there's a place around here where there's a perfectly good bike path five feet from the road but tilde serious cyclists tilde don't use it because performance or pedestrians or whatever so they just bike in the loving street

it's not an especially wide street so sometimes you end up stuck behind an rear end in a top hat sweating his rear end off trying to get uphill

get on the bike path rear end in a top hat

is there a design rule that says all bike pictures need to point to the right because this page is weirding me out

diagrams of ships always show the starboard side, so pointing to the right maybe it's the same thing with bikes, bikes and bike people are weird

bikes are unnatural, poo poo can't stand on two wheels. it's like helicopters, there's just something unholy about the whole thing

FrozenVent: May 1, 2009; The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.

thinking of a Canadian winter, there is just no way you get enough energy from the seven hours of sunlight we might get if there's no cloud to melt the ten inches of snow that fell over night when it's like -20 out

also you might notice that we don't remove snow by melting it. I wonder if there's a reason for that.

oh yeah it's because once it's run off it freezes again and now you're stuck with a solid block of ice

so here we are in another once-every-4-years chance where people get really invested in numeric quantification of the world around us. it's honestly astounding how folks who generally don't care about data-driven decisions or metrics can come together to focus on hundredths of a percent differences

obviously, i'm talking about the olympics. there's so much commentary chatter about PR/OR/WR, weird little moments like the first 100m of a swimming relay eligible to set OR/WR's, and a depth of information about each swimmer, each runner, their entire race history down to lap timings

i like visualizations, and there are some great ones for specific things like "men's 100m sprint" that even have callouts & graphic differences to account for wind speed during the race. but these are obviously curated and the underlying statistical information isn't provided in an accessible format.

anyone know any startups trying to target this space? i mean there has to be commercial efforts mechanizing the search through the data, otherwise "never had a 400m winner from Lane 8" wouldn't get repeated across multiple commentators, but I'd kinda like something I could chart things like "how many times was a WR within 5% of their previous PR" or just "100m finishing time by year," like what's the average lag time from Men hitting some round time and Women attaining the same?

they already make "telltale fruits" that are stuffed in shipments of fruits and vegetables to monitor their transportation. temperature, humidity, acceleration... poo poo I wouldn't be surprised if they had gps.
