... there is far more good in the world than bad.....just look at through a dogs eyes once in awhile. There isn't a single shard of evidence supporting the notion that life is serious.

This sure put a big smile on the ol' guys face! Neat thought! The dogs I've known always seemed to have it right.

The funny and obvious flaw in that woman's logic, is thinking that imposing a law to restrict ownership of guns will impact the people who consciously choose not to follow the laws.

What any law restricting ownership of guns does effect, and exclusively effects/impacts, are people who follow laws owning guns.

I'm pretty sure weed has been illegal here in CA for plenty long enough, many series of decades, and I'm pretty sure enough billions of dollars of resources have been wasted and terrible harms done by cartels using people to smuggle it or turf wars over distribution in far away lands that used to supply CA etc. No shortage of people imprisoned for life over it, no shortage of bodies turned cold from people playing both sides of this insane game, and yet, I know I can walk to the local Jr. High, not even a High School, just a Jr. High, and with 100% certainty be able to score weed at a decent price and quality, without so much as even needing to make prior arrangements before hand. Just don't be a cop, ask a trouble maker looking kid who to get weed from, he might sell to you directly, might refer you to someone, either way you could source it easily with no credentials beyond some pocket cash, from kids under the legal age to even drive a car, in minutes of effort. (Yet, buying alcohol at a Jr. High would be more difficult, and oddly despite being a radically more harmful/dangerous/destructive drug, is available at the store down the street from the Jr. High for folks who can produces a card with droplets of ink arranged on its face in the right array of shapes) And this is something they've spent over a HUNDRED BILLION dollars and who knows how many lives of people involved in the game to stop. It's not just like it's a bad idea, it's like it involves insanity to even get lured towards the concept, or some radical mis-comprehension of the reality of the world, which may be the case for the people dreaming arranging dots of ink on paper can make guns vanish from the world (which frankly would be great, I think hunting with a bow is far more impressive anyways).


In 2005, the DEA seized a reported $1.4 billion in drug trade related assets and $477 million worth of drugs.[15] However, according to the White House's Office of Drug Control Policy, the total value of all of the drugs sold in the U.S. is as much as $64 billion a year,[16] making the DEA's efforts to intercept the flow of drugs into and within the U.S. less than 1% effective.

1% effective on stopping drug trade/sales, and this is after they've spent a cumulative total greater than 1 TRILLION dollars and many decades of trying things to stop drugs from being a part of the US. While simultaneously funding various divisions like CIA op's etc from selling/importing heroin and opium into other countries like Vietnam etc, and being shocked when some of our troops come back addicted.

Richard Branson has it right on here (as do other people who aren't either insane, or so detached from reality they think it's working).

I don't know what sort of fruity translation this Frenchman is using, his posts are sometimes a little hard to follow but often (untentionally I suspect) rather amusing
 
From the Aussie ebike racing thread, thud is referring to this incident:

I thought Aussie's were tough.....I am an old, one armed,greying, dried out, fat, shell of an old man......I drove 30 hours to my last race.....killed an elk with my bare hands (on the steering wheel anyway) on the way home just for kicks. :twisted:

Man up already.

I think the problem you're referring to was with the H35s. Not so much an erection problem but I think they got a bit excited and released their product too soon. Most are aware of chafing issues around the shaft and this led to some very short rides.

(Sometimes I wonder at the things some people think are "Quotable.")

Right so we've reached page 8 and concluded that the original poster should have titled the whole thread "Conclusive proof gearboxes are awesome in my specific circumstance".

Go for gold guys

In reference to spoke nipples.
They will fit... but those nipples are like budda - so it is highly likely that they will strip on you and make you miserable.

I don't know if this forum is the best place to ask this question though. I doubt there are many fabricators here.
