My new pet peeve is people who use “he” as the pronoun for Claude, not “it”

Happy 35th Anniversary to "Darmok"

curated design by unknown author, a certifiably ancient image (but originally a ThinkGeek shirt maybe?), a screenprint-style image of Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek TNG playing guitar, in the style of a rock band's tour shirt, with text: Darmok & Jalad at Tanagra September 1991

Getting that sweet sweet 50/50 split is like the only cycling metric I chase anymore outside of max power for intervals under 30s. Love to see it

Most beautiful post ride stat of 50%L 50%R power balance

I tried a new tight and I really like it! it's great news because Velocio is getting to rich for my blood. Very pleased with the non-thermal Ornot tight, perfect for when your ride starts in the 50s and ends in the 60+ Hard to beat the price point and still have a decent chamois too

Someone invites me into critical analysis pathways and then gets mad when I ruminate. Am I supposed to be some kind of social cues wizard???

Ease of finding jobs to apply for that match my salary wants and experience level is simultaneously both heartening and disheartening because if it's this frictionless the pipeline has to be so cursed I'll need a nepotism to even get a review.

I need to find a new panic attack refocusing strategy because my anxiety has been spiking a lot lately and I used to mentally go through my most ideal bike build and make sure I could name all the required parts but it’s less engaging now because I actually don’t want anything I don’t already have

Even if I had the right fitness profile I don’t think I could ever win a race from a long solo breakaway because it so damn boring so I’d blow it from lack of focus Racing is most fun when there are people around me to play off of

Normally when people want to get into a "who is from somewhere more rural" discussion with me I cite my graduating high school class size (41) but now thinking about including remembering when I had to memorize my address in middle school because we just got one with 911 being rolled out

It's the same BS game with trans folks, vegans, bike riders, etc. I've never been hassled at my front door or city streets by evangelist muslims. The routine: Pretend that people you don't like who are quietly living their life are forcing themselves on you to justify your nonstop attacks on them.

impressive the number of negative replies to the "you should not be required to own a car to go about your daily life in a city" post that are just about how public transportation is woefully underfunded that's a problem we could solve! it's as if that's the very premise of the original post!

In great timing, just learned that the only pedestrianized bridge between the C&O and Harpers Ferry is closed again while I’ll need it. The stated alternatives: shuttle that runs between 9-6, takes bikes when it feels like it Pre-book a transfer with a touring company

I have a personal rule that when you see the Skokie Swift you must be swift but 10/10 times it does confuse my riding partner about why we’re sprinting now. I will always cherish my yellow line intervals
