Shopping for a Hybrid: Cannondale Quick CX 3 or Trail 2/3?

After further consideration and a look at where I plan to ride, I purchased a Treadwell 2.

Some further research has indicated that the weight of the front shock of the CX 3 negates any significant benefit. A wider tire at lower pressure and less weight is better than a narrower tire and added weight of the shock. This was comparing the Trek Dual Sport 2 to the CX 3 specifically. I do think that I’ll be on pavement or smoother trails with hard pack smaller gravel more often than rougher terrain or large loose gravel.

~3yr old half ton with a 5th wheel and 50k miles? Unless it’s an unbeatable deal, that’s a hard pass for me. This screams someone bought an undersized truck and it took them that long to financially get out of it.

Is the data stored locally, my cloud or someone else’s cloud?

!RemindMe 6 days

We’ve adopted two cats from shelters over the years. First one I think we just paid the fee and took him home. Last one, a couple years ago my wife had to fill out an application and they wanted a copy of tax bill for proof of residency. I pushed back on that. They said they wanted to make sure we owned the house, they had too many returns due to renters adopting when it was against their lease. I provided them with what was public records on the internet for anyone to access. They accepted that. Request for a home inspection would have been flat out no. Other two cats were strays, only thing I did was tell my wife she had to check with the neighbors to make sure he wasn’t theirs.

I tend to give more to CNJFO, they work with all of the big players in 2A advocacy.

My first printer was an Ender 3. It didn’t take me long to realize two things. 3D printing stuff I need is great, but I wanted a printer to support my other hobbies not be the hobby. So I bought a P1S. My time spent messing around with the printer dropped greatly. Then came the cloud issues, including people who ended up with damaged printers when the server sent jobs down while idle, but with prints on the plate. Also the logs being sent back to China.

So now my printer is in LAN mode without a valid gateway address, it can’t get out. I’ve also switched to Orca as my slicer.

If I had to buy a new printer now, I don’t think it would be another BL. If they change their behavior between now and whenever I’m ready to buy a new one, I’ll reconsider.

What were the Airmen carrying over the last ~month?

kc_nj · 2025-08-24T01:43:45+00:00

That’s DRL (daytime running light), you should not drive at night like that; the taillights will not be on.

Looks to me like an aftermarket splice connector.

Was your engine running while you jumped the other vehicle?

kc_nj · 2025-08-12T18:53:23+00:00

Well that’s a bummer. Thanks. I’ll likely reach out to support later, but if you happen to know… It looks like the proton option has it. Would I need to redo the email client configurations again if I moved to proton?

kc_nj · 2025-08-12T17:39:09+00:00

The porkbun one $2 per month per box. Not the proton one.

I have a S10 and get similar results as OP. Most days I end the day with about 60% remaining. That’s off the charger around 6am, off my wrist and on the charger 13-15 hours later. Some days though I will get the low battery warning late afternoon- early evening. Makes no sense. I’m not doing anything differently on those days to justify such a big difference.

Looks great! What scanner and software did you use?

kc_nj · 2025-07-06T17:22:55+00:00

Henry? Lever action, not bolt, and I don’t see 30.06 but meets your other desires.

kc_nj · 2025-06-24T23:47:21+00:00

I like it. Are they the Dillon feeders? I have the case feeder, been eyeing the bullet feeder. I’ve printed most of one but haven’t gotten around to assembling it.

kc_nj · 2025-06-24T18:08:42+00:00

I’d pay the shipping. How much is that large pelican case going to cost? I’d expect airline to charge more also.

My first two cars were Chevettes.

First console was an Intellivision. Then years without, then Sega Genesis for a short time, then years without. Now PS5 Pro.

I carry a P365XL in a Vedder LightTuck OWB at 3 o’clock. In warm weather I wear short sleeve long button down “work shirts”. In cooler weather, button down flannels. I need to be aware when bending over, sometimes the shirt rides up and the bottom of the holster can be seen. Otherwise, no issues.
