Getting this underway. So far this year we've seen Primoz move, setting up a huge four way battle in the tour. MVdP is destroying the cyclocross world. And a Mexican rider is announcing himself down under. Oh, and GCN+ folded, so watching stuff in the US now officially sucks. This is the...

Yep. Total click bait. Not even feeling guilty. I've seen a couple folks now some pretty awesome mountain adventures. Kutta doing Kilimanjaro, etc. I was curious what folks have climbed, are you a flatlander, etc. Highest I've been on foot is the highest parking lot on Cotopaxi, so ~15,000...

First suggestion I get when writing this title is requesting a music sub forum because there are too many music threads. Well, oops. :lmao: Frankly I have no idea if this is repeated elsewhere (though I haven't seen it). As I've grown older part of my music tastes have...uhhh... broadened...

Might as well kick this off. Been watching a bit of the spring classics. Pidcock was ridiculous in a 50k breakaway in the Strade Bianchi (and the sprint finish in the women's race was pretty awesome). But, holy crap, in today's Tirreno Adriatico TT Ganna blew the field away - in a 12 minute...

I figure it's worth it's own spot as he was one of the most impactful leaders of the 20th century. The fall of the USSR, the Berlin Wall, Glastnost, the list goes on for what he had a hand in. RIP.

So my 22 year old (in a car I own he had for college) totaled the car.  Not his fault - the other party was clearly at fault.  Luckily, despite airbags deploying and a pretty darn high speed collision, he and his girlfriend are ok.  And, miracle of miracles, the other driver had insurance.  That...

Carrying over from the TdF thread from last year, this will be the watering hole for all things 2022. Wednesday - Fleche Wallone The Mur de Huy - I can't wait! Sunday - Liege-Bastogne-Liege May 6 - Giro d'Italia! July 1 - Tour de France The guys talking during Paris Roubaix noted that...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/endurance-ernest-shackletons-lost-ship-found-after-107-years-11646821921 If anyone isn't familiar with Shackelford and his story please read or listen to Endurance.  It is, hands down, the most amazing real life story I've ever heard. Endurance also happens to be...

:crazy: Clockwise or counterclockwise?  

From this article, which I thought was a pretty good breakdown.  I'd suspect we have a goodly number of committed conservatives and establishment liberals in here and not much else. Faith and Flag Conservatives This group is 'intensely conservative in all realms', according to Pew. They make...

"We find that those more skilled in producing satisfying and seemingly accurate bull#### score higher on measures of cognitive ability." Finally, a study that defines my primary life activity, and it cuts to the core of what defines intelligence.  Life, fulfilled.

Greetings, all.  No thread yet, so I figured I'd start one. So, anyone who hazarded a peek in here must now go watch the kickoff commercial here.   Best.  Commercial.  Ever.

So under the radar.  It's on tomorrow.  Great to see some of this stuff come back, though the outbreaks in France may make this a short tour. With Bernal hurt Roglic looks like the heads on favorite.  Personally I'm super excited about Sepp Kuss.  We haven't had a stage winner since Farrar in...

https://news.trust.org/item/20200806144855-coo0a Interesting news bit, particularly since they are going after the org itself rather than arresting and charging the bad actors here.  I've never heard of a request of the courts to dissolve an organization simply for "financial mismanagement" and...

Maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing an unprecedented constriction is my ability to have privacy or at least control over what people know about me, my whereabouts, my life.  We have Alexa listening to everything you say, Google and Facebook sucking in everything they can and making opting out...

Interesting and not a good move.  I'm curious as to why they took this action.  I recall the FNC debate in 2016 to be pretty staid affair - nothing outrageous happened there.  The point of these is to reach out to the electorate and certainly Fox does that.   Maybe they don't like Fox since they...

This looks super promising.  Horrible disease and we might finally be on the right track to knock it out.  Also, frankly, one of my biggest fears. One thing not noted in that article is that there is a population in Iceland that has a genetic defect such that they don't produce amyloids like...

Sad day.  Wrote many books, but one in particular that I read back in my HS days that was easily the most memorable, powerful piece of literature I've ever picked up. Holocaust Survivor, Nobel winner, author many times over, charitable Foundation founder, (even a Madoff victim).  What an...

Greetings, Looks like I'll get the chance to bring the family to watch a game here (no MLB here, so this will be a treat).  Looking on Ticketmaster there are about 25 categories of tickets (yeesh - way too many to figure out quickly).  For folks that go to games here are there any sweet spots...

Wanted to start something up here on this. I've read the books and they're (IMO) the best space opera I've ever read. The show is the biggest budget show SyFy has taken on, so production values should be pretty high. Hopefully a good combination. Definitely putting this on my watch list -...
