looking for a bar with the absolute worst smelling and worst dressed people possible. I’m thinking a bar that attracts cyclists and Tour de France enthusiast would fit the bill. I really want some sweaty spandex and stupid hats that don’t actually shade any part of your head. The more fake sponsorships, because they aren’t actually arhletes, the better. And if they could refuse to ride in the million dollar dedicated bike lane so they cause traffic and endanger themselves on the way there that would be great.

Calling something a “delicacy” is pretty much a guarantee that it’s actually just gross and some group wants to keep the tradition alive. I love oysters but they are just objectively gross looking and texturally and I totally understand people not eating them.

Holograms are the dumbest sci-fi tech idea ever. They are worthless. Terrible resolution, not technically feasible, worse than every display ever made. I don’t get it? Why is this so prevalent in sci-fi movies? You can literally watch an IMAX movie on your phone but they are still peddling a choppy, floating CRT TV? And don’t get me started on the clear screens in every movie like somehow a submarine captain benefits from looking through a display at the back of the dudes head who he’s yelling at.

How do you know if a cop is actually a law enforcement officer and not a BTS patroller?

I know what gunshots sound like. I grew up in north Boulder and we didn’t have a dedicated bike lane to get to the Whole Foods. Don’t tell me the small popping noises are fireworks, they are gunshots and explosions. Fireworks are illegal and immoral because a single purse dog being scared should count more than thousands of people celebrating the birth of an oppressive patriarchal hell hole. I know for a fact that thousands of people engage in gun violence every night towards the end of June and I will continue to report the source and frequency of it until my doggo knows peace.

Looking to replace my 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure R that was totaled after hitting a deer. My main complaints with the 1190 were high-speed instability, bad wind buffeting at highway speeds (I’m 6’2”), and poor fuel economy, and the fucking speedo reading 11% fast so I have to do math all the time. I liked the power level and overall adventure capability.

I came across three options locally in Colorado. A 2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R with 7,300 miles, a 2022 KTM 890 Adventure with 7,000 miles loaded with a rally kit and tech package, and a 2022 Husqvarna Norden 901 with 7,000 miles

The 890 Adventure doesn’t do it for me. It’s a step down in power from the 1190R and I really hate the tank shape on them just look weird

The 1290 SA R is tempting since I already know the KTM ecosystem. I don’t really care about The small bump in power and am kind of a Luddite when it comes to technology on bikes. But I would also stress about having to re-fix all the shit the left me stranded on the 1190.

The Norden 901 is looking like the strongest fit. better gas mileage, tiny bit lighter, easier DIY service. Ive never ridden one but I know I’d miss the 150hp, but since I can’t go over 110 without death wobble on the 1190, it doesn’t really need it.

id love any input on reliability, wind protection, annoying shit you found out later, or if anybody has had both.

Lately I’ve had a lot of extremely stupid questions that I don’t know where to post them? some of these questions are

“where can I wash a bicycle, like a self serve car wash, but with two wheels”?

”where can somebody watch the biggest sporting event of the week. Somewhere that serves food and drinks and has TVs dedicated to playing sports where you sit at a bar top”?

“where can I repair my computer, I have never googled anything ever”?

please help, I need to ask these questions somewhere but can’t figure out the best place.

Went last night and really enjoyed it. I’ve seen the chef on Reddit before getting input from us about what we like in our burgers and I think there would be something for everyone on the menu. Drinks looked great and the spritz was good, I wasn’t drinking so we only had one.

I had the Ottomatic and loved it. Bacon was super thick and perfect crisp without being burnt, patty was thin and had nice caramelization, bun was good. I would have liked the fried egg to be a little more gooey but I guess it was nice to not be covered in egg yolk. I will say the burger was right on the edge of salty. It wasn't over the line but I have a restaurant tuned palette and I could see a normie getting burned by it.

My partner had the special Smokeshow burger. it looked great, big hunk of short rib, patty, other fixins, my partner loved it.

The fries were the letdown. They didn’t come out piping hot which I would have liked to see with the number of people who were in there, it’s not like it was an empty restaurant. They weren’t super crispy and the ramekin they were served in was half full, once all the actual fries were eaten, with odds and burnt ends. I think if I ordered them again I would try a dipping sauce as I don’t care for ketchup.

Shout out to them for having local hot sauce on the table, and the Durango wagyu beef was great! Also the free ice cream cone at the end of the meal is a fun touch and I think gets a lot of families in there (almost every table had children or a stroller). Ice cream itself wasn’t amazing, lacked creaminess (maybe it was dairy free), and was a little icy, but it’s FREE so I am not complaining, just giving feedback. I liked the whole laid back mid-century vibe and the servers were all lovely and low stress.

Price was $70 all in for two burgers, one fries, one drink, tax and tip. Definitely a little spendy but the quality and thoughtfulness is there, and I felt good about supporting every person I encountered, they really were lovely.

Anybody able to help me out. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek but can’t figure out how to get the 38’ PVC pipe from Home Depot back to my studio apartment? Are other people running a tandem crosstrek setup? Also is 4 stories of pipe enough, or do I need a 50 footer?
