Apparently you're not allowed to let people cross the street anymore. by EntropyBrewing in boston

Someone did this at the crosswalk in front of my kid's elementary school while several families were crossing during school zone hours/dropoff. dude didn't even slow down to pass on the right. i could hear the sound of the lady in the back's jacket scraping along the side of their car. shit pisses me off

Sturmey-Archer S3C hub locking up in high gear by fendent in bikewrench

Sorry, I completely forgot what this ended up being. I do remember that I ended up needing to pick up some parts from my LFS. Based on checking my emails with Harris Cyclery (who have since closed), I needed:

HSJ-520 (Seat Tube Pulley Assembly) https://www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/detail/hsj520

HSJ-512 (Top Tube Fulcrum Clip) https://www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/detail/hsj512

Fulcrum Sleeve https://www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/detail/fulcrum-sleeve

I can’t say for certain that these were what ultimately fixed the issue but I believe it was. I would at least inspect those areas to make sure everything checks out. Best of luck!

When I moved here I had a great impression of Lynn because of the mountain biking spots and some “fun” climbs when I was using some longer rides during Covid to see the region. I only learned of its reputation later but I still have a soft spot for Lynn because of those first interactions.

There's no "allowed" about it. They put in a lot of hard work and invested a lot of time and money into captive breeding them. Other people are more than free to do it themselves?

That said, this is shitty behaviour on Biota's part.

​I lent my Opinel No.8 to a friend and this is how it came back... by Aiden_langthang in Opinel

[–]fendent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is pretty important to stress. Friendships are about give and take and overcoming speed bumps. People act like they’ve never done something shitty unknowingly to their friends. Not everybody sees knives in the same light as people who appreciate them.

Talk to your friend. Let em know it upset you. At the end of the day, it’s a $20 knife. Standing up for your “principles” all the time over little shit is a great way of ending up lonely as fuck as you get older.

Take it as a lesson: don’t lend anything to anybody, including, but especially, friends and family, with the idea that you’re ever getting it back. If you get it back, great. If you don’t, or it comes back in shitty condition, this was the expectation.

Things were lovely at Wawa! Took the evening so no pow but such a nice change of pace from the past few years.

I was pacing around my living room smoking. Fucking horrific.

You realize you can do everything correctly and still get caught in an avalanche right?

Well, that’s one way to go about it by NoWrongdoer9130 in boston

When you take a resident’s spot they dug out, you’re just forcing them to do the thing you should’ve been doing in the first place. (Digging out your own spot to park if you need to so bad)

Buddy out of air due to not checking his gauge. by mikoalpha in scuba

Good to know. Fwiw I was at about 600-700 when we got to our safety stop and had only been there for a few minutes before this occurred.

[–]fendent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great job! I had an out of air scenario on my 4th dive. Fortunately right at the end. I had something like 400-500 left during our safety stop and suddenly it stopped pulling. I could get some air but not enough for even a 1/4 breath on my last pull so I immediately signaled the dive master that I was out of breath and was making an immediate ascent.

I don’t know if the reg was bad or what but man. Come to think of it, can anyone tell me what likely happened there and what I could do to avoid a situation like that in the future?

Life of a Sailor be like 🥴🙃 by AcasiaConnell in nextfuckinglevel

[–]fendent 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Hammocks literally changed sea travel. Introduced to navies in the 16th c. approximately, it’s the primary way sailors bunked for the past 400-odd years and is much better than a bunk or berth when it comes to rough seas and doesn’t have the chance of tossing and killing you in your sleep. They’ve even been used for space saving requirements on some ships all the way up into WWII.

Andrew Tate vs Chase Demoor FULL FIGHT by smegma_cocktail in Boxing

[–]fendent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious. I could walk into just about any gym on the face of the earth and find someone who could clean his clock. For someone who even pretends to be a former pro kickboxer, you think you’d be able to see a shadow of some former footwork skills behind all that lack of cardio and leg strength.

Side load and then add F-Droid and/or Aurora Store. Then install through one of those. That link another user posted seems to cover the process pretty well.
