i really think the food delivery stuff is almost entirely functionally indifferent from drive-through traffic the more i think about it, except for the part where an exasperated guy wordlessly shoves his phone into the face of a confused cashier until they receive a bag of food

99% of traffic issues these days boils down to "what if every restaurant was a drive-through"

Rapidly running out of days I can get away without using my bike lights on my way to work. Been about a week or two of starting the morning in twilight. Time change might give me a second wind but not for long I don't think

i think it's one of those things that err on the side of caution when rim + tire have such a variable affect on actual width. but yeah i've gotten my 2.5ers on fine

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

it's definitely a downstream consequence of the 2024 vibe shift but i guess what was funny hee hee ha ha a few years ago feels fundamentally vindictive and mean-spirited and designed to inflict harm. i think if i was a better and stronger person i'd have long been off of all of this

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

if you asked me in '22/'23 I'd have told you that social media has been a force for good in my life and now in 2026 I basically think 90% of social media is populated by deeply unwell people & my continued use stems from a fundamental character flaw that is my inability to shut up & need to be heard

Toddler at this wedding feverishly yelping "SIX seven" repeatedly in a corner of the room. I feel a deep affinity with them

Like a 7ft tall man too. Triggered a primal fear inside of me for my life

I know you're joking around but in dead seriousness I can abide being a runner but doing your 100m usain bolt sprint on a public trail is just insane behavior. Kicked in my fight or flight instincts I was like this guy is going to try to mug me

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I was riding to work earlier this week and there was a guy running full sprint maximum speed towards me on the trail eyes wide open and that shit about stopped me dead in my tracks that's way too much at 6am man. Couldn't help but uttering "what the fuck" just way too much

Ordered a Coors with dinner on our Amtrak and the diner car attendant looked me head to toe and said "Yeah you look like a guy who'd drink Coors."

neglected to get a photo of it, but one of the highlights of our train was alighting and seeing a large sheet of cardboard tucked into the luggage with a 4' marker drawing of a sailor saluting and speaking into a speech bubble "I SALUTE MURICA'S RAILROAD" yes king so true

remain pretty strong in my sentiment that while the weather conditions of course have to be dealt with it's honestly kind of nice not to be getting elbowed around by everyone else in the off-season as happens in summer

it's so funny going on on the LFT on a day it's just like. rainy. where'd y'all go. everyone was made of sugar and melted

People are freaking out but these are pretty bog-standard on a lot of municipal vehicles for the purpose of self-insuring

I always think ah those things last way longer than I expect like just a little less than forever but no I think I got my mileage out of this pair lol

This is also probably my fault for just like wearing my cleats to walk about town lmfao. The new ones are so fucking loud and crunchy when walking

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I replaced my cycling shoes and noticed new trouble keeping clipped in on high torque pedal pulls so I decided it was time to replace the cleats. Woof I didn't think that they had gotten that bad. Same SH51s. You can barely make out the wear dimple and slope from about a year or maybe more of use

I also cannot help but snicker every time I read "Whihala Beach".

I saw one those beautiful Ural sidecar motorcycles parked at Whihala Beach Saturday and man I drool so bad over these things they look so sick

me at 9am: alright I should try to finish dinner before 7 or 8 so I don't go to bed with an upset stomach that keeps me awake all night me at 10pm: ohhh.... a cheeky little bed-time brookie, eh...

Don't even get me started on the Meta AI personal assistant ads. Entirely conceived by a millionaire exec. Who the fuck has the comfort of infinite money to just tell some fuckass chatbot "um Meta, book me a massage!" And not give a rat's ass about checking reviews, prices, calendar first? Insane

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Been getting these ads for Facebook lately that are basically like "oh, Facebook is actually, like good? Wow! Did you know that Facebook isn't actually evil? Wow! Should we canonize mark Zuckerberg? :-)" and they basically incite the exact opposite reaction to their intention in my psyche

but seriously what was up with the drivers today everybody was behaving behind the wheel as if it had just finished a rainstorm at 5:30pm or something even though it was a cool, still, crisp and sunny dawn at 7:00am

Æthelred the UnPreddy @ready4preddy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

beautiful morning out there. maybe one of the most beautiful. which naturally is why it must be a chaotic morning with drivers out for blood for seemingly no reason, and myself getting locked inside of my apartment building's backyard and nearly made late for work
