    home engery monitors

    I'm at >$5 per gallon based on my "limited usage" and spent multiple hours negotiating down to $4.50. It's a long story and I won't derail things here further but these companies all completely suck.

    home engery monitors

    (Sorry to derail, I'm interested in the panel monitoring stuff too but...) Out of curiosity, what are you paying per gallon? I've had all kinds of fun arguments with my supplier about their pricing and what's shown on NYSERDA etc.

    Things that make you frown :(

    Pretty confident that it's legitimate but that's always a good idea. All of the links for payment/dispute are the correct ones for Rutgers. It's possible that the person with the plate is pulling some kind of scam which is why I want to resolve it asap with the DMV.

    Things that make you frown :(

    Another one mostly for the sake of amusement, but still pretty annoying. I received 2 parking citations in the mail from Rutgers yesterday, which I found odd because I have never parked at Rutgers in my 21 years living in the state and can't even recall the last time I was in the vicinity of...

    Motivate Yourself for 2026 Thread

    -We're doing a Hawaii trip in April and I'm going to do the climb up Haleakala with an arbitrary goal of 5 hours. Climbing on the road is probably my biggest strength on a bike so I'm looking forward to it, but this is obviously a unique thing so we'll see how it goes. -Continue getting faster...

    Formula 1 - 2025

    I'm curious to hear their explanation. It seemed like an obvious call.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Think they'll get issued at the same time as the $5k DOGE checks? Just want to be prepared for the tax implications.

    Lore cycling shoes...

    Some positive words about them here: I'm definitely not in the market for $2k custom shoes, but some of the ideas seem interesting.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    If anything, there's been a substantial increase in BS processes. Things that used to be routine have become complicated and painful. Things that could be easily handled at the "working" level (and by "working", I'm referring to experienced professionals with advanced degrees and decades of...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Yes. See also the deferred resignation program ("fork in the road") which took money from government programs to pay people not to work for ~6-9 months. Efficiency!

    The Good Deals Thread

    I like their lever shapes and power and the pricing on MT5s is a bargain, but they're definitely the most finicky brakes to set up that I've ever had. They can be tricky to bleed and get aligned so that the rotor doesn't rub.

    I cannot get over how many of these I've seen around.

    Dickerson Mine Endurance 2025

    I'll add that I witnessed the same on the short climb up to Marty's right after the start/finish. It's unacceptable in any event, but especially at a small local race. Should mention that it looked like an awesome time. Looking forward to next year!

    I've done that in the past, but just too lazy to try to get it working this year.

    Things that make you frown :(

    My experience on Tiz is definitely not better, although I think I may now have an AI girlfriend and an inside line on a locally available product that's 7x as strong as Viagra.

    E-bikes are a thing

    First time riding an ebike on trails and I really enjoyed it. The easier trails felt like car racing. Brake late, get the thing turned, back on the gas. Tons of fun. The tech is a different ballgame just being able to generate speed everywhere. A couple of pedal strokes and you can skim over all...

    Better, stronger, faster.....

    I had a bout of numbness and tingling in my extremities a few years back that my primary care physician thought was likely peripheral neuropathy. He seemed annoyingly unconcerned, as if this is just a standard thing that everyone deals with. I am biased, as the husband of a PT, but my wife put...

    NNJ Shop Recommendations?

    Looking for recommendations for a couple of shops in northern NJ/Morris County area. I'm in Randolph but would drive a bit for good service. First would be a window tint person/place? Would just be the back of my wife's Civic, nothing fancy. Also tire mounting/balancing/straightening? This...
