Amazing finish!

The idea that Bosch is trying to deter people from riding ebikes so they can sell more car parts is ludicrous on its face. Bosch dominates the ebike market in Europe, where ebikes ARE considered a viable everyday transportation option. And the European car market is about the same size as...

Tough break for Sepp Kuss, but it could have been much much worse.

Montessori squatch. I really like how he left the squatch brick colored.

How does NJ account for all the ebikes that assist to 28mph but are not throttle equipped? I'm guessing it's considered a motorized bicycle according to the law, but you'd never know from that infographic.

Yeah, I have some GM stock certificates I've kept in a drawer in case we run out of toilet paper. Current shares are worth $75/share, the ones I have are worthless.

Moose, Orca, and a pair of squatches

Just finished watching the stage. Very unfortunate. Jorgenson mentioned that the motorcycle took a poor line through the turn and Campenaerts followed that same line. Visma has just looked a little off the whole tour. Another nice day for Simmons. Unfortunately, the days where he gets free...

I'm not sure. I'm no cryptozoologist but I suspect that most squatches are tuft-fluid.

Hmm, I fell off the wagon posting photos this summer. How about a wall of squatches. 23 by my count. The wall even had an elusive squatchling.

-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.
