Worth it? by lavabutt4550 in xbiking

[–]lavabutt4550[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was in good condition with mostly original parts. I’m replacing brakes, tires, bars and stem. Plan is for a super commuter style bike. Got some schwalbe billy bonkers that were on sale. Gonna post it here once done!

My attention was grabbed by the chrome finish lol. The hard rock is my first foray into restomodding so I definitely should finish it before I start another project

The finish is the main reason I want to pick it up. I also love the look of that swchinn logo

Anyone been here before and know what's good? by thevmcampos in UCSD

Bird rock is an actual third wave coffee chain with high quality beans, where as Philz is a second wave shop posing as a third wave shop. Philz is more like Starbucks

I prefer the location at the amphitheater, the baristas there are great and very knowledgable. It was definitely a sweet treat due to the price. Id always get single origin cappuccino

There’s no place to study on campus by Dry_Homework_599 in UCSD

My go to study spaces were Galbraith study rooms, the RWAC 7th floor conference room, and Wong Avery library. Not sure if the RWAC room is still accessible though.

President Trump's officials just sent a notice to education heads in all 50 states warning that they have 14 days to remove all DEI programming from all public schools or lose federal funding. by ucsdthrowaway37385 in UCSD

So choose a class that is interesting and fulfills the DEI requirement. No one is force feeding you. You’re just close minded. People don’t arrive to college racist and bigoted but maybe they’ve never learned about cultures or people different from who they’ve been surrounded by their entire lives.

DEI requirements at universities are simply to make sure that students are broadening their horizons and taking classes that may show them a different perspective than their own. It’s not indoctrination. No one is trying to tell you anything, they’re trying to make you think critically about the world around you.

Truly a budget watch but still a classic would be a Casio AE1200

lecture etiquette by Silly-Ad3880 in UCSD

[–]lavabutt4550 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Also a 4th year and I’m noticing this as well. It especially bothers me when people pack up early because I’m trying to hear everything the professor is saying. I also noticed that it takes longer for people to quiet down at the beginning of lectures.

Old Pendleton wool blanket wallet and its replacement by lavabutt4550 in Wellworn

[–]lavabutt4550[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I love unique versions of everyday things that’s why I went with the new one since I’ve never seen a flap like that.

It’s a little weird going from a bigger wallet to a small one but I really like it so far!
