The pads need to be replaced every now and then, they're a wear and tear item. When they wear down, that makes more space between the surface of the pad and the part of the wheel they grip on, so if they're just worn down and not totally shot out yet you can tighten up the cable a bit so you get a little more purchase on the wheel. You want them as tight as possible to the wheel without touching, that way you can get as much leverage as possible from the brake handle. Does that make sense?

I've been smoking pretty much every day for 15 years and this is the first I've heard of people putting doobies in the microwave.

Does she have framed pictures of the pope? My gmom had multiple pope pics.

Augustus Busch (Busch brewing) was implicated in the deaths of two women and got away with it. One DUI car crash where he fled the scene and left a critically injured woman in the car, one overdose in his apartment.

Just leave! If it sucks, hit da bricks.

Turn down the TV, I can't taste my ice cream!

GLASS BREAKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

I grunt, roll over, and flip the switch arming the laser tripwires and pressure plates connected to the strategically placed IEDs throughout the house. Roll back over, mutter to myself "I'll clean it up in the morning," and go back to sleep.

Anybody else think it's kinda weird that Finland still used the swastika until 2020? I wonder why that is.
