I kind of feel like #Tesla cars look better now because the design department is being given free rein with Elon Musk focusing on Twitter. :P









Why Democracy Is Mathematically Impossible

Democracy might be mathematically impossible – here’s why.

A few great proofs of Arrow’s impossibility theorem:



"New Foothills Trail Extension/Infill"


For many years, the Foothills Trail was divided into two sections: the lower section that most locals knew about, and the "Missing Link" as I came to call it. The latter started a bit east of South Prairie, then wound its way up to 268th Avenue-Court East across four bridges.

Pierce County condemned the right of way between the two sections a little while ago, and recently completed the trail in said right of way. This section is shown here.

I kind of wish #HDMI had screws kind of like old DB connectors. The connectors seem to slip out of their ports over time and are easy to accidentally unplug. :(

the cw hides text but you have to set the image to sensitive or it's just on 😬

well anyway, thanks for reminding me I need to unsharpen my pedals
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Ah yes, I probably have the same thing, now on day five for me. I manged to get out and bike 12 km yesterday, but feel worse today, stuck on the sofa.

So how did you manage to draw blood, then?





Anyone else have trouble getting the two "sides" of their brains to "talk" to each other? :'( #aurism

(Don't worry, I've been seeing an #EMDR specialist for a while now, who also does other types of therapy. -w- )

It's kind of wild how few things faze kittens. :3



The face I make internally whenever I get junk mail, bills, or phone calls.


I used to have a liter bike, but going 110+ MPH on public roads just to hear/feel it sing just didn't seem right to me after doing it for a while.

I'm plenty happy going 80-100 MPH on my CBR650R, and so is the bike. :3 #motorcycle

The More I Ride, The Less I Want a 1000cc

What's the point if you need electronic nannies to make the bike rideable? With only 94 crankshaft horsepower, my CBR650R's cable throttle is plenty adequate.

I also rarely trigger its ABS because I know how to use my brakes (but I'm glad to have it just in case). :P
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

I think the reason so many manufactuerers offer so many bikes in the 650-800 range is that's really the best displacement for a road going machine.


This is a very informative and helpful video, but it reeks how things are this way in the US when it comes to liability, cars, and healthcare. :/

So You Got Hit by a Car—Here's The Part Nobody Talks About


Hopefully none of you ever get hit by a car while riding your bicycle. Unfortunately, this happens to thousands of cyclists every year. While some people do recover physically from their accident, they often get slapped with thousands or even hundreds of thousands in medical bills that insurance won't cover. Today, we'll talk about the ways you can prevent that from happening, should you collide with a motor vehicle while riding your bike.

The video is full of good information. The basic point is treat it like any other car crash. Take pictures. Get a police report. Talk to witnesses. Exchange information with the other person. All the stuff you would normally do. Gather as much information at the time of the incident as you can. Maybe you won't need it but you can't go back in time when you realize you forgot something.



"Oso Landslide Memorial"


This gate is what had been here all this time, but the county/state has spruced it up significantly since I was last here.

Volunteering on a heritage railroad sounds like fun. :3c


Fruit flies have eyelashes. :P



The Gogoro electric scooters in Taipei look pretty cool. 👀
