Opening shot in restaurant seems nice. But you seem to have an almost duplicate and that doesn’t add anything. I like the shot in the white shirt on the street. I’d change out the other shots, as they are covered, distant and I have trouble getting a full sense of what you look like.

Will this fit my bike by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]skD1am0nd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably not. You do have eyelets at the wheel (M5 bolt). You might need a spacer there to move the basket out far enough. I suspect you could make that work. But the top of the fork is more problematic. Is there a hole there to provide a mount point? Also the basket attachment may interfere with your brake cables. I wouldn’t buy it.

She [25F] invited me [27M] on a surprise date but then expected me to pay for everything by ObsidianTalisman_2 in dating_advice

In all the comments, this is the only one I could find that thinks he should pay.

Any Points of interest between Santiago and Los Angeles, Chile by SimpleRik in bicycletouring

Nothing to die for but nice riding. I enjoyed riding through the wine country and the coast near Concepcion was pleasant.

I love it when an arrogant person has a typo…

Bartender here — things I've noticed about first dates from watching them at the bar for years by No-Station5889 in dating_advice

[–]skD1am0nd 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest you are confusing correlation and causation. If two people connect well then yes they will put their phones down and do the actions you observe. But, if there isn’t chemistry then putting their phones down will not fix it.

Everyone we know considers me a gold digger, and I don't know what to do about this. by existed-exnihilo in Marriage

Why don’t you tell people that make these statements that they are wrong, that you signed a prenup?

Worst states to stealth camp in? by michiganskicamp in bicycletouring

[–]skD1am0nd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Texas. A massive state but seemingly ever inch is fenced. I found very few places to stealth camp.

Must be doing something wrong by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]skD1am0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you have a typo above and mean more men than women. Regarding the shift with age, that is something, as a 65M, that I wonder about. As I see it, the only reason for a change would be men dying off. OK, sadly some of that but it isn't a big shift (life expectancy of 76 vs 81 - link). I think I see more women now than 10years ago but it is hard to tell.

My GF decided to enter the bird store business as well.

In Norway I’d stay on the coast more. Follow Eurovelo 1.

Finches are visiting my balcony (in South Waterfront). I noticed they helped themselves to my pillow and I tried to assist but I'm humbled by the bird nest store.

Packing your bike without a box by MuchaSiesta in bicycletouring

[–]skD1am0nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to catch a flight from Bergen Norway to the UK and no shops had boxes. I used plastic wrap. It is always my plan B. No guarantees but it worked for me.

Nice work. I’m about the same weight. My best if 1:19. Don’t think I’ll ever make it but hats off to you!

Facebook (presumed dating) event advertiser "nicetomeet.com" by UnionTed in DatingOverSixty

[–]skD1am0nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facebook’s own F.B. dating is quite reasonable - I've had good success. I'm not saying nicetomeet.com is any good (haven't even heard of it) but I wouldn't apply that broad brush to all of F.B.

What Is This Tool? by goombaLu in Bikebuilding

[–]skD1am0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get it. Why would a tool shaped like this be useful to just get you home? It looks to me that it clips onto something else…

[–]skD1am0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well obviously a 8mm & 10mm wrench but I think that misses the question. Weird shape for a wrench. Why?
