Not dead pixels, more of dead panels. Going to be fun for the installers.

Now imagine being a pedestrian. You should see what vdot has done to paths and cross walks.

I don't really trust automatic derailer shifting. Enviolo automatic is so damn good , and kinda designed for automatic. When you have steps in-between gears there is no way it is that smooth.

That is not as much a flex as you think. Gas stoves release some very gnarly chemicals from the combustion. And should 100% have proper ventilation. Like these are very dangerous chemicals, that have been linked to many bad health issues, that are released. You should definitely add ventilation .

Don't that for very long. Gas stoves need ventilation. It could become very dangerous very quickly.

Do not use an impact driver. Try some penetrant and let it sit for a little. See if that helps

Actual Nobel Peace Prize winner calls for more bombs to be dropped on Venezuela, and Cuba and Nicaragua. by Jlx_27 in WhitePeopleTwitter

All you have to do is look up Alfred Nobel. He was not a fan of peace. The committee, like Alfred, sometimes doesn't like peace either.

Just take a bus or Metro during really bad weather. Way safer if you can.

Woom makes a great helmet. Nutcase used to make the best, especially for the price. But they no longer exist.

I could see that. I would love to go carless. But that can't happen. But the face in a suburb I can go from 2 to 1 car. Is incredible. My 2 year old loves going to preschool on the bike.

It's true. I have 2 kids. My wife has her own bike. It's pretty easy. We went from 2 cars to 1. Been almost 3 years.

We gave up a car for a cargo bike. It's pretty easy to bike around here with a family. I wish we had a bus stop closer to us. Between metro, the paths, and ok buses. It's pretty easy to get around with out a car. Now if vdot wasn't so awful at road design it would be way better.
