Oh, and all this large scale handwringing about declining birthrate or whatever, :gtfo: I don't know anyone not reproducing these days other than myself. :fakenews:

Money hasn't made sense in a while, which is why I'm entering a spend it while I can approach. Helps that I'm not reproducing, this place is like a birthing den/daycare now. Good luck bros, hope all the best health and whatnot.

Dem bicicletas dos, doe.

I'm curious what's going to happen with the new retail bike market. Bikes have ALWAYS depreciated like rocks, it's nothing new. The bike I'm buying is a 2022 model with a $4,500 MSRP for $3k. It has probably been sitting in a warehouse for 2 years now as part of a glut of COVID knee-jerk ordering t...

Office is in Montgomery county, and a number of dudes I work with also mountain bike. Apparently there's some epic trails not far from the office that I'd love to check out. I'm going to be in DC next week through the 23rd if you happen to be in the area, but I won't have a bike :doe: Full carbon b...

Yep, it started as payload capacity but stuck as a model designation. It still matters in terms federal truck vehicle class and GVWR (total vehicle weight when fully loaded). 1500's are "light duty" and below 10k lbs. 2500 is usually 6k+ lbs and 3500 is usually 10k+ (HD). 1500 (LD) and 25/...

Should’ve had a DFD gang bang one after another. Then no one would know who fathered and we could all just not pay child support but secretly high five over every Peloton work out.

I can afford one and I don't want one. There's just something about it that leaves me flat. The awkward styling, auto only, and the fact it just doesn't sound that great unless Z06? Speaking of sound, Walmart had OBX header sets for very cheap so I got a catted set. https://i.postimg.cc/Z9xpKk6V/P-...

Oh dang! I was just using that as an example of how they really haven't upgraded much in terms of capability. That used to be the Toyota way. Same engine from 2004>2024 still around in the 4runner.
