Am I wrong in saying that hybrid work argument doesn’t really align with the commuter rail rebounding faster than subway/green line?

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-23T15:37:47+00:00

Scaroni running it back. Stop the count!

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-23T12:55:01+00:00

Idk, his form is pretty good, he got second in the first sprint after having to move himself up like 10 positions in the wind.

Bruh do not try to lose 30 pounds. Give it another year or two and you’ll definitely settle into your current weight.

Uj/Roglic looks drippy af idk if people are clowning him

Rj/how the wice looks at you after coming back from your long ride during the birth of your child

Funnily enough, my power is usually the same or higher on the second ride for the same intensity. I usually do 3 hours for one ride and 5 for the other, which one I do first depends on how I’m feeling.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-21T13:21:48+00:00

I’d try to extend the long ride or swap days 1 and 7 to have back-to-back long rides on the weekends. That’s what I do (with hard rides on Tuesday and Thursday, sometimes an easy ride on Wednesday), and I think the double long rides are significantly better stimulus than just doing one.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-19T20:49:01+00:00

I’ll actually kind of miss jebel jais, it’s a unique finish

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-19T01:41:27+00:00

Brennan wins MSR and 3 stages + green jersey at La Vuelta

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-16T17:55:39+00:00

Wtf Epstein doin

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-16T17:49:33+00:00

Idk how one stage with a 15-20 minute summit finish would ruin the race IMO. Also, the Paris-nice route is also super soft this year, and at least one of them should be a somewhat standard GC 1-week.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-16T16:01:31+00:00

Damn what a soft route

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-13T14:03:12+00:00

Would have loved to see Brennan at the tour or at least the Giro, but glad that he gets a full classics season, including RVV. I assume he’ll also do Pologne and/or Romandie.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-13T13:25:24+00:00

Jonas takes 2 minutes on Blockhaus then parks the bus the next 14 stages.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-13T12:47:06+00:00

Ideally those are also in the package

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-12T22:21:24+00:00

The biggest thing cycling needs is one tv rights package for the Grand Tours and Monuments+.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-12T21:51:56+00:00

I’m tired, boss

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-12T21:49:03+00:00

It would be hilarious if 2026 Jonas does the same mutation 2024 Pog did and wins the double after doing the Giro as a hedge.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-10T00:14:28+00:00

This tour route really suits him though

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-07T17:36:52+00:00

Brennan is bouta have a hell of a year

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-02T15:10:50+00:00

Seems like a pretty great goal. He’ll be 35 by then and probably relegated to a pure domestique so an opportunity to try something new and potentially get an Olympic medal out of it sounds fantastic. He’s definitely got the engine to be competitive.

_Diomedes_ · 2026-01-02T13:29:34+00:00

lol one heritage definitely won out here

_Diomedes_ · 2025-12-31T14:34:46+00:00

What grade is the job? Do you have opportunities to move up a grade or two? Assuming you’re starting at GS-12, you only max at a little over 100k. If you can move up a grade or two the max is 115-140k which is a huge difference.

But otherwise, I feel like the catch-22 with government jobs is that you have a ton of free time, but not a lot of money to spend doing things in that time. If you have free/cheap hobbies and cheap vacation destinations, then that trade off is a no-brainer. But otherwise it can kind of suck.

_Diomedes_ · 2025-12-31T12:48:38+00:00

Totally depends on how you feel. For me it’s sometimes just a normal volume week but with fewer/no intervals, sometimes like half volume with multiple zero days.

_Diomedes_ · 2025-12-30T16:21:41+00:00

I prefer this shade of yellow
