Anyone seen Art Shirk post lately? Is he buried somewhere on his property?

Do we need a welfare visit from the po-po?

Hard to believe Thurber hasn't made an appearance in this thread yet. **


** Perhaps he has. I have to admit I haven't scrutinized the entire thing.

C-dale had a winning crazy french guy Cedric Gracia using a lefty max to race dual slalom

the year I rode it at interbike the lefty was great it worked well, I also rode the first Reign and whatever that fork was it sucked after rounds of press gatehrings, not working well leaking all over the front end,


Some people just could not get over the missing fork leg, i've seen guys just freak out, I would point out to people whatever you drove here in has a macpherson strut front suspension which is pretty much what a lefty is

I was working in the shop when Gracia was riding for them. Got to live the Cannondale glory days.

I had a Raven with a Lefty (probably at the same time this guy was saying it was unrideable) and the one leg thing didn’t bother me at all. It was so, so much structurally stiffer than anything comparable at the time.

Air not staying in the air spring did bother me though.

Interesting discussion about dishwashers. My wife very much wants our new one to have the third rack on top for knives and miscellaneous utensils. Is it a trap?.

Once you have the third rack it sucks to load a basket.

The only problem is my wife refuses to sort the silverware going in. If you do that it’s grab and go to put it in the drawers.
Covered the issue twenty pages ago.

I'm not jewish but i use Kosher salt, the box sez for gourmet cooking but safeway sold it to me anyhow, its less salty, good for brining fish

Jewish salt is less salty?

WTF

See you at the Palestine protest this weekend.

I only seen some vids but he seemed like a rather obtuse/ crazy french guy who could win

yes the Lefty, very strong, just not sure about the no-hands stability while possibly drunk

Ive said it before, but i will again. I simply do not understand what goes through my wifes brain when she put pots and cups into the drying rack face up. I've asked her to explain in a genuine effort to understand her logic , but she just tells me to shut up. When i cleaned baby bottles i would take the scalding hot bottles out of the microwave steam bath and face them up so that the hot steam would escape and dry out instead of getting trapped in the bottles... but thats not whats going on here- she does this with cold/lukewarm water and the cups/pots/bowls just endup with puddled water in them.



Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone seen this anti-science behavior in another person?

Lol. So I've had a version of this argument with my wife. She contends that only a certain amount of the gross moisture will run out when it is upside down. Then it must be turned over for the residual fine moisture that sticks to the walls of the vessel, instead of running off, to evaporate. She's non scientific but contends that it's because of surface tension. I've learned to just shut up and turn them open side up, usually on the shelf, once the outside is dry.

shut up

and dude I mean that in the nicest way

Apparently kosher salt is not iodized, i think its the stuff you see celebrity chefs throwing around on TV, ever thing you wana know about salt ^^ the beer truck driver at the craft brew, also a fish guide also a good chef told me to use kosher salt for fish brining so I do

In spite of the great jewish hoax perpetrated by wiki there is only like 15 jewish people in town

My wife grew up with animals (dogs and cats) yet has no idea how animal behavior works.

Every morning as my wife makes her cereal the 2 cats go ballistic, yawling, running around, following her every move, stalking, climbing on her, all while she screams at them, stomps her feet, and curses their existence.

What does she do after all this chaos and drama?

She puts the cereal bowl on the floor and lets the cats drink the milk.

Every. Fucking. Morning.

No words.

Yes.
I kinda started a thread about it.

Ms B is from the US. Her French citizenship would have been revoked at the mere mention of using unsalted butter!


As a chemist I disagree with this (salt doesn't really dissolve in butter, it just disperses, not enough water in that mass of fat to really solubilize it).
I suggest you tell her a French chemist said she's doing it all wrong. Make sure to find adequate cover for the aftermath!

Ms Boissal just bought 3 baby car seats. Identical super fancy ones, they were on sale for the price of only 1 kidney, she had to get them. When I had the audacity to ask why we needed 3 she got annoyed. One for her car, one for my car, and one for her parents', obviously. I pointed out that we could probably move the seat between our cars and got a derisive snort back. Don't I know that these things are too heavy to swap easily, almost as bad as a bike rack? OK then, I really don't mind taking my bike rack on and off, which I don't do much anymore cause she already used the argument to get her own (more expensive and less functional) bike rack. I then suggested we try to have a dedicated baby car instead of each having our own vehicle and clinging to it. That wouldn't work either, her car is nicer than mine and there's no way she wants to drive my POS (her words, it's a 2016 Forester, in great condition) more than a couple times a year. She did mention that this policy would likely be lifted once I get a new car, especially if it's an EV. Then she'll be totally fine with swapping cars, especially if we swap once and she gets to keep the new one forever.

Since I'm a glutton for punishment I kept pushing to the logical conclusion: she wants a 2nd kid, if the car seats are on sale why didn't she just buy 6 of them and be done with it? Dark clouds gathered on the horizon. I retreated to my office and she stormed off with the dog and a friend who no doubt is going to get an earful about how much of a cheap idiot I am.

Have you successfully installed even 1 car seat properly and safely in any vehicle yet?



It took his genius brother to do it (yes it is Hollywood, but probably a bunch of truth to it also.)

[old goat]

That's why I like watching Antiques Roadshow.

This is some bush league first time parent shit.

One seat, 3 bases.

Bonus: The entire back seat isn't rendered useless when the midget isn't in the car.

Bonus, Bonus: PCMC will give it a once over if you really need to quell her anxiety.

I’ll repeat whoever said it above— there will be times when you drop your kid off at daycare or preschool— go to work— and then somebody else picks them up. Multiple car seats are needed.

The car seats that double as strollers are dope

As the resident marriage expert, I point you to butter:



I don't care if you have your PhD in gastroBS, salt and butter do molecularly combine.

And you salt the product, not the butter which you have no control over:



I haven't bought or touched salted butter for decades outside of some fill you up basket at a restaurant.

Butter and salt serve 2 completely different purposes in cooking. But you probably use Pert all-in-one shampoo and conditioner, don't you?

As for kids seats, just buy a cheap Brat and get it over with. You won't even hear them back there.

[TahoeJ]

Salted butter is only for dinner rolls and grilled cheese sandos, that’s about it.

Everyone’s situation is different but generally speaking I don’t know how anyone could disagree with this. At one point I had three kids six and under and collectively between me, my wife and grandparents there were a shit ton of car seats and boosters.

[Mustonen]

I’ll put a plug in for the higher end car seats too. Safety might be a wash, though the manufacturer will claim different, but they’re noticeably more comfortable and it’s hard to put a price on a kid who sleeps more and fusses less in their seat.

Um.... No, get the good seats.

Pretty sure you're the absolute last person anyone should take parenting advice from.

Have you ever put your twins in the back of a brat?

I think not. It's a bonding experience.

[XXX-er]

I believe those ^^ seats in the back of a BRAT were about getting around the chicken tax

I worked with a guy who scratched facked up around the door on his Audi transfering the car seat in and out so it would have been net cheaper for buddy to have had 2 seats
