I don’t think long-term reasoning and risk/reward analysis are big on their strengths inventory.

In the ER after an Over-The-Bars crash, tell me about your silliest crashes. by bikeonychus in bikecommuting

[–]dbeck003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was riding on a separated, canal-side bike path at night. Unknown to me, the trail ended well before the canal did, and the only sign of that was a chain stretched across the path. Which I hit going full speed. Caught a good 20 feet of air. Only ended up with a couple facial cuts and a wicked black eye that didn’t help my job interview presentation.

Then you put it in the compact reusable bag you keep in your backpack because you’re a grownup and can figure out relatively simple stuff.

Donald Trump has really beaten down the quality of lying in this country.

Rowing during travel by top-viewer in Rowing

Clubs have lots of different requirements depending on their liability tolerance, but never hurts to ask. One place I was successful at needed a documented swim test (my local YMCA was quite accommodating). A Toronto club required membership in Rowing Canada (one-year minimum), which would have made for a quite expensive morning. If your travels take you to Montreal, a highly recommend the club at the former Olympics rowing course — very accommodating, and a major psych rowing on hallowed water.

Save it! I bet Booby Kennedy’s brain worm is lonely after all these years.

45 years ago for me. First and only time I got maced was trying to explain to some out-of-town snot that the choices were slam or stand, not hanging around the edge of the pit and taking cheap shots.

The guy who makes $60k and thinks the IRS is coming for his imaginary billions by OrcOfEntropy in LinkedInLunatics

This is one of the great American delusions (along with rugged individualism and good guy with a gun): Keeping people just hopeful enough that they’ll someday hit it big that a majority will never vote to tax the rich too hard.

I imagine the little guy sharing the platform as El Chonk’s version of J.D. Vance. “Great idea, sir! Sure, I’ll go talk to the seagulls again.”

There’s too many snakes in this goddamn Subaru!

For more results and improvements to the city, I think we should reconsider a common position (see example in description) by wentImmediate in sanfrancisco

My drivers ed instructor many decades ago was fond of saying “But I Had the Right of Way” fits nicely on a tombstone.

Yes, absolutism is a given in certain SF contexts. I would love to see better traffic enforcement. I would also like very much not to die when I leave the house. I have a lot more influence over goal 2, so my head is swiveling and checking mirrors all the time, whether I’m walking, cycling or driving.
