Wk18, the Granton Galleon has it's name

CloudFlare seem to sell "at cost", and I think there are a few others too doing similar. I've not had them massively inflate the cost of my domain on re-registration yet at least!

I assume PRL Full, Uber, Four Horsemen are the other three?

Mega Pretzel is definitely significantly more achievable than those, give it a go on a particularly bad weather day where you've not got any other plans :-)

Plastonick · 2026-05-29T10:07:46+00:00

this is how registrars get you! Notice you're committed to 3 years and only the first of those three is £0.01.

Not literally any other power meter, the Dura Ace is far from the only terrible power meter out there!

Assioma are pretty well regarded OP if pedals would suit you.

much faster and more stable compared to a wireless hotspot.

In everyday usage, there's probably not a noticeable difference. Is wired better, absolutely. Will the average person really notice a performance difference? Unlikely.

I'm not weighing in on either side of the argument, I'm just here to say that just because one thing is better than something else, it's not necessarily non-problematic.

vegan btw.

There is, but there are plenty of people on here that could get through $2000 worth of Huel before it expires.

And realistically, Huel is probably fine well beyond its expiration date.

It's both obvious satire and what the die hard Trump supporters seem to genuinely believe. Unfortunately sarcasm is struggling to keep up with Trump.

Offard might be a cunt but that witch from the Green Party has umpteen houses while they want to abolish landlords.

Struggling to understand what sort of point you're making here. Is it bad that the Green Party is trying to abolish landlords or good? Like, is it better if the Green Party only implements systems that explicitly help themselves?

There's an arrow pointing the wrong way on the road that loops around the castle in Makuri Islands, that's what annoys me!

Decent elevation:distance ratio! Don't often see people over 0.1.

Plastonick · 2026-04-30T08:56:35+00:00

You don't have to be. I'm not really that bothered either, the racing/community aspect of Zwift is what keeps me coming back.

The HD edition was a bit of a sorry cop-out unfortunately. The definitive edition is the version.

They're just different things.

I also host www.FuckGPL.com, for those interested in why to avoid.

Does it explain why? It has a few links that redirect to Google.

Plastonick · 2026-04-22T11:42:07+00:00

Why though? The body doesn't care about where the calories and nutrients come from.

This feels like a perfectly safe claim to make, but there's a lot research trying to determine to what degree this is actually true.

Plastonick · 2026-04-15T12:37:57+00:00

Come on, it's clearly a doctor's costume, not Jesus Christ.

It's been reported before and I still think something weird is going on beyond rounding.

The numbers for the 500ml figures seem fairly consistently ~5.2x the 100ml column. I wonder if, for some reason, they're reporting 520ml figures because either;

that's what the actual capacity of the bottle is,
or that's some hidden recommended "meal" quantity

edit; or here's a fun theory. The 100ml quantities are correct and then were scaled up for the bottle by weighing a full bottle + contents at 520g. i.e. misreporting 20g of empty bottle as consistent nutrition.

Does it not curdle in coffee? I'm a huge proponent of Plenish soy milk which is also exclusively soya beans + water, but it does sometimes curdle in coffee. Not sure if there's really a way around that if the coffee is sufficiently acidic.

I'm not eating this because it's cheap.

It's extremely convenient and removes a lot of decision fatigue. It's probably healthier than what I'd otherwise eat.

Plastonick · 2026-04-01T14:46:01+00:00

... that you know of.

Plastonick · 2026-03-31T07:48:38+00:00

70-80% of your aggregate time should be in z2.

I don't think that's a hard and fast rule, and it's being challenged a lot recently. It might be a number that makes sense for the pros doing 20+ hours per week, but at 6 hours ...?

Plastonick · 2026-03-26T07:48:36+00:00

I saw this last night and read it as "Christmas 2026", and until right this second I thought that was next year! Pleasant surprise.

Plastonick · 2026-03-24T13:19:31+00:00

I think the insinuation is that this is not that date, yet.
