    I have one of these bikes which has been great as a commuter / trails bike -- it's not as fast as something with drop bars or as bouncy as a dual suspension bike would be but it's fast enough to keep up on bike paths, and tough enough to take up/down mountain bike trails, just not off big drops or anything.

    Not sure what "break the bank" means but there's a lot of bikes roughly like that that should work (assuming that when you say 'rail tie commuter' you don't mean literally riding over a bunch of rail ties?), so at this point it's a matter of going to local shops to find out which shop you like the feel of, all the main manufacturers have equivalent sorts of bike. (assuming that they're are actually available to buy again and the general out-of-stock-ness of last year has improved).

    I mean literally riding down the middle of a train track or on a trail in the gravel on the side.
    That's a good looking bike, I'll keep my eye out for one, but definitely more money than I was looking to spend atm. I'm also thinking I'll get a single speed because it's flat, maybe some kind of dirt jumper.

    Hello everyone,

    I figured I would try here because I just can't find the solution and it's beyond my abilities to figure out.

    If I turn on my desktop, I get an error that the boot drive isn't found, please restart and go into bios or insert a usb boot drive.
    I can restart it and go into bios, sometimes it shows my drives and sometimes it doesn't (I have a 1tb m.2 with the boot on it, as well as a 4tb hard drive). But even without changing anything, if I exit the bios and restart the pc, it magically finds the boot drive and loads up windows no problem.

    I eventually figured out that if I turn on the pc, get to the error "Can't find the boot drive" screen, and then just leave my pc turned on for 20-30 seconds before restarting it, it somehow manages to find the boot drive and loads into windows no problem.

    Now that I know I just have to wait a bit before restarting it, it's not as annoying, but it is still quite annoying. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know, I would appreciate it <3

    The system:
    Intel I7-9700k
    msi RTX 3070ti
    Asus Z390-E mobo
    4x8 gb corsair ram
    Seasonic 80+ gold 750 psu
    Windows 10 home

    The only thing that's been changed from default in the BIOS was enabling XMPI, but I had this problem before doing that as well

    Thanks <3

    Oh hey,

    open cmd in admin and give me the output of
    bcdedit /enum
    
    this normally happens when the device is trying to boot off a corrupt hibernation file or there is junk data in your BCD.

    If the BCD looks correct I'd try clearing your hiberfile; once again in cmd with admin
    powercfg /h
    
    - reboot (to be thorough use
    shutdown -r -t 0
    
    . if you want your hibernation back just run the command again after you reboot. If these things don't work the above post about a failing drive is most likely the culprit.

    So when I made this post, I had been having this trouble every single time I turned on my computer for over two weeks.

    The day after I made this post, it booted normally and I haven't had the problem since, because karma/life just loves making me feel embarrassed.

    Oof, I feel like I'd only be comfortable doing that with a fat bike or a full suspension mountain bike. I tried my 650b gravel bike on a ranch road with a big mix of rock sizes and it was not up to the task comfort wise, and I imagine riding across railroad ties would get rough quickly, unless it's been filled in with dirt.

    they're filled with gravel inbetween

    But good point, generally speaking a gravel bike should work.

    Was out of state and borrowed a friend's bike to do a casual afternoon 40 (we stopped at a beer garden in the middle, A+, always the best way to ride). Anyway that thing was a BEAST, it was some kind of hybrid situation with pretty wide tires. Lots of road friction, so speed on the downhills seemed underwhelming, but it could take hills like nobody's business.

    Been a long time since I didn't have dropped handlebars though. This whole wide high steering situation seems precarious I must say.

    Tires are actually the biggest thing for absorbing gravel stuff, so really any "endurance" or "cyclocross" bike will be fine with a bigger set of tires. Or if it's really nasty, a hardtail mountain bike with skinnier tires. Just make sure it's 700c/29" wheels as that's going to roll a lot smoother than 650b
    Also, there are a metric shit ton of bikes with track style dropouts, they're just usually smaller makers.

    It's not my common understanding that the reduced rollover bumping of the 700c will be smoother overall than the benefit of 650b with bigger tires at lower psi. But I suppose getting some 44 cm tires on a 700 or 50cm tires on a 650b would both be pretty high on tire suspension and may both be good options.

    Yeah, but then you need that super wide fork so you can fit those big tires in there. My road bike can barely fit anything that's not a thin roadie tire.

    I swapped my road bike's tires for 33s (the biggest they can fit) for Rapha's A Day in Hell earlier this year and there was basically the clearance of one wafer-thin mint only

    It worked great for the ride

    Then of course the tires were impossible to remove from my tubeless-ready wheels and I felt like a failure

    Getting tires off is 100% the worst. Even worse in MTB for tubeless when you have to deal with tubeless gunk and the extra stiff beads.

    I've had very good luck with the past few generations. With Sword/Shield I was even able to avoid knowing any of the starter evolutions, and any new Pokemon revealed after Rolycoly was. That being said, this will probably be the last time I check this thread until game launch.

    I have the Eufy doorbell cam and like it. I like on-prem/ no sub data and the app lets me check in on the video pretty easy. As far as I know, they do have cams with solar built in. Eventually I’m looking to add in a solar outdoor cam for the back door/carport. But I’ve only done superficial research.

    I didn’t have much expectation for the app, but it does what I need it to do. Bonus for checking up on the cat sitters while out of state on vacation. Also, I could startle my mom when she comes over to work in the yard with via the doorbell cam audio.

    So quick rundown.

    I have Walmart Family Mobile which uses T-mobile. I have had this for years. The problem started about 6 months ago.

    I call my folks and it rings 2x then hangs up.

    Their home phone is through AT&T.

    I logged into their account via website. There are no blocked numbers. I went over to their house. I checked their home phone and deleted all blocked numbers,there were some now it is blank.

    Still, I call, it rings 2x and hangs up. I did a chat with at&t and told them about it they said they'd submit my number to be removed from a blacklist which they didn't know if I was on or not.

    Problem still persists.

    I called my cousin and found out it does the same thing when I call him. He also uses AT&T which I find suspicious yet AT&t says its not them.

    Any advice?
