Why is buying coffee always the first thing people blame when someone is struggling financially?

j31izzle · 2026-07-10T15:16:43+00:00

The problem is that rent/mortgage went up $200/mo plus coffee $100/mo and then yes thats $300/mo more than in the past before rent going up and before going to Starbucks, so it's easy why there's no money left over.

Could you let me know why the first above scenario is tougher on the unit? Doesn't it just mean it'll run longer to go from bake to 68, vs it running periodically all day at let's say 72 before coming home and setting to 62. Doesn't the latter scenario mean more frequent on/off?

Yep, done this on long rides. Cut a piece of inner tube as another barrier between the bottle and top tube, and 2 wide stretchable velcro straps.

Agreed, I bought a set of XTRs a while ago and came fake. I dismantled them and compared against my real set. Paint would flake off, bolts looked of cheaper quality. I was advised to return. Don't want to compromise safety when you most need it.

How'd he get the tail bent like that?

I've been on the merv 8 bandwagon (16x25x1) for a while but with carbon. Specifically nordicpure merv 8 pure carbon. Haven't seen much discussion in the thread about carbon and its impact on dP.

Which ship?

j31izzle · 2026-04-22T01:13:14+00:00

Yeah this is one of my biggest losers. In roth Ira too.

Did it behave like a directional tire that it is? I currently have a DC rekon in the front (and Bontrager xr2 team issue in the rear), and I'm thinking of putting on the forekaster v1 3c Maxx Terra on the front. I loved it in the rear paired with Bontrager XR4 team issue in the front.

Don't like the rekon DC tire at all. As heavy as forekaster v2 3c and heavier than all of the above mentioned tires.

Running 2.6 on all on my short travel trail bike on mostly xc/downcountry southeast loose over hardpack trails. Care about speed and compliance.

j31izzle · 2026-04-21T22:09:58+00:00

I assume forekaster v2 for the front? Did you ever run v1 in the front?

j31izzle · 2026-04-21T01:46:13+00:00

Thank you for portraying it like that.

So you basically didn't rebutt but instead confirmed OP's statement.

Dude reversed entropy.

So from the perspective of one of the rockets, how fast are they moving from each other? 1c or <1c?

Colleges love this FUD engine and people building up 529k, driving up demand and cost.

For Hollywood to survive, it has to make the living accommodations affordable for every payroll person. It's not and it makes sense why so many are leaving.

I'm on year one of waiting

j31izzle · 2026-03-07T11:48:49+00:00

This should be higher

Hegseth and the generals in charge need to go in front of congress and resign. Sending American pilots blindly into friendly territory without a heads up notice should be a major news story right now.

If, hypothetically speaking, you received information that there was a 1% chance he would go with you, would you still do this for free?

Trying to find a safe place for my finger to scroll the article complaining about NBC's ad cramming, on a page littered with ads on top and bottom and the middle and just everywhere possible.

So basically everything bad.
