As someone with rich Italian heritage, you disgust me. May god have mercy on your soul.

I bought a simple spin bike thirdhand. Guy who owned it before me got it from a gym. You twist a knob and it increases pressure on a leather brake. Its built like a tank.

Its great and like you say, if I wanted I could just look up spin videos on youtube for free.

Why would I bother with a Peloton?

On a human timescale? No.

On a cosmic timescale? Hell yeah.

I havent seen the Huffington Post website in years. Clicked on this to see the video. About 20 seconds of the video, 30 seconds of ads, another 20 second clip. More ads.

At least the article isnt paywalled. Ill give them that.

Canada. Not as many as in the US but the Canadian flag is flown in many households.

When you help a campaign based on a race to the bottom, always expect to be a casualty on the way down.

Thats a pretty weak argument my dude.

Atlantic Canada. I don't mean like cling wrap stretchy. It just isn't like the crinkly kind of plastic. It has some give if you try to stretch it.

It seems to stay more crinkly even after normalizing.

That's how presliced bread comes in Canada. I'm talking the sandwich loaf stuff. Not nice handmade bread.

 

So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can't seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.

Living the dream.

 
 

Hi all. When I bought my house I also inherited several plastic raised beds. The previous owner told me to mound up the dirt every winter so the soil wouldnt expand and crack them.

I was wondering if this is actually necessary or just something they thought they needed to do. I have never heard of this before but then again, Ive always only had wooden ones before.

Im trying not to till the soil too much so Id like to avoid mounding it if I can. Does anyone here have plastic raised beds? Do you mound the soil or leave it as is?

 

Cant even identify a simple ladybug.

 

1 meter wide. 666 clues total.

 

Not sure Im ready for one of these 'internal combustion' cars I keep hearing about. Until they can sort out the risk of the flammable liquids you have to put in them from catching fire it seems too dangerous and impractical.

 

After trying (and failing) to rescue an overwatered Echeveria plant from the supermarket, I sort of got addicted to succulents and went out and bought this one. I have no idea what Im doing but Im hoping starting with a healthy one will be a better introduction.
