The same idiot that thinks an omniscient, omnipotent being created you and gets mad about your sexuality.

Assuming you plug it into the same receptacle or one that is on the same phase, nothing happens. Stupid for sure, don't do that, but it's already wired that way in the wall, you aren't short circuiting anything with a cable like that (also assuming you didn't mix up the neutral/hot wires when you made the cable). USA outlets at least. I don't know about the rest of the world.

My brother in Christ, you are conflating free speech with the freedom from consequences. You are free to express your opinions. You will not be arrested for that. You can use the internet however you wish to express whatever opinions you have, no matter how stupid or hateful they are.

However, if your opinion sucks, the community will "deal with it" by down voting your dumb ass, and if you piss enough people off, you'll get banned. Your rights have not been infringed. You're just an asshole and people don't want to listen to you anymore. You can freely go complain about it somewhere else.

I'm sure there is a community on the Internet that would welcome your shitty opinions into their little echo chamber. Go there if you don't like it here. Or, as you say: "deal with it".

I'm aware of the existence and superiority of maple syrup. I only use Aunt Jemima in this example because that's what oversweetened tea tastes like to me: shit.

The trick is to order half sweet/half unsweet. Otherwise you get Aunt Jemima on ice.

Yeah, I'm not in a hurry to die. I love my life, and I'm very fortunate to be in that position. But "living" forever sounds like hell to me. Especially if I would have to spend it with those idiots.

I have the same color scheme on my Clash. Love it. I had to rebuild the rear wheel and I used purple anodized nipples for that extra steeze.

 

Description says it all. 3 years ago I hadn't hit a gap jump bigger than a bike length.

Yeah definitely no rebind. I use dvorak and what I realized was that you don't memorize the locations of the keys in vi, you memorize the letters themselves. So once you know the layout, you don't have to relearn vi. But if you remap your keys, you'll have to do both.

With all my gear, probably 185lbs.

Depends. I have a few setups I run.

Trail bike (Clash 2021) 27.5x2.4":

  • 25/f 29/r for higher consequence trails with lots of rocks and roots. I hate squirmy tires, and the suspension eats up most of the impact.
  • 24/f 27/r for better traction for more of the daily trail ride conditions.

Jump/SS (Meta HT AM 2020) 27.5x2.8":

  • 18/f 18/r for trails
  • 24/f 25/r for jumps

On trails, if it's really slick, I may drop 1-2psi for better traction. Obviously, if jumps are slick, I won't ride them.

 

There's nothing quite like landing something for the first time. I've been eyeballing this line for almost 2 years and when I first saw it I never thought for a moment I would be riding it, but this past weekend I broke the mental barrier and executed.

 

I never thought I would do this run, but this past weekend I finally managed to break through the mental barrier and execute. I cannot describe how ecstatic I was when I got on the on-off.

 
 

What do you do when it's raining? I've been swimming and using the rock climbing wall, but I'm really missing the trail rides. How do you keep busy?

I'm so stoked on this jump right now. I crashed on my 3rd attempt. This was the redemption run.
