I hear you. But “an eye for an eye” is very Old Testament, isn’t it? Where does the killing stop?

6400km this year? Hmmmm. If I ride to work at least 300 days this year, that would rack up ~2700km. That’s a 10min commute. I would have to go absolutely everywhere to hit that number.

I should find me a station wagon and a hot mom.

Was there a real hunt for Red October? These movies always seem to start from some piece of history.

I listen to my kids and understand their struggles. I feel like that wasn’t a thing when I was raised. That may be considered “woke” now.

I’m sorry you had that experience. I work with former dealer technicians and they are good at fixing cars. Decent people all around. The service writers are often to blame. But with all that money on the line there is plenty of blame to go around. Fuck cars.

Oh snap. No good at all. I believe the Aura and Astra were rebadged Opals. I was considering an Aura. I was going to replace the badges lol.

It is currently exporting lots of nice, smart people though.

I had an Ion, 5speed manual, no power windows and I loved it. The only thing that broke on it in 6 years/90k miles, was the driver door latch.

I’m using Beeline with a Velo 2. I keep my phone stashed in a bag. I look up routes in Trailforks and either import as GPX or plan a similar route in the Beeline app. It has a road rating system, so I can thumbs down dangerous roads. I’m not sure what Beeline does with that. Which reminds me, I need to rate more roads.

I LOVED riding on the back of a motorcycle, or in a pickup bed, as a kid.

That’s a burly down tube. I wonder if it will smash legs like the Lime bikes.

“Chevron is applying for a tax abatement for the project under Texas’ Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation (JETI) Act.”

Ha. Texas has nerds too.

Voting every election I knew about where I lived since 2000 (Nader for president!) Always Green party except for Obama in 2008 (we need reparations, but that was closest thing). Voted Kamala, because it was what it was. I was really excited about Andrew Yang, because UBI is brilliant. Now… I’m learning español. 🙁

Define painful. There’s nothing stopping us from starting co-ops for nearly everything. But the will has to be there. Too many people are happy with what they have. Violence only breeds more violence. Full stop. All it takes is a viral moment.

I watched some videos later which reinforced what I had learned the hard way; the B screw setting is critical for SRAM. There’s a template, even. I don’t think the B screw setting matters much to my old 7 and 8sp Shimano derailleurs.

Baffling. Wouldn’t unmitigated flooding hurt property values?

“…would severely cap payouts to affected homeowners and renters.”

There it is. Found the grift.
