Also “she gave me her number.” And? Did you call her?

No, if you fall off the rollers, your wheels just stop. Bicycle wheels don’t have anywhere near enough mass for their momentum alone to move your body.
Actually, the gyroscopic effect (specifically precession) has more to do with making the steering go the right way than keeping the bike upright directly.
Gyroscopic effect is not even significant. Lock your steering and you will fall over no matter how fast your wheels are spinning. (Which can happen with a badly pitted headset)
I wouldn’t say easy… But yeah, you don’t just fall over.
It’s not that. Gyroscopic action exists of course, but it’s fairly weak against the weight of your body. Balancing a bicycle is just like balancing an umbrella on your finger, except you can easily move your finger any direction you need. To move the bicycle sideways, you need to already be moving forward.
I have memories of being 12-13 years old and my sister (3 years older) and I having to push-start our mom’s Renault LeCar…
Tomato, tomato…
Pot, kettle…
Whoa… Bad choice of words…
Or great, depends on what you were going for…
If you want to confuse people… I pronounce /etc as “ets”, but one of my coworkers recently called it “slash e t c” and I had to ask him to repeat it a couple times before I figured out what he meant…
Have you ever tried catching flies? Vinegar works better than honey, after all, flies eat shit.
The hell I would…
Having worked both retail and call center, no, they’re not in the same league. People can be assholes over the phone, absolutely, but it’s quite different from face-to-face. Someone threatens to kill me over the phone, I can say “I’d like to see you try” and hang up, and the worst that happens is I get fired. In person, they can carry out the threat.
It’s nice when you have a boss that has your back. I worked at RadioShack back in the day, and the manager of the store I stayed at the longest was like that. Of course we didn’t have the whole x items or less, but we were in a busy college area, only on-street parking, so we’d get people running in and wanting to be served immediately regardless of how busy we were because they were double parked. The boss empowered us to tell them to fuck off, politely of course. “Come back when you have more time, we’ll be happy to help”. Also, we were next to a parking lot, it wasn’t ours, though we did have a couple of spots that were clearly marked employee parking only. Few things gave the boss more pleasure than calling a tow truck… Literally rubbing his hands with glee on multiple occasions.
I never worked food service, but I did my time in retail… That “Well we’re here now” just gave me a PTSD-like flashback…
Just to be the man who died 12000 times to … rise up at your door? Bbbrains…
Holy poeslaw Batman!
My ads aren’t targeted, at least I don’t think they are… I honestly don’t notice what they are for most of the time, so that’s a failure right there, they’re not memorable - but when I do notice, they’re for either trump or sports betting, two things which I have negative interest in…
Don’t be silly, there are no women on the internet.
