    More real estate doom and gloom

    My view of a home inspector is that if I'm paying for someone to inspect something that I'm potentially paying a shit ton of money for, I do want them to document all of the things "wrong" with the purchase, whether or not they are strictly mandated per building code. As much as anything, that...

    Has to be an entertaining story behind that one.

    Chris Grice isn't exactly slow and Asa put 5.5 seconds on him over a ~2 minute track. Juniors are going to be so much fun this year.

    PSA: In Stock / On Sale

    They're all showing up as sold out when I check the Adidas site.

    Unpopular opinion. I don't hate it. I hate that it's the UCI and that it's the "World Championships" for a discipline that they seemingly just made up for the hell of it. And riding bikes on snow is inherently kind of dumb when skis are a thing (I'll give a pass to the start of the Mega). But it...

    Trump's Presidency 2017 - 2021

    Given how much time he spent there as president and the continuing secret service protection, I wonder if any of that is related to presidential security measures rather than Trump putting in a "hidden room" for nefarious purposes. Not that he couldn't have also used those rooms to hide evidence.

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Do they work well in the really high contrast situation that they describe? Maybe I'm just getting to be an old man but with tinted lenses I can't see anything when riding in the woods and with clear lenses I'm blinded when I'm out of the tree cover.

    Trump's Presidency 2017 - 2021

    Being bad at golf isn't high on my list of things to dislike about the guy, but I'll still accept it.

    Speculation or you think there's good reason to believe that? Would be interesting, just seems like the rumors point to Frameworks adding Angel Suarez and it's hard to imagine that they'd have the capacity for anyone else.

    Daprela is now on Canyon. Gwin seems to have the most connections with Yeti through his trainer/team manager, Todd and being friendly with Richie Rude. Maybe his own program, potentially doing only some of the races, on a Yeti frame bringing his own sponsors? Or potentially another frame...

    I still think that the UCI/Discovery tie to this is secondary to the sponsor situation and most/all of this would have still happened if Red Bull had the rights. Pretty much all of the teams are funded primarily by companies within the bike industry. The same bike industry that's in the post...

    POTUS Election '24...you heard it here first!

    In addition to generally taking positions that I agree with, I think I'm most impressed by her communications style and ability. She's always out in the communities that she represents, highlighting groups that are doing good work, taking direct questions from constituents on IG, explaining her...

    POTUS Election '24...you heard it here first!

    Also curious. Electable or not. I can think of a handful of people involved on the national political scene that I think are impressive, but somehow feel like the RM crew would find a reason to hate them (Katie Porter? Am I allowed to like Katie Porter?)

    Certainly possible for him to be a generally pleasant guy but not an easy teammate to have.

    Certainly could be. Just seemed like the change was right after World's where I definitely remember reporting that was something like "Greg was at the top and wanted to switch tires based on the conditions but his mechanic didn't have them and it didn't go over well", so I'm taking a guess that...

    Just throwing more into the rumor pool. I could be wildly off base, but I thought there was reporting that there was a blowup at World's where his mechanic was unprepared with tires or something before his final run and was then shifted to another position in the team right after. Maybe...
