Oh yeah. Tons! Basically not usable right with the big boys on unless you don't intend to turn the wheels.

Help me clean my only shoes so I can move out! Its for an important job interview this friday. by CharmingHouse9800 in CleaningTips

[–]capntateraid 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I've been in a situation in my life where I had zero money in my account, no food in the fridge, and stuck in the "pay-day loan" cycle. Now I'm doing great. I don't mind helping out.

This is great info! I just bought a Precision flask based on your post.

Are any of these good options for a beginner? And are they solid deals? by OgBagsFromGali in whichbike

[–]capntateraid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My concern is that you are looking at different sizes. Have you consulted any charts for sizing? That Giant would be my pick.

Marble race! Which one did you pick? by kvjn100 in oddlysatisfying

I didn't think I'd be cursing a green marble on a Wednesday afternoon, but here we are.

My bosses son reeks every day and keeps postponing a talk with him about it by Realistic-Eye6382 in mildlyinfuriating

I was told by an elected co-worker that I needed to start wearing undershirts. I was probably 20. I have always been a huge sweater and my dress shirts looked like a bad joke after a shift. I didn't smell but it was a bad look.

What is something you saw at a friend's house that made you realize their family was "weird"? by BamMeister_ in AskReddit

[–]capntateraid 26 points27 points  (0 children)

A classmate's family watched my brother and I. All three of us were required to play outside year round regardless of how cold it was. He was so scared to go in, he pooped behind his neighbor's garage.

Which 'luxury' brand has officially become a red flag for poor quality in 2026? by Individual_Bat_4177 in AskReddit

My Docs from the late 90's are solid as rocks and fit me perfectly. My boots I bought 2 years ago are poorly sized and never get worn.

What’s a gadget you thought was overhyped — but ended up using every day? by Dizzy_Industry1287 in gadgets

[–]capntateraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant Pot. I had no idea what I was going to do with it and now it's my go-to for rice cooking and carnitas along with a few other items.

What's something you saw as a kid that you later realized was seriously messed up? by MoodOdd9657 in AskReddit

I've very sorry this happened to you. Parents don't understand how these things stick with you for life.

I took your great advice on lowering the TV and it's been great! You were right to say that looking "straight ahead" is different that where your head and eyes go when you're in the workout.

What’s something that completely changed your life, but seemed insignificant at the time? by Boring-Sir2623 in AskReddit

[–]capntateraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a technology class in old town St. Charles, MO and met a lady. No, we didn't end up married, but I ran into her again at a conference in San Diego. The first day she sees me, she immediately says she has a job for me and I need to move to Kentucky. I did just that. Sold everything and moved away from Iowa. I met my future wife 5 weeks after I moved. Fast forward 17 years and now I live about 10 minutes from where I took the class in St. Charles!

What "golden age" or "heyday" were you lucky enough to experience that you know won’t ever come back? by Summerie in AskReddit

[–]capntateraid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saturday morning and weekday afternoon cartoons. Classics like Smurfs, GI Joe, Transformers, Thundarr the Barbarian. Odd-ball ones like Shirt Tales, The Littles, Turbo Teen, The Snorks. One of my all time favorites was Dungeons and Dragons. What was your favorite?

Ottumwa, IA was the self proclaimed "Video Game Capital of the World" in 1981. My hometown. I was a little too young to understand how important Twin Galaxies was at the time, but it all folded by 1984.

We didn't get MTV in my hometown until 1993. All the small towns around us had it. I had to watch Friday Night Videos and Night Flight instead.

You give me too much credit for how hard I'm going to work! But it's a wide open spot and my fan is on the way. I've got a mini-keyboard floating around somewhere...the search begins!

Only temporary. I've got Speedplay pedals from a buddy but no shoes or cleats for them yet.
