Watch what you throw away… there’s another way - seems like exactly the opposite of suicide.

Cymbals as several gunshots - what a crazy stretch and strange as one shot would usually be enough.

No it does not seem obvious. You’re just seeking that connection which raises concerns about you.

Tie to a dream - sounds pretty good.

Run out of steam - sometimes that happens.

Could be roped, dead in a year - make the most of it, glass half full.

Can’t say why I should stay - people move through stages in life, childhood, school,.. and reasons to prolong something wear thin

Not every mention of a difficult thing in life is about suicide or even depression. It’s a song about melancholy.

Educating. Thank you.

Perhaps I falsely believed fever is the body ramping up it’s own natural defences and was beneficial within limits.

Question: Flu has higher body temperatures (to fight infection?) but colds don’t?

I think the base is the setting for the movie An Officer and a Gentleman

Dorsal has a black tip so I assumed it was a BTS but yup, clear tiger stripes.

I think I should quit school.

Oh honey I love that for you.

Finishing their fifth soda. Pass me another soda.

Sure thing.

Kindness can and does kill.

“Hide…somewhere In the vehicle”.

It’s locked inside the vehicle.

Not sure what a spare fob with no battery locked inside a vehicle will do for you.

Hardware stores sell small empty tin paint containers and lids.

Cheap ugly soundproofing. Glue styrofoam to the inside of your door. Emphasis on ugly.

Yup, hard on the welds too. If you’re hammering anything on a bike, especially with the wheels on the ground and not in a proper stand, you don’t know what you’re doing.

Wow. You seriously don’t see how the impact from the bolt gets transmitted to the kickstand bracket, to the bottom bracket area of the frame which is in turn transmitted to the two light duty, usually low grade aluminum, wheels… all of which bends easily upon impact.

I said hand drill, not power drill. And having done it several times, yes I do “think” it will fit.

And, I didn’t say “nobody” has a clue. I did however call out advice which is dangerous, inappropriate, or unnecessary.

I know

• The bottom bracket, pedal arms and wheel are in the way, even from underneath

• even if you remove the wheel the irregular shape of the bottom half of the kickstand makes grinding difficult and will lead to skipping the disc in inexperienced hands

I’ve done this exact repair several times. You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about or how to do this repair efficiently, safely, or without risk of collateral damage.

Further, not sure where you got the dumb idea that I agree with the torch idea. If you could read I actually said it was unnecessary.

Have a great day yourself.

Generally absolutely not.

Welding shops don’t want some kid with a bike hanging around for a $10 job. But even if in your fictional world there was no bike shop within a million miles, any car mechanic would know how to twist the bolt loooooong before breaking out a welder.

Well, I work on a lot of old bikes and have never once needed an angle grinder but I’m sure you’re an expert.

Just like I’m sure

-You won’t have difficulty getting even a small grinder in that tight space

-Op, who based on the question is clearly inexperienced won’t overcut into the relatively soft and thin frame, and that kickstand area is where three structural members join (actually four members)

-Op surely has the correct cutting disc and face shield, right?

But ok, your advice to use a grinder is Aces.

No. If they are taking it anywhere take to to a bike shop who has removed a billion stuck kickstands.

Never hammer a bike frame.

In this thread: people who don’t have a clue about bicycle repair.

Hit the bolt - great way to bend a frame

Use a snipe on a socket wrench - totally unnecessary and another good way to bend or break something if trying it alone

Flame or welding - again totally unnecessary

This damage is from a cheap or under-sized hex or other improper tool wrecking the head.

I wok on a lot of bikes and a proper oversized hex socket will still fit in that head but the op may be a child without the strength to turn it.

Hand drilling it out with left thread extractors will work like charm.

Power drilling increasing size pilot holes from underneath will also work.

If op is asking how to remove this simple bolt they def don’t know how dangerous an angle grinder is in untrained hands. Pls use common sense when recommending things.

Acetone. I had no idea.

Can confirm. Put drop of superglue on denim to stop fraying. Unexpected exothermic.
