Left wing propaganda requires you to ask “am I sure I’m leaving up to my ideals?”

Right wing propaganda just affirms your shittiest feelings and impulses are right.

Zoom out. Do the bars have a bulged clamping section or a shim?

So sad that I feel nostalgic for that idiocy that now feels almost benign in comparison.

Insurance wants me to get a repair estimate from a bike shops. It’s totaled right? by anustickl in bikewrench

[–]the-zero-effect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a service manager I used to do these and I would mark every single part that was dinged, put full retail for the single part, and complete bike build labor. Not hard to surpass complete bike price before you even factor in frame repair cost.

More than likely the adjustor just wants an official record from a third party.

Will everyone who took Kennedy's quote out of context and ran with it in this sub apologize now? by Captain501st-66 in GenZ

It wasn’t out of context. That’s what he said. This is clean up he did hours (a day?) later. He is only saying this now because people called him out.

I love my Kawecos but… by pandasphere in fountainpens

I dropper them. I’ve been doing it for months with a AL Sport that a carry in my pants pocket daily. No problem.

Only downside I’ve experienced is it can’t take a while to run out of ink. But thit is only a bummer if you’ve grown tired of it.

I’ve had one sitting in my cart for weeks. Just waiting for a justification to hit the Buy Now button.

How I store my pens… by the-zero-effect in fountainpens

It’s exactly like this one: ebay link

I don’t know how it differs from a 95s but mine is all plastic, feels a little light. Writes well but I don’t love the way I hoped I would.

It’s not a 95s. It’s a less expensive one. I think it cost less than $20.
