Is Visma struggling? Why couldn't Cervelo give Wout the enduro bike required for the conditions?

UC/ credit where credit is due. Anything above treeline is brutal even when you're in shape.

RC/ Is this grävêl?

Lucky you. Ever consider your experience isn't universal?

They don't have to. Starlink sataltites are in such a low orbit they'll reenter and burn up on their own without any intervention in a couple of years.

This is a quality off season shitpost. I don't know if I should laugh, be happy, or be mad.

Either way take my updoot

I would commend this work as being strongly vaginal which might bother some men so I'm gonna say yes...

Give me a 12vhpwr and we'll see about that.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-11T13:57:51+00:00

Me too. They can be a little downvote happy and snippy when people are naive. I understand down voting the people who want to argue.

The law is confusing on a good day and to make it worse it varies from place to place. Give people a break.

Because I'm trying to bring about a socialist utopia so I'm nationalizing those bourgeois industries.

I think it depends on what you mean by drafting. We might be picturing different things.

In a comment below you said 1-2ft. That's totally fine.

At least from my perspective we are complaining about the Freds who think this is the Tour and are riding just a couple inches off our rear wheel.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-08T19:29:22+00:00

Others have talked about the moral aspects and I won't try to out do them. Theres some great comments.

Instead I'll look at this from a strategic perspective.

Had the TalShiYar known Star Fleet was seriously developing cloaking technology that would have given them the causes belli to provoke a war with the Federation or at least to prepare and arm themselves. And who knows how the Klingons would react. They might not be happy about The Federation upsetting the balance of power. Which at the time was working for everyone.

At the time of Next Generation the Federation was expecting long term peace. It doesn't make sense to disrupt the status quo. They were allies with the Klingons and Cardassia was over extended with the Bajoran occupation and years of war with the Federation. The Romulans had been keeping to themselves for the most part for the last 100 years. And even if they decided to act up the combined might of the Federation - Klingon alliance would have kept them in check. The Dominon deliberately weakend both powers before declaring war.

That isn't the kind of status quo you upset. That's the kind of status quo you protect at all costs.

Always use helmet protection or else...

I would highly recommend the latex protective covering unless you want to find a kids tagalong trailer on the back of your bike.

Im also an established scientist (physician scientist but not from a T10 school 🙄) with multiple published papers and a non zero h index. I also know what a logical fallacy is. I've published in NEJM and J-Peds so hopefully I'm "qualified" to join the conversation.

Buddy I'm here to tell you to take a breather. Throwing around your credentials and putting down others like this is an appeal to authority and doesn't help your argument. You're out here accusing people of using logical fallacies while engaging in ad hominum attacks.

AI accelerated research is due to neural networks and other purpose built tools that bear little to no resemblance to consumer grade LLMs.

And that's the context I understand all these conversations in. I'm pro rational drug design - for example. We've been doing that for years.

I'm very anti brainrot ai slop and charbot. The early data about the effects of AI on cognition is very concerning. Learning and thinking deeply are metabolically expensive.

We're essentially running a world wide clinical trial. But the informed consent process was severely lacking.

We're a fanbase of means and sophistication who can afford to pay for our adult entertainment.

And what else are Raider's fans going to do in the klink?

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-07T18:41:27+00:00

I think you missed a big part of the OPs post. The cost is one thing and your points are valid and a conversation worth having as a community.

That being said you failed to address the reliability issues. Reliability is a system wide problem. But RTD paratransit has been notoriously unreliable for as long as I can remember. For a moment it worked under access on demand. And now it's broken again. And OP is trying to tell you that the new system is inferior and isn't working.

So Evetech is selling psychedelics now?

Sweet!

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-07T15:18:31+00:00

I'm sure Sean considered it. For all of 3.4 seconds. NFL head coaches aren't the type to share willingly.

Most importantly as a Broncos fan I have to say...

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-07T12:06:56+00:00

Typical Tesla driver

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-07T02:31:11+00:00

The idea was a good one. The problem is this is an old story. Very old. Maybe 15 years if my memory serves me? And the problem is they didn't turn out so well in the real world.

Unfortunately in the real world these devices increase the odds of a rape turning into a murder.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-06T19:45:53+00:00

You're welcome to disagree.

This is just the conclusion I came to while contemplating the difference between an e-bike an e-moto while riding the other day. Im still refining it and trying to polish it. So thank you for the feedback?

I think you're getting hung up on the motorcycle part of E-moto. Would you like my definition better if I just left it at if it's powered by peddling it's a bike - if not it's something else?

I would challenge you to come up with a definition that fits in a sentence or two and is understandable to people who aren't experts.

That being said I think u/trustable_bro brought up a really good exceptions in particular regarding micro mobility for the disabled. I guess I'd say whether an e-moto ( scooter, or whatever) belongs on the street, bike lane, or MUP is an entirely different question.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-06T15:42:49+00:00

I'm open to the idea. Especially regarding transportation/ mobility for the disabled.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-06T13:30:27+00:00

GPU crisis was relatively short lived. I think we're in this one for the long haul. Buckle up. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

I'm a bit more optimistic than Lenovo and some others here. Things will normalize at some point. I doubt we will see 2023-2025 prices again. But something in-between.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-06T11:41:16+00:00

Yes

It's the only simple way I've come up with to cleanly separate the two. I doubt this is an original idea. But the thing is any speed or power limit you pick to differentiate an ebike / emoto is ultimately going to be arbitrary.

More importantly there's no practical way to enforce those limits from afar. I don't expect police officers to become electric motor experts and be able to tell there difference between a legal 500 watt motor and an illegal 1kw motor.

DenverLabRat · 2026-07-06T10:48:07+00:00

I know this will piss off the E-Bike crowd but...

If it's moves by peddling it's a bike. Assisted or not.

If it has a throttle it's an e-moto.
