IN EGYPT THEY TRIED TO DRY OUT THEIR DEAD BECAUSE SO LONG AS GRANDPA'S BODY HAD BLOOD IN HIM HIS SPIRIT WAS LINGERING AROUND BEING JUDGEMENTAL
NUMEROUS CAVES AND FISSURES AND MOUNTAIN STREAMS WERE PEGGED AS ENTRANCES TO THE UNDERWORLD AND LIFEBLOOD FROM AN ANIMAL SACRIFICE COULD BE SPILLED IN A POOL TO ATTRACT THE SHADES OF THE DEAD
OF COURSE YOU COULD ALSO HAVE YOUR TEMPLE BUILT NEXT TO A HERO'S TOMB OR VICE VERSA AND JUST POUR ONE OUT FOR ACHILLES, GREEK STYLE
LIFEBLOOD WAS SIMILARLY USED FOR RITUAL PURIFICATION
SIN LEAVES DEATH RESIDUE, SPRINKLE BLOOD ON RITUALLY UNCLEAN OBJECT AND IT WIPES THE DEATH AWAY
IN CHRISTIANITY THERE IS A BIG EMPHASIS AGAINST THE USURPATION OF POWER THAT IS NOT GIVEN YOU
KILLING THE KING TO MAKE YOURSELF KING, SUBVERTING THE ESTABLISHED ORDER AND HIERARCHY
BECAUSE OF THAT THE CONSUMPTION OF LIFEBLOOD IS A PRETTY BIG PROHIBITION IN CHRISTIANITY
AND I DON'T MEAN LIKE BLUTWURST, I MEAN LIKE THE VAMPIREPILL ON FIT WHERE GUYS DRINK CATTLE BLOOD BY THE GALLON FOR MAD GAINS
THE REASON WHY THE SAME PROHIBITIONS FAIL IN THE CASE OF THE FLESH AND BLOOD OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IS BECAUSE HE IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE
WE HAVE LIFE IN US, FROM HIM
SO ITS NOT A USURPATION OF THE LIFE FORCE OF ANOTHER LIVING BEING THAT PUTS US IN AN ADVERSARIAL RELATION TO CREATION
AND KOSHER/HALAL SLAUGHTER ARE JEWISH DEVELOPMENTS OF "HOW TO GET LIFEBLOOD OUT OF AN ANIMAL IN SOME SORT OF THE MOST RITUALLY PURE WAY"
THEY COULD JUST DO WHAT WE DO WHEN WE DRESS A BUCK WITH A BUCKET UNDER THE CARCASS, BUT BECAUSE THEYRE AUTISTIC ABOUT PURITY LAWS AND THEY PRETTY CALLOUSLY PUT THEMSELVES AT SUCH A HEIGHT ABOVE THE REAT OF CREATION SO AS TO SET UP AN ADVERSARIAL AND PREDATORY RELATIONSHIP AGAIN, THEY'D RATHER MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF PURIFICATION THEY HAVE TO DO AT COST OF THE ANIMAL SUFFERING
@BronzeAgeHogCranker I DON'T
WOMEN OF OTHER RACES IRL DON'T LOOK "EXOTIC HOT" LIKE CARAMEL SKINNED ANIME BABES WITH PURPLE EYES AND WHITE HAIR
THEY LOOK UNSETTLING IN THE VEIN OF ELDER SCROLLS ELVES
Falling back into shitty, unproductive habits again, gotta snap out of this funk being sick got me into over the last couple weeks. :hoshino_ultraweary:
wow they're just a tiny country about the size of New Jersey,almost completely dependent on the rest of the world for protection/gibs and yet somehow they can just tell every other world leader to fuck off when they feel like it.
