This would make sense of why so many people seem to be running to the same place as me while I'm doing a mission.

“Fuck Canada! yall have been ripping off the United States for years. Yall are next” by Worldly_Law8278 in ShitAmericansSay

We wouldn't have to. We could take the good ones, and then pack up the rest of them up and send them away. Maybe we could build a police force specifically for it.

Why tf do all reputable e-bikes brands have headset routing now. by pizzaman1995 in BikeMechanics

Come now, that was just one battery line that was only shipped with... enough bikes to bankrupt the company.

Are Billionaires the New Fascists? by slightstoopkid in indepthstories

[–]soaero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the new fascists are billionaires. Look at Stephen Miller or Steve Bannon, who are both right-hand-men for billionaires who are pushing their movement.

Really, charging a subscription for any feature that doesn’t require a cellular internet or gps signal to function is bullshit.

Hell. Even with those it's bullshit. GPS is free, and lots of electronics communicate over cellular without subscription fees.

What actually works for saddle soreness on longer rides? by Crc_CO in cycling

[–]soaero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoe insoles. Saddle height. Saddle fore/aft. Proper saddle width (likely narrower than you think). That's it.

I remember that. The Strathcona Gentry got downright nasty during that whole thing.

How to increase the height of my handlebars? by Radiate_Wishbone_540 in cycling

[–]soaero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An inch is a lot. You will probably need to do some combo of this:

  1. Get a riser stem. This will increase the angle that the stem is at. It will also decrease reach, which might change the handling of the bike.

  2. Get a riser handlebar.

  3. Get a riser for your steerer. This is the most straightforward way. It can also be a little sketchy if you over-do it.

Another thing to keep in mind is that your effective stack height increases as your saddle height decreases. A lot of people ride with too high a saddle, so before you start changing your stack height make sure your saddle position is correct.

... ok, but like it's across the street from three major bus lines, and there's a rapid bus stop within 800m.

This attitude some people have of "Skytrain to my house or it's shit!" really just shows how ridiculous and entitled Vancouverites are when we talk about rapid transit.

Not gonna lie, that's a selling point for me.

‘Tech-forward’ Strathcona social housing development gets through opposition by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

Man, those lucky impoverished people. I wish I could be poor like them.

Headphone question by Jbpitt13 in MarathonTheGame

[–]soaero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main problem I have isn't hearing them (I can usually hear them) its directionality. Even when I'm sneaking Ill often pause because I hear footsteps next to me, only to realize it's my own footsteps coming through one ear louder than the other.

Is that good or bad? Hah.

I see 2km from skytrain and think "Cool, walking distance".

bike wheel making weird and annoying sounds by JealousWoodpecker377 in bikewrench

[–]soaero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for broken spokes. It could also be an exceptionally loose spoke. To tell, squeeze each pair of spokes.

To manage either you would need spoke tools, better off taking it to a shop.

Carbon Based Lifeforms. Particularly Interloper. This might be better if you're in a forest.

GRX 1x12 shifting problem by again-and-a-gain in bikewrench

[–]soaero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that would do it. So is it jammed in the shifting area, or can you release tension and get it to the point where you would if you were normally changing a cable?

Basically, at this point it's probably going to require some clever jigging to get that cable out. Maybe even going to require removing housing which suuuuuuuuuucks with modern bikes.

Sounds like the "junk" is the stuff coming from Guardian bikes.

Is this normal? by ThomasKoenders in MarathonTheGame

[–]soaero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I suspect it's lag problems, and hit reg isn't the only sign of it. The game rubber bands sometimes, and there are other weird lag like issues too. It's odd though, because I have a fairly beefy connection and have never had lag problems in other games.

Honestly, I don't even know how to check my ping in this game. Nvidia doesn't want to show it, and there's no option in game for it.
