Glad you're okay, that's the important part! Bikes can be repaired or replaced, part of why they're so great! I actually don't really know my game plan for when I take a fall. What's going through your head?

THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES

This one always gets a chuckle out of me when I see how strongly people feel about it. Obviously if it's causing any issues while riding like in your case it's gotta go, but outside of that I don't even notice them on bikes half the time. I had to check my bike just now to see if I have mine on (I do 😅)

  1. Studies have shown that imposing restrictions like this decrease participation

This is also a big problem since cycling is a lot safer when there are more people cycling

There are dozens of us!

It feels like we're getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.

I cannot imagine that marginal calorie burn from the 1-2 lbs difference in frame material is going to outweigh the impact of manufacturing costs and longevity of steel vs aluminum, though I do agree that these should be likey addressed after bikes have the infra and adoption sorted out. E-bikes still represent the best solution towards replacing car trips for the average person imo

As you must know, In the upcoming draft San Jose is picking 4th, the highest pick they've had they selected Brad Stuart 3rd overall in 1998. Consensus is that while Michkov could be the best player available at that spot by quite the margin, a Carlsson or Smith might be safer bets due to concerns regarding Michkovs contract in Russia and some "character issues" that I haven't seen validated anywhere in my admittedly limited research.

My inclination is that the sharks can afford to wait for a player like Michkov as things stand now, and I think I would take him, but if I had to guess, I'd say they take Smith. I'm not super upset about this, but I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts on the pick?

This looks way better than it has any right to, I expected to hate this. Now I'm looking at fonts again reevaluating some shit

As someone with not a ton of exposure to this topic, it's heartbreaking to hear about the environment that these people grow up in, and how life they are robbed of by an institution of fear and control. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to break free of the cycle when everything and everyone you've ever known is working against you do hard. I'm glad that their children are thriving in school and showing them that all that effort and grief was for a reason.

The sign of a thriving guitar community is fools posting photos of their unmodded incredibly popular guitars, so it's an honor to be the first to share this photo of a JMJM here :P It's not even the more desirable model, it's a 2020, and I don't particularly get along with the ToM bridge, but it's mine and I love it all the same!

Not lurking is such a hard habit to break. Especially with the way Reddit sorts comments, I'm so used to clicking into a thread to find some insightful discussion or hilarious joke that had already been made. But I'm trying my best, even by writing this comment!

I'm relishing at the thought that the same greed and incompetence that might take the A's out of Oakland is causing problems for them in Vegas. The special session did not look like it went well at all.

The small part of me that hasn't been crushed under the cruel weight of reality is still holding out hope that they throw in the towel, sell the team, and new ownership negotiates properly with Oakland, but obviously not expecting it... yet...

Really hoping to see support for more of this style of development in the SF Bay Area. The Sunset District is notoriously low density and has been pretty NIMBY when it comes to building anything new in the area.
