KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:continuing bicycle chat over here - is it still impossible to buy bicycles? i kind of want one I'm trying to buy a bike since my old one got stolen and i've moved cities so I couldn't just go to my old bike shop. Got a new one recommended, fairly popular indie bike shop. DM'd them on instagram (since their website is crap but their IG is very active) with "Hey, my bike got stolen, I'd love to get a gravel bike" "Sure, come on down to chat with us! The ones you want are out of stock but we're getting new ones". Fine, I go down to them, they're pretty busy but the guy behind the counter says "Awesome, we can get you sorted but we do all this over email". They haven't been super responsive over email since "it's been super busy" and we've gone back and forth over other options and sizes but it's glacial. Like dude, I just want to give you money for a bike instead of ordering it from All-City since i don't want to put it together myself. 2 weeks later, no bike yet.

STR posted:rich people cars I have a hard time believing they actually drive themselves - my take is the "I own a Honda Accord" is definitely for show and he most likely gets chauffered around. Bezos time is way too valuable to be spent stuck behind the wheel in Seattle traffic. Same with Zuck - 4-5 years ago his security detail was like 4 suburbans that pissed off neighbors by taking up valuable street parking at his house in SF he got while his wife was doing her residency at the nearby hospital. Edit: the door desk thing is just optics - they're more expensive than normal desks. Everyone at the Seattle twitch office HATED them (the other twitch offices had normal sit/stand desks)

STR posted:With Bezos, yeah, you're very likely right. Especially with the mansions he owns. Zuck at least still drives himself around. There’s multiple articles out there stating zuck gets carted around by his security team. Esp now I can’t imagine his minders allowing him to drive

meatpimp posted:Edit: I had to look up your post to see what you were talking about, and I'm more concerned with your phone being at 47% at 8AM. I stopped charging my phone at night for whatever reason, since i'm either gonna be at my desk all day, or it'll be connected to my car if i'm driving.

nm posted:garagechat We never actually checked if our car would fit in the garage in this house we're renting, which is a ~1930s tract house. Luckily the crosstrek fits fine, but I've been wanting to upgrade to an Outback. At 14" longer, I probably won't be able to park in the garage with a hitch-mounted bike carrier, so it'll have to wait until next house.
