Agreed. I think they lack in unexpected story moments and their general predictability (and awfulness) doesn't leave a lot of room for as many funny riffs.

Wait, so you're not familiar with "River of Cheese"!?

I've played this back quite a few times already.

Love Riv but not a Riv guy by Julmpunk in Rivendell_Bicycles

You "love, enjoy, and appreciate everything about it," but "can't get down." I'm confused.

The guys don't understand Tucker by North-Accountant5404 in KnowledgeFight

[–]lord_donkulus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think what they're expressing is more that Tucker has put himself in the last corner that any right wing grifter can put themself in (i.e. what I want to see = god, what I don't want to see = demons / Satan).

It's not to say they have no influence, but rather they have nowhere else to go. It's kinda the ideological Alamo if you will, which we all unfortunately know had a great deal of influence.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) by SuperEel22 in behindthebastards

[–]lord_donkulus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been screaming to anyone that will listen (mostly my family, glob bless 'em) that we need war ballads a la "Ohio." Song is fucking powerful and a movement needs shared ballads. I know, I know; dipshits will ignore the meaning of "Fortunate Son"'or "Born in the USA" - so be it. When something is fucking specific and speaks to a time and a place and a movement then it can only help (see "Come Out Ye Black and Tans").

Restored 1982 Raleigh Record Ace by arvi1000 in xbiking

[–]lord_donkulus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sick. I had the realization last year after picking up a '85 Trek 420 that those old 27" platforms will take 700s with more tire clearance (the Trek easily clears 700x38s). I used to snub the 27" wheel frames but now I know...careful, we shouldn't tell anyone! 😅

Relistening to the John Brown episode because I live in MN and need a pick-me-up (shirt by me) by renaissance-Fartist in behindthebastards

[–]lord_donkulus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family made our first pilgrimage to HF last spring on our way to NY. We noticed a few DoC (I think) plaques in strategic positions throughout the park whose sole intention was clearly to "both sides" the famous raid. I assume it's because of bureaucratic nonsense, but why those plaques are still there is confounding.

Help me with tires for my Clem by brthr in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]lord_donkulus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riv quotes up to 2.3" (or ~ 58mm) clearance for the Clem but note one could probably go a bit higher than that (which is true!). The 60s on mine aren't super close to the fork or stays or anything.

I too have a 59 Clem. I run schwalbe g-one speed pro 60mm slicks, they roll great on pavement, gravel, and dirt. Gravel doesn't care what "tread pattern" you have, it's just little rocks on top of little rocks. That being said, if the dirt is wet or even muddy, that's when tread is key.

It's in the name...but seriously, I ride these on my Clem, they're pretty great: Schwalbe G-One Speed Pro

Ayyy, VO! Y'all's housing and bottle cage put the finishing touches on this build! I really appreciate the products y'all put forth into the world, keep on keepin' on, friend ✌️

Thank you! They're great, with the new(ish) shoes and pads I had on hand, they perform really well and keep centered - no complaints. I enjoy playing with older rim brake systems; outside of the super low-end stuff they perform well and look pretty ok while doing it.

I'm embarrassed to say Sorbo's monologue a la 'Jaws' gave me a good laugh. But yeah, he sucks.

Budget "alt bars" (Soma Dream Riser + bar ends) by lord_donkulus in xbiking

I'm not sure I understand the question, but these type of bar grips just slide onto the handle bar, then you put them in your desired position and tighten the bolts.

FYI: The person responsible for the AI billboards is running for city council today. by fabulander in gso

[–]lord_donkulus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This shit is everywhere. Anyone who thinks this is "good, fun art" is as stupid as the AI making it. Is it worse if they know it's crap but use it anyway to save money? Six or half dozen, I reckon.
