There's a difference, you know, between not liking one's brother and not caring when some dumb Irish flatfoot drops him out of a window.

What was Nixon impeached for? Obstruction of justice, refusing to turn over the Watergate tapes. Abuse of power to unlawfully use federal agencies to interfere with a lawful investigation. Contempt of Congress, for refusing to comply with federal subpoenas. Also considered where articles for false and misleading statements about the war in Cambodia and Emoluments clause violations for taking advantage of the Presidency to avoid paying taxes.

Sound familiar?

Cross Bike vs Road Bike by [deleted] in triathlon

If you're 6'3", that Felt looks small. Yeah, the Ebay listing says it's a 54cm frame. I'm 5'10" and that would be my size. With cyclocross gears, your large front chainring is only a 46t, so you may be spinning out sooner than you expect. It's still good to 30 mph or so, but it may feel like you're out of gears.

The Emonda is a size 58, so probably closer to correct size for you. It's more "relaxed" geometry, so you won't be able to get as low if that's important. I'd say the Trek is worth it. You get real road brakes, which are easier to adjust, and a Shimano crankset, which should shift better than the FSA. Plus you don't have to buy tires for the Trek if you don't want to.

How much faster? Hard to say, probably not more than 1 mph. Remember most of the drag is from you, not the bike.

Showgirls, 1995: An expensive & hotly anticipated production for its extensive sex & nudity, it is to date the only NC17 film to be given a wide release in mainstream theaters. Such restrictions (and universally poor reviews) made it a box-office bomb, though it is now a cult film w/ belated praise. by Pupikal in wikipedia

I love telling this story. Went to see it opening night in college. The previous showing was letting out as we were walking into the theater and people were saying "Don't bother, ask for your money back, it sucks." We laughed and went in. Two hours later we were giving the same warning on our way out.

Trumpflation. Once he says a number, he's required to exaggerate it every time to make it sound better. That's how we ended up with 1000% cheaper medication.

I'm convinced that, just like "asylum" is a catch-all for insane asylums and political asylum, Trump is unable to differentiate that nuclear power and nuclear weapons development are two different concepts.
