I had one of these until very recently, a first generation CADEX frame (1987, so now a good 35 years old), still as good as new, it went to Germany and is now plying the streets of Berlin.

Unless you smash them up just keep them clean and they seem to last quite long, at least as long as comparable steel or aluminum frames.

The weak points are where aluminum is bonded to the carbon, those spots you need to monitor and if there is any damage at all you should count the frame as lost.

When I raced mountain bikes I always found the feel of aluminium frames to deaden after a few years. They would be super responsive at first and then slowly lose that snappiness and with it trail feel as the years went by.

Who's paying for the transition? The customer or Tesla?

Funny this got downvoted. Was this comment controversial in any way?

rorykoehler · 4 years ago

You get downvoted because the question is redundant. It's like asking who is paying for the next gen iPhone or whatever. You buy the product as is and when a new better generation of the same product comes out you don't get a free upgrade because you bought the old version.

These officers faced BLM hostility on the left, as well as violence against them and accusations of being traitors from the right.

The public that they're supposed to serve was spitting on them and demonizing them from both sides.

Add a pandemic to the mix, and anybody's mental health would be flatlining. Suicide among some of them is tragic but not surprising.

I don't know how effective counseling services are, but if they do anything, they should be made available to the Jan 6 officers.

If anybody reading this is in a dark spot, the suicide lifeline is 800-273-8255, and it's available 24/7.

It pretty obvious police protect capital not people. Sure many of the police officers didn't realise this until it was too late and they had committed but I think that would have a bigger detriment on their mental health than being vilified by fringe groups.

So yes and no. Those companies that are willing to allow remote work have basically increased their talent pool significantly.

The best and brightest won't need to make the god awful commute to a shitty job, where the managers don't respect the employee's life.

rorykoehler · 4 years ago

I’m not sure this applies to companies like Apple. Plenty of people will jump at the chance to replace those who quit Apple over a wfh stalemate. If you don’t have Faang on your cv you’d be foolish not to bite the commute bullet and take the role.
