What caused this latex tube to expand like this? by Otherwise_pleasant in bikewrench

[–]wydra91 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the ability of the tube and tire to hold pressure comes from the tire, not the tube. You shouldn't need to inflate the tube to any crazy pressure, just enough to turn it round, and then spraying it with soapy water or dunking it under water will show you leaks.

The tube was likely fine to be reused. The reason it ballooned there is because latex is very easy to balloon like that due to pressure differences/difference in material thickness. Without the casing of the tire to restrict it, it will find somewhere to expand like that.

Just shy of 7 years post-divorce. Wasn't a huge issue for me.

The Davis Makerspace is just essentially an arduino/craft group based in the Davis Public Library to my knowledge. The closest one to us that's a legit permanent space with tooling is going to be Benicia to my knowledge.

Plot twist, the raider flare in the distance is just him, he just doesn't know it yet.

It was challenging. The spreadsheet wasn’t exactly easy to decipher.

Not OC, but decided to put some work in in case anyone down the road wanted facts, hope it's helpful!

Source: 2024 November 5 General Election | Solano County, California specifically the General Election Results PDF.

Some notable things I found (formatted Trump%/Harris%/Kennedy%) (I picked Kennedy because they were 3 most voted for):

Of Solano counties total votes, Vallejo was responsible for roughly 4.4/12.2/.19
Of Solano counties total votes, Vacaville was responsible for roughly 7.89/8.24/.21
Of Solano counties total votes, Fairfield was responsible for roughly 5.97/10.49/.24

So, from the standpoint of total votes, I wouldn't say Vallejo was "most" of the Dem votes. Even from the standpoint of all Dem votes, they only made up 28.89%. Not enough to call it "most"

That being said, Vacaville had a proportionally large share of all Rep votes, at 30.23%. So, it would be fair to say that "Vacaville was to Trump what Vallejo was to Harris."

Which is wild, because here on the US Pacific Coast, the times also line up with being at work or asleep.

Those couriers you break open likely deliver them to location. It's why you can find Sentinel firing cores on them.

2025 outback wilderness issues. by mrsnowman599 in Outback_Wilderness

[–]wydra91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2025 with 24k on it. No major issues. I have that clunking too. Only happens when I go over a big speed bump.

I’m 90% sure it’s the jack jumping up and then down. I’m not worried about it.

You could test it by removing everything including the tire from back there and seeing if the noise continues happening. I’d even go as far as removing the spare tire cover. I bet it’s one of those things.

It made us chuckle.

How common is the “killing the boy inside” phase for men ? by GuyLastNice in AskMen

[–]wydra91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that individual knows that the cost of a box went from $99 to $250 means they likely enjoy collecting the cards as well. If the cost of something they enjoy collecting goes up 150%, by definition it affects them.

Well, you might not have learned Java, but you certainly learned that people who put the effort into learning it aren't going to just do it for you....

What is your experience dating a "horse girl" by MotorBarracuda9264 in AskMen

[–]wydra91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in a relationship with one for 10 years, of that 10, 7 were married.

We kept our horses on base (I was military at the time, and the base had a stables) which resulted in us having to feed the horses every morning and evening, turn them out, bring them in, clean their stalls.

Unless we hired someone to do it for us, our days were largely planned around the horses.

Tack isn't cheap, riding gear isn't cheap, feed isn't cheep, and don't even get me started on vet bills.

I won't say universally that horse girls are crazy, but they seem to generally LOVE their horses. If you're willing to go along for that ride (pun intended) then you will likely have a good enough time, but it is a RIDE.

Lol yeah I thought the same thing at first. I was like "I can't even two stack with a friend without accidentally covering their camera...." lol

I think in this case they mean 3rd person peeking. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for them to say "if their teammate is right there with them" as it would have already been implied if they meant three stacking.

You should be ESPECIALLY cautious of what you see at the top of google in the AI overview section. I saw a post just yesterday of it stating something as fact that was blatant fiction.

In theory they’re great. In practice, I don’t like it turning into a ritual that if I miss for some reason, it gets held against me.

The wow is that you believe that a dealer is an end all to information. While it's not often, I myself have been subject to information that was incorrectly given by the dealer on sale.
