Where I live, I have hills, big hills in every direction. I own both types of bike, a rad runner 6 for long, fast rides from my house, and then 20 miles up into the mountains along back roads.

I have a road bike that I bought when I couldn’t really afford it, and paid about 1,000 for it. It’s a tomasso. It’s ok. I wish I had a trek, or a specialized hybrid road with the slightly thicker tires than the tiny ones my road bike has. I can’t really afford those.

I use the RAD bike more for cardio, generally leave it in pedal assist 2 or 3 and just try to get a quick workout during lunch time. I take the other plain road bike out with a cycling club locally one or two nights a week. I don’t own a car, and I work from home. Biking makes me happy, but I get lazy when it’s really hot, so I ride the e-bikes more when it’s hot.

I’m 45. It’s not as easy as 45 to build muscle back up and get superfit in a short amount of time. The e-bike helps with cardio and keeps me excited about taking a quick spin without getting totally smoked by all of the hill climbs it takes to get out of my neighborhood, much less through the foothills of the smokies and Appalachians.

Even if you’re going off to the side you’re on, it’s a distraction. It will draw my attention back to see if you’ve fallen, crashed, or gotten hurt. I will check my mirrors for you to see if there are additional dangers to me. I ride around bike-like objects all the time. Passing you isn’t even going to be a thing that I notice. You’ll get a “On your left, passing” from me when I’m about to go by so you know not to do any funny business in my direction. I don’t expect you to exit the lane. Heck, if you’re doing 15MPH, we might ride and bullshit with each other for a bit.

I’m trying to learn banjo. I’m not sure it’s supposed to be played with whole notes, but fuckit. It’s what I can do, ok?

Wait until people and brands start getting spammed with @s full of porn or CSAM and they can’t block the person tweeting it at them.

I believe you could use block to prevent other people’s shit from showing up in your feeds that other people see. My account is there, pointing at my mastadon account, but I deleted the app from my phone last December, so it doesn’t really matter to me what happens on that site. But, it seems wild that a person can spam your feed with goatse and you can’t do anything about it.

Toto makes a handheld battery powered travel bidet, if you didn’t know. Instructions are in Japanese, but you can probably figure it out cuz there are illustrations.

Kyle!

No. It changes the username to [deleted].

It wasn’t (and isn’t) a law. It’s a procedural norm that the Senate follows (except when they don’t want to) to make judicial branch nominees need to overcome a filibuster for approval, but it wasn’t required. In the past, most judges would get confirmed in the Senate with votes in the 95-0 range. Here’s a list of Senate SC confirmations. Many passed with voice votes only (didn’t even count). One (Matthews) even got confirmed with a vote of 24-23 (less than half of the total Senate voting at all).

That was, until Mitch McConnell decided he would completely block Barrack Obama’s appointments, not just to the Supreme Court, but to any federal court. McConnell blocking all Obama appointees in 2012(ish) led to Harry Reid removing the filibuster “requirement” in 2013 when the Senate made their rules. This back and forth between McConnell and Reid was really an extension from McConnell’s time as a staffer I’m the Senate when Nixon was in the White House, which the PBS article talks about. We’re just now (in the last decade or so) seeing the effects of things McConnell decided in the 60s. This is gutter politics resulting from the Senate’s bullshit rules that allow the minority party to prevent change unless it benefits the rich and powerful.

This is such a short-sighted take. My wife was prom queen… 3 years before I met her. I forgot about it completely until I read your post and thought, “what a childish thing to say, no one cares about that.” Why? Because I have 20 years of history with my wife. 2 children, a good job, a good life, and a happy family. Exactly 0% of that has anything to do with a prom that happened years before we met.

I want to live a long and happy life, and have as many days as possible with my wife, my children, and maybe their children (if they decide to have any). The things that worry me aren’t whether or not I’m having sex with a former prom queen, but how can I stay healthy so I can have a chance to make as many memories with the people I love as possible. It’s about whether or not they feel loved, accepted, and fulfilled. High school popularity has no value whatsoever to healthy, adjusted adults.

Couldn’t they prorate the hourly rate to account for the time that your actually assigned to an active delivery? That wouldn’t interfere with multi-apping, as a driver would be “on the clock” for their delivery time. It seems like the companies would be able to figure out how to do the right thing if they wanted to.

Seems like we’re about to start coding in beanary.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his memes.

This is correct. This article is reddit-approved propaganda. People were not shown nsfw content without their consent until reddit admins removed the subs’ nsfw status and set them back to sfw. This article also doesn’t account for the fact that subs’ own users voted to change the content of the subs, and then reddit claimed that subs must remain open and available to the users who have formed communities on them. The communities decided they wanted a different type of community, and reddit said no.

I wish people would stop working for free for this multi-billion dollar corporation so they’d actually have to pay for moderation and not get to profit off of the free labor of its users.

I’d probably say “consenting adults” when it comes to who people love instead of “within legal constraints”, because if conservatives could make gay people illegal, they would. But otherwise, I’m with you 100%.

I don’t go to church, think church is probably one of the most dangerous places for kids to be around adults, and still don’t care if people choose to force their kids to go to church. It’s just not my business who people choose to associate with as long as they’re not harming others.

Three, actually, if you count the indicted guy, the current governor, and the Miami mayor.
