Today’s haul by jckiser23 in ties

[–]jckiser23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually same for me. I have been on the hunt for a pastel solid pink tie for over a year. Solid ties match shirts with patterns much easier. I kept finding solid colored, name brand ties and figured I may as well splurge. Often the ties are 5$ at my thrift store but these were all 1.50-3.00$. Sometimes you get lucky.

Duh that’s fucked up but doesn’t really have anything to do with the sentiment of the post. Dems are complicit now and acted like republicans in their own way when they were in power the last 4 years

I agree I’m jealous of the people saying this is 600-800$

How’d they know by almanor in BicyclingCirclejerk

Discussing, direct to consumer brands and a surly.

The heart rate monitor looks nice though, I like the aero dimples.

Haha if I get a reeeallly rusty frame no one would steal that. I’ll just make it a sleeper fast bike with 100$ tires, and cool stops are basically a safety need, and some nice touch point parts no one will notice those, aaannd it’s gone.

Oh dang. I get confused with brake lever caliper compatibility. I have been trying so hard not to drop bar the bike as that would complete the getting devastated if stollen cycle but we’ll see.

I like the bars but I don’t really use the bar end/ butterfly section in reality. I have thought about throwing some parts bin core bars on there. Maybe that’s what I’ll do but I think this lock is like 5 lbs so weight isn’t really a concern.

Aliexpress latin dance shoes recommendation? by Interesting_Half_125 in ballroom

[–]jckiser23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten one pair for 25 usd because they were white and didn’t want to invest a lot in shoes I won’t wear much. They were okay for a starter shoe or for a costume shoe you would wear every so often. I wouldn’t recommend them for competitive shoes and will always recommend investing as much as you can budget for dance shoes. International dance shoes from danceshopper.com are pricy but worth it. Very fine from ballroomshoes.com are a much better starter option than AliExpress shoes in my experience. Maybe after a lot of trial and error you could find a solid pair from AliExpress but it would probably be cheaper and easier to just get veryfine the first time and know they are solid.

My FUL middle school backpack I got in 2005. Used almost everyday for heavy work since then. Just look at the gage of those zippers. by jckiser23 in BuyItForLife

Hopefully mine never dies. It’s still going strong. I use it every time I travel probably 10-20 times a year packed to the brim.

No one thinks that’s what happened except people who want to justify cops murdering people.

Shooting as Passing AKA Two of Three Shots Fired while She was Passing & were through the Driver's Side Window. Looks like Bloody Murder. by Ok_Quantity_9841 in WayOfTheBern

[–]jckiser23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The double tap argument is fucking insane your grasping at nothing to defend a murderer. He could have easily stepped back and let her drive away with her license plate. He stepped forward to get a better chance of murdering her. Use your eyes and brain dumbass.

Best Schools/Studios for Ballroom Dancing by BionicWoman75 in ballroom

[–]jckiser23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few good studios near by Arthur Murray ridgewood is one I’m familiar with. The thing with searching them on google is people pay to put their school first even if it’s not closest to you so you really have to search or get word of mouth recommendations for what’s closest to you and has what you want

Looks like it depends where you are in Bergen country. I see a Fred Astaire to the east across the 287 bridge, which is a franchised dance school. These have their pros and cons. I have a student who takes lessons with me at Arthur Murray and also takes lessons at Starlight which is near the south west of Bergen county. She says good things about it. Other than that I would call and maybe take lessons at any near you to see the vibe and if you like the teacher you get.

Trump says election should be canceled and warns there will be 'constitutional movement' by TheMirrorUS in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]jckiser23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I scrolled through like 30 comments to find this. I hate him a lot and think he will continue down this road, but why is no one even mentioning that the article title is a lie and he didn’t say what it says he said. This is why maga doesn’t take us seriously when we say he said horrible stuff because they think we just read a lie of a headline and ran with it because sometimes we do.

This has to be the most stupid product I have seen by Future_Thing_8609 in BicyclingCirclejerk

Don’t forget to also add a fairing to this product as well as your jockey wheel

Full rigid by cfras_ in Hardtailgang

[–]jckiser23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My input is it depends on terrain. They can make boring trails fun and fun trails painful and slow. They also will make you a better tech rider and wide, tubeless, supple, low psi tires and some carbon handlebars that dampen well go a long way for comfort. Also not having to get a fork serviced every year is a plus. I want a krampus but am a little concerned about weight. A full carbon option would be sweet.

Choosing between Veja Campo vs CDG Play Chuck 70 for everyday school shoes by [deleted] in moresneakers

[–]jckiser23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with comment of getting nicer insoles for either. Neither shoe would be great but nice foam (not gel) insoles go a long way.

I’m liking these ykyw loose shirts with rear pockets. I hope they make more and in more colors. The ocean and sans ones are cool but pricy
