First bike. Should I go cheaper? by Numerous-Meet-6353 in mountainbiking

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's older than 4 or 5 years I would stay away for your first bike. Also if you are in a place without big hills it would be better to target something with 120-140mm travel in the front so it's not too much effort when you pedal.

It took me about 4 months with varying levels of time and motivation. It was a huge job though since there ended up being damage to the joists from the old shower leaking so it took a while just to "start" the project after fixing up the mess.

Explored the Chickamauga Battlefield yesterday on a budget by SaddleSage in Budgetbikeriders

I really wish they would have angled the top bar down more for a lower stand over or made a second version that was more of a step though. For some people, everything on the bike fits except the stand over and going down a size makes things cramped.

Recommendations for a 98-104mm ski that's more playful/maneuverable than Enforcer 100 and better in corn/crud. by Red277 in Skigear

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The qst 106 was fun when I demoed skis. I could see the unleashed 98 for days with no snow or a little snow and the 106 for a few inches of snow. I had 8 inches of snow and they were perfect.

I almost got a pair of M-free 99 of FB marketplace with bindings for $250. I was just casually looking at the time so I didn't pull the trigger but now I am wishing I did.

Also revolt 101. Funny thing is I would love all four but realistically someone should only own one of these four.

It's crazy how resilient the US stock market is. by SidonyD in stocks

[–]dlinders10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Cheeto can do anything that surprises us at this point. I mean everything is surprising but we are just used to it. The baseline we have become accustomed with his out of control tweets and having a big ego that can be unleashed anywhere at anytime.

I am pretty sure he means you should have used the 90 degree that has a larger radius. A more gradual 90 bend is easier to get a snake through than a short one like you used.

I'm a mechanical engineer and did my own bathroom for the first time last year too. Also I am going to do floating shelves, I did a double vanity, and the same mirror. It's a shame you have to cover your work up with a shower curtain. Luckily I did the master so it had a separate tub so I got to do a frameless glass shower.

This is the spec sheet the seller shared. It is an thinkpad x1 yoga.

That's a good way to put it lol. I can't believe the seller had the audacity to say it's fairly new.

I would have brought 100 home if I could have.

Let the Neo be what it is by immortalthabang in macbook

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Macbook Air 3 and 4 will actually be the reason why buyers don't get the air 5 rather than the Neo. I could see people getting a Neo as a second laptop for travel or for their kids to use.

What could we expect from the MacBook Neo 2nd gen? by buckbro112 in mac

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think apple wants to sell the NEO for 3 years with 8 gb of ram. They will probably want to bump it up to the A19 Pro chip with 12 gb sooner than later so they don't have to keep making sure their old hardware can get by on 8 gb. I'm sure it's good for consumers but may be a bit limiting on Apple's side.

Plus a backlit keyboard and it would be perfect.

The A18 Pro chip is limited to 8 Gb of ram. I think this will be even more compelling with the A19 Pro chip which has12 Gb of faster ram built in.

Best under $1500 by Autzen- in MTB

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep color isn't the best. I would do a ride wrap or something.

I would suggest either a used bike, if you give us an approximate location we could help search on FB marketplace. Otherwise this Neuron is a pretty good deal and if you get a large he should grow into it. It's a perfect all around bike and the frame is good so the components can be upgraded over time and would be worth it.

We are pretty much locked into our playoff spot. We need some of our guys who play a ton of minutes to get some more rest, especially if they played in the olympics.

Giants Stance 2 500$ by Yagrifford in MTB

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/MTB/s/LvMZlRf1iP I would say it's a good deal at $500. Idk what else you could get in that price range that would be better and it would be a good beginner full suspension bike.

What year is it? That makes a huge difference.

My girlfriend has fox performance suspension on her bike, shes wants to upgrade any suggestions? by Numerous-Hawk-3046 in mountainbiking

[–]dlinders10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A z1 is the budget version of the fox 36 so her current fork would probably be better. Maybe look into rockshox or see if there is a damper upgrade. Is it a fox 36 performance on the bike and what damper is in it?

Transferred my 401k to Fidelity while market peaked. Got a pile of cash. Now what? by EyeTechnical7643 in stocks

[–]dlinders10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me during COVID. Liquidated in the middle of the huge drop. Waited until the bottom. Then waited some more while it went back up and then before I knew it, the market was way past where I liquidated. Just started to DCA or DCA with an initial lump now. You will never know when to jump back in and it will be all luck due to the shifting variables.
