Oh, please... he should just buy some birdseed and start tossing it at the neighbor's house instead.

wiredscout17 said:My working theory is that his future wife stepped in and micromanaged the entire selection process, essentially hand-picking the best man. I’ve certainly noticed lately just how much influence she exerts over his decisions.

And

Look, buddy, there isn't much you can do at this point. Just sit back and watch; women have a knack for making a mess of things. If you had bothered to ask for advice before tying the knot, maybe things would be different, but now? You're past the point of no return, and honestly, this is just the opening act. Hang in there—you'll see plenty more of this...
Seriously, it's pathetic; women have turned you guys into complete pushovers...

Don't be ridiculous; there is a massive spectrum when it comes to this. One person eats some beans and it’s a constant, rapid-fire barrage, while someone else can manage it without being completely unbearable...
The one up on Mount Rainier is lethal—you can hear it all the way down in San Francisco, and honestly, you can probably feel it too...

Does anyone actually have the results for 2012? 🤷

I made it through Mount Rainier, and I have to give the organizer props—almost. My one grievance? That bean chili is becoming a predictable disaster. I’m still bloated from it. Honestly, if they’d served it for breakfast, it might have been fine, but as a main course... well, let's just say it didn't sit right.

Grace White66 said:Well...

On the Nestlé forum, specifically under the Stand by Me sub-forum, there's a thread titled: "(Non)Alcoholic Drinks - Don't expect Mladen Grdović at your table
. Isn't that just a blatant, head-on insult aimed directly at a guy who clearly struggles with alcohol?

🤷

Please, if someone actually suggested that Grdović doesn't drink—or wouldn't even touch a glass—he'd take that as a massive insult. Meanwhile, the fact that the man drives while wasted and swerves all over the road is apparently just his baseline state of being...

rustypuma13 said:WTF

I neglected to mention:
this is my actual routine.
-phone rings: kill the alarm
-put on glasses
-get dressed (throwing on a robe just so I don't ruin my clothes in the morning)
-splash some lukewarm water on my face
grab some fruit, toss it in the blender, chill it, and drink it
brush teeth and head to campus

Skip the face washing, the fruit, and the blender. You won't even have to brush your teeth. You'll make it to class right on time, guaranteed...

Megan Flores42 said:Get a life, loser.

Why such an immediate defensive reaction? Granted, I may have been a bit colorful with my wording, but there is a point to be made here.
Look, bicycle saddles have existed for decades. Sure, some designs cause issues, but a global network of experts is constantly working to iron those kinks out
and refine the saddle to near perfection...
Just look at the sheer volume of production coming out of China. There are enough people there to populate a small nation, and they seem to spend all their time either riding bikes or finding other ways to stay busy...
The bottom line is this: the saddle shouldn't be the issue. The problem likely lies with you—specifically, if I may be blunt, your anatomy. It sounds like you might need to take things to a specialist for some much-needed realignment.

Megan Flores42 said:I honestly can't believe this... if that doesn't work, what on earth actually helps?
, because I certainly have no intention of enduring burning sensations or physical pain just to use some ridiculous gym machine.

Look, if it's too large, just tuck it upward and secure it to your navel with some Scotch tape...

Hannah Grant42 said:Does he actually have the legal standing to sue me???

Can someone please advise on my next steps???
THANKS!
p.s. It’s not blasting at 50% volume all day; it’s mostly moderate. I only hit that 50% mark during the daytime (in case anyone missed 😁)

Yes, he can absolutely sue you.

Either move out to the middle of nowhere or head back to the mountains...

brighteagle26 said:Every single morning, the buses and light rails are packed with elderly women riding around for no apparent reason. They’ll trek all the way to some distant farmer's market just to pick up two carrots when there’s a perfectly good grocery store right around the corner.

They're just looking for some warmth, honestly. Someone probably swindled them out of their Social Security, and now they're just trying to thaw out their old bones on public transit.

Patrick King7 said:...and the only person who actually knew what they were doing was the instructor,

. The first few classes are always a comedy of errors while everyone tries to figure out the choreography. It’s usually just a sea of people moving left while I’m accidentally heading right. 😍

You were drifting to the right simply because that's where the instructor was standing...

Swap out the batteries in the remote and then try selecting the heat setting again.
The filters aren't the issue here.
If it's still cooling, you definitely have gas.

It hasn't switched the valve over to the correct operating mode yet; just re-select heating and give it a moment to kick in...

cosmicfox48 said:, where everyone already looks perfectly conditioned and fit, and I just have this constant, nagging feeling that everyone is going to stare at me. ...(

No actual athlete—anyone who has actually put in the blood, sweat, and tears—is going to sit there judging you; they’ll actually have some perspective and empathy.
The reality is that every single one of them had to navigate that awkward beginner phase at some point..
Instead of spiraling into negativity, why not consider the alternative? There is a very good chance one of the more experienced regulars will approach you with some genuine, helpful advice and encouragement to help you reach your goals...
Everything starts with that first step. Just show up. Even if it feels uncomfortable at first, that feeling is temporary; eventually, you'll find your rhythm and relax...
Get off the couch, get out of the recliner, and start living a life with an elevated heart rate. Honestly, your only real regret will be that you didn't start this journey much sooner...

Why don't you just open a shop selling nothing but kale? Maybe then you might actually catch a break...

Brian Edwards6 said:In this particular scenario, the actual dollar amount is irrelevant.👍

Oh, please. What a brilliant bit of logic you've cooked up here. If someone steals my bike, the police tell me, "It’s worth less than a thousand bucks, so go file a private lawsuit," yet the moment a guy copies a book to share knowledge, he's immediately branded a criminal. Honestly, you'd all be much better off hunting down my missing bicycle and leaving the man alone...

Gregory Cooper5 said:...and there I was, being naive enough to let slip that it really is just a counterfeit book... if I hadn't said that, they probably would have gone through much more trouble to dig up the truth anyway....

Look, why don't you just come out and admit you're selling high-quality knockoffs? Just keep the price under a thousand bucks. In this country, once you stay under that threshold, you can practically get away with anything without the police even blinking. Even someone like Brian Edwards6 couldn't touch you at those prices—it’s just not worth the hassle over pocket change...

swiftgull12 said:Off-topic: Why on earth can't I edit my own posts? Am I going blind, or did the option just vanish into thin air?

The window for editing a post is limited to two hours after it's published; once that time passes, you're stuck with whatever you wrote.

Ryan Taylor7 said:Slatky, I can tell you’re quite the bike expert. What’s the absolute thinnest tire he could fit on those rims? Are they even suitable for racing? Also, what’s your take on this specific tire here: From what I can gather, it seems like the whole setup includes the tubeless valve...

Those tires require specialized rims; you won't be able to mount them on his current wheels.
