Wait, I just realized that I don't need anything special, but those nubs are painted over screws are where it's supposed to be mounted. Only thing is, I took the paint off and there is just no screw head. Not even a stripped one. What am I supposed to do now?

you want to cut a slot in the bolt for a flathead screwdriver.
You can do this with a hacksaw (best method if it's physically possible, may have to use a keyhole hacksaw or just grip the bare blade with some gloves), a dremel with a cutting wheel, or hammering the slot with a junk chisel.

It looks like it is just protruding enough on the driveside to do that, and you can go from the other end on the NDS which has a long area. That one you might even be able to just grip with pliers and turn out. Waterpump pliers would be best. Consider masking off the paint around the area just so you don't slip and scratch it. Try to get some penetrating liquid (even wd40 or crc) in the threads before you do it.

People are going to say you could drill them out but it's easier said than done. Unless you have a drill press and experience doing such things, I wouldn't risk damaging your frame.

also worth considering, why are they like that. It's possible some autist just wanted to delete the rack mounts when he repainted to make it seem racier. The ultegra skewer would back that claim up.
But it's also possible atleast 1 screw is cross threaded or siezed and the bolt head snapped or rounded off trying to remove it.
It still shouldn't be impossible to get out if you can get a good tool purchase, and even if the thread is damaged, if you just have a hole, then you can still securely attach a rack with a bolt, washers and a nylock nut on the other side.
But I just think it's very likely to be quite hard to remove.

One of the retro 90s bikes I bought for myself, came with some Huge oversized Serfas seat, that I took off and sold on eBay. Thing was comfy as fuck, had all sorts of gel and foam, and even rubber shock absorbers on the rail system. Felt like sitting on a couch.

im glad to hear that im not the only one who has experienced this. i just wanted to talk about games or something, but the flight instructors were the only ones who didnt talk about flight shit, partying, or relationships (85% flight shit in these conversations).
i just wanted some flight buddies to talk about bullshit at the flight school and maybe some video games with. there were some autists at the flight school, but they only ever spoke about flight shit too. if i ever did go back to get my license for some retarded reason, i would probably do part 61 with a guy i know at the local airport.

Uncle Extra recently certified a new acrobatic airplane with no steel tubing in the fuselage, so I am sure that Boeing engineers can do it too.. eventually.

The Extra designers hung on to metal tubing in the fuselage, even after some other manufacturers went to all carbon. And some of the tails snapped into half after tailslides, and there was at least one fatal accident this way.

One guy I know has all his competition stickers stuck onto the weakest part of the fuselage, right in front of the stabilizers. He's a funny guy.

In passenger aviation, you can have the computers limit the G-forces. No self-respecting acro pilot will accept any limitations short of his own bowels exiting via his pelvic ring, so the weaknesses with the composite manufacturing processes, in terms of instantaneous forces experienced in unlimited-category maneuvers, are potentially more catastrophic.

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as a cycling girlfriend, is in fact, just a female who picked up a "hobby" from one of the previous guys who fucked her, or as I've recently taken to calling them, thots. A thot is not a person who likes cycling for its own sake, but rather another way to make herself seem more desirable to men by making herself appear to enjoy things like exercise, being outdoors, a sense of friendly competition or just being alone with one's thoughts, plus the sense of pride in maintaining a fine machine tuned to one's own particular wants and requirements.

Many men have been tricked into letting women intrude on, and therefore defile their most cherished personal pursuits, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the world of cycling has become ruined by "inclusiveness" virtue signaling, and rather than having an opportunity to mentor a new cyclist (who happens to have breasts and a vagina) in their discovery of a new hobby. normal male cyclists find themselves berated out of nowhere by these thots because they enjoy bicycles "too much" and that makes them "elitist" or "toxic masculinity".

There really are female cyclists, and some of them have boyfriends, but they are about 1 in 1,000,000 and despite the fact that this implies that thousands of them probably exist SOMEWHERE, in fact you will never actually meet one. Cycling is the sport or practice of riding a bicycle, having a bicycle is an essential part of being a cyclist but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a pure desire to ride. "Women's cycling" is normally used in combination with an ulterior motive: the intent is to make it something vulgar and inane: "this is not a race". All the so-called "women's bicycles" are really just normal bicycles painted pink.

So then why is the overwhelming majority of the built environment in certain places designed around cars? If it's all about empowering the human, surely the landscape would be designed for the human.
>You’d wish you were free range
"Free range" would be a walkable environment, which Tokyo excels at providing. Being strapped inside a hulk of steel and aluminium (with all its implied logistics) as a prerequisite for going anywhere isn't free.

>two weeks of work clothes
At absolute MOST you need four pairs of work clothes, three in regular rotation and an extra pair in case you rip something.
Some ships even provide coveralls so you realistically might not even need that many work clothes if they do.
I generally bring three pairs of normal clothes with me + whatever I’m wearing on crewchange day as well, but that’s because we go get fucked up in port a lot at NOAA and I like having options on how to dress

Also the most important thing to bring is porn
