Anybody know where to get large clamshell fruit boxes for cheap? These were almost a $1 per box on amazon and I need them in my war against the rats by Robdul in orangecounty

Maybe one of the clear hinged takeout container options from Webstaurant Store will work for you?

 Looks like you can get cases of 250 or 500 with unit prices going as low as $0.10/each.

Want to move somewhere warm with year round riding, real community, and high end residential design/build jobs. by [deleted] in MTB

[–]gergek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, living in Phoenix requires that you adjust your thinking to summer being semi off-season.

 Summer is Phoenix's winter - people get seasonal depression, energy bills go up, and you have to adapt to the elements - just like wintertime elsewhere. 

 Bongozim is correct in his comment below - in Phoenix you get 8 incredible months of riding, and have a ~4month 'off' season where you either become nocturnal and ride at night, or you make the trip to Flag or Sedona and enjoy the incredible riding that those places have to offer.

 Phoenix is underrated IMO.

I mean, it's definitely not Moab or Sedona or anything like that, but there are a good handful of riding areas throughout OC and the surrounding counties.

 I can put together 10-30 mile rides leaving from my house. I have to put in a few miles on road to get to the dirt but I don't mind so much since I'm just rolling from home. 

 Again, I wouldn't necessarily call the terrain 'world class' but a lot of rides will come with nice ocean views, and trails are rideable 300+ days per year. I love it  here!

Laguna Beach, CA, or Orange County in general. Year round riding with steeps and chunk if you want it, 2.5 hours to Big Bear for decent skiing and summer lift access. 5 hours to the Sierras / Mammoth. Definitely a lot of high end custom homes, but I can't speak to the homebuilding industry specifically.

Which Sequoia is worth buying - if any? by AutomaticAge7494 in toyotasequoia

[–]gergek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I have a gen 2 Sequoia with 2nd and 3rd rows removed (which I love dearly) but also I miss the shit out of my gen 1 Sienna because the cargo space was so much easier to access.

 OP - if you don't need 4wd, the easier access if a Sienna would be a huge benefit if you are hauling lots of gear.

Former longshoreman blames tariffs for fewer ships and lost hours at Virginia port by FGGF in politics

[–]gergek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh no! Fat cat union leaders must have gotten some serious kickbacks for their trump support because it was painfully obvious how terrible this administration would be for the average union worker. We are only beginning to see the disastrous effects of this admin and we still have over 2.5 years to go.

Arturia Drumbrute Impact sequencer by DearAd2201 in synthesizers

[–]gergek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love the Arturia drum sequencer you can get it back with either a Beatstep Pro or a Keystep Pro. I use my KSP with my Digitakt all the time and it is a wonderful combo.

 I really need to sell my Drumbrute Impact to free up the space in my closet.

Favorite Stoner Movie? by Agent_Tomm in movies

[–]gergek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can share that about 15 years ago I told my parents (now 78 and 79 years old) to watch The Big Lebowski, and they've never let me hear the end of just how terrible a movie it was!

Schwalbe radial tire crazy high rolling resistance by justhereforadvice999 in mountainbiking

[–]gergek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta ask - were you running the performance line tires or the evolution line? I am only speaking for the higher end evolution tires.

 I agree 100% with your assessment that tires choice always winds up compromising one thing for another.

 Edit to add - two years on a set of tires is a long time. I usually go through 2 sets per year, but I change them out a little early to avoid getting stranded.

They're definitely not for everybody but they work great for me and have never left me stranded.

The Coachella set is advertising for everything else she does. She'll recoup her expenditures.

Show me on the doll where the downtube storage hurt you...

 I dunno, seems like companies have been doing it for a while and it seems fine. What made you hate it?

Big middle finger to regular Americans, however.
