Daniel Warshaw @ploafmaster.com · 30/09/2026Kid’s middle school posted a book fair flyer that was so hideously covered in clip art and Comic Sans that it was honestly charming; refreshing in it’s unlikelihood of having been AI-generated like 99% of same-y school flyers this year. Like, somebody actually made it, warts and all. 020

Daniel Warshaw @ploafmaster.com · 26/09/2026I almost didn’t go out on the bike because of the wind but I’m glad I did. The wind was awful, yes, but everything else about the weather was amazing. Had a fun rip on the Diamondback. 011

Daniel Warshaw @ploafmaster.com · 23/09/2026I just watched Madame Web and…yikes. The writing was poor, the action was flabby, and I’m sorry to Dakota Johnson who could totally be a nice person, but she has all the charisma of rock. I’ve seen her in a few movies now and she always seems like she just woke up. 010

Daniel Warshaw @ploafmaster.com · 17/09/2026Here's the current state (note the barrier already moved). Not great. Though I wouldn't ride/walk under if a train is overhead since a section of the "ceiling" that protects from debris is missing. 011

Daniel Warshaw @ploafmaster.com · 14/09/2026I know I’m not even the 100th person pointing this out, but the new bullshit interstate exit for Short Pump will cost ($157 million) more than the entire 2027 operating budget for GRTC ($101 million) and around half the cost of building the Fall Line Trail (~$300 million). 010

Daniel Warshaw @ploafmaster.com · 24/08/2026I would never buy DI2 Dura Ace, but the latest rear derailleur officially shifts up to a 36t cog. From my experience if Shimano says 36, you can most likely actually get up to 42 (with b-screw adjustment) which is just bonkers for this level of #bike component. Dura Ace wide-range double? :-P 000
