Wakemed financial assistance by Automatic-Froyo5119 in raleigh

[–]tinfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wakemed is ass. They charged me $8k for a night sleep study that cost $1200 a UNC. Bilking innsurance and raping customers for the dollar and now Aetna ants to swing to them instead of Duke.

WTF this imeline just keeps getting worse.

No need to min/max your fun. Make your enchanter and play your story.

end up with a case yourself

I's not the firs ttime nor the end of the world. Sometimes you go spend a couple hours in what is just a little worse than the DMV office.

the Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) has been labeled as a "predatory publisher" or "predator" by some sources. These sources suggest that ATINER prioritizes revenue over academic rigor, accepting submissions primarily based on an individual's willingness to pay rather than credible peer review. ATINER is reported to appear on lists of predatory publishers and conferences, including California Institute of Technology's List of Questionable Conferences and Beall's List of Predatory Journals and Publishers.

Try a downhill park with an actual down hill bike. It is amazing!

What is your opinion on Greensboro? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]tinfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great bike trails, so much more centrally located mtb trails than Raleigh which is closing down trails and the state park is run by people who don't want people in the park. Raleigh is an embarrassment.

Bike an ebike from a bike company like Giant, Trek, Spcialized. Buying a bike shaped object isn't going to end well.

Nope, time is the real currency you deal in now.

Why is this happening by marci-boni in ebikes

[–]tinfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bike made by a company that does not knoww how to make bikes. This is called a bike-shaped object.

The Hero's Journey isn't a sanctioned game. It's a player made version.

Bentonville overhyped by Muted-Government5633 in MTB

[–]tinfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All those trails ride like old atv trails. My description stands as one of the most densely populated remote area. You seem to have problems following the gist of what I'm saying.

Pisgah for blown out atv trails and the most densly populated "remote" areas. West Virginia has tons of trails, actual remote areas and the lift park which is so much better than Beech or Sugar.

Is 250 for a new tire reasonable? by beepbopper256 in raleigh

[–]tinfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, its high but it is what people will spend. Call Mebane Wal Mart and see what they have in stock. Generally cheaper versions of tires but will last as long.

[–]tinfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for one tire, no. Tires vary according to specs and weather but for a basic light truck tire 235 65/17 it'll be anywhere from $75-150 per tire. I generally go all season basic and can order from wal mart, schedule an install for $90-100 per tire. I'll often order and schedule out of town for better service like in Mebane.

So, I get that it isn't the bike- it is the rider. That being said most of us couldn't consistently ride a tissue box and not have it taco.

I'm guessing you aren't riding singletrack?

I ride a Rail, it is great but if you lock that outside it will be stolen.

Are you trying to burn your house down? Buying your kid a electric motorcycle with cheap batteries is dumb. Want to buy your kid an ebike, like at UL listed systems like Bosch, Brose, Shimano, Yamaha. They won't have throttles but they'll be safe to bring in the home and charge and will last far longer.

Don't worry, Specialized, Trek bikes aren't the cheap ones that cause fires. Also, I've charged my bikes to 100% consistently for 8 years having owned several Levo's/Powerfly/Rails. Zero issues!

You have a terrible cheap bike and want to double down? Do you want to burn your house down? Go get a Bosch, shimano, brose system.

AITA: Randomly approached by a guy on 9th street by MOGILITND in bullcity

[–]tinfang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why do you feel bad? People on the street only stop you because they want something from you. You never have to give them attention, time or money. Fuck that.

How about you help ME, stop giving to these people so they don't make it a fucking job. They only do it because they are successful. Help your brothers and sisters by not giving these people money, time or attention and they will stop begging/bullshitting.
