@Mik Agree!!!

Peloton gear is ridiculously over-priced. You can get a decent quality electro-magnetic exercise bike for a fraction of the price they charge.

Also, the serious cyclists I know don't go anywhere near it - they use Wahoo for the hardware and Zwift for the software.

Just for fun, here's the continuation of the dataset for cycle lengths up to 20000.

So doesn’t that mean that Twitter is calling Biden’s touches sexual in nature?

Exactly.

@LuFins-Dad said in Home: Buying vs Renting:

Are you including your Condo or HOA fees? Homeowners insurance? I take it that you haven’t had any major expenses such as a new roof or HVAC system? Oh, don’t forget to add your property taxes...

Yes, owning is ultimately better than renting, but it is a closer thing than most realize.

Yeah we have condo fees, a total of about $60,000 over 11 years, as well as insurance, taxes, etc. I didn't want to muddy the original post with too many details, but those are 100% relevant. Luckily we haven't had any major work needed.

And yeah, it's definitely a closer thing than most realize especially if you factor in the "your home value might actually stay the same or go down" over the short/mid term.

That does seem a bit fast. lol

HEY!

GIVE IT BACK!!

Shhh, I actually use a regular camera quite a bit (Canon EOS 70D) 😂 😂

Wiping Down Candy sounds even worse than those peanut butter candies in the wax paper.

@LuFins-Dad Do they not see the ironic in this? LOL

That is funny (but true!)

As it happens, this was a minor change for the better in the plan in question, while there was a major change for the worse, meant to accommodate a significantly higher stock price and not pass that along to the grant recipients. The plan used to be nice round numbers of shares based on the assumption that the stock price was in a certain range. Then the price doubled and now they're concerned that each grant is too valuable, and will modify the number of shares to coincide with a certain value, assuming whatever the current stock price is.

Fun andedote!!

That's creepy and wonderful all at the same time. 😄

The band failed to keep up with the context of their times. A long history of hi-jinx, and definitely not afraid of consequences, apparently took a step too far and went out on its own terms.

I have all day Sober to Sunday up.

Ayup. Nailed, it, Horace.

I like it.

It was a very strange day - I work about 20 mi outside the city, and remember the roads being almost deserted even out there. Typically, marathon day is a PITA for traffic.

Some people here still have signs up 'Boston Strong', and pictures of the 8-year old boy who died. It feels so much worse when the victims are children.

Thanks for the link, TG! I found the product interesting. I'm not going to buy one, but still interesting.
