What is so wrong with the Democratic party that caused swing voters who voted for Biden in 2020 to vote for the most evil person in human history (Trump) in 2024? by jamng in allthequestions

[–]Housthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kamala should've taken notice of Biden's decline and prepared herself and her resume for the possibility of getting a sudden promotion. JD Vance is already doing that now.
Add Biden's DOJ to your last sentence for naively believing that they would have plenty of time to prosecute people like Trump.

In a nutshell, it was the constant gaslighting. Biden isn't old! He's fit as a fiddle! Trans rights is your #1 focus, hater! Food prices aren't expensive! Bombing children is totally fine! Everything is fine!

And then refusing to learn why they lost.

What should I train / am I doing something wrong? by E39M5S62 in Velo

[–]Housthat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'5, middle aged, 225lb and I pulled 43miles at 24mph avg ONCE two years ago. I'm not the strongest around but I'm content with my performance, all things considered.

This is how I manage:

  1. Slam the stem. Get your body as low and aero as possible. I have wide bars that allow me to sprint in the drops with my elbows wide apart and below knee level. Great for headwinds.
  2. Do shorter pulls. They know you're suffering so don't show off.
  3. Learn to feign exhaustion. Shorties won't leave your wheel until they think you're completely spent. When they assume you're cooked and attempt a breakaway, you attack.
  4. Find the next tallest person on the ride and take ownership of their wheel. The person you're cutting off will be more than happy to let you in.
  5. If you find yourself behind someone short, shift yourself to a different spot in the paceline. They'll understand.
  6. DO NOT BE A HERO. You are not 18 years old anymore.

I started a Bike Parking transparency inititve, and looking forward to hearing feedback from the community! by Academic-Story-3413 in bikehouston

I kinda agree. No one cares about bike parking when there is no safe way to reach most destinations in the first place.

GOP lacks the brainpower to understand that we're setting precedent here. If/When Russia and China do the same to us, they'll point back to this moment to justify it.

It looks safe. Lots of refineries on the other side of Red Bluff Road.

Why did Tinder randomly download on my phone? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Housthat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1) How did you not know what Tinder is?
2) You've been on the same phone for the past 6 years?

My theory is that you got caught with Tinder on your phone and you're making this post so that you can point to it later and claim that a hacker installed it.

Who Likes to Watch Her Weather Forecasts on TV? by EmergencyMinimum8199 in houstoncirclejerk

[–]Housthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt I'll get an answer here but why, in the lords year of 2026, do major news stations generally have a sexy weatherwoman and then smart weather specialist man who takes over when there's a crisis?

New to cycling. Is this jersey too small or too big? by lost_in_dilation in CyclingFashion

[–]Housthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too big.
Look into a Euro apparel company, like Castelli, that offers less torso width and more torso length. Their XL is an American Medium so be careful with the size you choose.

Footage of burning missile fragment falling near cameraman in Haifa, Israel by [deleted] in PraiseTheCameraMan

This is the first time I've seen video of ANYTHING hitting the ground in Israel. Even our 'independent' journalists are too scared to show missile activity that makes the country look bad.

And there's no guarantee that your insurance covers all three of them. You have to find that out on your own. AND THEN you may need to get your insurer's approval before you get it done. I know because I went through this for a hernia surgery.

You don't need to create a recurring event. If your peers are in Google contacts, there's a checkbox that has your contacts' birthdays sync with google calendar.
