-Thomas Jefferson. 10 days before his death on 4 July 1826.

I was noticing how much smoother they looked slotting in and was thinking the same about how hard it is for the protected rider to micro adjust his cadence to open just enough of a gap without losing his rhythm.

I'm sure you all have come across this stat before, but it always blows my mind. How close Jonas and Tadej have been in the 5 TdF's they've raced together: After ~10000 miles they are only separated by something like 85 seconds in total time if you subtract out all the bonus seconds. (exact...

I tried that line on my wife. She wasn't impressed. We don't have AC and the whole house is a single zone, so not much upside to a smart thermostat for us vs a simple programmable one.

Could be some last minute changes to Visma's lineup. Affini suffered a hard crash a couple days ago and was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. The team confirmed he never lost consciousness and had no fractures, but was vague otherwise. I read one report that he has both internal and...

The bots are just trolling us now.

The reliability of wind definitely lags at roughly 1.5x the rate of coal downtime. Not sure how that translates to $$ as our coal plants age and have higher operational stress since they get cycled down when cheaper solar/wind production peak and then up during off peak times. BTW nuclear is...

Well, Mschwett beat me to it - main clue is that the chart is in BTUs and the huge losses in nuclear. Interesting chart but easy to misinterpret. You would kind of need to know the losses in the end use side of the chart to have any context. And figuring the losses on the left side would...

Went for a spin after Sunday services today. @DaveMatthews Headed your way, it should be there about 5 o'clock Beautiful day out. Some marine haze, but nice wispy clouds up high. Not a great shot, but it's not a mistake. I zoomed in as much as I could on porpoise.

As mentioned by others, the US is big and people's needs vary which is why choice is good. I work in the 13th most populous county in the US and EVs have grown their share in total vehicle registrations every single month since they started tracking in 2017. Currently at 9.66% of registered...

Curious, where do you live that allows refueling on the go, so an ICE van doesn't need to stop to refuel? Less than 10% of the miles I drive/cycle would NOT be satisfied by home charging.

Watch parties sound fun, but not sure how practical/workable it would be for me as a West Coast working stiff. I leave for work at 7 or 8 depending on the day which is usually just as things are starting to climax. I had decent luck watching a few of the Giro stages that had earlier start...

I read that WVA's elbow was visibly swollen last night and not responding to treatment, so they pulled the cord. No sense in further aggravating an injury just so he can get some miles in on stages he has no shot of winning. @Rás Cnoic yes, I guess Onley went down on a descent and finished 28...

I don't see Decathlon defending well, so the longer Seixas can wait the better. But the longer he waits the more decisive his move will have to be to get him to the top of the GC. Agree with Stomp. Visma is the team to beat - they'll put Jorgenson in position to seize the GC, but we'll have...

Sounds like the interface is open, so it would be up to Wahoo to add support. https://www.ebike24.com/blog/ebike-bosch-ebike-flow-app-update-1-35
