All good boss. If you don’t mind, what bike are you riding?
Sorry I didnt mean to come off as abrasive towards you. If someone is giving you shit about the cost of you’re bike then tell them to fuck off. I’ve been cycling and competing for 7 years now, and cycling culture is about the ride, not the bike the rider is on. Some bikes cost $15k, others $1k, and all these expensive components can help you get faster, but at the end of the day, what really makes you faster isn’t the bike, it’s the rider.
As someone that has a $11k bike I can clarify some things.
I have a Wilier Granturismo SLR. About ~90% of the components are carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber, especially high end carbon fiber isn’t cheap. Besides the bike; my wheels, pedals, parts of the cranks, handlebars, saddle, saddle post, and probably some other things are carbon fiber.
I always hear people talk about getting carbon fiber components for cheaper because you have a shit tin of Chinese companies come in and steal these bike companies IP and make shit frames. Look at Chinorellos, shit ton of Chinese companies steal frame designs and re-make them with shit metal and the bike falls apart after a year.
Another thing…why does any give a fuck how much my bike costs? My dad is an audiophile guy and my bike costs as much as 1 (not a pair) of his speakers, and he has a mid-range system. Cycling is something that I love, I ride almost everyday and will spend hours and hours on the bike. I’d gladly pay less than $11k on my next bike but when you get into the higher end market you’re going to pay more, that’s true across almost ALL sports or hobby activities
He doesn’t pay them though, she was just switching her story back. Here she is criticizing him over not paying https://www.threads.net/@masterbeefresolver/post/DH4WVh1h7Q7
So, you want to bring a child into this world with that man and not get paid? Hard pass on me bro
He doesn’t pay them anything, straight from the horses mouth https://www.threads.net/@masterbeefresolver/post/DH4WVh1h7Q7
Yea this is a bully technique. Scare people (colleges) to conform to your laws or else (“withhold funding”). That’ll work on colleges that are relying heavily on government funded assistance, but when mommy and daddy make over $20 million per year…yea they don’t give a shit. They pay to push people through as qualified, it’s why Donny was elected in the first place 😆
HC does work nicely and I’d 100% go by that. I’m learning Spanish and if my name was Connor I’d ask for MC - Mejor Connor = Better Connor.
I’d hop onto every Zoom call and open with “Mic Check 1, 2, 1, 2”
I had my dog cremated and the vet had an option to pay $100 more, and someone from the local wood working high school team designed and builds the cremation box. I did that and now she’s in a beautiful cremation box that’s well made and local. I think it’s a good way to honor my dog, I miss her everyday
If you look at US bonds, they paint another picture. Other countries are off loading their US assets (bonds)…..so the dollar, if this continues, will be worth as much as a DJT crypto coin
That’s why they care. China sells the US a lot of things and cutting off your biggest consumer isn’t good for your economy. China understands this and is now starting to dump their US debt via bonds so they’re not tied to US based securities. China will find another trading partner because Trumps a fucking moron and the other countries he’s isolating need someone to fill their trading gap.
As firm as a used sofa bed maybe
Ah, so just kinda slappin claws.
Im interested in the claw communication! How does that work?
Also, the pee stuff is hilarious
I think that person is long gone tbh. Maybe you could have that type of conversation with him in the 80’s and 90’s but not today. Money and power consume his thoughts so any topic you bring up he’ll revert to money and power.
Yea I can’t say I’m surprised but at the same time they skewed more right wing from this last election, so the economic policies being implemented by Trump, and the ramifications it’ll have on their socio-economic status, is something they voted for. Kind of hard to feel bad for a generation that’s shootings themselves in the foot.
Food service people are not MAGA for the most part. The owner of the restaurant is probably MAGA and all the servers probably hate him.
Also, American culture, especially in the South is to be kind to people at face value
Because this is political theater but there’s also a lot of nuances that go into this type of thing. Should they have done something like this in the past, 100%…but this is also a result of the collective California population being so fed up with insurance companies that it forces politicians to do something. He’s a martyr no doubt but the health care situation continues to get worse so pushing something so “liberal” wasn’t going to happen previously.
I shit you not I got that object object response with a 200 status.
I get what you’re saying but yes, I think that’s what we want. When a company pays its employees a good salary the employee will stay for a couple of years. When a company pays its employees a great salary ($50-80k+ more than the avg in that area) it encourages employees to stay and work for that same company. You’re getting paid well, you have healthcare, if the company has good benefits(stock, pensions, long term investments), why leave?
Employees will be happier, product quality will increase, and the company is supplying the community in that area with more money and local taxes. We saw that in the 40’s, 50’s and then yea kinda down hill from there.
Yes this! My anxiety and internal thoughts were driving me crazy during COVID and that eventually slipped into depression. My wife suggest we try biking to get out and get some exercise and it really helped re-align my thoughts, focus on something other than work, and helped me to set goals/tasks for my next ride.
Exercise is very beneficial imo so I’ve been recommending it to anyone that tells me they also suffer from ADHD
