  1. deglaze...is that like when she washes her face, afterwards?
  2. it's a fucking show dog, with fucking papers.
  3. nice work, KuRdt. a buddy and I were out there today and wondered the same thing w/r to Deception. I guess that's what it's about: being deceptive. not sure why they split it at what I think once was Swag Rock and where the map is posted now into 1/4 Notch and Double Down. did you hit all those new lines on Snail with the ladder drops and whatnot? or in the far opposite direction to Candyland and Gnargasm? I rarely go over that way unless I'm just dying for mileage. the feature itself is far scarier looking than it actually is. btw, I ended up ordering some spare pads from a bike shop in Canada. Dunbar. should be here next week. iirc, the had 8 on the shelf when I ordered. no one else I could find had 2 wheels worth. prettymuch the same price as anywhere else.
  4. buncha article-not-readin' mother fuckers in here. Instacart guy never saw him before raising the alarm. to Dahobbs point, Instacart guy was probably also smart in leaving the AR since he is black, himself. I suppose you could call it a victory for equality that the guy made it to the bathroom with all that gear, in the first place.
  5. must be a shitload of drive-bys going on, if hit rate is the only criteria that moves the needle, here. meanwhile, there's an interesting ongoing debate (elsewhere) about what constitutes a mass shooting/murder event. but whatever. you're right (again), of course. let's limit the discussion to the radicalized or Just Plain Nuts, since what we also like to do is get on our high horse about legislating cures for shit like insanity. but, eh. nobody cares, because nobody died. for all we know, he was just tooling up to head out back and blow up some milk jugs and cans, and where else was he going to get those but at a grocery store? a perfectly reasonable explanation.
  6. my wife's extra laptop power supply she leaves at home has a bright white lit ring around the jack. stays lit even after unplugging it from the wall. have to tuck the jack end in a drawer on her desk when I crash on the futon in the office.
  7. we need the same pads, then. my brakes are SLX, which is the same as the XT but without the mysterious Free Stroke adjustment screw. I only rode RHR one time, years ago, before the fires out there. always kinda had the 24hr race there on my bucket list, but have never gotten around to it. my understanding is the fr512 area is accessible from outside RHR.
  8. you tried these guys, yet? https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/manufacturers/orbea.html what kinda pads you looking for? if you're down to the pins, I have some Shimano 2-piston style with the fins that have some life left. Thanks for the reminder to stock up on pads for my current brakes, though. I'm gonna be out of town, all next week. but I think I need to check out Fr512 in Smithville and learn me some jumping skills. more reps to be had there a whole lot cheaper than Spider.
  9. I know, it sucks! similar thing happened to me (video on previous page). found a level on eBay in Taiwan. put it on last sunday for a South ride. squirted a fist-sized rock on a steep descent and got sent into a cedar sapling on the left, which promptly squeezed that brake lever for me and sent me OTB. it was right above the lip of about a 2ft drop, so I had a long time to think about how much it was gonna hurt while I swung through that high arc. bruised shoulder, bruised ribs. fortunately, after I got my wind back, the pain didn't get serious until I got to the truck. we cut it short, but we still got almost 900ft of climbing in 5.5miles. but sleeping's for shit. hurts to do anything but blink. double-fuck sneezing or coughing (never realized how bad I am at swallowing my spit).
  10. the speed limit on turning the VHF knob on the tv. not specifically defined, but we got yelled at by my dad if you went too fast for his comfort at the moment. prettymuch just had to keep the clicks from channel to channel distinct from each other to prevent "wearing out the contacts". since we were the de facto remote control for my parents, this was a sacred duty.
  11. ok, but how about them warlocks?
  12. the seats in my 2000 taco are shot (driver-side springs, anyway). 60/40 bench. need to figure out if the rails are the same.
  13. And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right Where I belong I'm right Where I belonnnnnnnng
  14. who's gonna tell him about PEX Herpes?
  15. is it that hard? is it really that fucking hard? jfc on a popsicle stick. /trivial shit
  16. I make the same mental translation when I hear Manu Ginobli to Heywood Jablowme as I do Gus Malzahn to Harry Ballsagna. they're not even close. it annoys me. carry on.
