that is all. Good bye

You know what? FUCK YOU micro USB. I use electronic devices every single day, all day long. I charge each device, then all day long. I'm in and out of the car and I bet that each device gets plugged in/out at least 50 times a day. I need a charge port that is more durable. It's too bad that everything has to be so small and delicate now. How is wireless charging coming? Don't even get me started on the fact that they STILL make USB ports that are under 3A each. Fucking ridiculous.
I took this photo because I thought it was funny. Then I decided to look it up, and I guess this is a normal practice for Masonic Lodges. I'll post the picture anyway.

I couldn't agree more. Micro USB is/was the worst fustercluck ever. We've lost a few devices to that frail trash. The simple fact that I have to look at the damn things to get them plugged in right without breaking something is infuriating. It's rare they have a tactile surface to tell which way is up, and there's no standard "up" on all the damn devices.Quote:

I'll have to look up USB-C, is that what the iPhones have? I've seen that and it seems smart. Hell, a simple barrel charger seems pretty durable and foolproof to me. The fact that the port is directional (both ends even!) is pretty stupid.
I like choices, but what the heck?

Pop quiz! Where is the safest place to stand when inspecting this roof.

I took these pictures for a reason, but I don't remember what it was. Must have been super important. Most likely because it looks very pointy and I have a simple mind.

Apple uses the Lightning port. 10x better than usb micro-b although it is easy to snap a cable head. However, they were one of the first to roll out usb-c in their new macbook pro (I think).Quote:

Intel has a Thunderbolt chipset that does amazing things (same cable, more throughput). There's some cool dock/boxes to consolidate all the video/data connections. Cable/port compatibility is a little crazy in the thunderbolt/displayport video realm, but for simple power and data, usb-c is a great improvement.

I hope you told the clerk how disappointed you were that they didn't have 89.5. And then told them you needed EXACTLY 6.5 gallons of 89 and EXACTLY 6.5 gallons of 90Quote:

The Speed Demon: Ridley Noah with Roval Rapide CLX60s and SRAM Force 22 groupset, Ciamillo Micro-GSL titanium brakes, Force Crankset (with Stages PM), S-works saddle and Oval Concepts bar. It's fun to keep up with traffic (at freeway speeds).
Next to be built up is the Aluminum Hate Machine: No frame yet, Mercury C1 wheels, SRAM Rival take-off groupset, rando finishing kit. This is a bike that's meant for bombing down single track, fire roads, gravel, anything really. If I show up on this, you know what's about to happen (and it ain't Netflix-n-chill).
If anyone here knows about bikes, you know all about what I just said. Coming back to Colorado is going to be awesome!
Haha, can I even request that?Quote:

Boom. four days later I had the Ridley Helium. Before I paid for it, I called Ridley (in Belgium, because I do that) and verified that it was actually a team frame. THEN I paid for it. I purposely haven't put a name sticker on that side of the bike bc it still has the marks from where the pro rider's name sticker was on there.
Facebook gun commandos saying a Taurus PT1911 is preferred by Operators AND a retired armorer for SEAL Team 6 over Springfield Armory and semi/custom 1911's. He said he also knows Operators. Guy lives in Australia.....
I stick to places where I don't bother drivers.Quote:

3) If I notice a driver serving to purposely impact a cyclist, I will lose my shit and track them down.
4) overall: Don't be a dick. That goes for both cyclists and motorists.
So is it a frame used by some racing team?Quote:

I don't ride a lot, and usually not even for fun. I picked up a bike to run errands close to my house. Have you ever ridden to the auto parts store and back with a car battery in a back pack? I really need to get some kind of seat rack.
That windshield didn't last long.Quote:

Old picture of old windshield. I think I never posted because I was embarrassed of the cracks.
Not hating on the Masons, just didn't know. I doesn't a few minutes going down the Mason rabbit hole online, but not that long.
No 85?Quote:
