If you're average size or a bit bigger and you don't have to have the latest and greatest check out Craigslist or FBM. You can get awesome bikes for a song because there are so many used bikes on the market. Nothing is moving, make an offer! Closely related is to start doing all of your own...

Bring an empty water bottle. Most big venues now have bottle filling stations. The ones that don't still have water fountains. I will pull an empty water bottle from the trash and rinse/fill it in the bathroom sink before I buy a $9 bottle of water.

Don't forget the two drink minimum! I bet cocktails in the 70's, 80's, 90's didn't cost $18 in todays dollars ($25 in Vegas)

Something to watch on the trainer: (Legally) Blind Guy rides the Great Divide MTB Route solo. He only has peripheral vision so he can see his handlebars and the ground right in front of his bike but not much else. if you click through to YT, this is the last video in a playlist of all of...

Go on eBay and look for old ticket stubs before year 2000. Find a national act that played at an arena or shed (good chance it is still around under a different name). Put the month/year and face value into the CPI Inflation Calculator at bls.gov Marvel at ticket prices in the 70's, 80's and...

You're not the only one that reads these threads.

I don't think it is controversial at all. Check FuckCombustion for the opinions of people that compulsively purchase every vape that comes out (VAS- Vape Acquisition Syndrome). If you are having a social gathering then nothing beats a bag vape because you can easily pass them around and they...

S&B vapes are overpriced junk and the portables are disposable which makes them a terrible value and environmentally questionable. If you want a bag or whip desktop vape the Arizers are a way better deal. For portable and light desktop use the TinyMight 2 is vastly superior to...

If only one female was great and the others meh I would self it and crack some s1s and see if you get any that are as good and don't throw balls. Depending on your situation and how great this bud was, however, your time and space is likely better used cracking a variety of promising gear from...

Where did you read that?

Sex is already set at the moment of fertilization. Half of the pollen grains produce males and the other half produce females. Is low temp causing some females to produce male or male looking preflowers and you're tossing them before finding out they are actually female, maybe. I would bet...

Fairings are allowed, if not deployable as a sail, because there is no rule against them and it aligns with the main rule which is you have to go the whole way using just your feet to propel you. That could change if someone wins on a fully streamlined bike and the other racers complain...

Don't be so sure! It only takes one Magatroid on the jury to hang it. Beyond reasonable doubt is also a much higher bar than preponderance of evidence, so a lot more room for a stealth juror to say they aren't convinced. Also, I really don't think there are many people still willing to vote...

This link I found inside the above one was what I was after, the discussion of how the possible violations of Georgia law don't impact the defendants rights to a fair trial so it won't really help them. https://www.justsecurity.org/91368/why-fani-willis-is-not-disqualified-under-georgia-law/

thanks for the link, very informative

I don't think anyone actually knows if there is any correlation between time to preflower or start flowering and flower finishing time. If you want to breed fast finishers, your best bet is choose parent(s) that you know finish fast and have all the other traits you want.

So, how disappointing is it that Fani Willis appointed a special prosecutor with nearly no prosecution experience who also just happens to be her boyfriend? I didn't see much about this on the previous pages of the thread...

You must be pretty tough if you are seriously considering racing it competitively. Have you done other ultra bikepacking events? TD puts people in the hospital... Chris King even after a successful UCI World carreer and being a pro gravel racer only discovered a week into it that he wasn't...

Lachlan Morton had an ostensibly record setting time in '23 but he brought along a film crew to a solo event and was DQed. He did get full sleep in a hotel every night but his performance probably has more to do with the fact that he's also an elite pro cyclist on a UCI World team. Tactics are...

I want to take a couple months maybe next summer to ride the Great Divide MTB Route. It runs 2700 miles from Banff west of Calgary through the Rockies all the way to the southern border of New Mexico, passing through Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado. Its mostly gravel and dirt roads but...
