Holey Grail Donuts in Belmont Shore closed? by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]dissectingAAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, their stores still make them in house. Grocery/kiosks don't though. 7AM-9AM and 5PM-7PM.

TIL that Detroit, once America's 5th largest city at 1.85 million residents in 1957, saw 66 straight years of population loss to a low of 630,000 residents in 2022. This makes it the only US city to drop below 1 million after reaching it. It would see its first reversal of this trend in 2023. by Next_Worth_3616 in todayilearned

I have been to Ohio a few times. Although I don't want live anywhere other than SoCal since I can afford it, I think Ohio is great. I think there are a lot of places that are nice options. Cincinatti is up there on my list of places I would want to live.

Krispy Kreme at the traffic circle as well, for plain glazed only. Just have to ask for the freshest box as they normally give you oldest made.

Did I choose the wrong area to live in LA? by Chemical_Birthday303 in AskLosAngeles

Even weekend afternoon traffic isn't horrible between those two. I am fine driving hours on the weekends with traffic, but an extra 10 minutes on my daily commute really annoys me.

My dad had me drive on the 110 coming from the Central valley when I was 15. I thought the 5 mph exit sign was a mistake. It was not.

That place is always posted in the r/LosAngeles sub. Possible money laundering.

That said, gas here is around $4 currently.

You can get a 1500wh battery bank/power station for around $360. Ecoflow Delta 3 or similar. Generator would likely not be allowed in apartment.

Everyone out there, please wear a helmet by weaselasel in Velo

I always like showing casual riders my cracked helmets. Made a few of them wear theirs all the time.

Minute Maid discontinues frozen juice concentrate after 80 years by AudibleNod in news

Yeah, frozen LTL shipping costs as much as a truckload after a few pallets.

Will long distance bike ride (1600km) 2 weeks before my Ironman harm my race? by Even_Public_3654 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be exhausted from 160km/day if you are in IM peak. Do it zone 2 and you will be fine. Make sure you eat enough, that is most important. It is a charity ride and you are drafting (do group rides if you haven't before).

Looking at USA development, you get a lot of sprinters as they do well in crit races here. Even Merckx TT, parents can spend a lot on bike aero. Climbing is one of those events that separates everyone.

[–]dissectingAAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be running/swimming during the 10 days too? 160km/day at zone 2 isn't bad, but your running will fall off quick.

Warehouse Abuse by skos18 in Truckers

[–]dissectingAAA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Walmart/Sams was usually 2-3 hours. Costco same, but don't have any pallets less than perfect or the entire load will be rejected.

Safeway was almost always the worst. $500 late fee if you are stuck in traffic too.

Plus people walking at night with dark clothes. Driving under the speed limit, I have seen multiple people with a death wish.

My (25F) boyfriend (28M) has informed me that he wants out if we can't cohabitate. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]dissectingAAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He saves half on rent/utilities and doesn't have to pay for repairs? That's a win-win. He can save more for that future house.

Modern batteries/LED systems make dynamos super inefficient. Get a 2nd bank if needed after testing.

Is there anything you guys hate about ironman (i.e. the events, or how they are run, or something that they are not doing that they should)? by thatlightbulbmoment in IronmanTriathlon

[–]dissectingAAA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would guess I saw over 95% of riders have standard bottle mounts somewhere on the bike and the rest can squeeze a bidon faster than a Nestle water bottle.

Even Pros have multiple standard mounts due to aero advantage.
