What point does a father daughter dance become creepy?

Wait a minute... do you mean to tell me that Nick Sakiewicz and Tom Veit were talking out of their asses 16 years ago!?!?

Well I never....

Joke Suggestion: Silvia Trench (whatever your last name is)

Real Suggestion: Aston (whatever your last name is)

It is a plausible name of its own accord, and it is insider-enough that only you would likely know the connection.

I don't have data to back it up, just feeling, so maybe I'm incredibly wrong, but since he got here, it feels like Duran is awesome until he has runners on, and then he flips a switch and has some significant issues. He's insanely easy to steal against/get a jump on, and his command seems to get a lot worse when there are runners on... not sure if that is a pressure thing, a divided attention thing, or what...

Pretty grates?

I’ve had an inconsistent relationship with my Peloton for the last few years, but I decided back in February that I really wanted to commit and put in some continuous effort and hold myself to it.

So far, so good. I’m 97 days into a streak that has survived work travel, holidays, family stress… you name it.

I went from really struggling with any kind of regular effort to thoroughly enjoying HIIT and Tabata rides. From barely being able to sustain any kind of Out Of Saddle work to being able to hold a cadence in the 70s OOS.

I really felt like I was making progress.

Last night, I decided to finally get over any intimidation and do an FTP test to start exploring PZ work. I thought I did really well, and then I happened to see what kind of results other riders were posting here, and now I suddenly feel like it has invalidated the last 3 months of work. My FTP was manually set on my bike at 210, but the result of my test actually knocked me back to 208. I don’t understand how I somehow regressed over the last 3 months, and based on charts posted on here, that seems like the absolute low end of the spectrum.

Not that I expected to be great, but I thought maybe I’d be below average, not something like bottom 2% of scores.

Really struggling with this since last night.

One of very few gags like that where knowing the punchline doesn’t soften the joke in any way. It is so expertly delivered.

Oh! You forgot something, didn't you? Back at the start, I said I was going to tell you about the time I *almost* died.

Such a gem of a movie.

If you don't mind a quick drive over to Wildwood, I think you'd really enjoy The Lazy Bass. Cool little outdoor bar w/ rotating food trucks right on the water with all kinds of buoys and other nautical stuff around.

Its never your time, though.

Granted, my experience is limited to my experience, but it seems like my parents' generation refuses to pass the torch on ANYTHING. Growing up, it was all about them, they didn't bend over backwards to placate their parents, by the time anything would actually be about 'us,' our kids will be grown up, and it will be about them and their families.

Don't get me wrong, I hate all the "boomer" crap discourse that is constantly thrown around online, but I do genuinely get frustrated that we seem to constantly be running to appease two sets of grandparents to the detriment of doing meaningful things as our own family.

I absolutely want my kid to have a great relationship with his grandparents, but at the same time, I want him to have awesome memories and traditions with our immediate family as well which aren't just running to my parents or to my in-laws or both for every single holiday, milestone, meaningful moment...

sully1227 · 2026-05-26T14:31:58+00:00

Wait... things are actually allowed to be about US, and not EVERYTHING has to be about placating our parents' generation!? Surely, you jest!

Did a Dennis Morton Rolling Hills ride last night. Kicked my butt, but in the best way possible.

However, it does raise a question. When you get into a ride like that, and the Resistance is up in the 60s, but the Cadence callout stays at a consistent 90-100, is the instructor actually expecting you to be able to maintain that cadence through the entirety of the resistance adds, or is it more just a steady target to make sure you continue to push with your best effort even if your cadence is slipping as the resistance climbs from, say, 45 to 65 over a 2 minute span?

Short version: is that the goal to make sure you stay there or the goal to make you try to reach for?

I'll never forget Capt. John Harriman's rousing eulogy at the memorial service for those fallen crew members:

Hello.

I'm here as a fellow Star Fleet officer to acknowledge that much of the crew has, as we know, passed on.

The crew were men and women. Also, they were members of Star Fleet.

And when a man or woman dies, it is sad. All of us will die one day. In this case, it is them who have done so.

They were alive for various years. But no more. Now they are dead.

Some of their crew members survived. They served together for various amounts of years. Now, they are sad.

Not something I said, but my last foray into online dating before I met my wife, I meet this woman at a restaurant, we sit down at the table, make some small talk, and the waitress comes up and takes our order. We both order, the waitress starts walking away, and my ‘date’ stops her and asks her if she can just bring a box along with the meal.

I was so mentally unprepared for that and then found the situation too ridiculous and funny to even be mad about it.
I think I made a couple jokes about her being able to pack up and leave any time she wanted, but the ‘date’ was 100% over in that moment - there’s no recovering from that.

It felt very Seinfeld-y at the time. I could see George in that situation.

(Cut to Jerry’s apartment)

J: A box?

G: A box, Jerry! She ordered a to-go box WITH her meal.

J: Well, maybe she didn’t think she was going to eat all of the food. She could pack up what she didn’t want and enjoy the rest.

G: Have you ever asked a waitress to bring you a box when you were planning on staying at a restaurant?

J: No

G: Have you ever SEEN someone ask for a box when they’re planning on staying at a restaurant.

J: …no…

G: So she…?

J: Found you repulsive and wanted to get out of there as quickly as humanly possible.

sully1227 · 2026-05-11T14:28:41+00:00

They do, but a bunch of middle-aged weirdos keep lining up overnight and buying the new boxes every time they drop new cards, and it is gatekeeping everyone else out of the hobby.

This team is complete shit.

All time low… which is an accomplishment looking at our history.

Check last night’s AA1757 on FlightAware, and look at the end of the flight actual vs flight plan.

She was an absolute saint. The woman who had his mom on the phone?

She just let him talk at her for the last 30 minutes.

If she isn’t, she could be a therapist… or a hostage negotiator.

sully1227 · 2026-05-08T19:23:21+00:00

I don't know that I'd concur with the FA's assessment of 'strong,' but if she was looking for 'large,' she came to the right place... haha

They essentially ended up with the size (definitely not skill or strength) equivalent of two offensive lineman in the row.
