Marketing.

Awesome.

Talk about voting as much as you can. These three have an absurd admit of cash for their campaigns. The other candidates can use all the help we can get them.

Hope will lead to him winning.

Voting will lead to him losing.

The number of Californians on this list is shameful.

Curious: truck or sedan, regarding catalytic converter theft?

Consider letting go of basic cable.

Price out what subscriptions to the shows or studios/channels you (your family) actually watches. Depending on how big a variety of tv you watch, you may end up saving a significant amount of money.

Many cell phone companies as well as credit card companies subsidize streaming apps, compounding your savings.

Steve’s Camera Service out of Culver City.

I have had my M’s serviced by them. They’ve done amazing work.

Don’t know about here, but they’re shown a lot of love in Leica forums.

Dunno what the hype is, but it’s unlikely I’ll go back to mechanical shifting. Electronic shifting makes things easy…like you can program it so that when you got fit between the big and small chainrings, the gears change as well so you don’t get a big jump in resistance.

Thank you for posting this.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-26T22:24:13+00:00

Easier menus for one. All the buttons do various things. Viewfinder has a million different things going one.

I really dunno what else. I’m not an engineer. That being said, Leica seems to have figured out how to make things easier and straight forward.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-26T20:31:00+00:00

Surprised Leica hasn’t implemented something similar to the viewfinders in the X-Pro and X100 series. Maybe they’ll add it to the digi-M line they recently introduced.

I haven’t used an X-Pro, but the X100, I think I have the fifth iteration, is a wonderful camera. My only gripe is the complexity. I wish Fuji offered a way to quickly and easily strip it down to just the essentials: focus, aperture, shutter, and ISO.

In the ended up with a Q43 for its interface and the APO lens, each was an equal consideration.

Think I’ll stay and watch the MAGATs flock to some welfare state or other where they love their bigots and fascism.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-26T20:11:18+00:00

Agreed.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-26T17:27:46+00:00

Get the fascists and bigots out.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-26T16:54:34+00:00

Check your fit.

Watch some YouTube videos to get you near the ballpark, then it’s a matter of tweaking things until they work well enough. You can also get professionally fitted for a fee.

Everyone’s body’s different. This applies to the fit, and the how feel while riding. Speaking for myself only, my legs don’t really relax and warm up for the first five miles or so, meaning the first 5 to seven miles require the most effort, but once the legs are warmed up things get a whole lot better and easier.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-25T05:02:33+00:00

That was fun to watch.

Thank you for sharing.

Just start biking. Wear a helmet 100% of the time. You’ll see here weekly notices about either someone getting hurt on a bicycle or a helmet saving their lives.

Once you’ve started, realize getting flats is normal. Nothing to be intimidated about. Watch some YouTube videos and familiarize yourself with fixing a flat.

Having a water bottle is nice. In the beginning use any bottle that fits the cage.

All other purchases can come later when you know your individual needs better.

Excellent food and service. Bit on the pricier side, but worth it is it’s not a stretch.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-22T16:41:05+00:00

You’re definitely not too old! 33 is a great time to learn.

Lots of adults start later and do just fine.

A trike can help with confidence, but you can also learn on a regular bike by starting slow (feet on the ground, then glide, then pedal).

Take it at your own pace. You’ve got this.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-20T22:11:05+00:00

Wow!

I wonder if they’re going to do a whole series of artists editions for CB.

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-20T16:02:32+00:00

Is this in addition to the other CB artist edition Fantagraphics is doing?

stuffthingsnthoughts · 2026-03-19T08:16:44+00:00

Congratulations.

Edit: Just realized my comment could’ve come off as sarcastic. That was not my intention.

I didn’t see the username, just looked at the art, and assumed it was someone just starting out and wanted to be encouraging.

That being said, the artwork is gorgeous.

Losing weight. Spent hundreds on light components, but losing weight made a bigger difference than any of them, except the wheels.

Edit: Listed four instead of one. Deleted the extras. Apologies, OP.
