| cmaloney | morning | 13:51 |
| brousch | indeed | 14:07 |
| cmaloney | \m/ | 14:28 |
| waldo323 | cheers | 14:47 |
| jrwren | Good morning. | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | waldo323: Hey, long time no see! :) | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | (in IRC that is) | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Finally got JoDee's phone back from LG | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | glad they fixed it, but a little upset those fsckers stole the original box I shipped it in. | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | since it had the lovely little sim removal tool. :( | 16:04 |
| waldo323 | cmaloney, good to be back. tough lesson regarding the phone, typically I'll only send the phone and any specified parts otherwise I hold on to them | 16:06 |
| jrwren | ya know... that is a good point. I sometimes save original boxes for that purpose, but i've never had one returned to me. They won't save it and return it to you. | 16:07 |
| mrgoodcat | seem sort of silly tbh | 16:10 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm almost surprised they don't send it back in the normal packaging anyways | 16:10 |
| mrgoodcat | since its like purpose built to protect the phone in shipping | 16:10 |
| cmaloney | Probably because it's fedex and they pay by the mm or some shit | 16:11 |
| mrgoodcat | haha | 16:11 |
| mrgoodcat | i hate fedex | 16:11 |
| mrgoodcat | it actually prevents me from using certain online stores | 16:11 |
| mrgoodcat | i'll do just about anything to use ups instead | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, no kidding | 16:12 |
| mrgoodcat | ups has a key to my apartment building. fedex does not. also i've now had twice where i stayed home to receive a package from fedex and it was marked as "unable to deliver, recipient not home" with no door tag left | 16:12 |
| mrgoodcat | which is just downright unacceptable | 16:13 |
| cmaloney | The delivery dude knocked and was literally holding the "sucks to be you" tag, ready to affix on the door | 16:13 |
| cmaloney | Sorry bud, but that is not an atomic operation | 16:13 |
| mrgoodcat | i wouldn't mind if that was the case so much. i understand the dudes in a hurry i guess. but i mean i was home and nobody ever knocked or buzzed and there was no door tag left | 16:13 |
| mrgoodcat | they simply didn't come | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | and then he hands me a pen to write on their device to sign | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | so I likely scratched it. | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: I really hate that mentality | 16:14 |
| mrgoodcat | i've read online that the drivers will mark deliveries as unsuccessful if they're running behind because then they aren't held accountable for the late delivery | 16:14 |
| mrgoodcat | because they're penalized for not delivering their quota | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | But yeah, I've had instances where fedex was "unable to deliver" when they barely made any ripples near the porch | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | I'm still al little salty about the CD that Amazon sent that somehow got lost in Romulus | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | I hope you enjoy Revocation, ya bastards | 16:15 |
| mrgoodcat | fedex takes a coveted spot above comcast and verizon for "most hated company" in my house | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | I think DHL is somewhere in that mix | 16:16 |
| mrgoodcat | ah i've not had too much experience with dhl | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | That's in part because they're the one company that sucks worse than Fed Ex | 16:16 |
| mrgoodcat | haha | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | FedEx is great for businesses because they make packages disappear better than anyone | 16:17 |
| cmaloney | DHL is just a burden on both sides of that transaction | 16:17 |
| cmaloney | So I understand why FedEx gets used a lot, but they're a pain for anyone that isn't a business. | 16:17 |
| mrgoodcat | amazon uses ups at least for my address so that's 99% of my online spending covered | 16:18 |
| mrgoodcat | and ups can deliver to my apartment when i'm not home so i don't have to stay home for a day | 16:18 |
| jrwren | i get lots of USPS from amazon now. | 16:23 |
| cmaloney | I <3 usps when they don't completely fuck up | 16:33 |
| cmaloney | eg: send a priority-mail package to Florida instead of Texas | 16:34 |
| cmaloney | I can understand why though: they totally look the same. ;) | 16:34 |
| cmaloney | Got my first consulting check today. W00t! | 17:37 |
| cmaloney | I'm no longer a complete burden to society! | 17:37 |
| cmaloney | \o/ | 17:37 |
| _stink_ | o/o/ | 17:49 |
