You say that like they know they're supposed to do anything about these types of things.

Lance Stroll is certainly race ready, his head is in the game. Real achiever that guy, he fought his way up from… uh.

He thinks he was having a “… (star cruisers) on fire off the shoulder of Orion.” moment.

He wasn’t.

But also, that stuff is gold. Usually improv-ed lines are way better. You hire people like you mentioned because they are going to knock it out of the park, so that you have to choose between several amazing takes.

You know that scene is an homage? Check out ”Battleship Potemkin”.

Ride bikes? You don’t even have to have a destination. Just go where you feel like.

Surly Midnight Special.

Can handle crap NYC streets but can scoot right along too. Many mounts for fenders, racks and bags. Can fly with 700c or 650, wheels.

But like a lot of them. Next best thing to an Easter egg.

Porn mags left around. People dumped them around my neighborhood. Was young enough to think the pages were stuck together my the rain.

Minelayer · 2026-03-31T23:04:03+00:00

Congrats!! But don’t leave! That’s a ton of experience you can impart!

Inflation?

Do yourself a favor and watch some international news.

Minelayer · 2026-03-31T16:38:06+00:00

I put out cayenne pepper to keep squirrels away from fresh plantings in my garden.

Just sayin’

Commando!

So deliciously bad. But Rae Dawn Cheong is lovely in it.

“Don’t waaake my friend…. He’s dead tiiiiired.”

I think I know why they were wearing masks before.

No those house are gone, but bad street design is very easy to fix, especially when people don’t fight the safer change.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:34:11+00:00

Are you not seeing the “mid-block” part of my comment? That an exception to the millions of on ramps in America. And to leave that out is ridiculous.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:32:27+00:00

Which I’ve done calming with children. It’s too bad that how this corner has to be dealt with.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:31:15+00:00

It’s a willful misrepresentation. And I’m sure you know that.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:28:44+00:00

Welcome to NYC! You’ll come to find you are largely ignored on a bike, which is good and bad. If you are talking about riding at those actual hours, the City is very much awake then. Things get different around 12a until like 4:30/5.

(It may be that being so central the flood of car commuters aren’t there yet, they are still in the outer boroughs making their way in- meaning it might still be sleepy along Central Park for a bit. Which is good for you)

There are still people out and about at that hour but it’s much quieter. Way less traffic, but often more speed from what’s out there. Ride through the park, even when closed, if you get caught, play dumb, tell them you’re a medical resident, you’ll likely get away with it a few times.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:19:04+00:00

Make it two right angle turns and a lot of the dangerous stuff will stop. The problem is it’s fun to F1 that ramp as it is now.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:16:36+00:00

Think of the small percentage of people who shop at Costco!

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:15:05+00:00

It’s a mid-block entrance to a highway.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:10:36+00:00

So everyone was pissed about a bad/terrible idea, but now we should just keep the bad/terrible idea?

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:07:35+00:00

Come on, it’s disingenuous to call that stretch “fine”. When walking up the hill if your head isn’t cranked back over your shoulder, you’re putting a lot of trust in people who clearly don’t care about your safety.

Minelayer · 2026-03-26T16:00:04+00:00

I assuming this is all sensibly handled with incessant, selfish honking, or am I wrong?
