Possibly stupid question: do the riders pair their head units to the power meters on the spare bikes? What if another rider takes the spare bike? #OHN25

I just got an email from the social security administration inviting me to report scams. I’d like to report a bunch of unqualified tech bros running rampant through our important data.

Looking for recommendations for a domain registrar that can do email forwarding and that can forward [a-z].org{.*} to foo.bar.com/this/that/{.*} My personal experience is with godaddy, who suck balls, and gandi who I chose some years ago only because they weren’t based in the US, but they’re pricy.

Shoot, the tailgate on my truck is frozen. I haven't owned a truck before, but I suspect that if I were to pour hot water on it to unfreeze it, it will freeze up even worse afterwards. Maybe if I wait until I'm going to drive somewhere, it would give it time to dry out and it wouldn't freeze up?

When a captcha says 'click all the bicycles' , do you click the section with just the bike, or do you include the full rider as well? What about when it's asking for traffic lights, do you click the entire pole or just the light bit at the top?

My most important question today is he named Carl or Kyle? Renee seems to use both interchangibly. #happilyeverhanks #rv #rvlife

So I’m boycotting Facebook today, so you lovely people get to read my whines instead. And today’s whine was that last night when I saw it was snowing, I thought for sure I’d be going skiing today, but when I woke up I discovered it’s 12F out there. So probably not.

I love @writebikerepeat.bsky.social but Remi really needs to find some new synonyms for winning other than "raising his arms".

After 4 years of using an iPad instead of a laptop as a daily driver, I'm setting up my new MacBook Air, and I keep trying to tap things on the screen.

Remember when cars and trucks used to drag a grounding strap or chain behind them? Is that still a thing? I get very mildly motion sick driving my truck and I’m wondering if a ground strap would help.

The trip to the cross country ski place goes through some deeply dumber parts of Trump Country. Today I spotted a hand scrawled sign that said “Not eat cats”, and I’m not sure if that’s a Trumpian admonition not to eat cats, or an immigrant mounting a defense against the Trump’s accusations.

First cross country ski of the year. Bristol Mountain was partially open, but only groomed for skating. As a guy who quit racing in the 1980s because of skate skiing, I’m waiting anxiously to get the grooves back.

he's a 78 year old incoming president via historically narrow margins promising fascism while ineligible for another term with a single vote to spare in the house, any democrat who looks at that situation and with a straight face says "we have to work with them" deserves to be ejected from the party

Something changed in @deck.blue two days ago and now I can’t scroll the columns in Chrome on iPadOS. When I tap and drag, it just highlights the post I’ve tapped on.

So President-Unelect Musk wants a government shutdown. Does that affect all the federal subsidies to Space-X and Tesla?