| mrgoodcat | |m|/ | 18:19 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h: oh i missed your response (even though it was only like 2 minutes after my question). thanks for letting me know. i'm currently going through the process of agonizing over bike choices :) | 19:16 |
| mrgoodcat | ideally i'd be going for a short travel FS carbon 1x or possibly 2x with components taht aren't too garbage | 19:17 |
| mrgoodcat | like SRAM GX or Shimano SLX or better | 19:17 |
| mrgoodcat | i'll probably have to compromise to stay within budget though | 19:18 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: always happy to chat bikes. Yea I just got my Ibis mojo 3, 1x eagle | 19:22 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: but yea, eagle gx is good stuff in the more entry bikes | 19:23 |
| rick_h | mrgoodcat: what are you looking at? Giant has some good budget offerings. | 19:23 |
| rick_h | Good price to perf, diamondback has a new one that's carbon as well. | 19:23 |
| mrgoodcat | yea diamondback has some really good deals | 19:24 |
| mrgoodcat | i get a corporate discount on their website too | 19:24 |
| mrgoodcat | varies bike to bike but the overdrive carbon pro 29er is only 1904 after the discount | 19:24 |
| rick_h | Nice, they've got a build a bike thing on their site which is cool | 19:24 |
| rick_h | I was thinking release 3? I'd have to look. | 19:25 |
| mrgoodcat | i've also got a line on a 20% discount at ACF (which means trek) | 19:25 |
| rick_h | Cool | 19:25 |
| mrgoodcat | yea the release is their FS that i was looking at | 19:25 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm a bit torn between FS and hardtail at the moment | 19:25 |
| mrgoodcat | I think i've pretty much come to grips with the fact that my budget will probably dictate an aluminum bike if i go FS | 19:26 |
| rick_h | So I've been on hardtail for 2years and fs for a month, FS feels better downhill but that's about it. | 19:26 |
| rick_h | On anbig down hill I can do it faster. | 19:26 |
| mrgoodcat | yea i've been on both. learned on a HT diamondback, switched to a trek FS, now i'm on a norco revolver HT | 19:26 |
| rick_h | But it's not like "I couldn't do that before I had a FS" | 19:26 |
| rick_h | Gotcha | 19:27 |
| mrgoodcat | actually my bike is still a trek | 19:27 |
| mrgoodcat | but its taken apart | 19:27 |
| rick_h | Hah | 19:27 |
| mrgoodcat | and i've been riding the norco | 19:27 |
| mrgoodcat | which is my dads | 19:27 |
| rick_h | Ibe got some spare parts if you want. Carbon bar, xt brakes, etc. Been hacking on things. | 19:28 |
| mrgoodcat | current frontrunners are trek procaliber 9.8 (carbon ht), trek top fuel 8 (aluminum FS), diamondback overdrive pro carbon (carbon HT) | 19:28 |
| mrgoodcat | did you get the carbon bar for the weight reduction or do you notice its any more comfortable to ride? i've only used aluminum bars | 19:29 |
| mrgoodcat | i know a lot of people say the carbon bars have more flex though which can reduce hand fatigue | 19:29 |
| rick_h | Yea I got it for width and testing how it felt different | 19:31 |
| rick_h | My ibis came with an I is bar but I've bought my own before so not using the Ibis carbon | 19:32 |
| mrgoodcat | got it | 19:33 |
| rick_h | I like how it feels but with grips and gloves can't tell a ton | 19:33 |
| mrgoodcat | the mojo 3 is a 27.5? | 19:33 |
| rick_h | 27.5+ | 19:33 |
| rick_h | I've got minion 2.8s on there | 19:34 |
| mrgoodcat | oh man i was looking at plus bikes | 19:34 |
| mrgoodcat | they look so fun | 19:34 |
| rick_h | Yea, with my weight and around here I wanted to go plus | 19:34 |
| rick_h | So I looked at all of them | 19:34 |
| rick_h | Really really happy with it so far | 19:35 |
| mrgoodcat | glad to hear | 19:36 |
| rick_h | Grip has been great in leafy covered stuff the last month | 19:40 |
| mrgoodcat | yea the wide tires have crazy grip | 19:41 |
| mrgoodcat | the only thing i've heard is that plus tires can get slippery in mud really quick | 19:41 |
| mrgoodcat | but that's fine since i usually try not to bike in the mud too often | 19:42 |
| rick_h | Yea not looking to shower off in the cold before going in the house. | 19:50 |
| brousch | cmaloney: Congrats! Who are you consulting with? | 20:30 |
| cmaloney | A friend's company | 20:30 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: what's this? | 20:30 |
| cmaloney | not sure how much I can reveal at the moment. :) | 20:30 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: I got paid today. :) | 20:31 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: woot woot | 20:31 |
| * cmaloney is not a freeloader. :) | 20:31 | |
| brousch | Is it for development? | 20:31 |
| cmaloney | brousch: Yeah | 20:31 |
| cmaloney | and interesting development at that | 20:31 |
| brousch | That's good enough to satisfy me | 20:31 |
| mrgoodcat | congrats! | 20:33 |
| cmaloney | Thanks! | 20:33 |
| cmaloney | If anything this has taught me that I need more sources of income | 20:33 |
| * cmaloney starts planning out Typing Monkey Omnimedia | 20:33 | |
| cmaloney | ;) | 20:33 |
