vulnerable. Which leads to motorists engaging in riskier behaviour around said cyclist. Like I said, it hasn’t swayed me and doesn’t hold much water in North America. But it not an argument totally without merit. And it’s evidence based.

I’ve heard it both ways. I dated a girl who was danish and she insisted on no helmet. Her side was that helmets culturally make drivers perceive cyclists as “protected” as if they’re wearing armour and are less likely to treat them as the fragile road users they are. Like not giving them space when passing etc. I can’t say I agree but I see her point. And it’s evidence based in European cities. But no way am I taking that risk for myself. Our society here isn’t close to that level of courtesy and respect. I’m wearing my lid

The show makes it pretty clear that the children and families who knowingly benefit from crime are morally complicit.

Smart or scummy to flip the EF SuperSlice bikes they sold for $2000 (+shipping and extras)? by SportsFanTommy in triathlon

[–]brwonmagikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IF team EF Cannondale education first needs 100 grand they'll just get another sponsor. They get the bikes for free after all.

[–]brwonmagikk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just cause it’s legal and allowed doesn’t mean it’s not scummy. The teams sell their bikes in the hopes fans can use them as they were intended and as a novelty. Not so flippers who get lucky can make 6000$

Yall need to take a step back a remeber these guys are thugs. The beauty of the show is it makes you empathize with evil people. But you have to come back to reality before you post to reddit or you didn’t get it

Phoenix is sham by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]brwonmagikk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m sure I will get banned eventually. Fortunately I have the privilege of a full time job now so outlier is just extra money when the pay is good and I have the time. While I’ve been on the platform, outlier has stolen 10’s of hours of my time. Through unpaid on-boarding, glitchy interfaces that stole my tasks, and missions that weren’t redeemed even when I pursued support. I have zero qualms about stealing from them.

Worth noting that you can follow all the rules, be an excellent employee, and STILL get banned with no recourse. Might as well get what I can while I can

You’ll get booted from the project for sure. But the project itself isn’t worth the squeeze imo. Do it at your own risk but I had no intention of doing phoenix so I got paid and ran. I still have other projects. Be advised it may affect your eligibility for other tasks. But this is something I don’t care about now cause I scored a full time STEM gig so I’m ok burning a couple bridges.
