  • "The chickens are revolting!" "Finally, something we agree on."

  • Fair, but I'm sure he's arrogant enough to believe it, too.

  • Our Mazda completely gave up trying during a heavy rain storm one time. Like, gee, thanks, the one time I could use help with knowing where the lines on the road are, and the car just is like, nah, you're on your own.

  • Troi: crashes Enterprise

  • A few years back, after the fourth car cut it close to me while I was rolling downhill at a pretty high speed, I discovered my heart rate can go well above the max the original formula provides. I was in my late 40s and hit 192 bpm.

    Since then I haven't worried about it.

  • I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it's not what Trump has; it's what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims...

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he's Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

  • I love that movie and still quote it. "And we're the chickens!"

  • Good point. It's still an odd term to describe fighter planes.

  • I am a native English speaker. It sounds like something someone who was translating from another language would say. "Soldiers" is the really common term.

  • Warfighters?

  • Oh it's much worse, I bought it in 2022. Unfortunately options for that type of service are extremely limited, in fact that's the only one. I held out because I was hoping he'd have to sell SpaceX after the Twitter debacle.

    We pause the plan and use it as little as possible. We thought we might use it again this summer, but his decree means we don't need it. The money is nothing to him, I know, but it's amusing that his actions directly mean he won't get more from us.

  • Maybe the "Cyclists for Trump" group on Strava will disband now.

  • But I already have to go buy a Tesler. Not doing so is illegal!

  • Well it's one thing if you bought it a decade ago, before we all realized how much of an ass he is. It's quite another if you bought it after the reality came out.

    I say this as someone that owns Starlink equipment, though the service is currently paused, with no plans to unpause it (since we can no longer work remotely, Elon). Unfortunately, Starlink is essentially the only option for remote internet service, but there are a lot of different vehicle options.

  • "Many economists are saying that the market was due for a correction..."

    I've seen that comment a few times in the last few days. They'll say ANYTHING to support Dear Leader.

  • Nah, I heard that long before cell phone cameras were even a thing.

  • They don't listen to what he says. They listen to what they want to hear.

  • Well, no, because there's currently no way to do so. It's a highway. But people ride a lot on both sides of the bridge, so it's a logical connection.

    My bike club did a ride across Maryland last fall, and the Bay Bridge was one of two gaps we could not ride - from the border with West Virginia, to Ocean City. (The other gap was crossing Route 50 near Queenstown, MD - there's just no safe way to cross the highway there. We got back in the car and got a lift for that.)

  • Here in Maryland, they built a new bridge that had a bike lane planned, then the governor unilaterally removed it. We're stuck with that decision for 50 years at least.

    I said we should protest by riding across our every day, blocking the right lane (which was the "compromise"). The battle for that bridge is lost, but there's another bridge replacement on the horizon that's even more important for cyclists, and we need to make that point. (Bay Bridge)
