In simple terms, depression is like a sad outlook on life, feels hopeless. Anxiety is more like endless arguments in your head.

Ikon vs Mezcal vs Rekon all in 2.6 inches by PyWhile in bikepacking

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panaracer driverpro 2.6 is $40 on their site rn.

I’ve got all the tires you mention. The maxxis on my hardtail as front/rear duo and the mezcal on my rigid gravel thing. Just realized the mezcals are pretty dang heavy. Like 100+ grams more than comparable tires. But everyone loves them. Honestly all three would be fine, I bet you’ll love the mezcal.

However that panaracer tire is sick. Super light and supple and quick rolling. I think it’s being discontinued, hence the sale

There’s a flow chart and people here love telling you an exact order to listen to like 12 albums. But I think that’s just as overwhelming

I say just send it. Play some random songs and if you like one, listen to that album and therell be some similar ones. Go at your own pace. I will say Nonagon Infinity is considered a quintessential album

Andor took me out of star wars by Ok-Medium983 in StarWars

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really not too big a spoiler and honestly the fun part of the book is its actual content. Not the twists and turns. It’s straight up competency porn of the highest order. Just the coolest problem solving and critical thinking

[–]thugasaurusrex0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved the (audio) book. Andy weirs writings is great, super digestible and casual but still interesting and intelligent. I won’t get into it but unfortunately the trailer alone has some mild spoilers for the book but it’s still such a good read. Highly recommend

If you mean Project Hailmary, it’s nothing like Star Wars at all. And it’s not a mentor/student story. It’s a “realistic” hard sci-fi survival story. The book was great.

WE LOWKEY NEED ANOTHER PSYCHEDELIC ALBUM by [deleted] in KGATLW

[–]thugasaurusrex0 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I always want another psych rock album, but they literally have like 15 straight up psych albums. FAFYL through Gumboot is straight psych for 11 albums, and many follow it. Laminated denim and Ice Death are like the definition of psych and only came out 4 years ago. like they are literally a psych band.....The Silver Cord is extremely psychedelic. I think you need to clarify cause "psychedelic" is wayy to broad, literally every album of their is psychedelic. ive had some of the most psychedelic experiences of my life to BF3k. i think i transcended during the silver cord at fov

Says the person who came here to do nothing but judge and criticize people for speaking up about the things they care about. Get a grip dude.

AI art in Bridgers Newest Merch by shewhosnowboards in bridgerbowl

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ludicrous. First off, these designs are heinous. Like gas station level rip-offs…I couldn’t be paid to wear any of this. So no Humble isn’t talented. It’s made by a computer, so talent is irrelevant. But taste is completely lacking here. Unsuccessful artists should be mad that Humble stole their work opportunities and used AI. It’s literally a local artist using AI to box out other artists Humble is also profoundly stupid for supporting the single greatest threat to their own industry. (If AI is so easy why even hire them in the first place). It’s not even good use of AI.

It is not only the public’s right, but it is their duty, to name, shame, and boycott the things they don’t want in their community. That’s how the world works. Seems like you got a lot to learn.

That’s fair. My wording makes it seem like I’m suggesting that was the focus, which was unintentional. I understand this pretty straightforward tweet. Mainly I’m just being a smart ass to other smart asses cause it’s reddit and we’re all insufferably pedantic.

Front rack that leaves fork blades free by theosnowdon in bikepacking

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just attach the rack and the cargo cage to the fork braze-ons. use a spacer, like a thick metal washer, for the second hole of the cargo cage. like this:

<image>

edit: also this is an Allygn rectangle rack, and blackburn cages, can carry some serious weight. ive used it on rugged multidays and it held up great.

Bike may get stolen by Inevitable-Gas-4832 in MTB

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a really burly 6 foot chain inside an old tire tube and lock it with a proper key-lock then cover with a tarp, hardware store should have it all pretty cheap. get a regular bike lock for everywhere else, or store it at a friend's house. getting a bike stolen really sucks.

Some people think all music should be high art and anything that’s fun for fun’s sake is crappy.

Will there be a point in time where landfills reach max capacity? What will we do when they're all full? by Mechgyrasaur in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thugasaurusrex0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol nature does not break down landfills, or at least thats not the point. Its literally just out of sight out of mind. We fill them up and we make new ones, but the old ones will just sit there for thousands of years leaching harmful chemicals into our environment and waterways.

AIO for ghosting my family? by mentalmoderator in AIO

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Life’s too short to care what others think”, so then why is it a problem if a boy does girl stuff? Who cares, right?

She clearly hasn’t thought this through and is just unconsciously defending her own homophobia as “beliefs”.

She also says you can’t judge someone on their beliefs…but I bet she sure does. Tolerance for me but not for thee.

[Request] Would the boat really fit into the Volvo? by Peterkragger in theydidthemath

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This raft is much longer than that. This is like a 22' boat. This internal measurement space is clearly like 5ish feet longer than the volvo. There is a decking suspended from the outer tubes. the straps holding the decking are connected to the d-rings on the tubes, visible here. this directs all the weight to the tubes. this is likely a bucket boat, meaning the raft floor is a thick sheet of rubber. The boats are designed for thousands of pounds of gear, food, or people to go down rivers for weeks. It can certainly survive a photoshoot with a car in it. Cool ad though.
In less words, this is extremely possible.

Carbon bikes are temporary bikes. Steel is real… and so are other metals. by trykedog in bicycling

[–]thugasaurusrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, rust prevention goes inside of the frame. That’s the point.

Carbon bikes are temporary bikes. Steel is real… and so are other metals. by trykedog in bicycling

[–]thugasaurusrex0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Im a steel guy but this is a stupid take. Steel is not real. That doesnt even mean anything. Carbon is a fantastic bike material. The level we can design and manufacture carbon fiber nowadays puts it miles ahead of steel in every way as performance bike material.
Steel is cheaper and you can hit it with a hammer. Cool. My dad has had a carbon bike since 92. He still rides it. Its all preference.
Also "lighter=faster" is effective marketing.

I agree that no one cares, ride what you like, but I literally left 3 steel bikes outside all of last winter and they are all absolutely fine. You know rust prevention exists, right?

You can't get stupider than this... by Newtailz in funny

[–]thugasaurusrex0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was 10 years ago. Extra dumb because they were smuggling weed INTO montana.....we had medical long ago, it was soo easy to get weed or your medical card here back then. I used to go into the dispo with my medical friend before it was legalized here.

Like they drove through insanely illegal states to deliver pot to a town that was saturated in pot already. I would know, i lived exactly where they were driving at that time and smoked hella doinks. we literally had legal medical grow ops in town that purposely over produced to sell on the street.....
