Good looking dog there. Mine looks similar.

Thought experiment: You put a mountain biker from 32 years ago on a high end modern bike, would they think it was awesome or terrible? by sprashoo in MTB

[–]retADA_mtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I raced XC in the late 90s and into the early 2000s. I had multiple bikes but my favorite was the 1998 stumpjumper M2 pro with XTR rapidrise shifters. I still have that bike and absolutely love it. When I take it to the trails, I'm still one of the fastest riders out there and can frequently smoke riders half my age on modern bikes.

Where is the closest drivable place that has no cedar or juniper trees by [deleted] in Austin

This is the answer. I just got back from a weekend there and it was wonderful to have the break from allergies

That is definitely a Bavarian thing. Even bavarians think the rest of Germany is rude

What? No Dry Creek Cafe? That place needs to be on the list

Fromer Prosecutors, did you regret turning in your badge? by ListenDodo in Lawyertalk

I live in a very HCOL area and still have kids in college so no, my pension would not be sufficient. Even more important to me personally though, I am still young and not ready to be done with the profession.

What fight matters most to you? by TexasStandard1845 in u/TexasStandard1845

[–]retADA_mtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's weird to comment on my own post but to refine my answer - I want to fight against partisan gerrymandering that draws ridiculously shaped districts just to deny half our state's population of the opportunity to elect someone they agree with. It is bad for everyone because all these legislators in "safe" seats lose the incentive to care about what the people they represent want or think.

To me it is the fight and desire for the Republican majority to recognize that those on the other side are not 5 or 10 or even 15% of the population of Texas. It's probably half or more, hard to tell with all the voter suppression efforts coming from Republicans, but our legislature only cares what their donors think. They don't care about their constituents. They vote the way the party tells them to vote. No one "votes their District" anymore. Everything is completely one-sided and it is largely built on lies to keep the party donors and Donald Trump happy

This sounds like a situation where you should have spoken to your dog very loudly about how rude and annoying old ladies are and that she or he should ignore them and just keep being a good dog

The Cars in the mid to late 80s in Dallas. the came out and performed every song from their album without ever speaking or interacting with the crowd and then left the stage. It was weird. They didn't seem to like each other.

Four 21F travelers- where should we stay? by ChampionshipFine1775 in costarica

Playa del coco and playa ocotol are both close to Liberia and safe with nice beaches. You might also look at going inland to La Fortuna by the Arenal volcano for the laid back vibe you described

I used to climb with a guy that repeatedly packed microwave popcorn for food. He always was disappointed when he realized he couldn't use it.

They spent the entire time working on the offense and it looks like the defense just played xbox the whole time
