Darchangel posted:Fair, and a valid point. Certainly one that the anti-mask/vax crowd never considers, since their worldview begins and ends at their own selves, and their comfort. The solution is lifting people out of poverty. When poverty goes down, the birth rate goes down, education and civic engagement go up. It's why conservatives are so hard against it. In brighter news, the roof of my car is hot enough to fry an egg on.  In not so bright news, this was me in the hospital the other night.  They did blood tests and a CT scan, no blood clots. They can't explain poo poo even though the numbers indicate there is a serious problem. The half assed day shift doctor said "maybe covid", did a swab and fired me out the door so i dunno. I guess i just can't climb stairs without taking a nap anymore.

So much this. Oddly, they also never seem to figure out that well-fed, fully-employed-at-a-living-wage, happy people who aren't routinely persecuted, abused by authority, or denied opportunity because of their heritage very rarely protest or make trouble. quote:In brighter news, the roof of my car is hot enough to fry an egg on. I expect this poo poo in Texas, not the PNW, much less Canadia. quote:In not so bright news, this was me in the hospital the other night. Uh, yeah, they need to provide a better explanation for that. Or at least a remedy.

When I went to ER in the middle of the night for intense abdominal pain the ER doc gave me two bags of fluid, a shot of morphine then tried to send me on my way. We knew something was wrong and requested to be admitted, less than six hours later emergency surgery to remove a blockage along with a foot and a half of dead intestine. Point being doctors don't know everything, you can fire your doctor and request a different one.

Ah, the good doctor old punt. "I can't find anything that would cause you to be here, so clearly you don't belong in my care, even though you're having severe medical issues that brought you here in the first place. Have a lovely non-answer, get out of here, and go see a specialist in 3 weeks" Hopefully your BP isn't in the danger zone anymore, that's some concerning poo poo

Still road trippin’, averaging 42.5mpg with one tank @ 50mpg. This car eats up miles like a champ. Mountain passes in Wyoming and Logan Canyon have been a hoot.     Shameless gnome’s-eye-view selfie with the kids  Bonus bison 30’ from our Yellowstone campsite. We watched him munch for about two hours before he settled down and went to sleep another 10’ closer.

looks like you lost the whole valve core there. they generally thread into what’s left there. might be worth carrying a spare… AmbassadorofSodomy posted:are they actually better in some way? the main advantage they have over schrader valves is that they don’t have a spring in them, which theoretically makes them easier to pump by hand

snugglz posted:looks like you lost the whole valve core there. they generally thread into what’s left there. might be worth carrying a spare… Yeah, you can see the valve core sticking out of the inflator here:  The inflator engaged the threads on the valve core, which were gummed up with something or another. I had to use a pair of pliers to remove it. Someone over in TGO had the same thing happen with the same inflator. Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:I actually had that exact same issue with that inflator head. Finished a gravel race with it stuck on as well. Verdict: get a press-on inflator (arrives today, along with a replacement tube)

Safety Dance posted:Yeah, you can see the valve core sticking out of the inflator here: Not every presta valve on a tube has a removable core. I don't have a lot of experience with tubeless valve stems, but I'd think all of those need to have a removable core to get the goop in. How you'll be able to identify which tube has which without pestering an LBS, I have no idea.

Applebees Appetizer posted:A buddy of mine owns a bike shop, has been working on bikes for years and he says tubeless bike tires are poo poo and he just puts tubes in them Being able to run lower pressures off road and not snakebiting a tube is great. But you can run them at low pressures that allow you to roll them off the rim too if you fully commit to cutty a corner at speed. I've been out on rides on shale slopes and have slashed the sidewall of my tyre. If I was running tubeless I'd have had a loooooooong walk back to the car, luckily I run tubes and had some duct tape wrapped round my pump for precisely this type of emergency. Duct tape the inside of the tyre a bunch, sling a new tube in and you're good to go again. I mean you can throw a tube in a tubeless tyre at a pinch but holy gently caress that's going to be messy. I can see the advantages for sure but it's not worth it for me personally.

It's me, I am the stupid poo poo. Got pissed at my Vic starting up the misfire roulette again and decided to remind it which of us is more stubborn. So tore down the fuel rail and replaced all the spark plugs, the ignition coils, and a fuel injector in the apartment parking lot at 90 degrees. Car much happier. Me, very loving warm. Decisions were made. On the other hand, I can do 0-60 pulls at WOT without misfires. Now I'm going to celebrate my birthday by grilling dead animal and drinking this bottle of vodka.

Literally had 2 root canals the past 2 months. My endodontist is fantastic. I have super, super deep roots too. Over 25mm. My mom is actually visiting right now and needed to get one while she's here so she saw my specialist. She had one almost 50 years ago but left some of the root which now is infected and he had to take out and clean up. I paid for her copay as a birthday present. Happy birthday! Went out shopping for the first time in a year and a half without a mask. Felt weird going into a store but I brought one with me just in case. One store I went into had a big sign up that said "masks required" so I put it on. Walked into the store and every single staff member was not wearing one but all the customers were LOL.

gently caress yes struggling to insure the new car because everyone's system shows the wrong address for our postcode. I thought we had this fixed, I've not had this issue for a couple of years. Hey well then I'll go back to my current insurer because they recognised the address last time oh wait they don't now? Awesome. I wanted to get this sorted by the weekend so my wife can play in her new car while I go to a friend's 40th, looks like every part of that is in jeopardy now.

I honestly don't know, this poo poo stopped me getting fibre to the house a while ago because the supplier wouldn't let me correct their address and wanted to install it to a house on a different street, which would have been a suprise to the occupants. I'll phone and talk to real people tomorrow.
