Hello new followers new to me and some oldies but goodies, you know who you are <wink>. Maybe I should add something to my profile here. I'm interested in biking, analytics, econ, and general food/health/living.

TFW it is now dark and chilly for your 6am bike ride but you know you would give anything for this 53F weather during another snowcrete incident so you ride.

Holy hell, this is some read. Might have to get for our December book club where we each pick a memoir and we all try to guess who they are about. Trying to recall if I have had that peach dessert. 🍑😳 washingtonian.com/2026/09/15/p...

BI grew out of "decision support systems," and then we mostly kept the systems. Zohar Strinka joined the Analytics Power Hour to argue that if nobody does anything differently afterward, the analysis had zero value. Plus: peanut butter, and a bag of rocks. analyticshour.io/2026/09/15/3...

#306: Decision Support Has Been the Point All Along
Before there was BI, there were "decision support systems." Somewhere along the way, we seem to have quietly dropped the "decision support" part and just kept the systems.

I personally know people who have been killed or disabled in this scenario and there are some permutations (downhill stretches, tinted glass, folks on phones) that make this the most dangerous riding situation. And yet 95% of adults truly don't understand the stress they cause.

Yes, to what @drtcombs.bsky.social posts. Time to ban #RTOR everywhere. Between drivers blocking the crosswalk and not looking for people walking/biking, and drivers running the red to make ROR, this doesn't make any sense anymore.

Ah the rigamarole of walking to Safeway for a 2nd allowed bag of on sale mandarin that were great when bought Friday, complaining at self checkout that I did not get the deal, they gave it to me, and oh MrND had not clipped the coupon he thought he had. Also, swamp ass.