They don't control anything. Thats just a racist antisemitic conspiracy theory, goy! image.png
@icst@MK2boogaloo NO YOU DINGUS
ITS CODE FOR STRUCTURES AND MONUMENTS BUILT TO RESEMBLE VERY BIG VERSIONS OF EVERYDAY OBJECTS
LIKE A CHAIR THE SIZE OF A BUILDING OR THE BIGGEST BALL OF YARN OR A GIANT COWBOY BOOT AND YOU CAN ENTER INTO IT AND ITS A CAFE, OR A GIANT BOWIE KNIFE
SHIT THAT IS ACTUALLY IRRELEVANT FOR BICYCLE PERFORMANCE UNLESS YOU ARE COMPETING, YOU WILL NOT NOTICE IT
AKA FOR SPEED, BECAUSE POWER IS BASICALLY A CONSTANT
"JSUT TRANE BRO :)"
WEIGHT
THE RIDER IS LIKE 80% OF THE COMBINED WEIGHT
WEIGHT SAVINGS ON A CARBON FRAME WHEN RIDDEN AMOUNT TO LIKE A TENTH OF WHAT THEY ARE WHEN WEIGHED AGAINST A STEEL OR ALUMINUM ON A SCALE
TIRE PRESSURE
IT CONTRIBUTES TO ROLLING FRICTION A LOT IN THE LAB
IN REAL WORLD -- TURNS OUT BASICALLY FUCKALL
RUN THEM SOFT BROHER, BETTER FOR GRAVEL
TIRE WIDTH
YOU'D THINK OT WOULD IMPACT ROLLING RESISTANCE OR AERO BUT NO, ITS FUCKALL
RUN FIFTIES AND RUN THEM SOFT
RIM WEIGHT
PEOPLE SAY THAT CARBON RIMS ARE FASTER TO SPIN UP AND HEAVY FAT TIRE RIMS "ROLL THROUGH" BUMPS WITH INERTIA
IMO ITS PLACEBO
YOU'RE PUTTING OUT A FIFTH OF A HORSEPOWER -- THE MASS TO POWER OUTPUT RATIO IS SHIT FOR A HUMAN BEAN
YOU'LL BE ACCELERATING SLOWLY NO MATTER WHAT
WHEEL SIZE
BIGGER WHEEL HAS A SMALLER ANGLE OF ATTACK ON BUMPS, RIGHT?
BUT YOUR NOT IMPACTING ROOTS WITH YOUR RIM, YOU'RE EATING THEM WITH THE SOFT PNEUMATIC TIRE
WHICH IS WHY A LOT OF OFF-ROAD SHITBOXES HAVE TINY RIMS WITH BIG PUFFY TIRES
YOU CAN RUN 26" BMX TIRES AND GO JUST AS FAST EXCEPT THEYRE STIFFER SO IF YOURE HANGING A FUCKTON OF BAGS OFF THE FRAME YOU'RE LESS LIKELY TO FOLD YOUR WHEELS IN HALF ON A TURN
BY NOW I HOPE THE FAINT SILHOUETTE OF THE CLOWNCAR I DROVE TO HERE IS STARTING YO TAKE SHAPE
CHAIN GEOMETRY, CHAIN LUBES, CERAMIC BEARINGS, ETC
ITS FUCKALL BUT VERY SPENSIVE
THINGS THAT ACTUALLY DO CONTRIBUTE TO PERFORMANCE
A FUCKEN MOTOR
TRAINING
AERO
MUCH RANGE IS LOST TO AERO WHEN GOING FAST
THE FRAME AERO IS IMPORTANT-ISH, ITS MARGINAL
RIDER POSITION IS CRITICAL
IF YOU LOOK LIKE A CHROME HYPERBOLOID FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR SPACESHIP YOU'RE GOING GANGBUSTERS FOR SPEED VS A COMFY UPRIGHT POSITION
AERO RIMS, AERO SPANDEX HOMO SKINSUIT, DICKHEAD HELMET
RECUMBENTS ARE THE NEXT STEP, FAIRINGS AND VELOMOBILES ARE THE FINAL SOLUTION, BUT THESE WILL COST YOU ALL OF YOUR DIGNITY, -- PERMANENT TIMESHARE IN A LOCKER
RIDER POSITION
IF YOU LOOK LIKE A CHROME HYPERBOLOID FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR SPACESHIP -- YOU WON'T DRIVE FAR
ITS UNCOMFY TO DEAL WITH THE AERO SHIT LONG TERM
SOME SETUPS WILL HAVE YOU SO SCRUNCHED UP YOU CAN'T PUT OUT ALL THE POWER YOU COULD
CONVERSELY THE COMFY UPRIGHT POSITION IS NOT JUST A WINDBREAK BUT ALSO DOESN'T LET YOU INVOLVE YOUR GLUTES AS MUCH AS IF YOU WERE GETTING FUCKED UP THE ASS BY YOUR BICYCLE
TIRE PROFILE
KNOBBLIES ARE SLOWER THAN SLICKS, HARD RUBBER IS SLOWER THAN MORE SUPPLE TIRES. OT IS WHAT IT IS
