Sort-of grey area where things are neither pros nor cons:

I don't speak for trans people or make any decisions but here's my thoughts:

No, because the people who hold records are already freaks of nature. The common example is Phelps who is biologically built different.
Or cyclists with a VO2 max that is literally unattainable by normies.
Or quarterbacks with vision better than everyone else.
Or, or, or

We're already allowing people with unfair advantages to win everything, why would allowing trans people to compete suddenly change things—especially when they aren't even winning everything?

You know what I'm fine with? A playerbase that is regulated to only accept those who are biologically average.
Them's some sports i might actually watch, tell yew whut

This is what i always tell people.

The crash may or may not be your fault, but it is your problem. Your safety is your own responsibility.
No point in being right if you're dead.

It's just marketing, anyway. Stock trucks are garbage offroad.

Couldn't watch/listen due to the crackling in the audio.

"Fast" is always relative.

between 7.2 and 8.0

between 5.5 and 8.7

So slower by 0.7 sec? Unless only you are allowed to cherry pick from the data.

Pick a performance version

Okay then pick a performance ICE SUV to compare to and not a Subaru Outback.

Constant torque

This isnt the 1950s. Most vehicles have very flat torque curves when they're in the power and high gear counts in their auto transmissions to provide this, as well.

If you like EVs that's fine but the driving dynamics of EVs and ICEs is basically the same when actually in use.

I would eat better too if i followed a mealplan derived by a nutritionist and didn't prioritize cost over quality.

Friend had a get-together for the holiday and about half an hour before i was planning to leave i decided to see if the ol' pig would start. It's been sitting for at least eight or nine months.
Kicked it over a few times and it fired right up so i put air in the tires, got gas, and hopped on the highway.

What a machine.

My friend has like an acre or so of backyard with a creek and a bunch of trees and we have a little track going through it for the little bikes but it's so fun to stuff the big bikes through it, too. lol

Bikes in attendance!
Honda XR650R
KTM 500EXCF
KTM 250XC
Yamaha WR450F
Yamaha TTR110
Yamaha TTR90
Yamaha YZ80 (?)

[Picture shows the light centered on the seatpost using my 'fixed' housing]

The Lezyne Zecto Drive 200+ was designed to mount off-center on the seatpost of your bicycle, for some reason.
I did a very basic redesign and printed a new rear housing so it's mounted and centered properly.

You can see in the picture below that the groove for the seatpost in the Lezyne housing is offset to one side. I assure you: it is noticeable and annoying.
I designed a basic rear housing with a groove in the center to remedy the position and put band-hooks in mirrored positions on either side—another thing the Lezyne didn't do, for some reason.

This is V1 out of PLA Pro and if I like it i will ask a friend of mine to print it in CF-infused nylon.

I'm also planning a hard-mount version via a bolted clamp, because that's my style, but i didn't have the correct length bolts on hand.

I need to do more meal-prepping. I've been thinking of burritos or pasta.
There's a delicious (and easy!) veggie pasta salad i did once that's on my list.

What have you been doing lately?
Or just share your favorites!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the great suggestions! So many of these are getting added to my notes!

 
 

Looks like the first day is May 17 but there are more on the schedule.

So cool.

Thank you for sharing, everyone!
I'm slowly going through the comments and enjoying a variety of good and interesting music!

 

Because they're hill areas.

 

It just occurred to me that my internet dialect in my IRL dialect are slightly different in a few ways. Curious to hear others dialectal differences and thoughts on the subject.
