AND it's a fixie?? Is that the norm for tall-bikes? We have a bunch here in Portland (Ore.) and I always figured they had breaks but never really looked closely... but I see none in the video. That seems 10x as terrifying.

A slight modification: though slow, they can have multiple un/loading points. The main gondola at Whistler has a mid-mountain loading point along with a top and bottom un/loading point. The Peak to Peak Gondola only has a loading

Exactly. The Deck had great, non-intrusive adds. And they generally plugged good products. I clicked on just about everything I saw on Daring Fireball, both out of support for Gruber and because I was often introduced to new and interesting

for clarity, though sometimes called a "dolphin", mahi mahi is a fish, not in the Mammalia class, like an actual Dolphin... so they are quite different.

That seems like a poor example. Seatbelts are a measurable safety benefit to nearly every single person who drives or rides in a car. The deaf OR hard of hearing population of the united states is roughly 4.1% (10.6 million). A closer examp

I'm not familiar with the area, but he could have also carried the chest on a Pack Mule. Short of treacherous terrain they are quite sure-footed. Or was there some indication he carried the chest to the location himself? Other than the

I had this impression for a long time as well, because it was true, but it may not be true any more. I can't pull it up right now (at work) but Santa Cruz did a great video comparing the strength of their carbon fiber frames to their a

This has been my primary (ignored) hesitation with the consumption of coffee and other caffeinated beverages - the worry about the increased heart rate therefrom reducing my longevity. The threat has definitely not stopped my consumption, t

A bit of both. I just checked, and in my specific examples the curry was sold by another retailer and fulfilled by Amazon and the Ear Plugs were sold by Amazon. Both with similar markups when compared to brick and mortor retail.

I wonder what percentage of goods that Amazon sells are still being sold at low-margin prices though. Most things I see on Amazon these days are more expensive than at my local store. Two examples from yesterday: Rani Hot Curry Powder (Amaz

The article mentions a similar tournament that occurred last year where the human players won against the AI. Accomplishing this turn-around in the span of a year seems like quick progress to me, and also impressive. It is certainly a link

In that same vein, I plug The History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps as often as I can. It is thorough, expansive, and succinct. Given how intertwined Philosophy was with government and religion there is significant background information r

This settlement was even more bogus than the bogus sounding words make it sound. It is basically a non-remedy remedy. The judgment gave members of the class 1) 1 $2.xx voucher or 2) a "free ticket" (coupon) to a qualifying show. I

I have always thought the anti-doping rage a bit odd - without writing an essay, Sports Illustrtated had a great op-ed piece around 2008 re what would you rather watch: steroid baseball or non-steroid baseball. The clear implication being t

Per [1] it looks like there was an agreement between Mr. Cushing's estate and Industrial Light & Magic. I would be surprised if this did not involve some sort of compensation to the estate. In this day and age though, I would also

I got curious after reading your comment, and it appears that even though the max rating in wine scoring is 100, the min value is 50. So it's /50, really... still relatively accurate(?) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w

FWIW, it seems like even professionals cannot distinguish between a Stradivari and a new violin... and may even prefer the latter. "When the researchers totaled up the results, there was no evidence the players could reliably pick old

China seems to have acknowledged, through action at least, that the state of the environment is a concern. They are certainly putting their money towards renewables. [1] [1] http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33143176

Perhaps not totally on-topic, but he was also hilarious and charasmatic, as evidenced by his guest appearance on Frasier. I knew his name when I saw the episdoe years ago, but his charm got me to read much more about him. https:/&#x2F

Truly curious - what do you find his writing lacking? I am always surprised when people with any literary bent do not like him (this is the first I have heard someone who has read more than Lolita say as much...). I find his story construct

I highly recommend reading some of his other books if you enjoyed Lolita - I find them to be more complicated (in a good way) and also written magnificently. The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Bend Sinister, Despair, 'Ada, or Ardor&#x2

Same. I recently played Zelda: A Link To the Past (on my iPhone, nonetheless, which is cool to a non-tech inclined person!), and I felt like I was a kid again. All the same emotions flooded back, just from listening to that unforgettable
