Hey, thanks; but no, I'm not up to it anymore.

All the information is here: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/opc.html But summing it up: The correct bearings for the Huffy Crankbroke and similar Cheap Chinese bikes is the 5/16 x 10, also called bearing #66. The two brands I have here, that I bought online several years ago, are Wheels Manufacturing ...

E-mail the Placement team -- placement@burningman.org -- and ask to sign up for the Placement Newsletter. [There's a way you can do it yourself, but I'm not that computer-savvy.] Also, briefly state what you want to do. Please keep it short and to the point -- they are mostly volunteers and often al...

I also need to guess what you are doing. But I followed the link, and additional links, and found this image: https://i.imgur.com/5Hl06il.png If this is your "foot plate", I see three possible weaknesses. 1 – The metal is thin and the hole is close to the edge. Conceivably, the lag-screw might tear ...

Hello, Elfina! In case no-one already welcomed you to ePlaya, please allow me to hereby do so. [ fanfares and drum rolls, marching bands, giant key to the city, speeches, fireworks ] Why, yes, come to think of it, as a matter of fact... I do know about used bikes available for sale right outside bur...

Hey there, Very_original_name. Welcome to ePlaya! I have had a number of Brits in my camp over the years – a wonderful specie of humans. Now, First... to your immense credit, you said... "...- now obviously, I know that's a horrible idea and MOOPy af, and there's no way I'm leaving it on the playa."...

I second the motion!

Children, children, behave!
What will 5DLightworker think of our manners?!

[ tunes up his lyre, then sings ] O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road, And we'll be on Playa together. But mass is mass and pressure is pressure, And never the twain shall meet. On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lahontan. [ tosses lyre on scrap pile, and laughs with his ePlaya f...

And then.... Someone gifted me a Mongoose Beast with 4.00-wide tires, and suddenly I could FLYYYYYY! Absolutely amazing how it sails over Dust-dunes, even with the Beast (and Dolomite, etc.) weighing over 50 pounds, as opposed to a Huffy Crankbroke at 35 pounds.

I was hoping you would join Mary's reunion thread!

Embrace the phone. The phone is your friend.

Pretty sure we did that in 2014 -- FIGJAM embracing, and some other fellow offering our friend a choice of wines.

... Nice sermon Father Elliot. ... Thanks, but that might be pushing it for a card-carrying non-theist. :P I re-joined Fb last year for the same reason I bought a computer 20 years ago -- a necessary evil. Though, 20 years ago, I did not anticipate how evil this technology would become in the hands...

Hi, Mary! I have also had to discard my Fb account and start a brand-new one. And recently, the crooks hacked into a dear friend's regular e-mail account. Luckily, I recognized that the message I received "over her signature" was not consistent with her personality, so I telephoned her. We, as a soc...

Agreed.

BRRRRRRT.
BRRRRRRRRRRRT.
Mission accomplished.

...A-10 Warthog... ...single full burst... Alas, the wonderful Warthog, rescuer of countless US ground troops, cannot fire long burst, and certainly not a full magazine. The recoil of each round is so strong that the airplane slows down significantly with even short bursts. A full magazine at once ...

So, Ukraine is not in NATO. Is that our excuse? Am I the only human in the western world who realizes that Putin is assembling a gigantic radiation bomb at Chernobyl, aimed squarely at NATO by the prevailing winds? "Instant dirty bomb, just add enough dynamite." If that's not an immediate existentia...

I fail to understand it. We often hear that "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it". But here we are with Hitler and Poland all over again, and the free western world plans to "impose stern economic sanctions" on Adolf Putin?! I seem to want to ask... Please tell me which econ...

Thank you, Canoe! This is precicely the sort of clue I am hoping for. And while the date would fit, it is entirely possible that my memory is off by a continent or two. Though... I still feel pretty sure it was directly related to a US presidential campaign, which I believe is why I remember so stro...

Brand new -- many years old -- topic, but is hopefully a reasonably good fit for this thread. I'm looking for a specific quote by... specifically whom? This is about something that was said, and who said it, in the presidential campaign of either 2008, 2012, or 2016. The grotesque blunder in questio...

Looks like this is a common online wisecrack in many countries, going back at least a year. My brief search failed to find a commercially published version, but this handwritten version is from an online community forum in a small town in Sweden a year ago. (I speak Norwegian and understand Swedish ...

Hi yg, thanks for asking.
Yep, everything is good where I am.... ... ...

Good to hear you are all right, Herr Doktor von Braun.
Matt & Karine are in Lawrenceburg. Are you over that way also?

Le Chat Noir reports they are OK in their part of Kentucky.

... ... ... ... On the positive side, this will spur a new cycle of dystopian cyberpunk novels and movies! We already have some odd movies like Free Guy and other living inside the game movies.
