The other day a jeep wrangler swiped my car in a parking lot and drove off. I wasn't there but a kind bystander saw it and left their number and the offenders license plate. The damage wasn't small, but also small enough for me to shrug off because it's a 2014 golf wagon and in the end it's just a car.

But the hit and run pissed me off enough that I reported it. The cops found the driver who will be ticketed now and their insurance will go up. If they fessed up I'd have let it slide.

At least your dude fessed up. And yes, they'd all have a much easier time parking if they chose a sensible car.

I adore my aonijie multicolored aluminum poles. Best pole design I think I've ever used, and it's an original design.

My next tent will probably be a langshan. But I don't go out so often so don't need the best, and im short

I use a keyboard remapper to change the key next to space (windows maybe? Not at my desk) to control. So acts like cmnd. You could do the same in reverse on mac instead. I also recommend changing right opt on mac to forward delete. Gamechanger, that one.

While I story of understand you anger, as there are some fools out there that are using their illegal ebikes effectively as motorcycles on bike paths and sidewalks, they are:

1. In the vast minority
2. On a 60lb vehicle, instead of a 3000lb vehicle, and can do far less damage as a result.

If you're going to get angry, get angry at cars, car-centric infrastructure, and the fact that people on ebikes don't have the proper cycling infrastructure to stay separated from pedestrians.

I have a seriously hard time believing there's anyone dumb enough to buy that

Good on them. I don't have the appetite for risk right now to do this type of activism, as I have a family to think about, but I wish I had done more in my 20s (I did some but didn't raise enough hell), and I intend to do a shitload more after I retire, if we're all still around.

I'll take "last organisms standing on earth" for 100 , Alex.

I've always been fascinated by these things. When you think of the relatively miniscule amount of energy it takes for a cyclist to move along at 30km/hr, or an ebiker to move along at twice that speed, it's absolutely insane that we use 4000lb cars to move us just a bit faster still.

If we were all to drive around in 100lb electric velomobiles with speed limits capped at around 80km/hr, everything would work better. There would be fewer safety issues, road maintenance would become almost negligible, and traffic and parking would be largely solved

Obviously, highway vehicles and towing and delivery would all still be a thing, so this would need a completely separate road network and is basically impossible, but man are cars overkill for getting us from a to b.

In my experience - at least after my feet got stronger - shoes take away more stability than they add. You're on the right track with your other comments: you need flexible soles for lunges if you are going to take advantage of the full range of motion of your toes, and improve that range. For ohp, a wide shoe is nice as it helps your toes splay out and create a wide base.

I'm not sure where you are, but in Canada there are barefoot shoes on Amazon called whitin and joomra that are super cheap. I like the joomras more, they just seem better made, but both have very squeaky soles, which sucks. Still, they are cheap and feel great. I have 3 pairs: one for boxing and gym, one for town, and one tighter pair for baseball. Highly recommend.

I'm a big believer in barefoot shoes for lifting (and basically everything), and there is very little difference between all of xeros shoes. The running ones will be fine IF a barefoot lifting shoe is what you want. If you want a shoe with a big heel wedge, xeros are not it.

Maybe watch some YouTube videos on barefoot lifting before deciding. It's better for flexibility and range of motion and balance, but not necessarily getting the heaviest lift.

Fortnine on YouTube recently did a video on using a rugged android phone as a motorcycle computer. It could work well for bikes too. After watching that I looked into it, and there are quite a few options available at all different sizes, many under $200.

Maybe you or someone here can tell me why it's a bad idea on a bike

It would still show higher potential earnings, which is all investors care about. Even if they tell investors exactly why revenue is up, and they probably will, investors will see that and say "great! Guess premiums not coming back!"
