What do they taste like? I live in a wet region where they cannot really grow.

We used Google maps today, but it put us on an actual stroad with sharrows. Five lane, 35 mph road. We uncomfortably rode on the sidewalk. On the way back, our group noticed that there was a large bike lane on the other side of the road that Google didn't use, and that it kept us on car lanes, not safer power center parking lots and all that.

Somewhat disheartening, unfortunately. :/

Honestly, makes a ton of sense for the county. The more cars you take off the road, the less taxpayer money you have to waste on doing yearly road repairs. Bikes have a microscopic amount of road wear compared to cars and trucks.

Sodas and other sugary drinks are extremely addictive to developing kids. If you grow up in a household with it, they'll probably want it more. Good on ya for only having water around, it's what everyone should be drinking (and milk!).

That snowball guy finally died last year, thank God. Too bad it wasn't from a flood or hurricane.

The original Subnautica is worth playing, it's a fantastic game with an interesting world, intriguing story, and actually fun gameplay and vehicles. The vehicles themselves are extremely fun, too.

Try out various ebikes! I use the Transit app which has a bike section that should try and put you on the safest routes in your city. If you buy a bike with a rack, get a pannier or two, they can carry groceries, laptops or beach supplies no problem. Many places with little car parking have bike racks, such as parks, beaches, and small businesses.

Invest in a good ulock or thick chain for protecting your bike! Doing a 20 mile trip to work could be a bit ambitious at first, but start with smaller bite-sized trips, and work your way up (or supplement it with commuter buses or regional rail, if there are options. Bikes + Transit go together!)

 

I use Transit, but I'm always curious what else is out there, particularly for bike navigation on protected bike lanes.

Oooh, decorative, or do you plan on eating some?

Get some Himalayan blackberry and English ivy in there too, to really fuck things up.

Oh, you'll get them. Peppers fruit insanely quickly.

If you can't go prone, the recoil just wastes ammo. Especially if picking off smaller targets. Firing in controlled bursts can be useful!

 

I found it while looking for outfits for pride, and I really like the look. If it helps, here's where I found the source image:

I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

 

At 100, the airship is still in demand.

 

Sometimes I get sick of brambles on the local bike lane I use a ton, and take a pair of battery electric trimmers to cut back grasses and brambles that grow over the lanes. But I'm curious if cities have actual programs with access to better tools. Working on bike lanes is super satisfying, but I'd love to do it with a group.

 

Having conquered its home market, the Japanese toilet-maker Toto is selling more bidets in the United States. Toto’s president says not even tariffs will halt its advance.

A clean ass is inevitable :3

 

How did they do? Do they need root tabs? Are they fine without ever touching saltwater? Any bright light requirements?

 

A lot of stuff on commercial television came from PBS.

The first financial news show came from PBS. Cooking was really Julia Child. Even reality shows, believe it or not, came from PBS, with “American Family” in the early ’70s.

Part of what PBS does should be seen as an incubator for new stuff and new ideas.
