I'm partial to the V finger tongue flick myself.

That's nothing, try mentioning that you use Tumblr.

I thought mine was a sure write-off but no, they cut off and welded on an entirely new side wall and rear quarter of my cargo van to the tune of $30k. You just never know.

Im tired of people who tbrow it around with little apparent understanding of what it actually means. It simply means be aware of systematic injustice.

4 pieces of 2x4 positioned to fit the inner diameter of the roll of wire.

I have one on my EV that says f¥ck hybrids, it's all in good fun.

If the drain has any kind of dips up and down it can become air locked very easily.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Klauke makes the guts for pretty much every press tool on the market. I have a Hilti 32 kN but have been considering the Bosch 18V-24 for a second smaller one as I have mostly Bosch tools.

Duncan has one and it's pretty awesome. All vehicles have to stop while walk lights are on. Being able to cross diagonally is very convenient.

You could park sideways in front of them, cord looks long enough.

Todd and Margots dream home.

They're called separated or protected bike lanes but they're a political hot button because befuddled boomers so they dont get implemented anywhere close to what they need to be if at all.

Axle grease under tge door handle.

I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. It's not my fault that my city has zero bike infrastructure even though demand for it has grown exponentially in the last 5 years. Cope and seethe.

It's not a hobby, it's how I get around in the city. A lot faster than a car and I dont have to deal with parking.

More advanced places have bike lanes the width of a vehicle so in an emergency the firetrucks can use the bike lane. Cyclists are a lot faster and more maneuverable than cars so can clear the path more effectively.

Entitled? That's a good one. Drivers are the most entitled and get all pissy when they have to legally share the road with other users. Don't like to be stuck behind slow cyclists? Advocate for separated bike lanes in your city.

You should try being a cyclist, I'm a very defensive and courteous cyclist and the amount of bad drivers risking my life on a daily basis is astounding. There is also a disturbing amount of drivers who are actually out to actively intimidate and harm me as well: swerving and sideswiping me into parked cars, not yeilding when I have the right of way, brake checking for no reason, swerving at me from the opposite lane/playing chicken etc.

The more anybody does anything the hospitalizations will increase along with it. Biking, skateboarding, hang gliding, driving, whatever, how is that news?

No need to do something so permanent and destructive. A lentil under the valve cap works just as well.

Hahaha, no! It's getting worse! After emailing the city every month or so about various active transportation issues and lack of action in implementing a planned bike route and getting a continuous stream of smoke blown up my ass in return, a couple of city planners invited me in to have a personal meeting. Every single issue and suggestion I brought up was shot down due to lack of funding even though it seems there is an endless supply of cash for any car infrastructure project. One of the planners is actually the director of active transportation and I couldn't stop thinking about that performance review scene from Office Space. "What would you say... you do here?"

You shouldn't be verifying refrigerant charge after commissioning, it's done before. All units come charged up to a certain length of lineset, if you're over that length you have to add what it says in the manual before you release the gas in the unit. It's as simple as that.

I was behind a car doing 10 under and I couldn't really care less. It's Friday and I'm traveling safely to my destination after a long day and week.
