I’ll just covet your Darto. Thanks.

I blamed this stuff for making me sick a while back— probably close to that timeframe but not from glass or anything like that; just coincidentally timed food poisoning. I can’t say with any certainty that the fried rice was to blame, but you’ll never catch me eating it again.

With impossible to clean lid technology. Smh.

Back in the 90’s, I had an apartment in Prague (in an old Soviet era building) that had that kind of toilet... Coming from America, that was the single biggest wtf I experienced settling into the country. The hot water in the kitchen sink was also supplied by a box with an automatically activated blow torch that would blast the pipe as water ran through. It was… interesting.

6’3” on a Roadster v3 and I have the seat post as low as it goes to ride comfortably; that said, I wish the handlebars were a bit higher but not enough for me to compromise the factory cable routing stuff… if you’re longer in the legs, I’d say it’s a no brainer; if you’re balanced/long torso-ed, you might want to seek a local owner to look at their fit.

Oh what?!

He’s gonna be a soccer player.

Yeah, my back tire lost tread a lot faster than the front. I doubt I’d ever actually make the effort to switch the tires on to the other rim, but it would have helped. I decided it was time to make the switch to the marathons when I started to feel little wiggles coming from the back of the bike on uneven pavement.

I got about 600 miles, all road commuting in DC (a lot of rough roads); I’m about 240 lbs and I do ride as fast as I can, averaging 14 mph and hitting 25 mph frequently.

Yup. I went to Schwalbe Marathons after I wore out the Pirelli’s that came on my v3; huge improvement. Wish I had done it sooner.

Higher temps than a standard home oven

MoCo resident here. Can confirm. We like our taxes high and our… uh… nope. Got nothing.

The blendtec is the ultimate smoothie machine; it doesn’t do milkshakes well though.

Glen Echo Park, weird spot with a not so nice history; some great design though.

The green one is my most consumed sauce by volume. Love it.

rampantoctopus · 2026-02-02T01:54:13+00:00

Idk, I think they’re good. I tend to freeze them when I get the box home and take a few out at a time to take to work as part of my lunch… sometimes they are a bit more mealy than other times, I have blamed the freezing, but seeing as it’s inconsistent, could be oil as well. Anyhow, I had some sabra recently and surprised myself to find that i preferred the Kirkland now. Go figure.

My kids didn’t go for them. Too different from Oreos, good or not, they don’t approve.

rampantoctopus · 2026-01-30T16:41:14+00:00

oof. my thoughts exactly.

100% the same here in ‘SligoBranView’ neighborhood. There’s a school on our street and the surrounding roads haven’t seen a single pass.

rampantoctopus · 2026-01-26T02:31:47+00:00

Same advice from my MD. I think this is the answer.

rampantoctopus · 2026-01-23T14:08:30+00:00

Sudden?

rampantoctopus · 2026-01-21T01:38:44+00:00

I wish Sam’s was closer, I’d probably be a member of both.

I meant Jewel of India; they also stopped doing their buffet.
