It's really so engrained in the culture it would have to be replaced by end-of-the-summer-cookout-day.

Everytime an American on the left does this, they just set back their own cause. It's enough to make you believe a conspiracy theory of some powers on the right actively encouraging it.

Sometimes it does. No advice can ever be one size fits all.

That's at least true for American English. I'm unclear if it holds true in British, Australian, etc. Or if it works in other languages that use these words.

Upgrading the drivetrain can make sense. Perhaps the brakes. Shocks if you are mountain biking. But no one needs a carbon fiber frame unless they are competing.

I knew it! Aliens!

I've got a few stainless ones and they are 15, some probably 20, years old and still fine. Couple dents maybe, some labeling scratched but perfectly functional.

In my opinion they aren't even gains. Making the bike more efficient just makes it less exercise efficient. You have to bike longer to get the same workout.

I made it to 39 without ever learning to drive a manual. At that time though my girlfriend had a manual. And one night she was too drunk to drive. So I managed to make it work well enough to drive us maybe a mile through luckily mostly empty nighttime streets home.

I later learned to drive her car for real.

Fuck Reddit, I'm leaving and taking the poop knife with me! And anything else that's not nailed down!

Time's always a problem, but I'm happy it's on the radar!

Would it be possible to do the thing in the Play store that some apps do where we could opt into the "beta program" and get nightly builds? (If having us test it would be helpful...)
