OK, now I'm obsessing. This is at least 28 more seconds than I wanted to spend on this image.
This image is a screenshot featuring a statement attributed to Donald J. Trump regarding his relationship with Apple CEO Tim Cook.

The document is heavily color-coded with highlighter-style overlays.

Highlighter Legend:
Green: Praise for Tim Cook
Red: Belittling other people
Pink: Self-glorification
Mauve: Writing own name in all caps

Content Summary:
The text describes an interaction where Tim Cook allegedly called Trump during his presidency to ask for help with a "large problem" that "only I, as President, could fix."

The Narrative: Trump claims he bypassed expensive consultants (whom he disparages in red) to solve Cook's problem "quickly and effectively."

The Relationship: He describes a "nice relationship" involving "3 or 4 BIG HELPS" and praises Cook as an "amazing manager and leader" (highlighted in green).

The Tone: Much of the text is highlighted in pink, specifically sections where Trump speaks about his own importance, such as Cook calling to "kiss my ass" or the assertion that consultants would have failed where he succeeded.

The Signature: The final line, "President DONALD J. TRUMP," is highlighted in grey, corresponding to the "Writing own name in all caps" category.

I made myself a t-shirt using 37 mpb. I also had a discussion w/ my wife & daughter and they said something similar: they didn't want to bike 20-30 miles just to eat a burrito. It hadn't occurred to me that's how it would be perceived since I came at it from a math and efficiency perspective.
t-shirt with a picture of a bicycle and the words "37 mpg (miles per burrito)"

So the sticker for me would probably be in the 30-45 mpb range (i.e. 37 mpb), which is similar to the mpg for an above average efficiency car (Honda civic mpg is ~36mpg combined).

I average around 35 calories burned per mile cycled. My watch estimates calories so I calculated the cal/mile ranges for rides across various altitudes and elevation gain/strenuousness from 22 to 44 calories per mile, so my efficiency varies from 25-50 mpb (for that 1115 cal burrito).

Hey @bikeeastbay.bsky.social I recently received this cool sticker for joining your org. I wanted to point out that the number for mpb should be higher, at least according to my calcs. Chipotle has a calorie counter and my preferred burrito there has 1115 calories in it (w/ no sour cream or cheese)
