I've used Biosteel sports drinks, and they were great! They do have powder, too.
And all their products are now Made in Canada.
EDIT: I just looked up LMNT, and damn, do they add a lot of sodium to their drinks. I haven't honestly found anything with that much. I'd have to even look up what the negatives are of having that amount in a dose-bomb.
It does read like AI slop. Seeing how the thumbnails of the articles on the site also appear to be AI generated, I'm basically dismissing it all.
Return to office = return to distractions for most people.
If you want people to do productive work, you need to put them in an environment that gives them that opportunity.
If that's an office, fine. But if that's at home (a.k.a "Home office"), or at a cafe, or on the beach, that should be fine, too!
I see this pretty much every time I ride. Multiple times. 😮💨
Merz hailed the deal, which was clinched in a ballroom at Trump’s golf resort in Scotland, saying it avoided “needless escalation in transatlantic trade relations” and averted a potentially damaging trade war.
Nothing about this "deal" prevents Trump from being Trump.
EU caved, and that's a massive show of weakness.
Less really is more! LOL
Dr. Sbaitso never asked me to commit atrocities.
Oh, just wait. AI will all be tweaked to sell you shit.
It's only a matter of time before product placement in AI generated photos and videos becomes a thing, too.
"Stop the windmills", he said.
Wow, what a read!
I was never a Komoot user. What happened to them, and the direction they are taking, is bound to happen to any and all platforms where corporate greed is the driving force.
Every single place that mandated helmets (or heavily promoted) saw absolutely no reduction in death/injury.
There are too many variables to go over every country (i.e. mandated only for kids and teens). And even when they are mandated, compliance may still be low (B.C, Canada has helmet laws for all ages, yet compliance is <70%).
That said, every study I've seen, including meta-data analysis, shows benefit.
For instance THIS very recent study:
"The empirical evidence based on the real-world hospital and police data as well as biomechanical studies confirms that wearing a helmet while cycling is beneficial, regardless of age and crash severity, in collisions with others or not. The relative benefit is higher in high-risk situations and when cycling on shared roads. The findings from the meta-analyses studies that have been reviewed in this paper are remarkably consistent."
The classic example is Australia – it had almost no helmet usage prior to passing a nationwide law. The law was strictly enforced with extremely high fines, and yet there was no real change comparing before/after the law.
Wait, what? This Australia?
Quoting Professor Jake Olivier of UNSW’s School of Mathematics and Statistics and Deputy Director of the Transport and Road Safety (TARS) Research Centre:
"There was an immediate 46 per cent reduction in the rate of cycling fatalities per 100,000 population following the introduction of bicycle helmet legislation in Australia,” he says.
“This decline has been maintained since 1990 and we estimate 1332 fewer cycling fatalities associated with the introduction of bicycle helmet legislation to date.”
And you also have to consider that non-injuries (i.e. walking away from a fall because of your helmet) won't be reported, so the benefit may very well be significantly higher.
All I can say is that I'd rather be wearing a helmet than not, in the event that my head hits any object, at any speed. It's such a "set and forget" piece of gear, and I know people who have walked away from crashes (not involving cars, just crashes due to poor surfaces) yet their helmets basically crumbled upon impact. Way better than the alternative.
But you do you. I don't want to force anyone to do something they don't automatically see as a benefit on the bike.
As one study put it, "Unhelmeted injured cyclists were frequent commuter cyclists who generally do not regard cycling as safe yet choose not to wear helmets for reasons largely related to convenience and comfort. " 🤷♂️
That's rare.
I've checked out dozens of sites where pedestrians or cyclists were killed by drivers. Municipalities pretty much never make those areas safe. Not even with paint lines.
