    Welcome to the IHoP

    Bouncing back has never been a problem, but I'm starting to feel some effed up depressive cycle. I don't want to enter my 30's that way.

    What happened ? In short I've basically spoon fed my supervisor for her job. I applied and was looked over even though I had more experience. In buisness I understand keeping your friends close, but it's really costing our department money with how much waste is going on. I onboarded here so I wouldn't have to take work home and could just come in, work, then go home. Now I feel I'm taking work stresss home, not getting compensated for the aditional stress, and watching some not so good people get credit for my ideas. I wouldn't mind one bit of any of those things if I felt that it was appreciated. My philosophy is always to work hard enough to get my boss promoted and then move myself up if I want. Here I feel as if I'm punished for being good at my job, and I don't really get thanks for the extra work put in.

    I'll never talk bad about my employer, but I'm really on my last threads.

    250w to little for power hx2?

    Too few watts wont hurt your sub. You getting frisky with the gains and sending it clipped signals could no problem.

    Good smartphones and providers.

    here is what I require in a phone. It took me a lot of phones to fine this out, so hold a lot in your hand, and if you know someone who has one, test drive it when you see them. #1 I need touch screen. #2 I need a keyboard(not on screen only). #3 Must have GPS and some direction finding software that is free #4 Must be relatively sturdy #5 Must not be an iphone from there it gets muddy now. The motorola droid phone looks pretty amazing... but I'm a huge WinMob fan. I also love HTC products. I have the touch pro 2 now in fact and it's amazing and I haven't even put on any custom software yet. The trick is to find what you want and then stick with it. Lots of people love BB, but to me it's only good for buisness. my wife however LOVES hers. Different strokes.

    The only problem with talking accusing hackers for hacking in your car is that it's ciminal profiling. They may not be a hacker, hacking your car. They might just be a normal car theif that happened to steal a laptop prior to the grand theft they are about to commit. Like a warm up you know. To then ask them if they are a hacker or to look up and find out if they are in fact a hacker is wrong. Just because they are breaking one law doesn't mean that ANYONE should have the right to see if they are breaking another. Besides hacking isn't really "illeagle" it's at most just undocumented network usage. We should stop criminal profiling. Some eleventy-bajillion criminals have signed a petition to stop this profiling and unlawfull law enforcement.

    You and me both! 3x ftmfl It completely turned off my dash in the expy. Funny thing is.... it ride smoother and has less engine missfire problems. I still won't plug in my tuner untill I get this electrical problem fixed. I truely thought a properly sealed windsheild would stop the water from getting in.

    Riding a bike without REALLY sucks. I would say that it's the #1 way to improve your biking. This is assuming you're using the right tire for the job.

    After you hit 50, sure. You're just jelly. All the fastest man power speed records are made on a recombant. I am not in it for speed. The thing with a recumbant is I would look at it and constant think about strapping an engine to the back of it. It looks just made for it. On the other hand I bet jack could really pull me well too.....

    When it comes to bikes, really steel is the best way to go for long term ownership. The best reason, steel actually can be fixed. none of the other options fix well.

    If the W pedals it makes it so much easier to do. You get to check the "spent time with wife" and "did something healthy" box all in one. So many guys make their wives feel unwelcome in the activity. It's really a dumb idea. She has a Giant XTC NRS full suspension bike. I ordered some 1.25" slicks for it that'll take 95psi which should allow her to keep up somewhat okay. It should be comfortable with the flat bars and the saddle & bar height at the same level. Long term I am looking to build her a touring bike. Not because we will tour, but because for 30mi+ days they are about the most comfortable thing you could sit on and the time savings of minutes per hour on a racing bike isn't worth it. Been looking at old vintage steel frames and modern component groups on the web. I HATE aluminum frames, won't spend the dough on Ti for her, and don't see the value in Carbon. Steel is real and it is what we will both ride...that is until I have a custom made for me Actually there is a Lemond Poprad frameset in my size on CL locally I might pickup for myself as well. Sell the Mt. Bike and have a knobby road bike instead...or in addition. Who knows. You need to get with the times gramps! Aluminum and Carbon FTW! jk, but why don't you like aluminum. My bike is aluminum and couldn't see anything about it that would make me want steel. long term ownership.

    Epic win. I'm sure Pelosi will need it. Grass roots movement and all that. It's like a double wide trailor for billionaires.

    I could probably find a reason to have a recumbant bike though. Those are epic

    Man with a plan. I think I'm going to get a fixed back over built off road bike and just get slick tires for road going. It will probably see 80% roads, but I know if I start pedaling again I'm going to want to throw it off something stupid. I know myself. No room in my budget for 2 bikes either.

    They are cheep. I would have one if I could fit in one. Guess I really get the best of both worlds. I'm 6'1" 210 lbs. But with the seat adjusted I've fit into almost every car I've ever sat in, comfortably. (not back seats). I'm tall enough that people call me tall but short enough not to worry about those kind of things. You'd fit, but you wouldn't be comfortable. Hell I fit, but have to sit back about 1/2 block from a stoplight otherwise I can't see it. I am all legs so you'd probably be somewhat in a similar position. 6'7" - 210lbs, 37" cycling inseam I'm too chubby now but even when I had a 34-36 waist my head was 2" over the windsheild. Never climbed into one that had a roof. I also had to have the window down otherwise my shoulder was pushed in from being so wide.

    Miles gettign easier? I've been working the recumbant bike in my basement slowly. Knees are not fond of me movine again. Funny, it actually comes down to how hard I try to go fast. If I go at pace, I am fine. Bought a heart rate monitor, which I believe will make that choice easier. Pumping like a madman will really bring down your overall output, but sometimes it's fun to just go all out.
