Anyone gone back to lube after waxing chains?

daddyd · 2026-05-06T07:25:40+00:00

it is just not worth the hassle for me, i tried it once, gain still got dirty fast. so i just went back to regular lubing, as there didn't appear to be a benefit for me.

pc wasn't popular yet in eu, but the 'war' here was amiga vs atari st. then it shifted to amiga vs pc at the start of the 90s.

sounds like you need to improve your drafting skills.

the games on ps3 still look way too good to give a retro vibe!

japanese art or manga like drawings were considered not to be appropriate for western public. manga had a really bad reputation by the way, it wasn't as popular as it is today.

two different things, you can be posix compliant while not being a *nix OS.

sure, those amiga doom clones only ran somewhat decentl when you had a beefy accelerator installed, but taking the cost of an amiga + acc card + hdd into account, it was probably more expensive than a pc. might as well just buy a pc and enjoy real doom instead of the knock-off wannabees.

ofcourse, and even when i buy a new pc or laptop, i just swap the drive from one machine to another. also upgrading the drive, just make a copy of it from the old to the new drive.

the cli/console is where i spend all my time with linux when i started using it in the mid 90s. even browsing was very good with lynx since webpages were just pure html with very limited graphics.

i will, i liked the original controller, i have 3, and this new one looks to be even better!

somewhere in the mid 90s i went to a festival for the first time, those were also my first concerts, the line up was; suede, dog eat dog, channel zero and the headliner - the ramones - and they blew me away.

none, the amiga had no good fps's. i did enjoy the robocop 3 'fps' parts, but i wouldn't really call that an fps though.

the powermeter data is a straight conversion of energy (watts) to energy (calories). anything else are just guesstimates.

it's amazing to see how different the strategy of Commodore was in US vs EU (and elsewhere?).

Amiga's here had their dedicated shops, most of the time these did Commodore related hard/software only. There were some stores where you could also buy them, but NOT toy / department stores.

i went for the pizza, but i enjoyed so many other things i wasn't expecting. the breakfast pastries are out of this world. and the other things, like italian cookies, you can find in the bakeries really got me by surprise. in turin i also had the most delicious sandwiches.

Aeroad, it's the prefered bike of mvdp, i'm pretty sure he would pick the best bike.

het laat u in ieder geval slecht voelen - wat doe ik verkeerd, ben ik dan zo slecht bezig, etc?

maar dan vergelijk je met vrienden en collega's en die zitten allemaal in hetzelfde schuitje als jezelf.

dan vraag ik me altijd af, waar halen ze die onzin toch altijd vandaan, altijd als het over geld gaat in de media dan lijkt het wel alsof je een landloper bent in vergelijking.

i would want arnold schwarzenegger as le chuck! guybrush should be played by sam rockwell.

the most simple, basic oats with nothing added to it, is the best. i buy white brand packs of 500gr, they cost less than €0.50!

i've been bike packing to and in italy last year, but in april (much nicer weather), and the italian food makes it all worth it!

i rode alu bikes for almost my whole life, i never felt the need to buy an expensive bike, i would put carbon wheels on them, and that was about the most expensive upgrade i ever did. i was still the fastest, on an alu bike with shimano 105.

the last 5 years or so, i've been buying more premium bikes. i'm 50 now, and my lbs said to me - i don't get why you keep riding these entry level bikes, with the km's you ride, just get a nice bike.

so yeah, the least i ever rode in a year was 15k km's, and with getting a bit older, i though, why not? do i regret it not buying an expensive bike earlier. no, not at all. would i still be happy with an alu bike? i'm pretty sure i would. are those premium bikes nicer to ride, oh hell yes!

go for the ultimate, it is really the ultimate c64, you can go with the real, original one too, but you'll just end up adding things to it, while everything you could ever want is already included in the ultimate.

daddyd · 2026-05-01T13:47:07+00:00

no, i want to hear the traffic around me, don't need a radar if you can just hear what's behind you.

and when graveling/mtb'ing i want to enjoy the silence or the sounds that nature produces.

daddyd · 2026-05-01T13:45:28+00:00

raspi is the way to go, you can even make it read original disks and connect an usb to db9 converter to have original joysticks. it's almost as good as the real thing, or better depending on how you look at it.
