Taking it in the shorts, indeed.

CS complained in that thread too. I think he wanted the Ukraine thread moved too.

Interesting tech article on AC https://www.vox.com/recode/2022/8/10/23300032/air-conditioner-planet-climate-change-heat-pumps

Dry Hill was some fun shit, reminded me of Galby in the early days. Saw Exactly one other rider. Next time thru we will hit Port Gamble on our way to Seattle but didn’t have time to include that...

Heat wave descending tomorrow in PDX, so we’re heading to Port Angeles tomorrow morning. #vancamp ideas welcomed if you have any. Heading to Squamish right after, figure we will hit some E WA rides...

Respect.

^ great info, thx y’all. Id heard about that Strawberry Ridge option, thx for jogging my memory. I just got some addl beta on some newer trail options from a friend. I’ll just track the weather &...

Thx Falcon, our PNW trips usually include riding in Squamish / Whistler & if we have time we will go there after Bellingham.

I kept it ‘general Mtb’ to get a variety of ideas, since we have a week & are flexible. As a PNWer, I’ve done all the obvious and accessible stuff (eg Tiger) and once we get to Bellingham we will be...

Got family to visit in Bham Aug 13, which means we have Aug 8-12 to explore WA a bit (in mt hood area now). Things are getting hot again next week, but maybe there’s some good riding zones in E...

People in the thread were making posts indicating confusion about the Badlands version of the bronco Sport in an off road context. It’s irrelevant whether Name Redacted cares, unless this is one if...

I didn’t pay too much attention to bronco sport reviews but I recall a competent site that said the badlands version really reset his prejudices & was best in this category when it came to off-road. ...

It’s a Jeep thing

Sure I’ll try some sealant. Can you tell us a bit more about the Mineral Particulates? Is the idea that they form a stable dispersion in container but flocculate under the shear forces as...

Just make sure she understands why Transit >> Sprinter. The Merc is like the Rossi Soul 7 of the category.

Oops sorry. I’m usually pretty good at avoiding the Moran quotes. Time for another coffee.

Periodically our village idiot posts SM lies like this one, and it amuses me how quickly they can be debunked....

Yes, that’s why I prefer 6 bolt for traveling. Removal and installation is quick, and uses a mini tool that I always have with the bike anyway.

Center lock requires a tool I normally wouldn’t...

Complete F150 engine / 4x4 drivetrain. His company is listed on the back of the rig.

Different industry guy than what I mentioned above, but the takeaways seem similar. Busse seems to have been literally in the core group of...

So you’re saying a gun industry guy is ‘our side’?

And you’re saying that his observations about the formation and growth of those newer companies with more ‘tactical’ or AR branding aren’t...

^ agree, crazy complex. My neighbor just got back from fighting Oak, gave me a download.

Humidity much higher today here in Tahoe.

Are you presenting a false dichotomy? My circle of friends are all ‘getting on with their lives’ just fine. We wear seatbelts despite the extra inconvenience, we go to the billion restaurants with...

As everyone laughs at RA coming out as a doorknob licker, don’t forget what I already pointed out…the intentional doorknob lickers out there are propagating and widening the pandemic & thereby...

Gun industry guy writes about the marketing transformation from ‘hunting and home protection’ to ‘tactical’ ammosexual cosplaying fantasies: ...

As this thread has explained hundreds of times, the ‘it’ you refer to is not static. It’s mutating. And some of those mutations enable it to largely behave as a new disease. There’s no upside to...

Sweet jeebus. It’s like the poster child for why ‘crew cab for fatties to mall crawl’ and ‘short bed full size truck’ are symbols of society’s decline.

Holy shit, 7.8 miles per kWh! https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a40690381/2022-mercedes-benz-eqxx-prototype-drive/

Obviously hi tech lightweight stuff might not make it to production version,...

Yeah I posted yesterday about it heading toward Ferguson scar. Hope that helps. Meanwhile predictions of humidity increase & possible thunderstorms this week…

Or you could look it at from the perspective that NorCal/OR/WA were nearly fire-free thru late July, and thus resources weren’t spread too thin, but then we had 3 fires in one region that were likely...

The Alfine 8 spd has a lot of mtb fans and a reasonably robust reputation. It’s what, $190? Not sure.

As of 7 pm:

Pretty sure they just aired down for #overlanding

Yeah that Oak fire is already at 9000 acres. We were up on the rim trail today and saw major smoke down South but it was far away. Tonight it appears to have crept all the way to the edge of the...

There’s a thin line between pathos and bathos.

Back in 2016 the ARB was considered very reliable, so I got it for our Transit…no complaints. A bear partially broke the latch and ARB sent a free replacement right away. 200 W solar and 200 amp hr...

Condolences. That sucks.

Nobody said the gummint can’t be criticized.

In a similar vein, dumbasses can be called out as dumbasses.

I’ve read some Tesla 3 user reports over the years. Naturally the data vary, since it’s hard to control all variables, but if you assume 70+ mph then a 10% reduction in miles per kWh appears to be...

This forum (probably this thread) discussed roof box impact on ev range.

Saving 50 g per wheel is worth the lotion motion.


Allegedly.

Good news, ice floes are on the increase!

Thanks, I don’t follow him on Twitter so I missed that one. Hope Pootin saw it though.

Our house roof isn’t suitable for solar panels, but we have a spot in the front yard that would be good for a one vehicle solar car port as long as it could fit an 8’ 7” tall vehicle. Since we...
