    The existential threat crowd has always beclowned itself. Awareness of that is slowly dawning. Cultures move slowly.

    Well, I'm not sure Abita specified how many, but surely they have a weekly cap. They make pretty decent beer, though.

    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.

    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.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Whither the GOP post Trump 2020 election loss:

    Depends, were those people fired?

    If one person makes a bad comment about closely working with President Trump, yeah, he could be a sour grape. Five people who worked closely with him, hmmm maybe still a sour grape. When you get to 10 or more, I have to think that there is something to it. And again, most of these people are not a junior analyst who only sees President Trump on TV. These are people who probably spent more time on a daily basis with President Trump than his wife.

    @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.

    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.
