I hate

That's good to know.

Always bugs me that it's so rare.

Yeah I’ve never got this. What’s wrong with just using length in cm to describe size?

Like some kind of filthy European?

Yeah, like they do in Japan

Fun fact, Americano is named because American GI’s stationed in Italy during WWII would ask for water to be added to their espressos to make it like the filter coffee they were used to.

I have 47 European foot unit size feet, but I have no idea 47 of what.

UK12, I assumed the archaic, imperial measurements of length, with 1 being equal to 2.54cm

Amen to leaf blower hate. Inevitably they're used in windy conditions too... the futility is maddening.

That's like page one in the gentrified living handbook.

The UK shoe size unit is based on the Barleycorn, I shit you not.

Shitty octalink cranks. Old mtb had been assembled almost dry, ridden in the wet and never cleaned. Stripped all the threads trying to pull the cranks, attempted to use a gear puller, which just left a huge dent in the drift.
Resorted to hacksaw and dremel.

Judicious use of a hammer also.

People equating poor installation and maintenance with poor product.

You must be fun at parties.

Its all about leaf vacs now - sucks and chops them up in to a big bag over the shoulder.

Dry your eyes.

But how? There's no shimano manual for it.

I tend to use the lawnmower to collect up the leaves.

Pfft - we have one of these bad boys - it's flipping ace.

You win

Put your back into it, weaklings.

The noise long nails make on touchscreens.

I saw a guy raking leaves at a church yesterday. I wanted to high 5 him until I watched him put them into a blue paper recycling wheelie bin, leaving me feeling conflicted.
