Lmao classic trailer jank

Old 26’er with a rotted chain, quill stem, rim brakes, and the break lines are probably rotted in the tubes? Honestly go for it, my “first” bike was an old hand-me-down just like it and it got me through dozens of miles of trail once fixed up. There are probably much better bikes for a few hundred on fb marketplace, but if your goal is to learn on a budget then you’re already halfway there! I would recommend some penetrating oil though…

Edit: curious about the bright pink sprocket, also we can’t see if the crank or cassette are badly shark toothed, but if they look like Jaws you may want to consider another bike

That shit that ain’t even come out the ass yet

His name was James Connelly, and he didn’t come here to die!

Brilliant ty

Someone mentioned Kolashanpan, I’ll also throw Vimto in the mix. Both drinks of the gods.

That’s funny lmao, I drove back through Galveston from my spot on the coast this last weekend. The traffic was heavy and chaotic bc some idiot had backed their truck off the seawall trying to get out of parallel parking. Probably drunk.

How about honeysuckle vs trumpet vine? Both grow like hell, invasively, where I live. One is a tasty and pleasant treat when flowering. The other is just… there, growing. A lot.

He’s a madman! Very creative

We got Dedra Meero at home

Texas here, and no, not in most places and settings that aren’t bars clubs and restaurants. Although, as long as they’re not getting trashed most people will have some beers in the cooler and just keep them in coozies so they could conceivably be soft drinks. Nobody pretends to be fooled by the plausible deniability, but this would be mostly in local or state parks where you might fish or picnic, and again, hopefully not to the point of drunkenness. Because everything in Texas is a minimum 20-30 min drive we have a high DUI rate though, unfortunately. All that aside, people have already pointed out it depends. The south and Midwest or anywhere that could be considered ‘bible belt’ are going to have stricter laws on the books. That said, if you’re drunk in public and have people that care about you, you’ll probably just get an Uber home. You mostly see these laws applied to belligerent drunks causing problems or being disruptive. I’ve seen a guy get bounced, try to fight the bouncer in the street, then 3 off duty fire fighters backing him up, and finally the police that showed up, for example.

Edit: actually, it’s worse than you think here lol, we have “dry counties” where it’s not illegal to drink but IS illegal to sell hard liquors in stores. Restaurants etc. still sell alcohol. Bottle shop is a county over.

I heard somewhere private equity firms are coming for our pets already, buying up tons of local and regional pet hospitals, dog and pet food suppliers, etc. Basically they know kids are increasingly unaffordable and so they need to capitalize on the fact more millennials are staying childless and treating their pet as their child.

These Am-180s fuck tho, affectionately nicknamed ‘a swarm of angry bees.’ Forgotten weapons has a good video on it

Passing this on bc some beautiful person posted this somewhere before and I sent to my brother. You do not have to be Jewish to apply, although I believe it is domestic (though could help you find relative safety in the meantime).

Also this. Basically, TXDOT orders review of the new Corpus Christi bay bridge after a campus bridge built by the contractors failed. Review found the pylon supports insufficient, but they also found the triangle frame connecting the box frames with cables would merc those cables with almost any sheer force. I believe changes were made, have new contractor and project is moving forward as of late last year.

An NRA honey-potted by Maria Butina, Republican reps regularly summering in St Petersburg, old ties to Russian mobsters and kgb like mogilevich/dubinin, bromance with Putin himself and their 2-hours-in-heaven, shady PACs and an enormous dark slush fund? Hmmm… idk, I don’t see the connection /s

I actually really enjoy translating the whole comments pages sometimes if I get the meme through context clues, can’t tell if things get lost in translation or German humor is just really odd though…

“…and is listed as a contributor to Project 2025” seriously, fuck this guy, it looks like he’s been snubbed in elections by Republicans, snubbed in elections by Democrats, and other than his Bush-era house committee chair he’s a total loser who sycophanted his way into MAGA relevancy.

I’m biased bc I played oboe in school band but it’s true, a really great sounding oboe goes totally unappreciated. I was asked to do the solo to “Kiss from a Rose” or w/e by Seal and that had probably one of the only mainstream music oboe solos. Sadly the singer went with a different song before the show.
