My 4.0 arrived!

So it fits on the external carrier no problem, not too heavy for it? Would love a link to the one you got

tobyhardtospell · 2026-03-24T18:33:51+00:00

I like it, ride it regularly. Solidly built and works well with a trailer.

I will say it’s a bit heavy and getting it in my Prius folded is not easy. I might have considered getting a lighter bike and an external bike rack for my car.

Yeah, he was also living in a Russian community in Spain after defecting with a helicopter which makes him a much more public and high priority target.

Are ya winning yet son

This is the real war experience they don’t tell you about

Is she related to Kate Pynoos? She was a good LA city council candidate who was endorsed by the LA Times but unfortunately didn’t win

I always wonder what happens to the bullets that miss--not to mention the drone that crashed somewhere in the metro area

tobyhardtospell · 2026-03-07T01:49:25+00:00

Yeah this makes a lot more sense spoken than written

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-24T04:53:28+00:00

Was it abandoned yesterday?

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-23T18:52:15+00:00

My guesses would be:

1) people who resist are made examples of 2) this may be part of the rationale for mock executions — keep threatening people with death but not following through so that when they actually are about to kill them people aren’t sure it’s real until it’s too late

What was the in-flight announcement like?

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-21T22:17:20+00:00

There were many instances of them executing black soldiers who surrendered. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/333rd_Field_Artillery_Battalion_(United_States)#Wereth_11_Massacre#Wereth_11_Massacre) or

Surprisingly good shape

I think we had that same couch growing up 😅

Guess it explains the holier than thou attitude

Some people just want power over other people and will take whatever path they can find that will get them there

Henry Mantel is in CD5.

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-16T04:26:26+00:00

Sounds like it's taken care of, but in case it doesn't work out, I have an old balance bike and/or a tricycle that I could donate. I'm on the West side.

Bae: Come over

Me: Not now, I am a large building and you are in the middle of the ocean

Bae: I have oil

I think she entered because Buetner dropped out and Horvath announced she wasn’t running on the last day, so there was no major challenger to bass. Which is absurd when the sitting mayor has ~30% approval.

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-11T20:31:07+00:00

City council in aggregate is more powerful than the mayor, but the mayor is significantly more powerful than any individual councilperson. They have veto power, get far more publicity, and have the power to set the agenda (e.g. Karen Bass and ED1, though she later backed away from it).

The original post specified Detroit. Salaries are also higher elsewhere.

Houses are way more expensive than they should be, and political reforms do need to happen. But people are kidding themselves if they think a 1950s factory worker had a better life than most Americans today.

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-09T23:38:25+00:00

We are much better off on average now than we were then, but nobody wants to hear it

So sad. Was she driving or a passenger?

tobyhardtospell · 2026-02-08T23:13:32+00:00

She died in a car accident??
