Cycling can get bad. Some dudes have a garage full of $20k of bikes.
I am on the low end of the bike hoarding spectrum. I have two very modestly priced bikes (one road, one fat) and a 20” box of parts and accessories. You could count the 4 water bottles in the cupboard, 4 bike shorts in the drawer, and 6 bike jerseys in the closet as well. 2 pairs of bike shoes, a hook of tires and tubes in the garage, oh god never mind I have it bad.
Yeah collecting instruments, parts, strings/reeds, and accessories is totally part of it. People hoard to varying degrees but any hobby requiring physical objects is hoardable.
Way back when, one convenience store had milk that was stored super cold and/or was super pasteurized, it would stay good 30+ days after the expiration date. I think the longest I went was in the low 40s days after expiration and it tasted completely normal.
Is this a one-off or the beginning of a movement? Probably a one-off. We shall see.
A la Sin City, I love it.
Who watches the Watchmen?
Apple keyboard and I hate it. Gboard for Apple is lame, and most of the others available are paid but I also suspect could be lame, so I don’t want to take the risk.
I lifted seasonally, phasing from 3 lifts and one cardio day in the winter to 3 cardio and 1 lifting day in the summer. Each fall was a bit of a reset, jumping back in at lower weight and working my way back up.
For me 5/3/1 is where it’s at. I started with 5x5 and plateaued out pretty quick particularly on OHP but I stuck with it for 2 years. From there I tried a variant that was 3x5 and amrap sets, I forget what it was called. That was only marginally better, tried it for two years.
From there I found 5/3/1. I was able to improve my 1RM in each lift beyond what I ever hit and the best part is I still improved year over year, so it has a much more gradual plateau.
Where did you get that 60 dkk number from? If 80 is common wouldn’t that be the baseline?
I experiment with everything all the time. Try new approaches to things, see what worked and didn’t, adjust and try again. Cooking, exercise, social interactions, lovemaking, if I can evaluate it I run little informal experiments on it all the time.
Best quantitative example is exercise. I track lots of cardio metrics with my gps+HR watch so I can see in real time what I am doing to my pace vs heart rate. I track my estimated 1RM for various lifts across different training programs and methodologies and have found one that produces the best results for me. My watch also tracks sleep and I’ve found that 2 drinks affects my sleep while 3 drinks wrecks my sleep.
So butter is expensive in Denmark? What is your baseline?
The wear rate should be proportional to the weight of the system (car plus cargo and passsengers, bike plus cargo and riders), maybe with some correction factors for things that affect wear rate like knobbiness.
Since bikes weigh a couple orders of magnitude less on average, the amount of tire wear material should also be a couple orders of magnitude less.
Edit: other lemmyer said wear is proportional to weight to the 4th power and that may be correct. I vaguely recall that from school now that they mentioned it.
Cast iron, tools, bicycle parts.
You mean the illusion of control?
I try to be that open with my good dude friends, but I only have a couple I’d consider good. Most are superficial friendships based on a single common interest.
Mine says it’s ok so I do it.
So much this.
Keeping them to read them is different than keeping them to have them. The former is an in-use library, the latter is collecting.
Score!
I would love to see more repairable barefoot shoes. I’ve been in a pair of vapor gloves for about three years, they are getting close to wearing through under the forefoot but no way to repair them that I have found.
