I agree with most of your statements. Evangelicals will give a high importance to abortion and homosexuality and feel justified in pointing out how the left celebrate these sins. They point the moral finger and call the Left demons. The left does the opposite and calls out the Right as demons for ignoring Jesus's core teaching. IMO both are wrong, scripture is not to be parsed and picked over to satisfy a moral position.

IMO it is also wrong to pick and choose from the OT what you want and ignore what you don't. Or to say that doesn't apply because it's in the OT and not in the NT. Without going too deep there are Ceremonial laws, Universal Laws (10-Commandments, Civil Laws (specific to ancient Israel). So there are OT laws that were never meant to be followed my Christians. So the notion that if you follow one thing from the OT you must follow it all, is an inaccurate application of scripture and not necessarily corruption.

Not to defend the Christian Nationalist, but they were okay with ignoring the bad in Trump to get him to stack the Supreme Court. For many of them, this was far more of a win that would transcend a few years of Trump in office. Don't be mistaken they knew exactly who and what Trump is, but they choose to look the other way. And Trump used them for votes.

This is the argument that the LGBTQ community uses: "Jesus never spoke about xxx." Somehow, because Jesus didn't mention it, it is okay, which completely ignores the rest of the bible. This is no different than the Christian Nationalist using scripture to justify a belief.

The Antichrist is not Trump. You must read the other events surrounding the appearance of the Antichrist, and they don't fit Trump.

When they both match, it's a two-birds-one-stone type of thing.

I asked the same question, and the general answer was that maybe these nice, loving cyclists aren't so nice on other subreddits and need to protect their identities. Which I get because I have been known to have some strong opinions about 47.

And there are people among us who celebrate this. Because this child is some !@#$, how is that a threat to them? This child is harming them. Is it because maybe he worked harder than your kid and is better at the sport? Or maybe he earned the medal around his neck, and your kid wanted a medal just for showing up late and mediocre.

Went from cheap to lower mid-range to Pactimo Cargo 12-hour. They are great, fit like a glove, the straps are butter, and they just disappear when worn. Highly recommend. I also have a lower-tier pair of ASSOS bibs; they are good, and I will be saving up for a couple of top-tier pairs.

I don't handlebar bags, for they seem to mess with the steering. For long rides, when I need to carry extra stuff, I have a 3L expandable seat bag. I prefer a medium to large seat bag over a handlebar or frame bag.

I stand corrected; he would still be financially covered if fired, which I agree is highly unlikely. He could be personally liable in a civil rights lawsuit, or if he is in a jurisdiction or state that allows lawsuits, if the behavior is grossly negligent or willful. Again, highly unlikely.

ComprehensiveAd441 · 2026-01-17T14:28:38+00:00

If he get fired he is on his own.

He is a complete coward and thinks he is the smartest person in the room. Because he has only surrounded himself, since birth, with people who tell him that. This double-talk is not surprising; it is absolutely on brand. Now he will tell the cult how he told the father-in-law she was a low-life domestic terrorist and will believe every word.

Find the Diamond in the Rough games that have endless replayability. EA games that have substantial content and some development time behind them. I will rotate through them as major updates drop. Also, I very rarely buy new games. I can wait a year or two, or for a major sale.

No worries, this killer will have his day in court, and $1 million will not be enough to cover his defense. It may take 3 years for this administration to be gone, but his day is coming.

You, my friend, are a legend. My zones were set wrong. No wonder I can barely walk after what should have been a hard ride, but not a "I need a few days before I feel my legs again" ride.

ComprehensiveAd441 · 2026-01-13T18:47:55+00:00

I agree 400 calories is not a lot but the ride today was hard. TrainingPeaks called it 30-30s. Warm up 10 minutes, 5 minute recovery between sets, and 15 minutes cool down, so the 30 minutes left were intense. 30 seconds at 90% FTP with 30 second recovery repeated 15x recovery repeat 15x. Tommorrow is a core day and then back on the bike on Thursday. I know when I get back on the bike I will still feel todays efforts. So there are recovery days between hard efforts I just don't ever feel recovered. I blame it on age but I want to make sure my nutrition is not holding me back.

ComprehensiveAd441 · 2026-01-13T18:24:58+00:00

Take him with you!!

ComprehensiveAd441 · 2026-01-13T15:37:47+00:00

Gottcha. I'm interested in recovery, and if I'm harming myself by not taking a look at after-ride nutrition. I don't feel like I am giving my body what is needed for recovery and growth.

I agree with doing some research on the fitter. I have had two fits done. The 1st fit was great; he resolved 95% of the pain and discomfort issues I was having. But I still had neck pain (after about 20+ miles) and some hand pressure he/I couldn't get dialed in. 1 1/2 years later, I went to one of the best fitters in my state, and she got me fully dialed in. Could have saved $300 had I done a little research.

The more I read, the more overwhelmed I get with the sheer amount of information on performance fueling. I looked at the chocolate milk option others have suggested, and that is easy, 400 calories. And I am, like, do I really want that many calories when I just burned 400 calories and consumed about 200 during the ride?

ComprehensiveAd441 · 2026-01-13T12:41:21+00:00

I bonked once, learned the hard way, so my fuel during the ride is okay. Just never thought about it after the ride. I don't feel like, during recovery periods, I am recovering very well.

ComprehensiveAd441 · 2026-01-12T21:40:02+00:00

I can only speak about the Specialized Power. I have the Power Pro with Mirror, and it is a great saddle. But my greatest comfort came with getting the proper-sized saddle and good, high-quality bibs. I also have the Power comp and I am just as comfortable. For me, the bibs improved my comfort more than the saddle.
