I am still teetering but each botched update and full screen ad in W11 is a push towards Linux on my desktop. I made the jump on my laptop and it’s been fine so it feels inevitable at this point.

It’s gotten bad enough my wife is considering the jump, steam deck was her gateway drug.

I’m grateful now that I had mild virality on early Facebook that freaked me out so much I made everything private and now basically never post anything but dogs.

This feels better.

Thanks for encouraging me to get a weird bike. No front dynohub but it was $30!!!

Don’t stop there. Bonnet and hood are close enough I’ll let them slide, but boot instead of trunk is dumb as hell.

Wing just doesn’t make sense to me. Especially since it’s rare for Americans to have more specificity but fender/quarter panel makes way more sense.

A blue Bianchi Avenue stands in grass, it has gum grips, wheels and a brown seat and is against a concrete wall.

There is a local 60/70s Raleigh with the front Dynohub and rear three speed, I’m just scared of them because I’ve never messed with Sturmey-Archer hubs.

Appreciate the encouragement and love your Raleigh, the frame reminds me of an Avenue I put together recently for a friends first bike.

Any recommendations? I want more bike but not sure what.

I’ve got a couple mountain bikes and just picked up a carbon road bike at the bike co-op. Thought about building another fix gear, but no matter what I just keep coming back to my super old Bianchi Advantage.

I’ve basically always had old steel frame road bikes, but the local bike co-op had a donated carbon frame from this millennium and I figured I’d give it a shot.

I don’t understand why you’d pay 3x for 4lbs of weight saved if you’re not racing but it’s a pretty neat bike to add to the stable.

I got back into working on “vintage” bicycles, this time with my wife joining in and we are having a blast fixing these old bikes and hitting the trails and biking around our little town together. Especially because if you can work on bikes folks just give you them for free.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

I just remember the time my best friend and I stayed up playing it and got to space and our parents were convinced it was a different game.

There’s another neat trick you used to be able to do 20 years ago as a US student ambassador and travel without a passport as well but I still brought one because customs is scary.

Sometimes I feel like I’m such a home body and I never travel, and then I see a post like this, count off 24 cities and realize those two things don’t quite align lol

I did this with omelets and they made me get into baking and then it was all down hill from there.

Now I’m looking at making my own noodles and my mom and I mail each other stuff from our gardens. She keeps sending my ghost peppers cause she’s a bully.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

Misread the headline as I’m having English food forced upon me, and if that were the case legal action feels insufficient.
