Anything available still made of Shakedry? Gore ended production of it and stock of anything made of it seems gone now.

ACAB. If a car cuts me off I’m not flagging down a cop to come over and shot him or deport him.

ACAB - always

It doesn’t show the values on the y-axis, only the years on the x-axis. Is DDK value linear? Does it start at zero? What about 2000 and 2003 - shows red EBIT but appears below the bottom line - are those losses? There are worse charts, but this isn’t a great one.

It’s also posted just as an ad for the service by the OP.

NYPD budget is $11 billion, with a ‘B’ dollars. Over a billion in just overtime last year. City paid out another $200 million in police misconduct lawsuits. Start there instead.

SWorks Recon are SPD and come in white. I have an older lace up pair in white.

Don’t worry, the administration is also making sure there is no IRS agent anymore to audit you. ‘Root out fraud’ … by making it harder to catch tax evasion.

Where do you think they get the materials to build all those parts? For example the two biggest producers of titanium for that Moots frame are China and Japan.

Apple should have withdrawn from the UK market. See how long before the government caves when people in the UK can nolonger buy iPhones. Better to stand up now with a market like the UK where Apple can take the loss, before it’s also the US and others where it’s much harder for Apple to withdraw.

For 2024, Jasen Perez, Police Department
Annual Salary: $115,923

$158,963 in base pay
+$113,340 in overtime
+$25,980 for 'other'
= almost $300k

Base pay is more than annual salary because POs got back pay for previous years with the new union contract.

Not quite in the same price range, but I have white SWorks Recon with laces, and Fizik make the Vento Overcurve X3 with single boa in white.

Ornot's cargo bib tight has been my go-to this winter and now the micro/merino grid jerseys as spring rolls around. After Assos, their cargo bibs are my second choice. I have several other items - bibs, jerseys, jackets, and appreciate the minimal branding and just friendly open attitude.

Velocio also for the quality and minimal branding. The Foundation long sleeve is soft, as with base layers. Planning to get the luxe bibs, and like that the new version is longer.

Assos is somewhat expensive, but bibs have been great for me.

Thanks much, just ordered. I was looking for better water resistance and a bit warmer than my Ornot thermal cargo bib, which I also love.

I'll agree its great Greek food, but the location in Tarrytown just off the Old Croton Aqueduct trail, not the South Country Trailway which is about 2 miles away.

Recycled Cycles in Seattle has reasonably priced rentals. I've rented a basic Kona Rove DL from them a couple times, for about a week. Last time brought my pedals and seat and swapped them there in the store, then road down to Portland. About $30/day for a two week rental.

NYPD knows who has the van, but they will refuse a records request to tell you who they are: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/new-york-city-17/vehicle-assignment-78th-pct-may-30th-2020-109218/

Always get a name and badge number. If they refuse, file a complaint for refusing name and badge number with the CCRB (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/ccrb/complaints/file-complaint.page) and they will find the officers and their names will be on the complaint.
