    What you want are "MTB cleats". SPD is one example of them, but there are more, e.g. from Time and Crankbrother. I have both SPD and SPD-SL shoes (the latter being the road style version). With SPD shoes you can more or less walk normally and don't look like an idiot. With SPD-SL you don't want to walk for more than 10 metres. Some people will argue that proper road bike cleats have advantages, such as more efficient transmission of power or more comfort on the bike or easer click/unclick, but to be honest I couldn't tell the difference. If anything, the MTB cleats are easier to lock/unlock, especially when dirt is involved. Unless you are a pro, the main argument in favor of "proper" road bike cleats is that you will wear what all the others are wearing in a group ride. The pedals you need depend on the system you are using, but I guess you know that already. Don't buy Wahoo pedals. I tried them once. They are very expensive but real shitty.

    U want a working gun dog? Get what we have. A vizsla. No shed. No wet dog smell. Smart as any dog I’ve ever had. And loving beyond words. (Called Velcro dogs because they have no understanding of personal space. They stick with u everywhere u go) and if like jolly, u may be interested in an hunting companion, well that’s what they are bred for. Downside-endless and I mean endless energy levels.

    Box of Rain is probably Phil Lesh’s best known song. Lesh wrote it as a tribute to his recently deceased father. It was originally released as the opening track on the 1970 American Beauty studio album. https://m. Link to video

    @Mik said in Dune: Foundation as it is written would not make great TV. I see your point. It's not great entertainment. But, they said that Dune is unfilmable.

    @George-K said in The Democrat Party Trifecta: @Horace said in The Democrat Party Trifecta: Oh. I thought they were appointed to something or other. Oh s/he'll lose that appointment, but still have a job that pays the same with the same bennies. The political appointment and the platform it provides, is the concern. I don’t want trans people to lose their jobs.

    At the university, we made allowances who gas-passers who didn't want to give anesthesia for what we euphemistically called "D & E's" (dilation and extraction). It caused a bit of a problem with room assignments, but we did it. At the community hospital where I retired from abortions were not done as a matter of policy. That hospital is now on its 4th (?) owner since 1990, so I don't know if abortions are done now.

    Most likely just one or a few paid canvassers fabricating registration requests trying to make more money rather than part of some grand scheme to stuff fraudulent ballots later.

    @89th said in Burned or Buried?: When you die, what are you picking? As a kid I mostly thought everyone was buried, so I've always had that expectation. Recently found out my wife (and her parents) prefer cremation. I can also sense @Copper 's indifferent reaction to this! Buried. I'm freaking 6'4".* It would be a terrible insult to the zombie community if I didn't make my body available post-mortem. *maybe 6'3" with my shoes off as @jon-nyc would be fond of pointing out but I don't give a shit, the point is, I'd make a good zombie.
