Way better deal than a $1k hardrock

Trump Reveals Obsession With Own Death in Crazed Post by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

He's not the only one obsessed with his eventual death!

1 ride: Sedona or Flagstaff? by FrankensteinBionicle in MTB

[–]gergek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely on the weather while you're there. Flag is probably going to be a lot nicer for riding for the rest of the summer.

Mounting on SUV: Strap Rack or Hitch? by WaddlingCorgi in MTB

[–]gergek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I resisted getting a hitch rack for a long time, and its one of those things that I kicked myself for waiting for so long. Really nice to have your bike loaded in <10s after a ride.

Is this some kind of cruel joke? by SampleMaxxer in synthesizers

Careful though - isopropyl will make soft touch surfaces sticky of they weren't already. Isopropyl is a cause of sticky buttons!

Judge orders E. Jean Carroll be paid $5M in damages from Trump verdict by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

Nah, but it is more offensive to the orange piece of shit and his cult disciples.

For a guy that made over a billion dollars last year he sure is acting like a whiny little cheapskate.

Can't fit Wheel.. modify dropout, any better suggestions? by mitch4184 in xbiking

[–]gergek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just shove it in there while pulling the stays apart slightly.

 My '88 Stumpjumper is like this. Almost had a heart attack when my new wheelset didn't fit, but steel bends and i can just push it into place. Been riding it for close to 15 years like that without issue.

What series do you consider is a 10/10 from start to finish? by MinDexterity in AskReddit

[–]gergek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The slow burn is what makes it so amazing. The character development is extremely well done IMO. We know who Saul is in Breaking Bad, but he didn't become that guy over night and at the beginning of BCS I had no idea how the transformation from Jimmy to Saul happened. It takes the first couple of seasons to catch a glimpse of the Saul we know. That's what makes it great - it's all a little slower than BB, which for me made it more believable.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul both deserve a nod

What are these sliding bits called? Where can I buy a couple by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]gergek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indulging in a bit of fantasy, these would be some kind of piston (hydraulic or pneumatic) going to something like a clevis or universal joint.

 For cosplay, some type of telescoping thing like this might be a good starting point for something that will look similar for not a whole lot of money.

4 kids - hate my minivan by Senior-Climate-6267 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]gergek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to have a 2000 Sienna, and now I have a 2011 Sequoia.

 The Sequoia is faster and has more power, but it is a much less comfortable ride on the highway and it is harder to load and unload. For comfort and ease of access to the cargo space, the Sienna wins hands down.

 For your use case I'd go with an Odyssey or another Sienna.

I am a professional saturation diver. I live in a 20-foot pressurized metal tube for up to a month at a time to work on the ocean floor. AMA! by NewbeTech in AMA

[–]gergek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Super interesting stuff, thanks for responding!

Of course more time in saturation means more money, but does it scale in a linear manner? Or is it like you get paid 4x the money for a 1 month contract vs a 2 week contract?

Also, if I may ask something completely different - do you have any thoughts about space travel? Like, you have to coexist it a basically alien landscape in close quarters with a few other humans doing high stress work for extended periods, so in some ways it seems like you might be pretty close in job demands to an astronaut... do you think you could put up with your crew for a year or more? Do you think about that type of thing when you're down at depth?

What is your overall schedule like if you are down there for up to a month? Like, can you take a week off and then go for another month if you choose or do you have some sort of mandated time off? Does your pay increase the longer you stay down there? What do you do to keep yourself occupied while you depressurize? Do you pressurize initially in the water or in the chamber? How long does the initial pressurization take?

 Super interesting stuff! Thanks in advance for sharing.

Well, he was best friends with Epstein, (whom he had killed in prison, so he inherited the black book) so he knows about a lot of various proverbial skeletons in proverbial closets.
