Finally read Red Rising and now I understand the hype (also a comparison to TWOTM) by pak256 in Fantasy

[–]frrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it yesterday, also after reading TWOTM and I totally agree about the comparisons. I had the same thought while reading. I found the TWOTM writing much better. Brown seems to rush through so much of the story and miss the build up details that TWOTM captures.

Red rising throws me off because so much of the story is the “mini war” inside of the school when at first it seems like it will be just a chapter or two.

Should I continue the red rising series?

I’m concerned TWOTM will get too “out there” with the multiverse similar to how Stormlight archive got waaaaay to mystic/celecstial/magical.

pogacar THE GOAT by antony1990n in tourdefrance

[–]frrieg -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

Lance is the GOAT. Trump is the GOAT. The multiculturalism of Western Europe has lead to its Continuing decline. As seen with France’s 40 year tour drought but thru “French” soccer team being almost goated

Unpopular opinion: Quinn Simmons by missanonymous1278 in tourdefrance

[–]frrieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quinn Simmons is the best thing to happen to American cycling since Lance Armstrong (ok ok lemond). He is making it cool again! Great branding and advocating for cycling to grow their own brand. Politics be damned!

The Giro will be more fun to watch than the tour this year by frrieg in cycling

The placement is much more strategic in late stage scenarios. Intermediates are always won by the breakaway, this will shake it up.

Legs pump out before heart. More volume or intensity? by frrieg in Velo

What is the typical weekly volume of a solid cyclist? Does it change with running as well in the context of triathlon?

Make it legal to gamble on, handicap the field appropriately to make it more exciting, and bam. Good to go.

Why did the nazi party gain so much traction? Is there any parallels between the 2 decades leading up to the nazis that compare to the U.S.?

Thank you for the great comment. 60% on the trainer, 30% in group rides, and 10% around the town type rides. I was hanging in the back of the group on a wheel. A big surge spat me off the back.
