fpslem,

I don’t love the consolidation in this industry, but I know the big draw was the spectrum US Cellular holds.

fpslem,

Little Kitty Big City, which is some great, silly fun.

fpslem,

It is fairly short, but at $25USD, it was priced reasonably enough that I didn’t feel cheated. And frankly, I don’t have time for very long games, I really can only manage short games, so it works out well for me.

fpslem,

Pretty sick and tired of so-called clean aviation fuel efforts. Just build the damn high-speed rail already, knock out most of the domestic air travel, and limit flights to trips that couldn’t be done by train. That requires zero new tech and would make WAY more of an impact on greenhouse gas emissions than hydrogen jets ever could.

fpslem,

Sure, okay.

To each their own.

Whatever, it’s fine.

Primož Roglič is at altitude camp and is supposed to ride the Dauphiné in a little over a week, but we’ll see. Jonas Vingegaard was also supposed to ride the Dauphiné but he’s now out and is just looking to return for the Tour, reportedly through training in Mallorca. (It probably sounds more fun than it is.)

Remco Evenepoel and Mikel Landa haven’t returned to racing, but they are both training together as they aim for the Tour. Sean Quinn is back to racing, and just won the U.S. Road Race National Championships in a tight sprint over Brandon McNulty, which was pretty fun to watch. Steff Cras is reportedly training with Wout Van Aert right now, but hasn’t returned to racing.

Jay Vine is just happy to be walking again, but I haven’t seen any news about him even returning to training. I can’t find any news about Natnatel Tesfazion, but he had some of the worst injuries, so he’s probably like Jay Vine and just working on recovery.

Also, though his crash was separate from the mass crash, Tom Pidcock had also crashed in Itzulia, but he’s back to mountain bike racing.

fpslem,

Both are risking the lives and safety of the non-consenting public as they beta test 2-ton vehicles on public streets. Damn them both.

fpslem,

I’m interested in how this takes place in one room with a curtain divider, which I think was more common when home sizes were much smaller.

fpslem, (edited )

In small apartments curtains are definitely a cheap way to divide space, or make a single small space more adaptable or modular. I knew plenty of young adults in tiny NYC apartments that used curtains to “wall off” a sleeping area in a studio apartment, or create a make-shift workspace. Heck, I did that during lockdowns to have a work space. Although I did discover the downside of curtains, they do little to dampen sound and (to a lesser extent) smells.

Lizzy Banks tested positive after her asthma medication was contaminated with chlortalidon. WADA knew but still wanted to ban her for 2 years. She spent 9 months and all her savings to clear her name. (lizzybanks.co.uk)

(OP note: Lizzy did a TL;dr, which is below, but I recommend reading the whole things, she documented it pretty well.)...

fpslem,

It seems absurd for WADA to acknowledge the widespread problem of pharmaceutical contamination and still declare trace amounts of substances a violation. It should at least establish a minimum threshold for known potential contaminants.

My amateur opinion is that WADA is not using good forensic science principles, but it doesn’t want to admit it to athletes or the public. Obviously, we all want to know that sports are clean and that we can be confident in the safeguards in place, but hiding the flaws only makes it worse. It shouldn’t take a professional athlete who also happened to study medicine to figure this out.

fpslem,

He’s hard to dislike, even when he is demolishing your hopes and dreams!

fpslem, (edited )

I call it his “big boy gun”

Good! And I hope you never let him hear the end of it. What a poser.

fpslem, (edited )

It sucks but unless he hurt you, hit your bike, or you have any sort of footage what is the police suppose to do?

It’s worth noting that most American states have a “3 foot law” that requires vehicles to pass bikers with at least 3 feet of space. (Often, drivers are also required to completely change lanes when doing so, although that varies more by state and by the width of the lane on that particular road.) If a driver in one of the 39 states runs a biker off the road, even if they never physically contacted the person on the bike, they almost certainly violated the “3 foot law.”

Yes, police often won’t investigate or bring charges, and yes, it sucks, but most of those dangerous drivers are indeed breaking the law.

fpslem,

I think we’re both in agreement about the result, but we shouldn’t forget that testimony is evidence. The chump behind the wheel will deny it, so you’ll have conflicting testimonial evidence, but until recently, this was usually all the evidence any prosecutor had. We’ve gotten too used to video evidence and now police won’t act without it, even though it’s not legally required. It just provides a convenient excuse for cops not to bother when they don’t care.

fpslem,

2014 phones also fit in my hand. I miss that size, you can’t even find them now.

fpslem,

Promise? Deal.

fpslem,

I found the LLM-generated image very off-putting. I would have rather seen some example vehicles like the ones described in the article.

fpslem,

Glad I’m not the only one having trouble, my LMDE is less than 90 days from end-of-support, and the mintupgrade tool isn’t working for me. At my skill level, I’ve resigned myself to doing a fresh install, but it’s very frustrating. I typically use Mint because I don’t want to have to do that level of configuration and legwork, and it’s a bit off-putting.

fpslem,

I haven’t yet, I will try to follow your process and see if it works.

It is really weird to have a distro that is so mature and competent at just about everything else, and then it just doesn’t upgrade at all. I had an older family member on Mint a few years ago and they were very happy with it, but they ran into trouble on the upgrade, and after it went past the service period and they go stuck on older versions of Firefox, etc., they gave up and went back to Windows.
