Buckwheat waffle morning. Four down, about 20 more to go.

Shit, saw this too late. Good luck all!

Was texting with an industry friend and asked him how the supply chain situation was for them:

"It's beyond crazy. We made a brake order in early November and we won't see the order until May. Raw...

Perpetually living in the thermo-neutral zone, at best, does you no favors. Temperature stress creates a hormonal response similar to exercise but without the wear-and-tear.

Last statement is the...

I'm fully prepared for things to go downhill in hurry after 40, though I do take really good care of myself. I'm kind of over riding lifts anyways since it's become such a junkshow here. At this...

I'd happily take loss of their FAA license in lieu of jail time.

Me: 38, can still ski like I did at 28, though I get a lot fewer days/runs in due to the normal middle-aged family- and career-related reasons. I've had to dial it back on the bike due a bad crash...

I never heard the follow-up on that. Glad to hear they faced some kind of consequence, even if it didn't materially affect them.

Hey now, Peyote is a fine upstanding member of Kingdom Plantae that would never voluntarily associate with that asshole.

Hard to comment on this without something specific to reference. He definitely goes straight to the n^th level on whatever he's discussing. When he and Lex Fridman get together it can be hard to...

Fair enough. But, I can tell you with certainty that Weinstein having "no regard for most of society out of their Burning Man invitee list" is dead wrong.

I've listened to quite a few hours of interviews with Weinstein and that's not how I'd characterize him at all. For starters he's not a billionaire: ...

Well that bodes well for all the new trail they're going to build out there....

I'm anti-death penalty, but my conviction is wavering.

Also:

"Now-viral photos show the man prosecutors have identified as Brock sporting a military helmet, green tactical vest and...

I wonder what all that cost in mid-80s dollars? Versus what a smartphone that costs $400 in 2020 dollars can do. Hell, the pic doesn't even include GPS which had yet to exist. What a time to be...

That definitely looks a lot different than the last time I was there. Tubeless is mandatory, that place is like the goathead mothership.

Nigeria?

Heh.

"Think of the kids!"

"OK, let's raise taxes to better fund schools and pay teachers more."

"Fuck no, teachers are overpaid already and more money won't fix what's wrong with public...

Heh, worth it for the couch hauling alone. Couch has been awesome, BTW.

Found a killer deal on a F150 FX4. Super clean, 97,000 miles and a matching topper, paid $7,100 out-the-door with tax, title, etc. Drives great, love it. I've put about 30k on it and besides...

Sorry, GL, hope you can ride this out.

Maybe not quite $50k, but way more than the truck is worth for sure (though it is damn clean and low miles for an '02).

#priorities

It's not uncommon for me to have 6-7 bikes back there.

But it will make you less likely to notice it.

Can't sling bikes over the tailgate of a minivan. Though, tailgates on late-model trucks are so thick they've pretty much ruined them for this purpose. Good thing I drive an '02 :fmicon:

UHP says there are credible threats against Utah elected officials and state properties, 2021 legislative session will be completely online: ...

These are all entirely reasonable points, but lets be honest, short beds suck.

I clicked on this thread expecting bitching about masking wearing and travel restrictions, so this is refreshing in a somewhat sick and twisted way. Thanks for all you do and the same to detrusor,...

Pulmonary fibrosis is generally considered irreversible (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-fibrosis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20353695), though some quick searching does show...

The snorkel is my favorite part. As if anyone will ever drive it through water deep enough to require a snokel, or that the electronics wouldn't fry if you actually did.

Literally LOL'ed at "Good luck at the paintball tournament." Klepper has some balls.



Yep, this.

Nothing to offer but vibes, that's awful. Who's her surgeon? Can't recommend the RCM clinic at the PC Hospital enough after AC's TKR last year.

They thought they were documenting a righteous and heroic act.

Apologies if this is re-run. Jordan Klepper was there:

Like Norway?

Long-term is definitely the concern with the E13, especially given that they've kludged together an installation system that skirts around the XD license. Pinkbike is supposed to have a long-term...

Not full Syria-level, no. Something less severe but still very serious is a low probability, but well above zero. I'd be the first person to call such a thing irrational and ridiculous but there's...

Wow

Hating Jews while also needing Israel to exist so that the Second Cumming of thy Lord Jeebus can occur is definitely one of the more interesting case studies in cognitive dissonance. If I had to...

This post prompted me to look it up...holy fucking fuck.

For everyone else that was too lazy, it stands for “6 Million [Jews] Wasn’t Enough” :eek:


Austin, on the whole I still think you're...

There's way more torque involved in a golf swing than most people realize. Add in only rotating one direction and it's a physiological disaster waiting to happen. Injury rates in golf are super...

Pinkbike had pretty favorable things to say about the shift quality on the new Helix cassette when it launched in October:

"I put the Helix R on Giant's new Trance X Advanced Pro, pairing it with...

Traveling carny strippers with a "No fingers, only tongues" rule ranks high on my list of things I wish I didn't know.

The BSL point is a good one. My BSL is 275.

I'm aware that their lead times can be long. It's pretty unsurprising given their location. I have a perfectly functional cassette (XX1 that Phall hooked me up with for a song and still has lots of...

Sweet, keep me posted. Hopefully Pinkbike's long-term review of the E13 Helix isn't too far away, either.

Distant second, by a country mile.

Context, motherfucker, do you speak it?
