I have a Kickr Core connected to Zwift, which is nicer than just spinning endlessly since it’ll adjust the resistance (unless in ERG mode). But it still gets boring and it’s not like riding on the road. My ass still takes a hit. Standing once in a while helps, but I think the idea another poster had of just taking occasional breaks is best.

I’d like to get a rocker plate, but even there I suspect for longer rides breaks will be needed since you just don’t get the same movement as out on the road.

The brief order did not detail the court’s reasoning, as is typical, but says three justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — would have sided with Oklahoma.

Of course those asshats did. They don’t care about the law or the constitution, just their feels.

I think we can do both. Google is trying to keep from repatriating profits so they don’t need to pay taxes. Russia took it. Fuck Russia, but I can’t feel too bad for Google.

“An originalist and strict constructionist understanding of the Constitution in the Scalia and Thomas tradition, as well as precedent-setting U.S. Supreme Court cases ... have found that a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ is defined as a person born on American soil of parents who are both citizens of the United States at the time of the child’s birth,” the document states.

The group then cites six cases including *Dred Scott v Sandford. *The 1857 ruling came a few years before the 1861 outbreak of the US Civil War over the issue of slavery, stating that enslaved people could not be citizens, meaning that they couldn’t expect to receive any protection from the courts or the federal government. The ruling also said that Congress did not have the power to ban slavery from a federal territory.

They’re kinda forgetting about the whole 14th Amendment thing which changes the constitution to ban slavery. An amendment is very different than a law banning slavery.

With my brother I’ve started asking “are you looking for advice or do you just want someone to vent to?”. I think most people can do better playing both roles.

It’s by design

It’s getting to the point that it’s almost worth going back to cable since they all have streaming now too. Why pay for 6 subscriptions when you could have just one like we did in the 80’s.

I would totally try that
