  1. The whole point of the “halo” models is to make the less expensive - but still too expensive - ones seem like a bargain. This is the same whether it’s bikes or cars or whatever.
  2. Two grey tabbies One tuxedo One Calico so, no.
  3. There was a period where every bike maker thought the Stealth Bomber look was “it”. I was over that look by about Day 2. If I want a bike painted with spray-in bed liner, I’ll do it myself. My Roubaix is boring gloss black…sort of. Get it out in the sun and there’s a ton of sparkles in it. SO said “Ooh, I like the flake in that paint.” I said “What about the flake on the bike?” “Not so much”.
  4. I keep thinking about the Bambu printers, since I may want access to one, after I retire. But having had nothing but failed prints and massive headaches lately has made me reconsider. The public library has a makerspace with a Prusa. Maybe I’ll just use that.
  5. As someone who just spent pretty much the last two days fighting with a 3D printer, it pains me to read this…
  6. If I had known my new dental hygienist was that cute, I’d have had peanut butter and popcorn for lunch.
  7. It was fairly resistible, but I admit I flinched on the add to cart button once or twice.
  8. Heh. You're the third person to ask that today - my SO being the first: "Why the hell are you bringing food coloring to work???" The 3D Printer is throwing an error, which they tell me is a water pump issue, so I brought in some food coloring to test that out. (The cooling lines are transparent). The pump is pushing water up to the head and back, but there are a couple of other lines where I see nothing - but fraulein O they're vacuum.
  9. I usually go for a walk as well, unless I've been running like a madman all morning - which was the case today. Then it's good to just actually sit down.
  10. Yeah, I looked at the current Roubaix Expert and the "markdown" price was what I paid for mine a few years ago and it was pretty much the same spec. Truth be told, I really have no use for a full-on MTB. There are few trails around here and they're all 45 minutes or so away. Driving my truck to ride my bike got old a long time ago. The few times I'd go, I can just use my fatbike.
  11. So, methamphetamine, but without the bad teeth.
  12. Helluva markdown and they have them in my size, but....
  13. Oooh, don't even get me started on that. I got in the elevator at work the other day and there was a guy in there I recognize as a Maintenance-type person. "Where you goin'? "I dunno....hell in a handbasket probably" "Oh No! I'm not going to hell! I've got the Lord Jesus Christ in my heart...mumblemumblemumble" I didn't say it, but I thought it - "Stop the elevator, I'll climb the cable the rest of the way..." Good way to end a conversation, though. Religious is one thing, but that dude is just wrapped too tight.
  14. Around here, the solution is for @Randomguy to keep his garbage down there. (Half the traffic on the Thruway is trash trucks from NYC.
  15. In addition to being the only one who is not futzing around with a phone, I appear to be the only one around here who knows how to use an on/off ramp.
  16. So.....methamphetamine?
  17. If he wants to hang it from the pipes at home, I'm ok with that.
  18. Logos are perfect for illiterate people. This gives you an idea of the target market.
  19. He shouldn't have been allowed to, but the previous supervisor turned a blind eye to all his festooning. Are you kidding? I don't think all six of my bikes put together weigh half of what that thing does! That's the only thing he hung from the pipes - most of the rest of it was crap on the walls.
