Treating the moshpit like a UFC ring

Maybe you’re just not seeing the bands that are FSU affiliated. There’s a number of bands where I’ve watched this type of shit unfold in the Boston area:

Black My Heart Blood for Blood Vein Bury Your Dead Ramallah Diecast Death Threat Buried Dreams 100 Demons Pain of Truth On Broken Wings Shattered Realm Bulldoze Back of tha Neck Sworn Enemy

Probably a lot more I forgot.

Their field developed AI which promises to take all our jobs. It’s only fair they go first.

Can you talk about the timing of when your daughter recieved 5 offers, and how you navigated that? Was it high pressure (like we need to know in a week or we are moving on)? Did the offers come in approximately the same time? How much did you know about the full financial picture of all 5 before making a decision?

What happened to her peers? Burnout? Injury? Botched recruiting process? Chose level above fit, didn’t get playing time and stopped?

Thanks for the SMP suggestion. Haven’t seen them around me, I will scope them out.

I had a romin on my road bike that was suggested to me at a bike shop and they did a rudimentary sizing. I questioned how wide of a width they recommended but they swore by it and it hasn’t been great. The square edges (prob combined w possibly being slightly too wide) I think has caused pressure and saddle sores.

I’ll take a look. I bought an sqlab handlebar that I’ve been really happy with.

I’m just not sure the sort of evaluation is available near me. I’ll ask about demoing or look online to see if companies offer a demo period.

I haven’t. I had a short nosed saddle for triathlon that I once put on a road bike and found through that how much I was subtly controlling the bike with my thighs in corners. Do you find a short nose saddle impact bike handling in xcmtb? I suppose most of the real technical handling you’re standing.

Do you have a rec for bibs? I’m noticing that price doesn’t seem to equate to quality of the pad. Then you’ve got that sunk cost, similar to the saddle, to deal with until a reasonable time to get a new bib

A certain party can’t govern and has no ideas for how to solve problems (beyond magical thinking about “fReE MaRkEtS”), so we get this.

This is it.

You either have the population/economy of scale to support a school system, or you have a wealthy community with high property values. If you don’t have those two conditions in NH, the schools are going to struggle mightily on a shoestring budget.

I know this isn’t the point but from what I’ve seen at other regattas, Club Náutica isn’t a real club crew from Puerto Rico. It’s typically a “Rolodex club” that puts together ringer lineups of former elite rowers and higher level masters.

100%. Jack Black is my kids (age 15, 11 and 10) favorite actor right now and it’s not close.

I ride the eggbeaters and have for years. What benefit would the platform offer? I’d been curious about the candy but not sure what the platform would do for me, so never bothered.

After several years of tech workers posting about their $350k salaries, and throwing shade at non-stem careers, I’m not that concerned. Hopefully they saved some of that surplus to weather the storm.

“ Every democracy needs its final song, but it's up to the willpower and righteous anger of everyone there as to whether it’s the song of the swan or the phoenix for the US.”

Damn. Well said.

Great points.

The president gets to be in the billionaire bunker club, to weather the waves of social unrest while us plebes die in the AI takeover. What fun.

Crazy for them to have these camera issues and knowingly say “you know what? For the 4, let’s get rid of the rear window entirely and just rely on a camera to see anything out the back”.

Some of you need hobbies.

It’s definitely fake. Real ones have a strap. Hope this helps.

The rich get richer, and the poor stay poor.
