lol, I think everyone's got a good falling over story for clipless pedals. Mine was several months in to using them and I just started tipping over at a red light in front of the busiest boulevard in my city with hundreds of people around.

They're great for multi-day bike camping trips where you're going to get dirty and wet and don't want to be sliding off the pedals. The only other thing I use them for is my fixed gear to keep my feet locked on

Knew a guy when I was in the navy that managed to break wrist, elbow, 2 ribs and collarbone the first time he used his lol

I see you have the same accident reports in your city as I do

Mauser posted:

It might seem counterintuitive, but with a lot of intersections it's safer to go through a red light than wait for a green. You're still slowing/stopping at the red to make sure it's clear. If you wait for the green, now you're trying to go through an intersection at the same time as drivers are trying to turn through you. They judge the timing poorly, they don't see you, they race around you and slam on the brakes in front of you, etc. etc.

Waiting for a green is for chumps in their boxes that can't see anything.

That depends entirely on the style. Lots of them wrap around and are essentially tear away pants with no rear end. Or crotch.

About your second point... ads are for other people. But it still annoys me when people link content that has clearly been stretched to pad for time. I watched for a few minutes as he sets the backstory, says something along the lines of 'which makes his next appearance all the more amazing', then promptly cuts to a shot of his mug as he goes off on some tangent.

There is no schaden in people so inured to bad media that they'll unironically defend it. (And I say this on a dead gay forum.)

That's literally just Jon Bois. His videos have been the same since before he put them on YT. It's just how he does poo poo.

But hey you got to show how much better than other people you are, so have a gold star for outstanding media literacy in the who fuckin cares category.

I mean, I obviously know what the word literally means. If I didn't I'm currently using a tool that can tell me the definition of any word in any language, so instead of looking stupid on SA (too late!) I'd have just looked it up. What confuses me is how kids use the word. Has it become just a way of saying "I'm playing pretend on the internet, and what I'm pretending is that I'm somehow worth paying attention to while I contrive to look like I'm in a perfume ad?"

I and many others have told you what it means and now you're just being a fuckin goon refusing to understand normal things.

I've heard several stories where parents drove their family home only to realise they left one of their children behind

Friend of mine was working 12s, 6 on one off, and they had an 18 month old baby. His wife went to work like an hour before he did, so he had to take the baby to daycare.

Thankfully they lived 2 houses down, because I went to leave and the carseat was sitting in his driveway, baby sound asleep. Kid had kept him up every night that week, and he just flat out went through the motions. About 15m later he showed up absolutely panicked, because he walked inside the daycare before realizing no kid.

Aramoro posted:

Wait, how do your mortgages work?

You get a 15 or 30yr loan (usually) at a fixed rate (there are other types, but this is most common). The interest rate stays at whatever it was when you took the loan out, unless you voluntarily refinance it.

So for example we got incredibly lucky by having the one form of socialism in the US available to us (veteran) and got our house just before covid at a 3.9%, and then refinanced it for 2.6%. It will be 2.6% for the life of the loan.

Instead of the canadian/British way where you have a 25 or 30yr loan broken into multiple terms that are at the whims of the current interest rate.

Americans using loans like the ones you guys have is essentially the type of loan that caused the 2010 collapse.
