epitrochoidal

Not here to comment on the general topic of his post, but to point out that asserting that "none of these graphics contain even a glancing reference to gender" when several include the common symbols for male and female is disingenuous.

Shopping for cycling shoes sucks. I've had the very same experiences, from the poor selection in stores to the differences between instances of the same shoe model from different years. Last time, I got a second pair and told myself it was ok because now I can rotate shoes and let them dry between daily rides like I do with helmets.

> Personally I think that the US should go the route of a national voting holiday.

Agree. Voting is important, and a voting holiday calls that out.

Austin, TX (where I currently live) and Minneapolis (where I have lived in the past) are not cheap places to live. Lower COL than SF, sure, but hardly inexpensive.

> apparently dying in excessive numbers

No agenda there whatsoever, of course.

>I don't think we should excuse the many failures of our leaders, but I also don't think the now-obvious economic impact of this crisis was that clearcut even a month ago.

Good way of looking at it.

>make sure you check what your camera "sees" in the background, and clean that up.. wall=OK, pile of laundry 3 weeks old= NOT ok

I can only assume that's why Teams has the "blur background" option.

It's definitely not for everyone. I've been doing it exclusively for three years, and I love the commute (walk upstairs) and the flexibility. I don't like missing out on deskside chats with co-workers. In my ideal world, everyone on my team would be remote, which, as of today, they will be for the next week, maybe longer.

Even if that responsibility exists, and a number of individuals have questioned whether it does, it doesn't necessarily follow that such maximization needs to be solely focused on short-term gain.

I tried that one, but it doesn't work when there is another policy that says you are only allowed one password change per day.

I don't know how it is in Europe, but those sorts of things are not typically covered by insurance in the US, except in cases where the reconstruction is related to a medical condition or accident (I got a nicer nose after breaking the original in a bicycling accident; the reconstruction was covered by health insurance). I assume those coming from EU to US for treatment would be self-pay for the treatment, yes?

You mean, like Medicare? OK, it's not with every provider, just anyone who wants to be a provider.

The procedure later, away from the accident scene, probably was more involved, but at the scene, unless there was evidence of negligence or bed intent I wouldn't expect an arrest. She didn't flee. Apparently didn't appear impaired. What would they possibly arrest her for?

Just curious, how do you identify a "real conservative"? Fiscal policy, social policy, what's the differentiator?

irregardless, you knew what he meant, right?
