There’s repugnigans everywhere in California. There’s just more Democrats.

I wouldn’t say there are more Republicans in wine country than any other agricultural region in the state. Probably slightly fewer.

The colonies weren’t “allowed” to leave England either, yet here we are.

Would it cause a civil war? Yea. Would California win? Of course not.

Do you think physical distance is keeping the data safely within our borders?

Feels like they are both made up scenarios for rage-bait. In both scenarios, the first two questions are completely relevant and the third is only a problem if you’re already looking for a problem.

I love tech. I even love tech just for tech’s sake.

But if I’m buying a car, I personally want to buy it from a car company, not a tech company.

And you have a population that largely supports the actions of the government.

It’s not the government just doing what it pleases, it’s doing what its population wants it to do.

Say it loud for those in the back, it’s not just the leaders.

Don’t protest. Document.

Make sure to take pictures of the people walking in, and to document the license plates of the RAM trucks and Dodge Chargers in the parking lot.

Guess maybe I fall on the wrong side of that divide. :-)

Are you suggesting LLMs aren’t powering ChatGPT, the AI front in the post is about? Or am I just missing your joke (which is possible?)

I figured. Here I am trying to visualize any way a f2f could even work.

I know you’re probably being facetious, but if not a female-to-female cord wouldn’t expose live wires the way a male-to-male one would. In fact, I can’t think of a way it’d be dangerous, and I can’t even think of a way it’d be useful.

 

Grant Petersen designed #BridgestoneRB-1 (1989 in this case) has been a grail bike frame of mine for years.

This beauty showed up at a swap meet this weekend, and was complete and in great working order. Took it home for $250.

I have a full set of 11s 105 that’s going to make its way onto the bike, and I’ll keep the Suntour GTX components safe for the originalists out there.

Winter project nearing completion, but I am having decision paralysis on the last few pieces. I'm thinking of a honey colored Brooks saddle and color matching bar tape (shallaced cotton maybe). Then some tan sidewall touring tires. Which in turn would all match the honey colored leather of the bag.

My biggest questions are color options for the saddle, bar tape, and tires in contrast to the blue of the frame? And on the subject of tires, what would you choose? Wheels are 700c, and I think 32s would fit.

Oh ya, and eventually there'll be hammered silver Honjo fenders when I can find them.
