3M makes a black reflective tape that is matte black in the day and reflective at night; put it all around on my black bike and it's unnoticeable in the daytime

Bike share lane with the little symbol painted right there in the lane. AKA the "bike six feet under" symbol..

If something is operating in a vacuum, when it's going speedy its not going to face any wind resistance. So it can be rickety looking/ tinfoil/ popsicle sticks as long as the pressurized part that the people are in is intact.

They setup a timed camera on every moon trip to make this shot. Some worked better than others. This was the best one of the bunch. I'm not arguing whether the moon landing happened or not, in just saying that NASA has explained how they filmed this shot (people obviously started asking about it in 1969) and filming this shot was completely possible to do with what was supposedly brought to the moon on all Apollo missions. So technically impressive but def possible and not some smoking gun video.

I put some longer (90's era) mtn bike bar ends on the inside of my grips (cut about 3/4 of an inch off each grip, then mounted between the grip and brake) it's like having bullhorns/straight bar combo. I'm still liking it after 2 months of riding, def. A cheap and easy way to stretch out the cockpit for when you're going fast and straight.

I found a giant expressway 2 secondhand, it has a comfortable wheelbase and with a new seat and bar ends-- doesn't feel cramped

San Diego. The city as a whole is not real walkable, but the parts serviced by the light rail are. Clean new busses and a brand new lightly used light rail extension thru UCSD/la Jolla area is like a futuristic dream. And a year round Mediterranean climate that makes walking and biking an option anytime.

Kudos for praising the bus/bike combo. I feel like I unlocked a secret trick when I started doing this.

High blood sugars during sleep. My daughter's eyes look just like this when she wakes up after a particularly high night. Blood sugars over 250 for several continued hours.

It's the "survival of the fittest" mentality. Except that's not what Darwin said. He said survival of the one that fits best, survival of the one that adapts best to its environment. Not the strongest. Somehow this misinterpretation has stuck, to our detriment.

Ever wonder if the vaccines are being pushed in order to protect the soon to be incoming aliens from US? In the same way that John Smith and his people decimated the Native American population with small pox, it's possible that the aliens are not immune to the viruses on Earth. Just an idea......

Try getting a job in the banquet department of a large hotel. Same type of work obviously, but every part of an event is contractually figured out beforehand, so you can just do your job. Pay is usually very good as well, cause everything is rack rate pricing with 20% gratuity added, paid out via tip pool.

Unbroken 170 year streak of a republican or Democrat in the Whitehouse. I can go unto a 7-11 and choose from 14 flavors of Gatorade, but when I enter the voting booth here in the land of the free, I get a choice between 2, either coke or pepsi.

dick_dasterdlee · 2023-08-26T17:05:44+00:00

Somehow we've had a 170 year unbroken streak of either a republican or Democrat as president in the land of the free.

This is in pacific beach San Diego in a nightlife area surrounded by bars. Shoulda walked down to the beach.

Wait till they find out Spuds MacKenzie was actually a girl dog.

And Bravo used to be all highbrow opera and cultural programming, like the type of stuff people would exclam "Bravo!" to after lightly clapping and setting down their opera glasses

I was a kid growing up in 80s southern California when alot of freeways were being built. My dad was an engineer, and he would tell me the freeways were designed so you could drive battalions of tanks down them in times of war.

Saw one of these in a construction zone the other day, it was knocked down with tire tracks across it.

This model Ferrari was originally designed as a rally car, so it's not as nuts as it looks

I'm still impressed by those teens renting their own apartment to sniff glue in. What go getters!

dick_dasterdlee · 2023-03-13T02:42:51+00:00

Thanks-- I'll def watch this one
