We should be careful about shaming people who don’t kneel. Everybody got all bent out of shape when Kaep knelt, even though it was his first amendment right to damn well do what he pleased. But now that everybody’s all woke we’re doing it all over again - getting bent out of shape when someone doesn’t kneel.

OK let’s play that card - the cops didn’t attack them because they’re black. So then why didn’t the cops respond to the ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Richmond with riot gear and tear gas? Or the dozens of other ‘protests’ by ‘militias’ carrying assault weapons and wearing flak jackets? Nothing screams ‘peaceful protest’…

Remember occupy wall street? Those protesters probably did about as much damage, if not more, than BLM. They ruined parks, committed vandalism and left shit and trash everywhere. None of them were tear-gassed, pepper sprayed or shot with rubber bullets. In fact, many were paid as a result of lawsuits after the City…

You should track your hours and build cost, like what Peter used to do in Practical Enthusiast; I’d be curious to see how it stacks up in the end. 

Yeah, ‘Introducing the ARB Base Rack - a slight, iterative improvement over existing technology!’ doesn’t have the same ring to it. 

Get the Kuat NV2.0 with the x2 bike add-on for the hitch. I have the Yakima High Road roof rack and it’s a huge PITA, especially if you have an SUV that rides even a bit high (I specifically chose the High Road because you don’t have to remove either wheel; I find it pointless to transport a bike outside the car when…

To be fair, the dovetails are actually an improvement over T-slots. If you want to remove/swap something on a T-slot, you have to pull off everything else that’s adjacent, so you can slide the bolt in the T-slot all the way to the end. The dovetail design ARB uses allows you to pull things off independently.

No, that’s not how we want F1 to work, but you have to admit it’s awfully boring to watch Hamilton and Mercedes win every. Single. Race.

They’re already drafting the CEMTRAIL bill (Commercial aEroplane Mind-conTRol Initiation Legislation).

This is why working on old bikes with a limited budget is a PITA. Something is always broken and nine times out of ten nobody makes that part anymore. It’s even worse when you have a ‘top of the line’ bike; Shimano uses their high-end groupsets to test new tech and sometimes that new tech doesn’t stick, which means it…

From Google Earth, it looks like your neighbor to the North has at least a dozen cars, including three seemingly inoperable that are hidden behind a fence. Is that the neighbor that ratted you out? You know, technically a fence isn’t a ‘fully enclosed space...’ 

Once Raph admits his Schwinn obsession is on par with David’s Jeep one, the world will be a much happier place. 

Yeah if you’ve already got it that’s half the battle! My parents moved when I was ~13, so unfortunately we cleaned out all our old ‘90's bikes. I keep telling my wife I’m building a new collection for our kids.

Not to be Safety Stan here, but concrete dust is extremely dangerous to inhale - if you can’t introduce water to keep the dust down, you should always wear a respirator (NOT a dust mask) when working with concrete dust and make sure your area is well ventilated. The silica in concrete, if inhaled, causes scarring of…

I don’t understand this obsession with buying ancient mountain bikes and struggling to fix them up so you can DD them. In 2014 I bought a Scott Scale 970 hard tail 29er; it was on sale at REI and I paid $878. Sure, it’s 3x what Raph ended up paying, but I won’t have to replace a single component for at least a decade.…

The entire argument and the basis of our disagreement hinges on when you define an unborn fetus as a ‘baby.’ You would say at conception, right? I would argue no earlier than viability (24ish weeks). Sure, an early term abortion (say 10 weeks) is removing the opportunity for life, but that life has yet to come into…

Furthermore, who gives a shit if he DID push you. George Zimmerman MURDERED Trayvon Martin under the guise of trespassing and self-defense. 

So the entire basis of your argument revolves around the claim that because a c-section isn’t the way nature intended humans to give birth, if we call anything born via a c-section a baby then by default everything that is removed from a womb should also be called a baby? 

I’m not telling you what to think, if you want to be anti-choice that’s your prerogative. By definition a ‘baby’ isn’t a ‘baby’ until it’s born. Prior to that it’s a fetus.
