Would You Wear an Air-Filled Cycling Backpack If It Could Reduce Drag and Improve Safety?
  • 'cause the UCI are dickheads and want to live in 19..f@#k!ng..10. Let fixate on sock height, frame weight, aero tuck and shifter angles, but ignore road furniture, dickhead crowds assaulting riders and fine riders when the organisers cant organise (looking at you Vuelta)

  • PSA: Grayjay is really good
  • Great app. I often go where there is no connectivity so I can still play music. My only wish was that the resume on play lists is better. It's kinda guess which song you were last on and you have to tap this dinky link that drops away pretty quick.

    I paid for the app as I'd rather give LR my $$$ than the d!(kh3@ds at Google.

  • Strava alternative?
  • If you are serious about training, Training Peaks is probably a great alternative. Strava is the Facebook of activity apps so not really great if you're committed. There is a free plan for TP, but I'm not sure what the limitations are... I pay for it and can track the history of the key metric that matter to me such Power, Heart Rate, Training Zones, Freshness, Power bands etc. There are a LOT of analytical graphs to provide insights into your progress. The key is the more data you collect, the more value there is. i.e. Sleep tracking, weight, HRV, cadence etc.

  • ASUS ROG Ally X Debuts with $799.99 Price Tag - FullCleared
  • Asus is trash. The last "gaming" laptop I bought could not be upgraded and the performance was terrible for the specs. Never Asus again.

  • Why did they put eyeliner on evil Kirk 😳
  • ...cause he's F-A-B-U-LOUS!

  • Nike Run Club app for Cycling?
  • Management Summary of indoor tech. Zwift gets expensive and frankly can be a bit wanky... sold as this online happy family. Most of the time you're just in the hurt locker anyway. Try IndieVelo as an alternative. Actively under development, GREAT anti-cheat feature and it's free (for now). Graphics is a bit dated, but you get over it. Also may I suggest investing in TrainingPeaks as this is the go-to app for people that train (there is a free version with limitations) . Strava is the Facebook of cycling and ads little value other than 'Look at my ride". TrainerRoad is for hardcore trainers that have solid goals. Boring as bat shit so you'll likely pair it with something like indieVelo or Zwift anyway to beat the boredom. They do have AI FTP, which has pro's and con's. (Research is suggesting that FTP is not as good a reflection of Functional Threshold and some coaches only work off Critical Power and Max Aerobic Power) There are many other apps, but I guess these are probably the main one's. Also most of the value come from Power Meters and trainers. GPLama and DC Rainmaker are the authority on accuracy on this stuff. Research Power Meters and Indoor Trainers on their websites as there are lots of snake oil manufacturers.

    Now go and be awesome...

  • When it's dinner time but I'm still working
  • What! No try, catch ()?

  • I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system?
  • I can't believe governments and companies put such a "price" on people's health. I must say the news about the US Health System is also echoed by all the other US companies I have dealt with in my professional capacity. Profits before people and sales before outcomes.

    I/We avoid using them when we can...

  • He’s everywhere in Perth – but is Basil Zempilas the man to save the WA Liberals?
  • There is nothing lordly about this idiot! He has no clue, and a mouth like an annoying 50cc motorcycle; Loud and producing nothing of substance;

  • Taiwan’s new president: Five things you need to know about William Lai
  • Reading through the CEO's statement, it seems like he's not just kicking 170 out;

    • Five months of salary (plus an additional week for every full year at Discord)
    • Five months of benefit continuation
    • Three months of outplacement services
    • Equity vesting of awards scheduled to vest on Feb. 1, 2024
    • Continued access to Modern Health through the end of 2024, and more

    Is this unusual? Seems like there is a 5mo opportunity to find new employment without having to work. I mean this sounds better than some of the other Silicon Valley douche bags. What am I missing?

  • Melbourne Cup: most Australians have little or no interest in ‘race that stops the nation’, Essential poll finds
  • So gambling is how a nation defines itself? Not science or innovation or having the brightest students or the most entrepreneurial business people or producing the most food but gambling on farm yard animals.... Wow, that's weak!

  • How credible is my home defense setup?
  • haha at this point, I'll be changing into the brown cat burglar suit.

  • Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome
  • Firefox or Brave for the win. Edge and Chrome are equally bloat/spyware.

  • Women are less likely to receive CPR in public than men: Study
  • Nah man. I won't go near kids. Not my problem... If they die because of stupidity... it's just thinning the heard.

  • Women are less likely to receive CPR in public than men: Study
  • How's that woke working out for you now... Most men are so shit scared of going near a female that it actually back fires. In the process you killed chivalry too...
