Ride Thru Winter
alt text
A handsome orange bicycle complete with front and rear racks, a comfortable leather saddle, and front and rear fenders.
Mounted studded tires and fenders on my commuter last week. My trusty steed is prepared for the next storm. It's missing lights and pogies in this photo but those will be added all in good time.
Excellent, keep getting out there this winter!
Riding in the cold (almost always) beats riding on the trainer.

IS THAT AN ANTI-THEFT HUFFY STICKER OR LEGIT?
I am fortunate to have only a one-ish mile commute so staying honest is fortunately easy, @cwhartman.
Take a look at the rear dropouts on this steed, @shitleopard. That'll probably answer your question.

Key quotes:
"I want to increase the points of contact—the touchpoints—between everyone and Godzilla, and make him an even more familiar presence than before."
"Furthermore, we will develop diverse content beyond just video content, increasing the entry points to Godzilla and creating opportunities for people to encounter Godzilla"

"Larsen, 51, says he set his camera up to take an unlimited number of eight-second-long shots, with a two-second gap in between each photo. 'I left her running for two hours and captured 578 photos … That was the easy part.'
The hard part came next. Larsen spent about 45 hours layering the individual photos – each of which contained about 25 satellites – over one another, using Adobe Photoshop. Much of the time was spent painstakingly erasing stars, to reveal the satellites."

I've been trying to assemble just a capsule biography of all the Dems who flipped a seat, and reading about Teresa Benitez-Thompson—the first Democrat elected in Reno since it got its own seat in 1981—I saw that she was a former Miss Nevada (finished 4th at Miss America that year). It turns out that she seems *wildly* impressive. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article...
Here's her doing a monologue from The Laramie Project, about the murder of Matthew Shepard, as her talent performance at the 2003 Miss America pageant. 2003! https://www.youtube.com/watch...

The Flying Boy Experiment
alt text
An old diagram showing an electrical experiment where one person rotates a small glass globe near the feet of a boy who is lying prone, suspended from the ceiling by ropes. The boy holds the hand of a girl who is standing on some sort of insulator, passing his charge to her, and she, in turn, attracts small bits of material to her hand.
In the 1740s, Stephen Gray, a scientist in London, was conducting a number of basic experiments to figure out the behavior and properties of electricity. One of these became famous as "The Flying Boy" experiment. Gray suspended a young boy from the ceiling, using silk ropes, yarn, or other materials. The boys feet were placed near a glass globe that was being rotated and rubbed, creating a static charge. The suspended boy then carried a charge as well, and was able to attract light materials to his face and fingertips, like paper or feathers. And if the boy reached out to touch someone else, they got a sharp jolt, saw a tiny spark, and heard a little crackle — and anything attracted to his skin would suddenly drop away.
I just love that 'a suspended young boy' became a pivotal part of the apparatus, and helped further our understanding of electricity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

A 1970s advertising product photo shows a man and a woman lying on a circular bed surrounded by entertainment devices. Built into the circular bed are: a TV, a stereo system, and a wet bar.
The ad text reads: "The ultimate in personal environment. Privacy. Comfort. Entertainment. All within your reach. RCA Circle Bed Model CB-1000."

Texas Owes Her

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, of Texas, gerrymandered out, gone but neither forgotten, nor silenced.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett who showed considerable backbone, and gave a unique lesson about freedom of speech, and fearless activism. She is the bane of racists everywhere, the mother of the new Texas spirit. She lent her balls to Talarico.
She’s incredible and I hope to see plenty more of her. I do think Talarico was the better choice for the general - just in terms of not having to overcome the racism and misogyny that regrettably appears hard baked into the electorate - but she has so much to offer Texas and this country.
She's miraculous and we must protect her at all costs
I dunno... she seems like a liability that won't get much push forward.
