USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I used to have dura ace bar end shifters and truly the reliability and fine tuning possible with bar end is unrivaled. Now I’m an asshole with axs on most stuff but do miss the simple elegance and ability to use my worn ass cassette and cables for longer 110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Today I made some of my coworkers give me idioms to match "slower than molasses in January" and gotta say the one that translates as "slower than an asthmatic snail" is my new fav 040

USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Lovely moment that really encapsulates my experience in tech today: We worked out that the conference room speaker silences women’s voices when you turn on background noise suppression in Teams 282
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Did a lot of heavy squat, and generally a fair amount of leg day today, so the man who yelled “that’s a thick ass” at me as I left the gym today honestly had impeccable timing 030

USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ah yeah being a woman on the internet, should be good now 010
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What’s your favorite TNG episode and why is it Darmok 140
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I mean relatively speaking, yes now better, but my kingdom for actually nice E-W streets to ride on north of 31st 110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ah yeah if I’m going for painted lane I still take Lawrence which has its own problems but I’ve had way more montrose close calls per mile than Lawrence and after 10+ years of weekly Wilson riding, I’ve still never had anything bad happen to me there, at least W of Clark. Uptown is all a shitshow 110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Oh interesting I avoid montrose because it’s both narrow and heavily trafficked. Wilson is so narrow no one tries to close pass you and way less risk of dooring too. Montrose is too busy for the space they designate for bikes, imo 110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026But basically, Wilson is less stressful than Lawrence, but avoid during school pick up/drop off. You can ride North Branch trail a lot of the way to Mariano’s on elston for a low stress grocery, or you can take the trail at Central Park/carmen to get basically to the Jewel on foster 1110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I live basically right there. Have them dm me! I have a lot of low stress routes to things 280
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Getting 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 010
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026also I have a 29" inseam and these were somehow not horrendously long, hard to find 000
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I 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 130
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You grew up in the same nosy midwestern home I did again, tapping the social cues wizardry sign 020
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Is semiotics not at least 2/3 of my identity 110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Someone invites me into critical analysis pathways and then gets mad when I ruminate. Am I supposed to be some kind of social cues wizard??? 161
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Ease 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. 030
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026You can hire me to name all your things hmu 001

USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I 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 140
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026If this is somehow yours, can I help you find a different bike that sucks less 000
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Hi please enjoy this cursed e-bike outside of a grocery store. This was like 2 weeks ago so I assume it has already caught fire by now. 330
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Or use OP! Shakespeare wasn’t writing in old English and OP would actually be interesting cause more of the puns would shine through 010
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Would have to read about the actual film to see if they just meant OP which would be cool so I hope that’s what it is but original pronunciation of Shakespeare and old English are 10000000000% not the same thing I am spiraling over here 110
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Reading the original post just fills me with the compulsive need to point out that old English is linguistically inappropriate for the period. Your response is better 220
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I do think I’m smarter than an LLM actually Just saw a slide that suggested the whole delivery process can be autonomous and hard disagree 030
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s like even if I weren’t so strongly weighted in the sprinter only category of muscle and cardiovascular composition, pretty sure I’d still suck at ITT and breakaways. Thank god I’m all fast twitch 010
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Even 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 150

USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I make traditional oats with some brown sugar and also frequently cheddar grits. Very worth it to bring a small stove imo 130
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Today I happened to end up behind Woo Lady on LFT so I got to surprise her with a woo as I passed her and the sheer delight as she responded in kind is legit one of the best experiences I’ve had on a bike this year.

USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 04/09/2026911 was also the first time it occurred to me that someone might not already know where my parents live I was used to clarifying which set of people with my last name I belonged to but that was usually where the questions ended if they didn't already know me on sight 100
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 04/09/2026if you never gave people directions starting with "do you know where so and so live" or "it's the second right after the cemetery" or even worse "we only had one stop light" don't even bother 220
USDA Crit Beef Inspector @youterus.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Normally 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 150
