In 2003 I was riding home from work with my homebrew lighting system
that used two 14 watt 12V sealed beam halogen lamps and a kid called
out "nice lights." Does that count as "congratulations?" It was
unsolicited praise. These days good lights are so common that no one
would think to praise a cyclists using them.

I guess that I should also point out that besides probably 25% of the
personally owned dyno lighting systems in my city being in my own
garage, my city also probably has the most dyno equipped bicycles per
capita of any city in the United States; this is due to the bicycles
owned by a very large fruit company with its world headquarters in my city.

So, have you stripped your websites of all your previous disparagement
of dyno lighting and its users?

Why would he do that?

If a person spends ten years or more implying that dyno users are fools,
ISTM he should say _something_ when he begins using a dyno.


Dyno lights suck compared to decent LED battery lights except for the fact that you don't have to recharge them. I regard my dyno light as a novelty item or a back-up. But I must say that the dyno was almost acceptable on Monday when riding home on a rare dry night -- on a flattish part of my route. I thought "this is what it must be like for Frank." And then I started up the broken-up goat road and turned on my battery light. https://tinyurl.com/v8mod75 And yes, low tree branches are a thing. https://tinyurl.com/tblfewk

But you don't want to trade for a brighter-than-the-sun Oculus??

I already have a battery light -- in fact, three battery lights. I don't need four. And after drilling and tapping my thick-as-a-brick fork crown, I'm going to use the Luxos even if the light sucks -- sort of like a glowing hood ornament. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/30...19a3721acc.jpg

Has your education fallen to such a low that you're now quoting radio hosts? Tell you what - should I quote Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage or would you prefer Ben Shapiro who would probably make a marvelous President though people like you do not vote for Jews.

I vote for Sean Hannity. He goes for the jugular, every time. -- AJ

Don't you think you're taking a chance in the extreme left wing communist inspired people on this group? Jay has a career as one of the great capitalists in this country and will STILL mouth communist homilies as often as he can fit them in.

No matter how often the failures of the leftist policies of Democrats he continues to think, "next time it will work."

The estimate of the numbers of people that Stalin murdered for not wanting totalitarianism is 20 million. To listen to the Democrats they seem to think that an acceptable number here.

Mao's "cultural revolution" immediately murdered about 3 million. However, those were the 3 million who knew how to run the country - farmers, etc. and that was followed by a great famine that killed another 40 million.

It is not possible to have a "democratic socialism" because people will not willingly give up their money, their incomes and their businesses so the government takes it by force of arms. The trouble is as Frank fears most - the "gun nuts FAR outnumber any government bent on a dictatorship and they would wipe out a socialist government down to the last living being. Unlike Russia or China or Venezuela, the military would NOT side with the government for a full bowl of rice. They obey the Constitution and would NOT interfere in a war between the population of this country and a government bent on socialism.

This makes Frank feel awful and that is why he is so anti-gun.


Ah but you already are we4ll on the way on the road to socialism there
in the U.S. aren't you.

In 2012, roughly one-fifth of the U.S. population, or 52.2 million
people, received some kind of means-tested public assistance every
month. About 15% of the population was receiving Medicaid and 13% were
on food stamps and 1% were getting cash benefits through TANF or
General Assistance.

In addition
In 2012, an average of 41.6% of African Americans received
means-tested benefits each month. About 18% of Asians or Pacific
Islanders and 13% of whites received benefits each month. Thirty-six
percent of Hispanics of any race received government assistance.

Another study showed that
109,631,000 are stated by the Census Bureau as the number of Americans
receiving benefits from means-tested federal programs.
and
the Bureau of Labor Statistics figure for full-time workers
105,862,000 for 2013.

Agreed, 2012 sucked. One might suggest that establishment
politicians were all, each and in the whole, of both major
filthy parties, inadequate to reverse those trends.

Hence our glorious day 8 November, 2016 when USAians had
simply had enough and took a giant leap of faith (or perhaps
desperation) into the unknown. Which worked out marvelously
only because there was no other way:
