Define quickly? Is there data showing that waxed chains last X% longer? And what is the net present value of the time needed to maintain a waxed chain? I suspect it is cheaper to replace the chain slightly more often using “good enough” procedures than to obsess about it and spend more time doing a “better” procedure.

Maybe I don’t do enough? I tried degreasing my chain in jars and with one of those chain cleaner things and saw no benefit but lots of extra work and mess.

Now I never degrease. Add lube to chain on the bike, several rotations to work it in, several rotations through a rag to clean it off. Takes three minutes and I do that monthly for the road bike, weekly for MTB, and after cleaning the bike. I never have to take the chain off until I replace it.

I use wet lube on the MTB and rock n roll extra dry on road bike.

There are books I started and did not finish that I do not remember. However, there a few that I finished but hated. The worst was:

Reverie - this was a lgbt book club thing in Libby. The protagonist was a whiny incapable teen that never redeemed themself. I kept thinking it would get better and it never did. Things resolved because magic, so poor/lazy writing.

Good thing I have 72 hour deodorant!

I thought libertarians were cool. Then I learned about the “fiscally conservative “ parts.

Doom had a great mod community, and Simpsons Doom was my favorite mod.

I’m not 50 something, but I got some of these games from a 50 something.

Sorry, I meant Red Alert.

Command & Conquer, Tie Fighter, Simpsons Doom, Quake, Portal, and DDR.

Warcraft 2 and Starcraft 1!

We could clearly see the green and red with naked eye, they’re just a bit more vivid on camera.

Edit: I messed up my markup for the pic, this was in Duluth.

That doesn’t matter in the US election system. You’re going to get Kamala or Trump, so pick the one that is more tolerable to you.
