Well, they’ve been competent in one respect: getting paid.

Funny thing is that I don’t feel like I look like I’m wearing a diaper when I’m in my shorts. I feel like I’m wearing a diaper (or at least the maxiest of maxipads), but that’s a whole other issue.

Yeah, in general avoid planting too close to driveways (yours or your neighbor’s), sidewalks, fences, or any buildings, including the house itself. (Also, stay away from power lines if it’s a tree that can grow tall enough.) Doing so will often find you needing to at best, uproot the tree, or at worst, kill it…

Also, I tried using chamois cream, but I really find it doesn’t make a ton of difference while biking. The pad is much more important.

For those who have never used padded shorts before but want to get into distance rides, a warning: even with the padding, you will still probably experience some soreness and discomfort, especially as you adjust to those longer rides. The pad isn’t some miracle cure that will miraculously make chafing and soreness…

Clips will be the hardest to adjust to, so I’d argue only going that route if you’re really serious. The others, though, are a must for any casual cyclist who does distance rides with at least moderate regularity (e.g. at least once a week in warm weather). As part of that group, I really need to get a pair of gloves,…

I’d honestly argue that if you’re riding for exercise, you really shouldn’t be too worried about your appearance, but I may not be the best source for that advice. (My standard gym shirt is whatever tank top that’s gotten too ratty or stretched out for me to want to wear it as part of my normal wardrobe.)

I don’t really understand this whole concept of a paint shade shortage. Any time I’ve ever bought a paint color, it’s been mixed at the hardware store. To have a shortage, they’d have to have a shortage of the red/blue/yellow tint they use to mix that color, which would in turn affect a lot of other paint shades.

If devices like that REALLY worked, every woman would fucking know about it and use them. 

You know, at least two of these sets of charges literally would not exist if this narcissistic dumb fuck hadn’t felt the need to boost his ego by running for POTUS, a job it also became clear he didn’t actually like (he just liked the status it gave him).

Glad they had the foresight to program in those periodic resets that will fix it in a couple of months.

I was recently commenting to some friends that even had Clinton won the Electoral vote in 2016, there’s a strong chance we’d still be in the darkest timeline right now, just another version of it.

Apparently, his PAC is down over $100m in the past year and a half from all the legal fees. And considering they seem to keep on coming, it may take a lot from his marks supporters to keep him covered.

I hope it lives up to it. When I first read Dracula as a teenager, the Demeter logs scared the ever loving shit out of me (the only part of the book that scared me), so expectations are high here.

Pee Wee’s Playhouse is officially closed. 😢

Gods, the size of the retainer I’d insist on in order to represent him would have to be HUGE.

Great. More reason to hate tRump. He just made me root for a major fucking studio.

Bacon grease is great for all kinds of things. I use it to make the eggs that accompany the bacon. It’s a great rub for a roast chicken or turkey. Roast your Brussels sprouts in it. Use it as the oil to help crisp up oven baked catfish or broiled salmon.

One thing I have found to be really essential: a cutout saddle. I discovered how much of a difference that extra airflow on the undercarriage makes on longer rides the first time I rode a bike without a cutout in the saddle after having a cutout saddle for a long time.

I have a very thin friend who also has had your issues with respect to vanity sizing. She can wear anywhere from the largest girls’ sizes to a women’s 2.
