  1. Immediately get assessed for autism.
  2. Learn to manage and make decisions.
  3. I can now not fuck up with The Girl in a couple of years. (We're still friends today however if I knew why I was the way I was I'd be better able to steer the course).
  4. Buy all the stocks dude. (not really)
  5. Due to knowing why I am the way I am (see 1.), I'd be able to better deal with all The Stuff and make better decisions, or rather actually make decisions.
  6. Play the sports with more application.

The US. I'm Scottish, 56 years old. I've been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.

I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.

I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump's first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can't stomach racism or any of the hate shit.

Seeing what's happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.

I cleaned my bike chain a couple of weeks ago and it was caked in grease+dirt. First I used a flathead screwdriver to dislodge as much crust as possible, then an awl/pick to get into smaller spaces then I used hot soapy water + eco/biodegradable dish soap + stiff brush. I scrubbed the chain while it was on the bike then I removed the chain (and rear mech and cassette) and scrubbed them all again.

After I dried them all using a towel then sprayed with WD40. Allowed this to evaporate, sprayed them with EPA, then greased them all with lithium grease spray.

I disassembled the mech, cleaned all the individual parts the same way, then used lithium grease on the pivots and bearings. reassembled, refitted, and it's all running like new.

I probably could have used some bike degreaser however I didn't have any and couldn't be arsed going to buy some.

I have a 1998 Kona Cinder Cone. It sat in a shed for 7 years and rust destroyed many of the components. I priced replacement parts to get it ready to ride again and I also found a used 2016 Boardman FS Pro on ebay. The used Boardman cost less than the parts for the Kona, and the Boardman was full suspension with excellent parts. I bought the Boardman. It's been loads of fun.

I guess what I'm saying is ... I agree with you :))
