Lol...from the guy that thinks:
- you can ride a dent out of a top tube
- "light lines" is a common term for fiber optic communication cables
- PWM is used to test cables
- campagnolo makes special pre-stretched shifter cables
- Your knees interfere with downtube shifters
- everyone needs to look down to shift downtube shifters
- everyone accelerates from a stop at full power
- trump saved the obama economy
- aluminum oxide is flammable
- A metric screw with a 4mm drive means it's a 4mm screw
- the covid vaccines have killed more people than the virus

That's just off the top of my head, the list goes on and on!
