When I initially saw the trailer I thought this was going to be a movie adaptation of Firewatch.

In different times I’m totally okay with that, but this particular strain of hardcore seems to stray too much into both-sides/whataboutism and “Trump was right about some stuff...” and I just can’t with that. I guess it makes sense though, since the older hardcore guys are legit Boomers and that’s exactly what I…

I always associated NYC hardcore, particularly the older guys, with a sort of weirdo, nihilistic libertarianism and this only cements that association for me.

I liked him in GotG1 and I liked him in Parks and Rec, but after GotG2 and IW, I just don’t feel the need to ever watch Chris Pratt in anything ever again.

I will give it the benefit of the doubt that it looks better in person, but based strictly on photos that’s gonna be a no from me dawg. Admittedly, I’m a Multistrada owner and love it, so some may say my tastes are questionable, but aesthetically my favorite ADV bike is easily the Tiger 1200.

Makes me drool until I look at the nose...there’s just something about the cyclops headlight that turns me off. Like, Shockwave is a great Transformers villain, but the center-eye situation weirded me out even as a kid.

Agree the e-bike subsidy should essentially have no strings attached. If they want people to give up cars, which is a worthwhile goal, why not just make that a totally separate program? Then people who maybe don’t want an e-bike, or who maybe want an electric scooter or something instead, still have an incentive to…

I really enjoyed Annihilation, but it took a lot of work and concentration to get through. Like, so much I just didn’t have it in me to continue the series.

OT for Egyptian workers for a week and seemingly superficial repairs to the dirt walls of the canal (the damage doesn’t seem to have affected operations) hardly amount to $900 million. A few million at best.

Big part of the reason I went with a CX-5.

Nothing about the fender-mounted mirrors?!

Rads are great until you have a flat on the rear tire, or have to replace the freewheel (maybe they’ve finally moved to cassettes). A 15 pound wheel on a 75 pound bike that is trapped behind the bags and running boards and fenders is an absolute nightmare to work on (I’ve owned a Radwagon and RadCity, putting about 3k…

Seems like a moot point. I assume NTSB would seize any and all fallen debris from an in-flight incident as evidence in a potential investigation.

Antonov, the manufacturer and operator (through subsidiaries, IIRC), is a Ukrainian company. The plane was built by the Soviet Union in Kiev/Kyiv, but it was never “Russian,” as Antonov’s operations have been based in Ukraine for most of the company’s history.

2013 you say?

Was shortening the sidestand a cost-saving measure?
