Anyone else on Strava?

Not for social purposes.

Can you share more about your planned trip? How many days? Entire distance? Is your route and campsites already planned out or are you roughing it and just planting yourself wherever you end up at the day of riding?

I think my days of decent distance are long behind me. At my best I could only do 40 miles in the mountains of Western NC(mountainbiking). Now that I live in coastal VA, the lack of accessibility to decent singletrack forces me to ride on pavement, which I loathe. I'm currently doing about 17 to 20 miles a day but any more than that and my physical limitations show themselves and it can ruin entire days after the ride. Also, since I don't enjoy riding pavement, it's not really a type of ride that makes you want to push through your limitations.

 

Raked chop, shaved drip rails, split safari windshield, suicide doors and I'm sure a lot more that can't be seen.

Is there a reason why you didn't continue your last long post? Is there a benefit to wiping those conversations from your OP repeatedly?

I'd rather accept God's existence than listen to that entire video.

When I had this issue, clearing all the domain's cookies resolved my issue but I think a private browser session would do the same, so I don't think it's a very helpful suggestion in your case, unfortunately.

Wow, what a fantastic channel, thanks for sharing!

I've not seen any other photos of this particular setup but I would assume via a ramp like modern carriers of the same type do.

Let's help people remember her Muslim identity then, I'll start:

According to your tale, this old boss has some serious connections if inquiries 50 years later are still being directed to him and he called your dad back instead of a law enforcement official that should have been the one returning the call. 50 years later, they can still squash any attempts to turn up the soil.

I know what I'd do, anonymously send a package to the law enforcement agency and then nothing more. There's absolutely no way I'd risk the safety of my family for a man that knew he was burying bodies and took compensation for it. It was his burden to make it right and it's another indecent thing he's doing to place this burden on you for what I am guessing he thinks is for the benefit of his mortal soul. He apparently doesn't want to risk his son's life with this task so he's reaching out to you, someone that's a bit more disposable.

You didn't kill anyone and you didn't help hide the bodies. Don't be the single person in this whole fucked up thing to get punished for it.

That would explain why Lemmy displayed it on the front page of my hot feed.

I'm not asking this facetiously but truly curious; Have you ever witnessed a single Firefox feature designed to harm your web experience? I don't mean telemetry, etc but blocking ad blockers, forcing you to view ads, etc. I've been using Firefox for over 20 years, since it was named Phoenix and can't think of a single example similar to the vein of your OP.
