They had a bit in a recent live show with her about it being her last appearance on the show, but I'm not sure how serious it was, can't imagine she won't come back for something union-related in the future.
Chris is the producer who chimes in now, Brandon might be from that podcast E1?
Look at their new Director of Policy, it's not about misinformation. Don't know this website but there's other sources too.
Not exactly the same, but I did once buy rainbow-reflective vinyl adhesive sheets and put them on the bottom of a board. The effect is great, but doing boardslides will shred it immediately, since it's just vinyl. Holding up well almost two year later, although the owner isn't even doing nose stalls with it as far as I know, just cruising around and doing some ollies.
You could probably put a clear varnish coat over it to protect it a little, but I haven't tried that myself.
If you can get it printed on adhesive vinyl, you can definitely do it. Just buy a blank deck for like $30, or a Mini-Logo one since they're about the same price.
I don't know longboards well, but usually just build standard ~31" boards with longboard wheels and risers, they're basically the same thing but easier to maneuver on tighter streets. Cheaper too, and lighter, especially since lightweight longboard trucks are more expensive than Mag Lights, which are about as light as you can go for skateboard trucks.
I would recommend finding heavyweight cotton shirts, they're often sold as workwear but they're just plain shirts with thicker material. I found the Dickies and Gildan ones pretty solid but a ton of places make em.
Discovered them incidentally in a quest to avoid constantly putting holes in them at work, but they do help hide a couple pounds much better than regular shirts (and also prevent showing nips through if that's a problem for you).
Surprisingly, it doesn't actually get intense until the parking garage chase about 2/3 of the way through, but there's a bit after that where at least one car is drifting on screen for ~3mins straight, so it's more of an endurance race really.
It's kind of weird, only the odd-numbered ones are actually good, but they all get worse by equivalent amounts as the series goes on.
Obviously 1, 3, and 5 are amazing in descending order, and 7 is pretty solid.
2 is the best of the even-numbered duds since they jump a car onto a boat at the end and Ludacris is in it, and but there's still an equivalent quality backslide from that point through 4, 6, and 8 despite all of them being worse than all the ones in between.
I need to watch all of them again in order to confirm this, but since I always watch them now while playing a drinking game that involves drinking continuously for the entire duration of any drift, I'll probably be too fucked up after Tokyo Drift to make an objective judgement.
For chain locks (the kind with a metal chain with a nylon sheath and a separate lock), just keep the lock away from moisture at all costs to avoid freezing. The delivery-guy method of wrapping the lock in a plastic bag is surprisingly effective. If it does freeze, percussive maintenance usually does the trick to get it unstuck.
Get a single speed, avoid hi-tensile steel and get chromoly steel or aluminum. Get a new one online to save money, especially if you're kind of handy, but if you want used buy local since it's easy to find someone who just wants to move their bike at any price.
You probably need to toe-in your brakes to stop the squeaking, there's a ton of videos online that show how to do it. All it takes is an Allen key and like 5 minutes usually, definitely worth it.
Thermal long underwear under your pants, waterproof shoes and rain paints (and/or fenders) if it's snowy, one less layer than you'd normally wear for the temp on top while you're riding, bandana over the face so you can still breathe easily but stay warm, warm gloves. Once you get below 20°F you might want ski goggles too. Be careful if it's snowing, especially when braking, and watch out for ice. Winter biking really isn't as bad as you think, the real challenge is managing your layers and remembering to bring extra just in case.
Pretty sure this is the original :cat-vibing:
That isn't what actual socialists are proposing, though you could probably characterize the vaguely social democratic reforms that someone like Bernie is proposing that way. The two are often conflated in the media which can be a bit confusing for newcomers.
I'd just read this to get a better idea, it's pretty succinct (feel free to skip the introductions). Better that that getting it third-hand from some guy on the internet anyway.
I can't imagine they have bulletproof security or anything, but any of the Kobo e-readers are easy to load up with PDFs/epubs on your own via USB.
Lighting night to read realistically as night to viewers is still really expensive, and cameras getting better light sensitivity or using high speed lenses won't change that unfortunately.
Lights getting cheaper and smaller has helped a bit, but you're going to see it in low budget shows that can't afford lifts until they figure out another way to get 200+ lbs of lights 80ft in the air.
Chain and padlock is definitely the cheapest option, the local dollar store might even have one pre-wrapped and sold for bikes specifically so it won't scratch your frame. Mine does for ~$15.
They're harder than U-Locks to cut through anyway because they're hard to hold still for the angle grinder, just make sure you use one that's thick enough.
I use a motorcycle chain that I found abandoned and a truck padlock, never had a problem in 4 years. It's heavy though, at least 10lbs.
Yeah camping is great! Been getting into it again in the last year after maybe 10 years off. Going beach camping soon for the first time if anyone's got any tips for that.
Been mostly car camping since it's easier to introduce people to that than freeze-dried food and hauling everything up a mountain. It's mostly been a success other than finding a tick on the gooch one time.
