In an effort to improve riding conditions so they might better enjoy their newly discovered sport, more than 100,000 cyclists from across the United States joined the League to advocate for paved roads. The success of the League in its first advocacy efforts ultimately led to our national highway system.

The fee should just be automatic and reflect the cost. $3500 to respond isn’t much.

$75

$75 is what would have saved their house.

$75 is less than I pay per month for home insurance on a smaller residence than the one described.

The firefighters have to draw a line in the sand at some point.

Communal services cost money. When enough people decide they don’t need to spend the $75 annual fee to support their communal firefighting service, it will collapse. The “morally right” thing to do is to put the fire out. But be morally right thing to do is pay the damn $75 in the first place. It’s just like people who choose not to join the union and enjoy the raises. Then get fired, because “right to work.”

Sink the buggers. Little green men all over again.

Or slinky catsuits. I bet they’re comfy, if perhaps stinky with the polyester/elastane combo. I remember reading that the TNG outfits were not at all comfortable, but that was 1980s tech. We have lululemon now.

Realtek, don’t they have issues with drivers in FreeBSD? Or am I horribly out of date.

In any case I’m excited, even if i barely tap into 1gbe capability most of the time.

This is something I’ve looked into in the past as well and with about 35 circuits to monitor, the Vue seems like a good one and done solution except it’s way too small, AND there’s mucking about with firmware which I’m none too excited about. I’m waiting for something better.

Tl;dr combo of strength, cardio, metcon, and accessory; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CLarKn-XkLo

“Proper” or “classic” or whatever you want to call it CrossFit is one workout per day, in a class setting. So you show up do some warmup, primer, workout, cool down and mobility, and done. The workout could be a classic CrossFit 5 rounds for time metcon, or it could just be 8 deadlifts building in weight, or it could be a 5k run. This style of training can have tremendous benefit to general population.

As CrossFit gained popularity, competitions emerged, including of course the CrossFit games. To prepare for these competitions, some semi-professional athletes began doing multiple CrossFit metcons in a day. However, it is patently obvious (except to the CrossFit diehards) that practicing your clean and jerk either only at submaximal load in a state of cardiovascular exhaustion is not going to materially improve the performance in comparison to a normal progressive overload cycle. Hence, multiple metcons in a day fell out of favour for programming combining a traditional, but low volume strength cycle (which could lean towards powerlifting or weightlifting) with dedicated skill progressions in the “gymnastic” movements, cardio, and traditional CrossFit style high intensity multimodal workouts, all in a single integrated program. The pros continue to do a ton of volume compared to what most people can handle in terms of time and volume.

I don’t actually compete, I just know that with my athletic background (I don’t have one) and my age (I’m not 19) I can’t put on reasonable strength or skill without dedicated time for it, but I also like doing metcons.

Musk takes the fall. We all knew that already.

Precooked onions depend on what you’re trying to achieve with them. Caramelized is another story too.

I have noticed that simply coating the balls of dough with a bit of oil before proofing changes the color of the finished dough; a little more char.

Biggest thing, unfortunately, is high heat. Before I got a pizza oven, I was experimenting with two stones. One on top of the pizza. They need to be really hot, not just in the oven for a while.
