That is some super dishonorable shit.

Brilliant, I'm sure the bald faced bigotry of their coworkers is really making gay/bi players feel the love.

Some of the largest nationwide protests we've ever had have been during Trump II. But the distances are incredibly vast.

The continental US is just over 4,500km wide, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, which are massive as well. While DC is populated, our country is large enough that it would take a six or seven hour flight to get there if you aren't in a hub city.

If you are, it's still over 5 hours of flying from L.A. to DC.

Driving from San Francisco, CA, to WA DC takes 41 hours, when at highway speeds. And that's without fuel, rest, or food. People are super spread out in a way Europe is not.

The real pain is people not voting. Voting could have saved everyone loads of trouble.

Their loss. You are a crazy SOB if you think I'm going to buy another ICE car in 2031 when gas is already past $5/gal in 2025. A kw of power here is 11¢.

This could be the basis of a really good comedy sketch

Not just America, this is a massive threat to world health. They betrayed our species.

Storage (tech), bike tires, many consumable parts. Almost all digital goods, too.

You definitely shouldn't be drinking that if your throat is swelling, carry Benadryl in your wallet in case you do. You should probably get an allergy test too...

This. And when we lift people up, it generally helps get people out of poverty and become contributing members of society.

It's not a hand out, it's a hand up. And for those that dgaf about helping their neighbors, it also is generally cheaper to help people once and get them squared away, vs being screwed up for life, committing crimes and using up tax dollars on police/justice/jail/cleanup resources.

In short, literally everyone should be on the same page. It's the moral and economically right thing to do, lol.

Only if nobody else is present. This is more for quiet city areas where you have a clear line of sight, and nobody is even around. If someone is at a stop sign, you legally have to stop too.

Chain is toast, chainring might also need to be replaced. The brake cable probably needs replacing if the brakes don't work. The brake pads might also need to be replaced, and both tire tubes probably either need to be replaced or patched.

If it's purely just for learning, go for it. But that might be a lot of money in tools / parts and a significant amount of time. I'd probably buy a bike that is less thrashed.

Fwiw, you can have a perfectly normal bike and still spend lots of time learning to fix it. I'd lean towards that, I think.

 

Even low-level government employees like elementary school teachers and nurses have been ordered to hand in their passports, to enforce “discipline.”


Only a matter of time till things start going this way. For Super Earth.

Of the 121 pedestrians killed in traffic last year, 120 were struck by a car while one person died after being hit by an electric bike, according to city transportation department data compiled by Transportation Alternatives.

 

TIL that crunches and situps are bad for your spine. And sitting for long periods of time.

 

Rocks gathered along the Colorado River contained evidence of a bustling community of animals in an ancient sea.

 

After passing a Dark Sky ordinance to curb light pollution and save energy, Pittsburgh is installing adjustable streetlights.

 

“Negative publicity may adversely affect our stock price, damage our reputation and expose us to unexpected or unwarranted regulatory scrutiny,” UnitedHealth noted in its most recent annual report. The company’s shares have declined 40 percent over the past year.

I use Transit, but I'm always curious what else is out there, particularly for bike navigation on protected bike lanes.

 

In an interview, Rob Kelly, the Kerr County judge and its most senior elected official, said the county did not have a warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending.

“Taxpayers won’t pay for it,” Mr. Kelly said. Asked if people might reconsider in light of the catastrophe, he said, “I don’t know.”

The National Weather Service’s San Angelo office, which is responsible for some of the areas hit hardest by Friday’s flooding, was missing a senior hydrologist, staff forecaster and meteorologist in charge [said].

That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees, according to a person with knowledge of his departure.

 

I found it while looking for outfits for pride, and I really like the look. If it helps, here's where I found the source image:

I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.
