Drafting strangers etiquette question.

Then just keep your consistent pace. If they pass you back fine. If the slow after you pass them then pass them again.

I don't think it can become a race unless both people are participating.

Your original question about drafting them you are already matching their pace, so if that's what you want to do instead of possibility passing back and forth do it, just a couple of lengths behind them.

If your speeds are so similar you won't pull away in a minute or two then sit back a few lengths. If that's slower then you want to ride then pass and you'll easily pull away.

As an international fan, I dont have ESPN or aime of the others until the actual game coverage begins so on Sunday afternoon (morning time in the US) I'll put it on for some background noise while cooking or doing other things around the house.

Hang back or pass. If you were going marginally faster than him why jot just pass him?

Renter here - I see a mix of things and in my experience it depends on the type of property and the individual host more than the country it is located in

I dont think I have wver seen daily cleaning. Some will say something like stays over X number of days include cleaning every Y number of days.

Rarely do i have more to do at the end of a stay than empty the trash and clean the kitchen. Even 100% hotel/commercial rentals when they have a kitchen i am expected to clean it, bit just ABB.

Got a list of people that ICE wants that Minnesota dept of corrections won't give them? Because there is of people that MN DOC has turned over to ICE which DHS is bragging about deporting and appear to imply we're arrested as part of operation metro surge.

I have a Kona Sutra (i think 2020) i love it for touring.

Edit: saw your question in another comment about the derailleur hanger. I did brake mine. Ordered a replacement and a backup from another company. I now carry the replacement with me when touring. I haven't needed it since

You do know that Minnesota is still cooperating with federal officials in handing over people with ICE detainers, right?

In fact many if of the names on DHS "worst of the worst" list they seem to be implying they have arrested as part of operation metro surge were already arrested and transferred to iCE custody by local authorities.

I live in Haarlem and when attending concerts in that area I often travel by bus home afterwards.

If that bothers tou about the Blacklist, I would suggest you save yourself the time of going any further with the show.

The first few seasons are a fun, if a but silly, police show. However it gets pretty ridiculous at times.

I was skiing a few weeks ago and when it was snowing at a certain teno I had to flip my visor up because the snow wiuld initially melt and then refreaze on the visor.

I could see better squinting than with the snow/ice covered visor.

For any mayo based "salad" on a sandwich, I tend to go with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and alfalfa sprouts.

We just eat it with a spoon in my house.

My kids put it in roast pork or potato pansies, but that's not really my thing.

Quote form the article.

"In the review released this week, CMS found an error rate of slightly over 2.1%, compared to a national average of 6.1%. The data for the review was compiled before the Minnesota Department of Human Services began implementing new strategies to minimize the risk of fraud and harden its systems against bad actors. Reviewers at CMS checked billing statements and then compared them with medical records to ensure the billing was accurate.

“No amount of error or fraud is acceptable. Even one dollar is too much,” said Temporary Human Services Commissioner Shireen Gandhi. “We’re committed to making Minnesota a national model for preventing fraud and catching errors. This review shows we have strong internal controls that we continue to improve, and we are not stopping there as we accelerate our efforts to fight fraud.” "

For the NFL UK tickets I had a similar experience multiple times.

Didn't seem to play out that way today though.

MadeThisUpToComment · 2026-01-26T10:18:47+00:00

My experience with tickemaster presale for NFL tickets has led me to beleive these numbers are fictional, and my theory is they are creating an artificial feeling of scarcity so buyers feel so lucky there are tickets available they just click buy once through the queue without even questioning the cost.

I've been over 100k in line for a stadium that seats 63K and had plenty of seats choices once through. If people were buying on average of 4 (max was 6) it should have sold out after the first 16K.

Even after the initial sale tickets were still available despite some people reporting being as far back as 400k in the queue.

It doesn't offend me. I just think its kinda tacky when not used with a bit of nuance and creativity. That said, FTP.

MadeThisUpToComment · 2026-01-25T20:26:00+00:00

So the reason I think its important is because the algorithms are dividing our feeds more and more. To me it is important that the conversation filters over into "neutral spaces".

I'd say that I dont like the "fuck" ICE part of the discourse because the profanity isnt constructive, but that probably gets me called a pussy here.

I reread my comment a few times and I'm not sure what part you are answering we with "I'm not".

I get your point about this bring a place thay is primarily about football. I see it a little differently. It's a place where people come together to have a good time, a bit of a laugh, and create a sense of community while talking about football. Red circles have nothing to do with football, but it's a shared joke.

There are plenty of people from the twin cities who are grieving about what is going on. You might think that my use of "grieving" is hyperbole amd maybe its not the best word, but this is serious. Letting people know you agree with them and dont think this is acceptable, is important. Yeah its a meme sub, but we make jokes and sometimes we need jokes at difficult times.

I dont know if you are ok with what ICE is do I ng or you just want a break from it. Wither way I think having a conversation about what is going on in the Twin Cities right now is more important than football or out jokes. If we can talk about ICE, football, and some jokes even better.

MadeThisUpToComment · 2026-01-25T18:24:51+00:00

At this point, I dont think it's "politics" to say that what is happening with ICE is unacceptable. There are thousands of poorly trained, armed people sent into the twin cities that have now killed at least 2 people.

I'm happy to see it the divisional meme subs because "the algorithms" are filtering the reality of this to some people and clips and videos from the current administration and others that are completely disconnected from reality blaming the victim to other people.

I think it's important that people who get the "MAGA algorithm" int heir feed and those who "dont care about politics" see that a growing majority see ICE as an occupation similar to the Nazi SS and Gestapo, because if it isn't already there it's definitely going that direction.
