  1. When I was working on a real estate project in Vero Beach, FL... The developers were able to buy land in other places so that they could get the right to use the land that was a part of the property but was designated as some kind of protected natural environment (it was along the coast). As you said... Money can usually buy what's needed. Another way that developers go, is if some kind of artifacts are found while excavating the property, which usually means the project gets shut down for these artifacts to be investigated... If they can, the developer will just go in and bulldoze the entire area with dirt brought in from somewhere else... Covering up everything under many feet of dirt. Seen it happen... Even at the expense of tearing down protected trees and having to pay multiple fines. Most commercial land developers are insatiable folk who are pretty much driven by $$$ profits.
  2. Tee hee. "...Hello... Hello... Hey you... Kettle..."...
  3. Regarding the first part... Sure sounds like the need to become more informed about the use of "...public space/open space/parks..." is also growing with the growth of "...user demand for these resources...". I wonder... What are the various ways this can be effectively carried out. Regarding the second aspect... LOL... Here I am... How's that for a "...timely reminder...".
  4. Little men always try to bolster themselves in whatever way they can.
  5. It's funny... I have a bike that can be run as a 26er... A 27.5er... A 27.5/26er... A 29/27.5er... All, given actual rider feedback, work perfectly.
  6. But it sure can get complicated,,, https://bikerumor.com/2020/06/05/aasq-71-high-pivot-witchcraft-forbidden-commencal-deviate-starling-actofive-dispel-myths/
  7. I've got this like new E-flite Blade CX-3 RC Helicopter for sale. From reviews it seems like a great RC helicopter for beginners to learn to fly on. The box has been opened but it was ever used. As you can see on the price tag on the box, it retailed for $199.99... I'm asking $95. Includes a brand new battery bought at Hobbytown a few weeks ago for $17.99.
  8. I've used these grips from Walmart and feedback was fine... One of the bikes I used them on was for a 5'2" female rider.
  9. That was Jesus... And He accomplished what He came to accomplished. Now we move onto another aspect of God's economy. Regarding you having a thorough rebuttal to Romans 13... Vanity is common with fallen man.
  10. Actually... The bible says keep a low profile and don't stir up the pot with your neighbors. Also says submit to those God puts over you to govern.
  11. And the downward... Sideways... Other sideways... Upward... Downward... Sideways... Downward... Upward... Downward confusion continues. The seemingly normal confusion of these days aside... I now have something like 20+ bikes in my garage to work on for people. It's like they see me outside my garage working on a bicycle and BAM... "Could you help me with my bicycle?"
  12. Got news yesterday evening that someone I know here in Austin had died of COVID-19 complications. He was in his mid-late 60s I think, and definitely carried too much weight. Worked as a maintenance contractor, so he would have been out an about as he needed to keep a steady income flow. This is the first person I've known who has died of the virus.
  13. This is one example of about four I've read about in the past few weeks. Let's just hope that while you consider the nuances of English grammar usage/application, and AustinBike reminisces of what data quantity makes a trend... You'd both be wise enough to keep your bikes safe from marauding thieves.
  14. Great post, mack_turtle... Thanks for taking the time to make it. And yeh... $20 surprised me too.
  15. Just working as a community united against a common enemy. It really isn't rocket science.
  16. Funny... I kind of thought the same thing about your original post. Just thought I'd nip it in the bud.
  17. So I've not done much with one-piece cranks and related bottom-brackets, but I've been working on a few kid's bikes that have one-piece cranks and thought I'd do a little research on what they're all about... And guess what... These cranks use wide diameter bottom brackets, and I thought that was that... But I found out that there is a converter that allows the use of regular bottom brackets... Which means, you can use different cranks... Which means... Possible weight savings and better drive. And this is good with adult bikes as well. Pretty cool. This is the adapter... https://www.harriscyclery.net/itemdetails.cfm?ID=1335
  18. And now... It seems short people got more reason to live... https://nypost.com/2020/07/28/people-over-6-feet-tall-are-more-likely-to-contract-coronavirus/
  19. Don't know why... But as I look at this I thought to myself, "...Try doing that on a motorbike...".
  20. Finally was able to find two 38t rings. Haven't come across a 40t yet... Have a few 44t rings.
  21. Yeh, same with my friend. His wife is looking after him and so far she’s fine, and his daughter who is maybe 4 or 5 is okay too.
  22. And you’re an asshole because you just choose to be one?
