>>1992213If you build homes for the average BART hobo, they will just tear out the pipes and wiring and sell them so they can keep getting high on the street. For some people the only way to help them is through force, and if that doesn't work the best solution is a final one.
>>1992276Oh and fentanyl dealers plus the bankers who launder their money should be flayed alive and left on screaming display on Market St, that would also help resolve the problem.
>>1992233Exactly. Can't believe people still vote for these dipshits thinking that they'll solve the housing problem.
Show me the most degenerate shit you've ever seen
>>1991823That's most definitely an unreliable, finnicky two-stroke. These sorts of wrench jobs are all sorts of things, but the one thing they aren't are hassle-free and headache-free mobility options. Dropping in a hub motor, bolting a battery to your bottle mount and zip-tying a few extra wires to your frame is literally ten times easier and ten times more reliable.

What are my options for replacing pic related? The barrel thread snapped and I don't care to fix it. It's 160mm rotor, I don't really care about stopping power, I regularly ride caliper/v-brake/hydraulic brakes and it makes no difference to me.So cheap options are preferred. Are v-brake adapters any good?
>>1992272I used to do it all the time when I worked downtown. alu road bike on mavic with 23s. the hard part was hopping up. gotta get a lot of speed and road bikes don't want to hop as high as mtb. but if you have to speed and ups it'll go just above curb height. of course, Matryn Ashton could hop over a fuckin chair, although he would lower his seat.

>>1986534I dunno how it works, but doesn't this seem like a tiny amount of chemical to fight a fuck huge forest fire? Like using a spraybottle vs a campfire.
>>1989503I imagine if you were to take that spray bottle and use it on a piece of cloth before tossing it on the campfire it could have the potential to change the way the cloth is affected by that fire? are they really dumping it on the actual flames, or on the stuff that's about to get eaten by the flames?
>>1981642But why
>>1989503it's primarily used to create boundaries that don't burn to contain the fire, using it for direct fire fighting is a little wasteful, it's an agent better utilized strategically than tactically

What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.

>>1992029>but they can't manage more trains per day because ______?they don't have the moneythe answer to pretty much every question about amtrak is "they are chronically underfunded"
>>1992023Yesterday I called amtrak customer service to change my ticket because the website kept crashing. The hold music was RnB and a sassy black lady picked up. Truly an american institution.
>>1992160The Civil Rights Act / EEOC creates an effect I call the Shaneequa Event Horizon, where because sassy black women are impossible to "out diversity" (because they vote 96% for Democrats) any federal agency will eventually fill up with them until the agency fails at its core responsibilities and they get outsourced. If this happened to Amtrak and passenger rail got deregulated we'd see a 10x in available trains.

Ebikes should require registration and an active insurance policy. $15 million in liability insurance per bike, minimum, to cover the average damage they do every time they explode. That doesn't even cover the loss of life but it's a start. Possession of an unregistered ebike or unregistered parts such as batteries should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in prison and being banned from touching another ebike ever again. Second offense is life in prison, you can't prove me wrong.>but muh cost of deliveriesMuh cost of rebuilding the entire block after it was leveled and rebuilding the lives destroyed, cash me outside howbou dah?
I've come round on ebikes and battery electric vehicles in general OP, I agree now. Not only are the batteries dangerous and less energy efficient than gasoline/other ICEs, they let people think that they can have personal transportation and still help reverse/lessen climate change, when the only real change will come with a heavy reduction in personal vehicles and greater focus on public transit which can be powered by energy transmission from static generated electricity (ie. third rail or overhead wires fed from nuclear and renewables).The government should start clamping down on electric AND traditional ICE vehicles. Stop subsidizing fuel suppliers and auto manufacturers (ICE or internal), heavy penalties for companies found to be using lithium sourced from human rights violating countries (and in cases on countries relying on forced or underage labour, military intervention if necessary).
>>1989353because everyone in a position to do something realizes that the whole delivery app gravy train is a major force in gentrifying the cities, if you ban the ebikes you destroy the profitability of these apps, which eliminates the well paid tech jobs, which suppresses demand for the cool gut renovated loft apartments in old warehouses, which is terrible for property values, and the whole house of cards falls downbasically it's better to deal with some fires (which pretty much have their impact limited to brown people anyway). it costs less, it keeps the firefighters busy doing something related to their jobs instead of getting into brawls at irish pubs and using their union connections to avoid drunk driving arrests, and it might even clear up some precious land to build the next colony 1209

Why are you destroying the environment with your discount bargain bin chinese carbon wheels with no warranty, when you could be saving the environment with the revolutionary new FusionFiber™ that come with a lifetime, no questions asked replacement coverage for the original owner? Sure it costs about 3x as much but think of the moral superiority it gets youThe only problem is it's made in Utah which is full of crazy people, which kinda negates the moral superiority, I'd almost rather send money directly to the CCP at that pointAlso discuss wheels and stuff
>>1989655yeah, it's helpful if they have a wheel on the tip, or at least some low friction material so you're not just dragging steel across the rim. i'd worked in a shop for 16 years and never used the Park dials until recently and they're pretty cool. Definitely a luxury, but it's cool to see it measured rather than just looking at the gap between the rim and the arm.
>>1989655Sure. my unbranded truing stand(which is so old no thru axle wheels fit) just has threaded adjusters for side to side play, and a plate for in/out play.
What do we think of gokiso? I already have a high stiffness shaft but my nuts aren't so spherical anymore
Is there a rule of thumb when buying rims? I'm looking for an inexpensive upgrade to my chink rims (622*17c) for my gravel bike.
>>1991688If it's japanese it should be okay.>>1991967sun ringle stuff is old and works.Dt swiss is nice and expensivevelocity is goodmavic stuff supposedly isn't as good as it used to bechink rims are meta, specifically carbon ones shilled by youtubers.Don't get a super wide rim when you plan on running narrow tires. Don't go low spoke count unless you go tall strong rim or high spoke tension.Used wheels are the best deal if you are going rim brake. Fork disk you can probably find new rims on sale.
