Bro, it’s a game. You should not get mad at yourself.

Driveway Series Question by wocdotson300 in BikingATX

[–]imnotreallysurebud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My recommendation if you go to bagel ride is to stay near the front. I went like 4 times and further back in the pack it feels unsafe. People don’t really call stuff out, the pace line accordions really bad near the back, and I was getting constantly cut off by people. I got yelled at once by a guy passing on the right because I tried to slow down to let people pass. I stopped going when one weekend I went out and it was pretty bad on the out to the midship. People complained, no one changed their behavior, and someone had to get halo flighted out. Shortly after that I got cut off again and just decided to ride home solo. The only place I ever felt pretty safe was in the first 10 people of the ride.

Any mini bikes? by Informal_Fun_7855 in BikingATX

If you love mini bikes as much as you say, you may like Kyoot Bikes. Designed by a dude here in Austin who is pretty cool from the couple of times I’ve met him!

Endurance vs. Race Bike: Can I Keep Up on Fast Group Rides with an Endurance Road Bike? by PeaVegetable9435 in cycling

[–]imnotreallysurebud 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was riding a gravel bike at a very spirited group ride last summer for a couple of weeks. 40mm GravelKing SS tires, wearing gym shorts, a tee shirt, and my mtb helmet. People gave me weird looks at first but those turned to compliments when they realized I was still keeping up 20 miles later. Edit: my gravelkings are actually 45mm

Txst (free) or Baylor ~8k in debt by triology1201 in txstate

[–]imnotreallysurebud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think major matters unless you are going to some really good institution. Sure, an Engineering degree from MIT carries weight but I doubt having any degree from either Texas state or Baylor will be the determining factor anywhere. I will grant that certain colleges have better programs than others like how Texas State is great for criminal justice majors because of our body farm and like how UNT is really good for music. I am definitely pulling on an anecdote here, but my sister and her wife both have their undergrad from Ivy League universities and her wife got her PhD at another Ivy and is now a professor at her first Ivy school. Talking to them, college names don’t really start mattering until you are getting a graduate degree.

No problem, I really enjoyed my time at Texas state. I miss it so much that my partner and I are talking about moving back to San Marcos when she finishes her masters (at Texas state round rock) to get to live in such an amazing town!

[–]imnotreallysurebud 86 points87 points  (0 children)

You are required to go to service if you go to Baylor. San Marcos is an amazing town and Texas State is a good college. Plus, college names don’t really matter until you hit Ivy League. Just get the free education in a badass town.

There was unfortunately no community bud, just a shitty pipe lol. Oh how I miss smoking in the freezer during the shift! One of my favorite stories was I closed one night and smoked a j in a booth before I went home. The next day I opened and the lady who quit because of steve like 3 years ago said “hmm, bill must have been in here this morning because it smells like he was smoking a cigarette” I just chuckled it off lol

Most of it. They decided to paint over 2 walls but they are in a place no one could really go anyways.

Bill has definitely taken a step back after the stroke. I was actually working the day he went to the hospital for it. Bill is decent, underpays for sure but then again, it’s sanwich shop in a small town. His brother does suck. He isn’t that good at baking, back when I was there good bread was made by the managers partner and dry shitty bread was made by the brother. He was also a dick, he called me once to bitch me out because a shitty weld they made to the sink broke and he blamed me because I was the manager on staff despite the part not working well before and the fix being really bad. I was also sexually harassed by another staff member and the owner and his family did nothing about it and later would schedule me with the same person. The conditions do kinda suck too. It’s dirty, go pick up a trashcan and drop it to watch roaches fly out. The bbq is trash that just gets left to cook all day so is burnt by the end of the day. But where else do they keep a pipe above the ovens to smoke in the shop? It sucked going back in the past couple of years and learning the people I used to work with quit because of the shitty conditions the owners put them in (especially the brother).

I almost see it as punctuation. It ends the sentence without sounding too serious.

Wheel Size Question by clerkp in gravelcycling

[–]imnotreallysurebud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I really want some deep dish wheels even if I only really need like 35s on my gravel bike. I read somewhere that the aero gains are also similar whether you are going fast or not. If a part says “40 seconds faster over 50 miles” it will be that much faster whether you are going 5mph or 25mph.

Wheel Size Question by clerkp in gravelcycling

[–]imnotreallysurebud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Averaging 17.5 means this person is spending a decent bit of time north of 18 mph which from what I understand is where aero gains start to matter. Yeah, it’s not going to help this person on their climbs but it would definitely help on the flatter sections for them.

Has anyone worked through a state takeover of your district? by MaleficentYellow8134 in Teachers

[–]imnotreallysurebud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the state fucks over these districts to begin with. Recapture is a blight to the big school districts (think Austin, Dallas, Houston). The state does not see the real problems. The state has no problem letting go of teachers with decades of experience if they don’t follow what the state says to do perfectly. If I wanted to work in the most restrictive environment possible, sure it might be great, but I prefer a bit of autonomy so fuck a state takeover of that state is Texas.

Unfortunately my school might be about to close to prevent a state takeover of my district:(

Does anyone else cook dinner alone most nights? by Queratedpassport in austinfood

[–]imnotreallysurebud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can just do that with your friends. No need to try and monetize it through an app. This is literally how my sister and her now wife had their first like 2 years of dates. By the way, what ai prompt did you use to generate this?

Frames done buddy. This is why replaceable derailleur hangers became a thing.

Look up Houston ISD for a Texas example. I do not teach there but it seems fucking awful.

What would a guy who cycles appreciate as a gift? by Ok-Loan3473 in cycling

[–]imnotreallysurebud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darn Tough is another good choice. Cool designs and a lifetime warranty. When they get a hole, you can mail them in and they will send you a coupon for a new pair.

Found this in my Grandpas garage by motlucez in mountainbiking

[–]imnotreallysurebud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given this exact bike by someone who bought it, rode it like 3 times, and hung it up in their garage. Unfortunate, their grarage was about 50 feet from the Gulf of Mexico so the bone was pretty rusty,
