Not a drag performer.

I think Ottawa is Canadian Sheid or Canadian Shield adjacent, so the warmth is too far down.

She’s a pillar of her community.

I’m an idiot. That’s Soudal T-Rex, not Trek.

Is that the neutral service car? Not the usual dull Shimano blue. First thing I noticed was it said “Trek” on the side but the bikes are S-Works. But then I noticed a couple of other logos and names. #vuelta

What about Little Freddy Train-My-Public-LLM-On-My-Private-Data?

Please no one teach him how to actually bark through the app.

Boxing Macht Frei.

The neat thing about a Ring doorbell is that your dog will recognize the notification sound on your phone and bark at the Amazon delivery person from 10 hours drive away.

@paulapoundstone.bsky.social have you heard the ad that was on today’s Dear Crinkle? It was an ad for “The Financial Guys” or something like that and they were obviously right wing tools.

If they’re going to break the goo.gl links I’ve generated with the Share button in Google Maps, I’m going to have to change a bazillion websites and blog posts.

I think we should rename ChatGPT to “An infinite number of monkeys at typewriters”

Those are really the only explanations.

Why did they wait for him? This was a legit mistake, not a circumstance.

…so far

Tasha Yar needs to be careful!

I thought that one was for sure yours.

Ok, I gave in and removed the Pogues song, not because of the copyright strike but because my wife thought it was a downer.

YouTube tells me because I used some music from the Pogues in my video, it won't be shown in Russia or Beloruss. I'm not terribly upset about that.

YouTube video by Paul Tomblin NYPRA Paddle Champs, Morning Short Course

I made two drone videos at Saturday's New York State Paddle Championships.

First, the short course: youtu.be/-ULqzjotj0Q

Second, the long course: youtu.be/7GDZwP4_VR0

Back when I paid for nbc sports gold, they only had ASO races, so no Belgian classics and no Giro. And to make it worse, they had Bob Roll.

There aren't many alternatives since GCN+ died. No way I'm paying NBC for their shitty coverage. I tried to re-sign up for Eurosport because that's what I had before GCN+, but they've become stickier about VPNs

My FloSports app every now and then will suddenly switch to the previous stage, and now it’s sunny out I don’t always spot it right away.

Can somebody explain to me why "The RedBull Kilometer" has the word "Kilometer" in the title? The money and seconds go to the first people over the finish line, not to whoever was fastest over the previous kilometer. They might as well call it "The RedBull However Many Kilometers The Race Has Gone"

Did that work? I've never had it work for anything but the first two in my list. But I'm just bitter because as well as the racist neighbors, I also spent $75 on ads for my drone business and never got a single hit.

Only reasons for posting on nextdoor:
- you lost an animal (good)
- you found an animal (good)
- you want to say something racist about the teenagers in your neighborhood (bad)

Tom Pidcock’s time trial helmet makes him look like a Sontaran.
