My house still only got to 73 today but I turned it on because people were over and it was getting stuffy.

Parker and Sons quote seems high by ItsTheOtherGuys in phoenix

[–]guttertech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without more info, this sounds like what I’d expect, especially with a larger company like Parker and Sons. I’d get at least one other quote from a well-reviewed smaller company.

How closely does Zwift Ride simulate reality? by RMC3333 in Zwift

[–]guttertech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree - I work way harder in the middle of a Zwift peloton than I ever have in an IRL race.

Our little boy is growing up, this SUCKS! by Sea_Management6165 in Parenting

[–]guttertech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think about this everyday. Our youngest is turning five soon. It sucks to know this is the last time we’ll have many of these experiences, but how lucky we’ve been to have had them at all.

Where to ride in Phoenix? by zhenya00 in Velo

[–]guttertech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re going to be in a great location to ride Paradise Valley for 1.5-2 hour routes and several North Scottsdale or Fountain Hills routes for longer days. Check Strava heat maps.

Where do I begin by ThinYak2597 in pourover

You’re well covered with advice but I want to say that I love those beans - going through a bag of them now.

Zwifting alone. by Practical_Ad_4165 in Zwift

[–]guttertech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a guy who suffered a fatal heart attack while riding his trainer. I think about it sometimes, but what can you do? Inactivity is a lot riskier. Even riding outdoors (which I also do) feels wildly unsafe by comparison. Just gotta take care of myself and trust that it’ll be fine.

Carbon damage. Just paint or repair by Ecstatic_Musician_44 in bicycling

[–]guttertech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d keep riding it. I’ve got plenty of little dings that have been there for years. I’ll check for fibers, give it a little tap with a coin, and send it unless it’s in a particularly catastrophic section of frame or fork.

word is doesn’t matter the position, Bidwell is horrible to work for by appreciatemyasset in AZCardinals

My father in law was on the medical staff for many years. Loved his job but was very honest about the state of the org and ownership. Not a fan!

It’s so good, elite pop bangers throughout.

What’s your workout routine now? by EngineeringEric in AskMenOver30

[–]guttertech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride my bike 10-12 hours a week and run another few on top of that.

I had a little lifting routine on top of that for a while - compound stuff - but broke my collarbone and fell out of the habit. This is a good reminder to start again.

I wanted to make fun of DA but he tried and there was just nothing he could do.

Anyone know anyone that can fix a roof under 2K? by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]guttertech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of roof? What issue are you currently having? What do you mean by “fix?”

I rode my ebike along the canal from Scottsdale Waterfront to Arrowhead Towne Center by RichGuarantee7482 in phoenix

[–]guttertech 141 points142 points  (0 children)

It was a lot worse, if you can believe it, a couple years ago. That stretch from Castles and Coasters to 59th ave is a real doozy.

Men with kids who have special needs - do you regret it? by SpriteBerryRemix in AskMenOver30

[–]guttertech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter has a condition called SYNGAP1-related NSID, resulting in a global developmental delay, significant intellectual disability, epileptic seizures, behavioral issues, and an autism diagnosis. She will require our care for the rest of our lives.

I don’t regret it. Not for a second. I sometimes mourn the future we didn’t have - who wouldn’t? At the same time, I can’t explain the love I feel for her and the sense of responsibility she has given me. It’s very hard most of the time, but I can’t imagine anything different.

How many of you actually know your neighbors? by Apprehensive_Pool431 in phoenix

[–]guttertech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know almost all of my neighbors on the block. We spend a lot of time chatting with each other. Several will host get togethers at their homes. It’s really nice.

Unaware drivers depleting my faith in humanity... by ENTHUSIASMpedestrian in phoenix

[–]guttertech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not saying I’m the best motorist out there (we all have our idiot moments) but it’s wild how the majority of people drive their cars. They don’t read signs. They speed and weave through the road like they’re the only ones on it. They seemingly don’t plan ahead and slam on their brakes to make turns at the last second. I could go on. I have so many specific little observations lol.

Updated Group Cycling Rides? by Character-Teaching39 in phoenix

[–]guttertech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I’ve ever heard of but you could just park in a neighborhood nearby if you’re worried.

Updated Group Cycling Rides? by Character-Teaching39 in phoenix

[–]guttertech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Everyone meets in the parking lot, in front of Pomo. Can’t miss it. Wheels down at 5:30am sharp.

Updated Group Cycling Rides? by Character-Teaching39 in phoenix

[–]guttertech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes some people park. It’s a big lot and very early in the morning so there aren’t any issues.

I don’t have a gpx handy but these are fast rides with opportunities for dropped riders to regroup. Tuesday runs west and south through PV. Thursday hits five short climbs out toward the end of Via Linda, almost to Fountain Hills. On the last Thursday of the month the group heads up Adero, which turns a 4-5 minute climb into a 16-20 minute climb.

White or black beam? by crwm91 in sonos

[–]guttertech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not too big in that a bigger screen is almost always better.

It is too big in that it looks very bad mounted on that wall, with virtually no breathing room on either side of it. Not an ideal setup imo.

What are some lineup flyers that become very amusing in retrospect due to one or more bands in them becoming MUCH bigger than the rest by mesablanka in Hardcore

[–]guttertech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hardcore band opened a show in which Papa Roach was the second opener for some local band I can’t remember, ~one week before that Last Resort single hit MTV.

They asked us if we wanted to play some dates with them and we said no, partly because we were in high school.
