That just showed me the truth about weight. 20lbs mattered, but it was also 20lbs. Saving a few ounces for non-functional reasons? Meh.

Losing weight felt great every day though!

A stiff bike and stiff wheels (carbon/carbon), THAT feels amazing. Even a stiff vs. not so stiff carbon frame. Full gas at low speeds and you can definitely feel it.

Naturally.

I lost 20lbs and did the whole bike calc thing to see how much faster I'd be on a big climb-y race (10k' climbing) and the actual difference turned out to be half the result...15min vs 30 over 5:45.

Bike weight is a false God.

Total system weight is the eternal truth.

Within reason

Have you thought about not being weird?

It's just left libertarianism, falling victim to the same false assumptions

A phone should be able to connect everything, anything really...and run additional audio through the TV.

This is the shooting someone on 5th Avenue

He's going to go for it

Erg mode is the devil, learn to maintain power on your own so you can do it where it counts

Running Zwift on the Apple TV, not on your phone streaming to the TV?

It's really not, if only because that's not the point.

You coulda tried harder....

Yeah, just like you coulda tried harder to get into the Olympics

CN: Everyone is a strategic genius when they're not part of the decision process.

The market competition in healthcare should be effectiveness in care. More effective care doesn't drive income down, it allows more care overall.

Barriers to entry are good though

Remember when Hillary's speeches were a big deal?

He's too slick

He has a slightly disingenuous appearing slickness

Or is it improve prison conditions and it will be more acceptable to send white collar criminals to prison?

It's a little side game you can play, "dick or no dick"

There's always space for one more in front of the wall

I can't help but think that in the past there were consequences for acting like that

Nobody is going to come for me, but if they ever did, the people living around me are passive protection

The isolation is a bigger risk in the event someone wants to reach you.

What we need is to re-compartmentalize hobbies.

We'll call that "the couch effect"
