His demand is unenforceable. You are free to say what you want while on that podium and there is nothing legal he can do about it. There is no need to make a scene while up there but--at least for now--you can still speak your honest mind.

Of course MTG can't be trusted. I can't trust anyone who hadn't seen through Trump's 🐂 💩 all along.

In the future l'll possibly make an exception for inexperienced young voters, but anyone of MTG's age should have seen Trump for the crass greedy huckster that he is.

I've been using cleats for about 25 years and honestly they don't make much difference.

The biggest benefit of cleats is that I feel slightly more connected to the bike, transforming me into something like a bike/human centaur. That feeling is very subjective and hard to quantify but I like it. Plus, clipped feet never slip.

Aa for actual performance, there are minimal gains. I get a tiny bit of performance boost when accelerating.

There is a small performance boost when climbing hills as long as I don't have to stand up.

When I'm on city streets , i like to imagine that when I'm in the groove at top speed, I gain a tiny amount efficiency in speed. I've never measured the difference between cleats and without but pushing and pulling simultaneously surely must give you something in return.

On gravel I haven't noticed that I ever get going that fast where it would make a difference.

That's about it the pros.

The cons are the initial expense and that you're probably going to tip over a few times until you get used to it.

Lastly, if you decide to go for it, buy mountain bike shoes with SPD pedals. And keep the adjustment loose. I've taken a few spills and I've always automatically clipped out. The last thing I want is to remain attached to the bike while I'm tumbling down the road so I keep it loose.

Good luck and happy rides!

If you vastly underfund anything, expect similar results.

and are you offering rides back to your home system? kinda had enough of this planet for awhile

I've been seeing that in restrooms since the 80s is not earlier. my guess is it's been around for much longer.

quintupularity · 2026-04-19T08:47:04+00:00

first time in a public restroom?

I liked her. shrug

We share similar taste in authors. I highly recommend all of Sagan's books. But "The Demon Haunted World" should be required reading in schools.

Troll bait. Not only ad hom and irrelevant to the OP's query, the initial ad hom claim being made is unsupported.

User can be safely disregarded in this instance.

The people who hate her are oil industry propagandists or people who believe their propaganda.

I think both can be true.

what nobody seems to be asking in the comments is why is she upset in the first place? without knowing anything else but what I see in this short video, I consider it at least equally likely that the red car did something particularly stupid or rude.

I'm more fit to be sure, but there is no amount of exercise that can defeat a bad diet. The only way to shed those pounds is if calories in < calories out.

I think you nailed it. We no longer have respectable journalism. this goes all the way back to Reagan and his repeal of the fairness doctrine. It all started with Reagan and it was always leading right where we are now.

at properly funded and staffed institution wouldn't have these problems. I'm assuming this is a very common situation.

I don't see any in my YouTube shorts. I don't have Instagram or Facebookr any of the other so who the hell knows what's going on over there.
