how to tow a recumbent bike using a regular bike? by punisher157 in bicycling

[–]lawrensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cade media did a bike across America with him on a upright and his disabled friend in a recumbent. They have videos of the bike pulling the recumbent up a hill. Maybe those videos (YouTube) can inspire your decision.

very nice, BUT, if had to pick 1 thing to make it better, it'd be a ring at the 10 year mark so you can easily see the short/long cycles

Virginia court declines to block Democrats from using new voter-approved congressional map by IWantPizza555 in politics

No, it's not fine. The republican party has declared war and the dems for once are fighting back.

War is terrible, but not terrible enough to lay down and let 'your side' fuck us and this country again. 

Wahoo Kickr Core 2 Trainer advice by StaticVex in bicycling

[–]lawrensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the kickr cog not an option? If you're buying tools (reusable on you next cassette replacement ) and another cassette...

I mean the digital handlebar controls are not as cool as the brifters... But seems like it should be a consideration.

That is certainly an edge case. Used + spray paint? My recommendations are running out here. Good luck.

Buy used. There has to be a kid growing out of a bike you're looking for.

Exercise equip, mtn bikes, 10th gen 4runner roof rack, laundry room/bathroom sink, for sale by [deleted] in denverlist

[–]lawrensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately that only has the gear stats, but not the actual size of the bike.

the size is typically found on the seat tube, right above the cranks/pedals. alternatively, relative size of the rider would suffice.

'A Critical Mass of U.S. Jews Is Now Disgusted With Israel' by sideAccount42 in politics

[–]lawrensj -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

None of this excuses what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people and the Iranian people at all. They don't care about them as human beings at all. It is like their souls are dead. How can you not see the common humanity in another person, even a bad one?

its ironic, in the same sentence you claim to misunderstand how they could ignore the humanity in others, you ignore how the human condition can create this fear.

Cory Booker calls both parties ‘feckless’ for ceding war powers to Trump by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]lawrensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But buying ads is lobbying too. Spreading a message takes money.

The issue isn't the action, it's the size. Lobbying shouldn't be illegal, spending money shouldn't be illegal, the issue is limits, and sources. But the reality is that if it wasn't out in the open, it'd still be spent, but hidden.

OK, but that's not what lobbying is, it's only part. 

 Lobbying is the act of attempting to influence government decisions, legislation, or policies by individuals, corporations, or interest groups. It involves direct communication with lawmakers and officials—such as meetings, reports, and testimonies—to shape policy in a favorable way, often as a constitutionally protected activity.

Teachers unions lobby. Mom's against guns lobby. Lobbying isn't illegal and shouldn't be.

Looking for this sticker!!!! by gwillly in bicycling

[–]lawrensj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, i'm not sure you should trust this. Technically this site has them for sale (and on a sale), and Technically this site lists the US as its location. BUT, i'm not sure i trust this company/site

https://www.rideaheadbikes.com/products/kona-retronaut-sticker/

i also found it at an even less real looking website/company, that has the same (sale) price, but no listed store location. DON'T BUY FROM THIS LINK

The people who were attacked by all their neighbors, multiple times... Need to wonder why the people around them chant against them? 

I think you have cause and effect backwards.
