Wasn't Josef Mengele also rumored to have escaped to Argentina? I seem to recall there's a town with an awfully high rate of twin births, which was a fascination of his when working in the camps.The Education Ministry of the right wing party Cambiemos in our local capital district went to the school where Priebke was the principal

Yup, there were a lot of high ranked Nazis who fled to Argentina. The local rumors state they disembarked from a u-boot near Peninsula Valdez and sunk it there afterwards.
Why all the way down there?
So this supposedly being other than U-977 or U-530...

It's seemingly getting to the point at which 40% of the posts on this forum are links to Twitter, generally without a synopsis. I guess I'll remain happily ignorant.

Weather Barbie on Denver CBS evening news has plastic surgery which gets worse every week and scares me.
I didn't realize this was such a big problem.

Windows key + arrows is another most don't know about. But when they do...
Oooh, that is quite handy, took me a bit to work out what was going on as I had two browsers with similar pages open.I didn't realize this was such a big problem.

Shift+Backspace was another I found by accident, I should just print out a list so I actually use some shortcuts.
Glad I couldn't get a Gigaset phone direct from their store, turns out they miss a frequency that I need, went a HTC something something instead.
I agree, jank you!
I'd listen to Rebecca Black over the Dave Matthews Band.

A coworker decided to get into mountain biking and for a first bike bought a 2019 transition patrol. Am I wrong in thinking an extremely capable enduro bike is a bad bike to learn on? It seems like it will cover your ass when making a mistake until you go big enough and it doesn't.
What's the point of advancing technology and equipment if you can't take advantage of it?
IDGAF what people want to ride or can ride if it means getting into the sport. Just stay the fuck out of my way if you suck.
I am not questioning it because I think someone needs to pay their dues with a fully rigid singlespeed first. I just question if it is the best way to learn. I didn't ride a hardtail for close to 15 years. I picked one up earlier in the year and I feel like it made me a better rider as a big full suspension bike allowed me to get away with poor form.
A few weeks ago Splat posted a picture of a friend landing something with his suspension completely bottomed out, with his arms and knees perfectly straight and locked.
I think where you ride makes a lot more impact on learning than what you ride. I've always ridden full suspension since my first real bike 25 years ago, but I've also been riding very rocky and rootu technical trails since then too. As a result I feel like I can ride most anything on virtually any bike you put me on to a degree.
A high-end bike can make things easier or compensate for a lot of mistakes, but terrain that requires bike handling, balance and technical skills will make you a much better rider than any bike could.

Did he buy the obligatory $500 protection kit?
We saw this all summer, people on bikes that would shame a dentist, suited up with armor and full face and riding like they've never own a bicycle.
He got it because his 5 year old son saw a Danny McCaskill video and wanted to try that. So he used that as excuse to get himself and his son some bikes.
He has only gone to a local place called Duthie hill which has a great setup for people with kids. Pump track and beginner skill features in the middle with a few fun short XC loops and jump lines. I have offered to introduce him to more adult oriented stuff when he is ready.
I saw a lot of people dust off old Klein Mantras and head up to trails they had no business trying to ride. But on a good note I saw this small group of Mexican kids riding some garbage Walmart bikes at the beginning of the summer on some of the easier trails. Later in the summer I saw them on what seemed to be smartly purchased used bikes on some proper trails and doing a fine job of it.
Switching back and forth between bikes teaches one more than staying on one bike... same as going car/motorcycle/bicycle, each teaches something about the other.
and suspensions are not overrated. My body is feeling the fully rigid pains.
The Star Spangled Banner at the Mecum Auto Auction, interesting.
