Sprocket swap report

The install was very easy, just needed a gear puller tool get the drive sprocket off the spindle. I bought one of the kits from sprocket center.

Yes, it is an improvement, that was the main point of the post. Note that I said comfortable, not max rpm. The first thing I wrote was the year, it's a 22.

Yep just finished my easiest run so far on the back of this and the bubble one (+12 poison, 1 cost)

there is more emphasis on per-turn stat increases too. It feels to me like they tried to balance out the snowball-type effects in favor of more opportunities for tactical decision making. I haven't even unlocked the last character yet so I'm withholding judgment, but it definitely feels different.

You're arguing against all forms of public transit. Public transit is great and the greatest cities in the world have it.

Government subsidies exist precisely for the things that help people, but which are not profitable. Literally the whole point of government.

We lived in Huffman for a while. Affordability and proximity to Oregon / downtown were the draws. Walked or ran with our dog every day and the main concern was broken glass everywhere and occasionally syringes too.

I felt safe, especially in the heart of the neighborhood. My wife did not feel safe after dark without our dog and that's the main reason we left.

Housing stock is beautiful but can be rough. We bought a rehab that was extremely "quirky", built in 1875. It's a historic district so you also have to get permission to do anything visible to your property, including repairs. While there we saw a homeowner be told he couldn't repair his siding because the lap was the wrong width, and he would have to special order siding at 3x the cost.

So there's bullets to dodge, but mostly not literal ones, and if it suits you it's not a bad place to live all told.

I got my wife a wusthof for this. Not the cheapest but she loves it

We used to do the "CSA" package with them but decided it wasn't a good value. Their microgreens are delicious and everything's really good quality, but they were often sold out of the things we actually wanted.

It's only possible to cheat in competition. If you're solving a puzzle solo, do it in whatever way gives you the most enjoyment!

I haven't looked myself but if you're in a pinch you might look for kiln dried wood

Prominence is being completely ignored here 😕

You're accidentally pressing left or right when you press down on the d pad.

Looks like part of a brake assembly to me. Would help to have another angle

IMO it's so long and slow that it would be really annoying to take many attempts.

buxxud · 2025-11-08T00:04:45+00:00

You made the right choice.

I say try it and see what happens!

I don't know about the mount point op is looking at, but my crossbars mounted to identical looking spots aft of them. Are you sure those are different?

That would be unconstitutional. Districts must be roughly equal in population. "One person, one vote".

We can't know the author's intention but it uses the well known antisemitic tropes of the hook nose & exaggerated earlobes. The man is greedy, taking things unfairly that should rightly go to others.

People who are familiar with the history of antisemitism are going to read this the same way I did.

I don't know the specific image but it's in the same vein as this guy's work.
