I’d like to see recycable bike tires, too! Bike tires suffer similar problems. And my bikes go through tires fairly quick.

I think there are many great filters, but I think one of those filters is fighting over limited resources and wars. Perhaps limited to humans/earth, but I doubt it. Nukes, dropping rocks from orbit, and theoretical (but possible) weapons like black hole bombs are all going to tempt irrational beings to take someone’s stuff.

We have to be extremely careful that we don’t accidentally trigger a weapon that is going to kill or dramatically cripple our civilization before we become a truly interstellar species. There is so much to learn out there, while so many people are currently focused on the wrong things such as minor conflicts or what children aren’t allowed to learn.

Same, but cars in general now. I used to look forward to driving, but now I’m sick of it. Biking and ebikes have made going places fun again :)

One of the images that has haunted me for years was a big protest over an important event that warranted a serious discussion and protest. But in the middle of it, someone broke into a nearby restaurant and made off with an entire cheesecake. Broad daylight, right in front of news cameras, their pale-ass face giving no fucks in the world.

Fucking opportunists. They used to come every year and trash parts of the city during protests. Whenever they’d get arrested, they’d always be from neighboring states, never locals. It generates a massive amount of ill-will and casts legitimate protests in a bad light.

Regardless of outcome, though, the most important thing we can all do is vote. Get everyone you can to actually turn out for local elections, state/province/territory elections, and national elections. Protesting is another tool between voting.

The only remakes that I really liked were Black Mesa and the MCC. Black Mesa was such an incredible tribute to Half Life.

Some, like The Witcher (1), could absolutely use an overhaul because of bad gameplay issues, time constraints or budget cuts (Xen- Half Life, etc). Most, like Skyrim…eh. they don’t really need it as long as they sent patches for stuff like 144hz and ultrawide support.

Aren’t people sick of war? The last thing I would want is another war tearing my country apart. Lebanon has had terrible things happen to it in the past. Just…chill. Nothing good will come from war.

Good christ. Wash your dick, get your HPV vaccines, and don’t smoke. That sounds like a fucking nightmare if you need your urethra relocated.

I want us to build a massive collider in New Mexico. There’s a bunch of land around Black Mesa that could probably house a massive underground collider. The US needs a big one!

One update said there was no corrosion damage. That was my guess, too. The mystery continues! Maybe eroding soil?

I want more pneumatic tube systems. I don’t care what it’s used for. They are super satifying and analog.

Good luck getting people to waste a ton of gas and time going into the office every day. Even before the pandemic, everyone was already using teams for meetings virtually. I think we had physical meetings a few times a year at most, and even then, some people were virtual.

I’d definitely eat it, especially over ecosystem-destroying meats and dirty meats. Especially if they can work on the price. I’d like to see more farmlands and public lands reforested and taken back to nature.

Hell yeah, Ukraine ❤️

Keep up the good fight!

Breakfast = break fast (as in fasting) :)

You should see a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. They are far more knowledgeable than us and can suggest treatments.

It’s Ohio

About the Super Load

This is the twelfth of nearly two dozen “super loads” that will make their way from a dock on the Ohio River near Manchester in Adams County to New Albany in Licking County.

Heh. So many innuendos.

There have been studies debunking claims of bike-induced ED, buuuuut, if you are really worried, you can get a ventilated or slotted saddle and occasionally stand up on your bike at traffic stops and such. There are specialized saddles and a variety of bikes with different riding positions.

I love downhill mountain biking, singletrack, and city riding, and never had issues with getting it up either. When the shitty OEM saddle made my balls fall asleep, I swapped to a better saddle made by SQ Labs and changed the seat angle slightly.

Also… if ED were an issue, the Netherlands and Japan would be like…sterile, hahah

Get an ebike. I wear normal clothes. Lycra is for fitting in to fitness biking groups, most don’t wear it.

I just use my ebike as a car alternative so I don’t have to fight for parking at popular spots in the city or pay for $5/gal gas unnecessarily (unless I’m actually going to a remote place, then I use my car). Gets me to my destination in roughly the same amount of time due to traffic lights and bad traffic. I’ve actually beaten friends in Ubers because the bike paths are much more direct, typically.

Recharging costs pennies, and I’m usually down to half a battery 45 miles in as long as I’m going in hybrid mode where I’m still pedaling. Gets you stupidly into shape as a side benefit, since you are always pedaling and you can turn the battery off if you want a 67lb exercise bike that also goes places.

Throw some panniers on and you can carry or tow a decent amount of stuff since the bike is electric.

Teams will show you as away even if you are watching a security training video or reading a long email…or waiting for a bunch of dataflows to refresh. It’s a really bad way of calculating if someone is away.
