When Caterham went out of business, all the cool recognizable conversation-piece parts (front/rear wings, steering wheels) were all in the five-figures for pricing. Lots of other bits were affordable, but you’d have to be an F1 team owner to get any utility out of them.

They are 13", so the tires on my old 93 Civic LeMons car would fit on them, right?

I remember this video from happier times pre-election: “He forgot about planes!”

The problem with unlimited doping is that people start dying. In the 90s, before there was a test for EPO, cyclists would literally die in their sleep because they’d used so much EPO their blood was like jelly.

I would _not_ want to be Team Sky’s wheel sponsors today. Who appear to be Shimano.

Apparently that is the case this year.

Just gotta check who Mr Kislyak met with in that timeframe. If Trump surrogates show up at a greater-than-random rate, then that’s a bit of a smoking gun that the meetings were _probably_ not just normal senate business.

Fortunately, his claim (about it only being Senate business) is somewhat disprovable:

He met with the Ambassador while a Senator, he says.

$5k pays a middling software engineer’s salary and benefits for a month. For any team made with a teamsize greater than one, $5k is a drop in the bucket.

Back when I had the time to follow the tour closely, I remember one of the TTs (2014 or 2015) had a significant downhill. Froome’s team changed him to a more aero bike at the top of the hill (aerodynamics would matter immensely on a downhill), and I’ve always wondered if what they really did was put him on a bike…

This is true, but because of the lack of the union, they can’t be sure that their lack-of-driving would actually make an impact, because they wouldn’t know if everyone else would also shut off the app. It is entirely possible for 100% of uber’s drivers to want to make a statement, but the rational action for every…

Honestly, it’s not a terrible idea, as a way to compensate for his anti-refugee policies. IF he actually deploys the troops to properly defend it, police its inhabitants (6-7 digits of displaced unhappy civilians aren’t going to be entirely peaceable), then it’s not a bad idea.

I embedded this in another post, but as a guy who has run two (one into a quiet but slightly profitable twilight, one starting up much faster than we expected), here’s a tip for customers:

I’m now on my second side business (#1 earned about $30k, $10k of that profit to me), here are my tips. #2 has taken in about $240k revenue in 5 months and has great potential if we don’t screw it up.

Apparently “fire” is an adjective that someone is trying to make happen.

The reason they’re still better than cabs is exactly the reason they’re losing tons of money. Why are Ubers all late-model cars? Because it mandates it. In order to do that, it has to pay drivers more (or subsidize their leases) so that it makes financial sense for them. So the passenger is paying the same amount,…

Pluto orbits from 30-49AU, and this star will be passing at 13,000AU.

EPO would give you a good boost in cycling and running, and with the Ironman distance ratios heavily favouring cycling and running, it’d be well worth it.

Actually this is pretty normal. My town is building an LRT system, and all the construction barricades have ads on them for the businesses that are hidden behind the in-construction portions.
