Thousand Oaks Acorn: Prizes, maps, workshops and training highlight Bicycle Month

"The Ventura County Transportation Commission and the nonprofit Bike Ventura County organization use prizes, maps and training to accomplish these goals.

The commission’s new guide, “Biking Ventura County: Routes & Tips for Beginners & Families,” makes it easy to find a place to ride. It highlights shared-use paths and separated bike lanes across the county and provides guidance on safety, e-bikes and tips for taking bicycles aboard public transit. "

"A Brew Ride takes place on the second Sunday of each month from 1 to 4:30 p.m., starting at 490 N. Ventura Ave. This social ride celebrates Ventura’s award-winning breweries, but safety is paramount.

“There’s no excessive drinking and riding,” Abele said. “Riders enjoy tastings and . . . chat with local brewers.”

The casual ride starts after lunch, and participants will have just enough time for one drink at each of two brewery visits. “Remember, on the road, cyclists are vehicles subject to all traffic laws, including those against drunk driving,” Abele said. "

Apparently a massive fish kill of some sort in Leadbetter Beach (Santa Barbara) via multiple sources -- John Palmientieri says grunion, but it could also be mackeral or anchovy IMHO.

Yikes, apparently I know a young man who was involved in this incident (but was not one of the two SEALS lost). https://apnews.com/article/seals-navy-deceased-weapons-raid-yemen-f0f9e334945a3ef5d85ed1fb165ad515

#TORNADO EMERGENCY until 7:30 PM CDT. #Tornado spotted in this area. This is a life-threatening situation. Take shelter now in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Source: NWS Shreveport LA

@Shadowsforbars asks a question that takes us back to the earlier days of

Q7. Does anyone have any AI pictures of bicycles they would like to share?

(Or prompts for that matter? Good/intersesting/bad, it'd be great to see a variety. Jeremy_ai, the previous host, would often introduce BikeNite with an interesting AI generated picture)

ai6yr,

@ascentale @Shadowsforbars . A7. Ah, please, no AI generated monstrosities! 😬 If you do post 'em, please CW or tag them so we can avoid the nightmares.

Just unbelievable: “Between mentally torturing a false confession out of Tom Perez, concealing from him that his father was alive and well, and confining him in the psych ward because they made him suicidal, in my 40 years of suing the police I have never seen that level of deliberate cruelty by the police,”

@kimu asks about helmet preferences:

Q4. If you wear a bike helmet, what’s your current helmet? What do you like and dislike about it?

ai6yr,

@ascentale @kimu A4. Trek Rally Wavecel (which was what the LBS carries). Very comfortable and the air flow is great, great ratings! The only problem is the chin strap won't stay adjusted correctly, I have to tighten it before every ride.

Welcome to the May 24th BikeNite! Thanks for joining, and I hope we all enjoy chatting about cycle stuff! Feel free to answer whenever at your convenience. Anyone can join, now or later. Reply to what you like, and boost for visibility.

We'll start out with our introduction (with help from @jfparis)

Q1. Where are you posting from today? Where we are, Spring semester is over or almost over for many students. How does this affect your riding?

ai6yr,

@ascentale @jfparis A1. Ventura County, CA. I just realized that today! That means no more avoiding near the high school around new-driver-melee-time (err... lunch)!

LOL I guess dumb keyword ads are better than dumb AI Overview responses.

After 2 ish years, I just went to report my first post. As I went through the motions, I realized this was going to my server's mods, because it asked which rule of ours it broke.

Is there a way to report it to the user's server? I assume they're the ones who would take action.

ai6yr,

@tehstu You have an option to report it back to the other server, as well.

Key Messages for Gulf Coast Heatwave

NOAA: A dangerous early season heat wave will cointue over South Texas, and intensify in South Florida, through Memorial Day. Record warm overnight temperatures in these areas will provide little to no relief to those without adequate or reliable cooling.

Heat impacts are likely to be highest in South Texas, where heat index readings approaching or exceeding 115 degrees are expected.

Just had a weeeeeird interaction. I was walking back from the post office and saw somebody in their car, stopped at the exit of a parking lot, waiting for a red light.

I crossed in front of them and saw that their driver's side door was open. I was confused, so I looked over and noticed that they were dumping their coffee onto the street. I must have made a face, because she looked at me and said, "It's just coffee."

I don't think I said anything and sorta shrugged. She continued "I didn't want to drink it anymore. I didn't want to spill it in my car. But thank you for judging me."

I said "I didn't say anything" (by NOW I was judging her 😄) and then she drove away.

I am definitely judging now. It feels messed up that there's some sort of entitlement to litter and make a community space slightly worse for convenience sake, and then get angry about perceived (which became real) judgement of that action. Maybe she was just having a bad day?

ai6yr,

@ascentale LOL it's better than people dumping out the pee bottle 😂

ai6yr,

@ascentale That's HER guilt talking outloud, not you. She knows she probably should haven't done it in the middle of the street (ps. in the planters are fine, plants love coffee)

ai6yr, to food

Well, let's try boiling the nopal today versus just eating it raw or quickly cooked...

ai6yr,

@Laplantgenetics None of the tunas make it inside, LOL... I just go out there with a pocket knife and eat one or two every day when they are in season.

ai6yr,

@jendefer As long as they are edible! They are all prickly pear... different varieties of the same species.

If you're wondering why the 91 is backed up. (Update: unfortunately, this did not end well, self inflicted gunshot wound by this person). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63m54f-xFbA

ai6yr,

@gettingcomputey @ClimateJenny Oh, I'm not defending the policy, just stating it. btw, this did not end well, the driver unfortunately took their own life :-(

ai6yr, to pihole

Put the entire household on the pihole, hope I don't get too many complaints, LOL (maybe overkill for the entire household, but... worth the experiment) #pihole #cybersecurity

ai6yr,

@DonTheMaster What's the advantage of this over the pihole default?

ai6yr,

@DonTheMaster Thanks!
