    @catseye3 said in Ecocide: Ask the life forms in and around the Everglades. The people there love it. It has taken many years to fix the mess (ecocide) that the previous inhabitants left behind. But it has been worth it.

    @doctor-phibes said in Happy birthday Aqua!: @aqua-letifer said in Happy birthday Aqua!: @doctor-phibes said in Happy birthday Aqua!: @aqua-letifer said in Happy birthday Aqua!: Gatorskin tires I just bought some of those after getting sick of punctures. I did something wrong, as the inner tube blew the tyre clean off the rim. It made a hell of a noise, but seems undamaged - which is more than I can say for the inner tube. Maybe the rim pinched it? You really gotta push the tube into the tire to make sure the rim doesn't pinch it once you seat the tire. Mine aren't at all flexible in that area so I really gotta shove it in there. The sad part was there was a 2 minute delay after I pumped the tyre up before the loud bang occurred - just enough time for me to say to Mrs. Phibes ,'See, I told you wasn't completely useless at this stuff....' I cannot count the number of times I have completely, utterly, thoroughly lost my shit on the side of a road due to a problem that I didn't know how to solve at the time, but now I consider no big deal because it's happened so often by now.

    @George-K no need to change passwords. The data was not obtained via password hacking, and passwords were not exposed.

    @89th said in Chain Failure. Eating it. Singlespeeds.: @aqua-letifer said in Chain Failure. Eating it. Singlespeeds.: So I got Aniki, my single speed out. He needed his tires pumped up. That's it. No rust, cables are fine, wheels are still nearly perfectly true, quiet as a mouse. I absolutely love singlespeeds. Aniki is the shit. Dude I remember riding it one time, it was SO awesome. Also, glad you didn't die today. That too. You did indeed! I dunno how hilly Minnesoooooota is but I can still get away with one gear here. The DC area's got literally the one hill.

    A pretty damning indictment of Trump's behaviour after losing the election. It's also nice to see that Mitch McConnell provided such awe-inspiring leadership.
