My favorite alternative to MPG is MPB, a biking term: miles per burrito.

I’ve been watching too much 70s sci-fi; I totally thought that picture was from an episode of Space: 1999 I hadn’t seen.

Ack - no! Suburbs are hard to navigate, require a car, only have restaurants that are bland tasting chains, and are generally just a suck on the environment. Plus I find them stressful. No thanks.

I get why so many people are (rightfully so) mocking the GOP. I’m more than starting to fear the violence that’ll start nationwide because of them,

I would think that a lawyer would have a legal duty to disclose known perjury by a client. But ‘merica.

There’s been a lot of justifiable criticism of Jezebel using video where uneeded; this is not one of them.

Scratch big female heroine. 2012's Dredd was fantastic (if you like that genre), but I knew a ton of people who wouldn’t watch it because of Sylvester Stallone’s pile’o’poo 17 years earlier. 

Another reason is because things won’t always be for the better. I had a fantastic job - I loved my boss, my coworkers and the company culture. But it was all so good that it was gobbled up by another company who promptly ruined everything. I wish I could say it was the first time, but every company acquisition I’ve…

Some questions: given the trauma, would they be better off in a house with or without other small animals, such as other dogs, cats, or children?

If you have to be outside, see if you can rework your schedule to accommodate the heat. I was recently on a bike trip that involved a couple 60 mile segments when the temps were going to hit upper 90s with high humidity. I ended up getting up each morning at 4am to take advantage of the cooler weather and arrive at my…

If your firm get acquired by another company. That other company will always spout some bullshit about not having layoffs, finding a place for everyone in the new company. It’s a lie. Every time.

I’d add rubber gloves and/or towelette to clear the grease and/or dirt off your hands if you have to do a roadside repair.  And if you go with tubeless tires, bring some repair darts (I don’t know if shops will sell bike tubeless out of the shop, but consider it anyway - gadzooks is it so much easier to fix a…

The problem is that airlines have invited skiplagging do to their terrible behavior. Years ago I was on a vacation solo and my godfather suddenly passed away a day before I was to head home. The airline, which already was set to stopover in the city, was going to charge me an additional $1500 (no more bereavement…

Didn’t we just have an article about this?

Taking Stranger Things out of it, it’s worth a discussion of why this trope exists. I can’t speak for people younger than myself, but as a Gen Xer who moved around a lot so never had years to cement a support network, cheerleaders and jocks were both awful and had tons of privilege given to them by school admins that…

I created a variation of the balloon scam: our local renaissance festival has a fundraiser that where people can don fencing gear and fight someone else by popping a balloon on either side of the helmet - pop both and you win. Normally they used regular sized balloons, but I found some enormously long balloons (a good…

Unless you’re Sarah Jane Smith (and if you get the full reference, I love you).

I’m really surprised there’s not busloads of people going to Canada to get formula like they do for prescription drugs.

Other than it was around a long time, and because it was free garnered a whole lot of users that it now wants to pay up, is it really worth it for a casual user who mostly just wants to know how far they went?

Honestly, I think Komoot’s best feature is the user-submitted places to see, which does include plain old pavement. It’s great when you “want to go somewhere” but don’t necessarily know where and want to do more than just wandering around.
