It's much more interesting than I thought. I am still somewhat bewildered by some of the strategies though.

We should start a band called "Trampled by Tabbies"

That's terrible. Car safety technology is supposed to be improving but it seems like fatalities of cyclists and pedestrians is only going up.

Personally, I think we need a camera inside the spinning stone. #stonedcam

Microbial methane researchers, we welcome feedback on our new preprint "Anaerobic methane oxidation by ANME-2a at two molar chloride in Orca Basin" and a potential new halophilic sulfate-reducing bacterial partner, available here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

If only we could train them to attack ICE.

Oops, my mistake. Thanks for the correction. Old neural circuitry got a little mixed up.

Really a lot and some of it could well have been prevented with some common sense masking etc..

I like Visma, but it doesn't seem good to be shedding riders and trainers at the beginning of the season.

I'm watching curling instead. It's actually quite a bit more interesting and I'm being totally serious.

Which one are you - regular or goofy? If you have someone push you, which foot do you catch yourself with. It has no bearing on ability - Tony Hawk would be an example of goofy greatness.

That term for right-foot forward goes way back to the surfer days and was then translated to skateboarding, snowboarding etc.

Ever play Spirit Island? In it, you play spirits defending the island against the colonists. The theme is cool but more importantly, it really is probably the best conceived board game in terms of rules and design that I've played.

Once it's at that point, I'm usually using pogies, which I find super helpful.

Isn't it a national security issue to have some "staffer" posting on behalf of the president?

I kind of liked it. A couple of his wins I remember standing and yelling at the screen because I thought they would get caught and he would dance across the line just in time. There's a beauty in that I think.

If you could name a single trick you are most proud of learning/landing, does anything come to mind?

Exactly. There are major national security risks associated with having a president's social media account being run by some flunky. But then again, there are major national security risks in having it run by Trump himself.
