    Saw a couple people on lectric ebikes today, each with a small kid on the back. None of them were wearing helmets. Guess that's the life hack... never need to replace your helmet if you don't wear one.

    I replaced mine earlier this year, got a POC Tectal MIPS. Really like it.

    I have the same GX groupset on two bikes - both 12 speed. One is AXS, the other is cable. The AXS shifter never misses. Ever. Can't say that about the cable, which I've adjusted many times. I think it's a great upgrade.

    It's also something I can work on, repair, etc. I don't think that's going to be the case with the upcoming setup where the gearing is colocated with the motor, and there's no derailleur. That's going to be a shop (or probably even manufacturer) repair.

    That's not at all how it works. Micro$oft paid a LOT for those congresscritters, precisely so they DON'T have to pay for it. We do. We always do.

    Weirdoness is a badge of honor for some, and a horrible insult for others. If you call EVERYONE weird, they all take it in the best possible way.

    I have one of those floating around here too, the thing I didn't care for with that model was that the blade doesn't stick out very far. The one-handed action is nice tho. The one I carry every day is this one https://a.co/d/29pk73c but it's not currently available.

    Slider style EDC utility knife. Small, lightweight, and because the blades are cheap and easily replaced you can abuse them - cut on concrete, pry stuff, if it breaks the blade, not a big deal.

    https://a.co/d/gouJDKV typical example but there's lots of different ones.

    Bonus - these blades are more expensive than most, but still cheap and last a lot longer than standard blades do https://a.co/d/bQj77Qz

    I first heard that one in the 80s, when I was in high school. I thought about making it more, but that's how I heard it, so that's how I'll tell it. :)

    As the joke goes...

    Two scientists think they've cracked the secret of creating a humanzee. However, in order to test their theory, they need a human to mate with their chimpanzee, so they take out an add in the local newspaper (it's an old joke. A newspaper is what we used for news in the before times) that reads, "Man wanted for sex with chimpanzee for $1000"

    The next day a man walks in and says, "I'll do it on three conditions. First, my wife can never know. Second, the children must be baptized. Finally, I'll have to pay in installments."

    Either way the nickname should be "Subway".

    "Did you meet Subway?" "... What?" "You gotta hear this story, dude! Gramma, tell Ricky your story!"

    "Did you meet The Subway Murderer? Dude, don't fuck with her, she runs this cell block."

    They don't get anything out of calling him, so he doesn't understand why they'd do it. Someone else told him it's a nice thing to do and that acknowledging it is helpful to him.

    First off, epic joyride. That's how you end up with a nickname you get to explain when you're 50.

    Second off, we keep saying more people should take public transportation, and I feel this arrest sends a mixed message.

    It turns out cyclists actually should roll through stop signs. Here’s why

    In first ever documented case, Talaria electric dirt bike goes up in flames in US

    https://electrek.co/2024/09/07/in-first-ever-documented-case-talaria-electric-dirt-bike-goes-up-in-flames-in-us/ TL;DR - shitty battery goes FWOOOF "Hicks explained that Talaria normally only uses a well-respected battery maker known as Greenway Batteries. ... However, due to a “clerical error made by the Talaria team,” some Talaria MX5 electric motorbikes that were shipped to the US included a battery produced by another supplier known as Scud."
