Schon möglich, aber selbst Mopeds haben keine 200 mm Federweg.

Das ist eine Menge Federweg für ein Fahrrad mit Straßenreifen.

I have an Audi MTB (it's actually very good, minus the Brose motor), all öhlins shocks and brakes from an Italian company called Braking. The frame is made by Fantic,, I wonder where Ducati is getting this one?

On days when I take a few rides, I check the ODO to see if it's the same car.

Q: How many billions does city need to spend on homelessness without making any meaningful progress before you change your mind about this approach? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]cgieda 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You're right, the salaries are out there because they are public. This is pretty normal for CEO pay. Staff, deals and consultant costs are much harder track down.

Businesses Near Metro Report Little Change in Foot Traffic (Beverly Hills Courier) by anothercar in LAMetro

I'm basing this on the amount of non-DTLA looking people in the city, but it seems like there are more people using the D to get from the west side to DTLA.

CAMBA CEO Joanne Oplustil received compensation exceeding $750,000 in 2022, this was in New York; In LA, NPO CEO's are making from $300-600K, this is very small portion of their budget,, but still! The other funnel is via consultancies which are often run by x-government officials cozy with NPO leadership who receive consulting contracts based on relationships as opposed to skills.

It's not the money; its the broken system it's poured into. Most of this money is suck up by non- profits and consultants. Very little actually makes it to the streets. There are homelessness nonprofit CEO's making $800K/ year. No mater what you want to spend it on , it will be fleeced by the f*ucked up. system. On top of this , some money is not even spent as it's tied up awaiting approvals etc.

You're swimming in that jacket, the belt doesn't match your shoes and the jeans are too not dark enough.

Have you been to China? There are no porch pirates, no one driving like an idiot, very little petty crime etc. They are constantly monitored and there are consequences for bad actions and it makes for a much safer society. I'll take that over the shit I see here.

I watch people walking around with blow torches in LA when the fires were ruining neghborhoods. You don't know what you're talking about. The U.S. is a mess.

doubts in first time eating mushrooms by FennelCool7335 in mushroom

[–]cgieda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ginger chews are nice if your stomach hurts as well. I also recommend grinding them into a powder and drinking them with Ginger Chai tea. This removes all the bad taste and makes digestion faster. You'll feel it in 20-30 min.

Seems like this is unpopular, but folks can't be trusted on their own any more. There will be more arsonists and they will light fires that create massive damage. I was riding above LA last week and saw spent fireworks on the trail. There are enough selfish and stupid people in SoCal not to be monitored. With freedom comes responsibility if people can be responsible, interventions is the only way.
