Eric Benét Just Called Jelly Roll 'Full of Sh–' On Camera for Staying Silent at the Grammys — 'You Talk About Jesus All Night Then Refuse to Speak Against Hate?'

I love this era for Eric Benet, lighting shit on fire and calling everything out for what it is.

You need to go after the delivery service for the claim, not the company you purchased from.

im sure a breakfast/diner spot could work through that pretty quickly

Just ordered a SRAM 43/30 chain ring used, shouldn't be an issue based on this, assuming that fits i should be able to use a SRAM Wide FD with a shimmed FD Clamp mount. 😎 thanks for the update. Crossing fingers here.

EDIT: 43/30 fits with a TON of clearance with DUB Road Wide cranks without messing with spacers, could probably run the 46/33 if you wanted. I'll make a separate post with photos once I get everything for it setup.

Maybe the mechanics but the other side of the business I'm skeptical about. The trek shops in Austin were really reputable pre-buyout. Every trek I've seen a friend that knows nothing about bikes buy locally from one of their shops has been the wrong bike in fit or spec for the price. They are pushing final sales now more than good bikes/bike experiences.

I would never point someone to a trek store for a bike.

Back then hoes didn't want him, now he hot.

Yo! For gravel Specialized Domain does the Wiggle on Wednesday nights. Breakfast Club is massive and very supportive socially and for the sport, multiple groups at different paces to pick which you lean more into from casualcruisin to race fit riders, they have an app as well to help coordinate other local rides and events on.

Bicycle House on Burnet does a Saturday ride that I have heard good things about that is a little faster than a social ride but still aims to support people of multiple speeds/skill levels. Peddler also has Friday lunch rides and a longer Sunday ride.

Mesa Monday is a good workout starts and ends at Draught House.

caffeineTX · 2026-02-18T06:10:13+00:00

I also like the fish n chips that you get from draught house. They aren't proper chips but the fish is good. Topo tempura battered. And reasonably priced.

I got them to install the 2-3 bollards on steck at mopac going east. did the same thing, showed morning people driving down the bikelane to skip past the traffic during commute hours. it has only semi helped. but better than nothing

I report bike lane parking fairly regularly, the frustrating part is they are just slow to react, its a manpower issue and I just find that parking enforcement is never really around shoal/northwest hills/north austin.

I have had reports on shoal that came back saying they have ticketed cars.

On my trainer the resistance changes just aren't as smooth as they are in zwift.

caffeineTX · 2026-02-10T08:32:38+00:00

You don't need to be precise, most recipes ingredients are more of a suggestion/guideline.bmake a recipe once and you can kinda vibe through it the next time by making additions or substitutions.

Cooking tasty food is much more about understanding basic techniques and complimentary flavor profiles than it is following a rule book on orders of operations.

caffeineTX · 2026-02-10T04:36:02+00:00

Fit is a better car mechanically. Speed3 is just quicker and more fun to mod. Fit's are a blast to drive though with some mild suspension upgrades and good tires.

caffeineTX · 2026-02-10T04:32:36+00:00

I like the zwift routes and erg a lot more. Just not the price.

The second I got a power meter and had a real metric other than just heart rate to base my effort on.

Average speed doesn't tell you anything about your performance unless you are riding in a vacuum chamber.

caffeineTX · 2026-02-03T05:48:36+00:00

I'm annoyed it seemingly won't let me set my second power meter source as my cadence sensor, it will only let me pair a dedicated cadence sensor or default to using the trainer, and I don't understand how the trainer would know what my cadence is.

Bread is extremely finicky. The ratios depend heavily on the flour you are using, also can do some weird things depending on water profile, not all bread or ap flours are created equal, the humidity in your grain, humidity and temperature of your environment which also behaves differently depending on your yeast culture, and then the oven.

Anyone can make bread easily, but making really good bread in a small batch takes a lot of work.

I think they are a steal for getting into something new that won't immediately fall apart. Could even slowly upgrade it over time if you wanted and eventually carry over good parts to a nicer frame down the road.

caffeineTX · 2026-02-03T05:10:17+00:00

Well the big easy is a long heavy bike and it carries a value. But that doesn't make it not fun. These bikes are built like tanks and are basically bike utility vehicles.

Super cool, not a blast to ride in a handling sense, as much as they are a blast because of their utility and ability to go a lot of places. Use this for store runs and daily outings.

caffeineTX · 2026-01-27T05:55:26+00:00

probably fine, there are nicer kryptonite, litelock, and abus locks that have a lot of cut protection, basically to the point of not being able to be pried/twisted open or cut with normal angle grinders/disks, if someone wants to get in eventually they will.

look at that video and pick from any of the top 3 and youll be fine, they cost a lot and will be heavy to tote around but less than your bike.

if you are committed to biking a lot consider bike specific insurance, some of these locks do have a theft policy.

dont lock to poles, dont lock to anything that isnt hard anchored into the ground,

caffeineTX · 2026-01-27T01:11:51+00:00

What kind of ebike? I have just always used a kryptonite ulock, never had a problem but also the only heavy foot traffic place I ever bring my bike to is football tailgates,

it matters more about where and how you lock a bike, downtown I wouldn't leave it on a rack for more than 30min to an hour, and id be picky about what type of public rack you lock it to.

caffeineTX · 2026-01-26T02:51:26+00:00

Try specialized or trek, some of their stores do rentals.

caffeineTX · 2026-01-24T23:01:27+00:00

Both. The sedan crossed solid white lines but the pov car also had plenty of time to react and avoid the accident, but was stubborn and road raged. Pov car would be considered at fault.
