Midweek Post for October 10, 2023 - Ride Essentials: Cycling Computers

Image By Jordan Brierly from Unsplash.com No doubt that technology can be a great thing, and the assistance it gives us in everyday life is unmistakable. Nowhere is that more true than in cycling where tech advances have greatly enhanced and improved various aspects of the sport. One of those advancements, cycling computers are, at times, much maligned for sapping the joy from the beautiful…

MyWhoosh $1,000,000 Championship Races!

The MyWhoosh Championship races are almost here. If you want a chance to win a cut of the $1,000,000 prize, you need to get your registration in before the 17th April! With the rise of the smart-trainer and the virtual worlds they allow us to inhabit, it was inevitable that racing would take place. As cyclists it’s not enough to be able to ride up Alpe de Huez while never leaving our garage: we…

Strava has jumped the shark.

A couple of years ago, Strava decided it would be a good idea to start charging for their services. OK, fair enough, you want to make some money. But usually when you do that, you roll out some cool new features that will entice users to buy in. What you don’t do, if you’re smart, is take previously free features and stick them behind the paywall. But that’s exactly what they did. A lot of folks did buy in because they were desperate to be able to see their workout analytics. I didn’t go that route because frankly, I already get the same capabilities from Garmin Connect (which is “free” but hey I really paid for it when I bought my watch, which is my fourth Garmin watch). I’ve stuck around on Strava just to be able to post workouts and pics for friends to see but I’ve never been remotely tempted to subscribe. All of which makes me feel bad for friends who do subscribe and are now seeing a 50% price increase this year. That puts Strava in Training Peaks and FinalSurge territory. Lol, who are they kidding, really? Had Strava handled things a little differently I might have made them my log of choice but bad business practices and no concept of how deliver value have me now just waiting to see them fail.

I’ve been trying to form an opinion on niall lynch so i would love to hear your pov as a niall lynch apologist!!

As a fandom we are lead to believe throughout trc that niall lynch was a bad father and a shitty person who favoured one of his sons over the others and made this very apparent. But then you read the dreamer tril and you get this bigger picture of this man who wanted to live with his family on this perfect, secluded, magical farm that he had created for them. He wanted to dream cattle and curiosities and HE. LOVED. HIS. SONS. The thing that took me out the most about him was the way he loved. Niall loves how ronan loves. Or rather, ronan loves the way niall did, and it's fierce and whole-hearted and COMPLETE. He was such a comfort for these boys, he was a storyteller, he was their safe place. BUT LIKE ALL GREAT PEOPLE, he was flawed!!! So incredibly flawed and there's that quote idk where it's from but that it's your parents first time doing this as well as yours and how can we expect to know everything and do everything right? Niall Lynch was an idiot and maybe he made a lot of bad decisions, (and declan definitely deserved better in a lot of respects and I'm not excusing all of niall's behaviour) BUT he was Good, in the way we all try to be. And he loved Declan! He loved him so much. He loved Ronan because of Declan, for Declan... are you listening to me?!!? I go insane over this. I'm kissing Niall Lynch. I'm kissing the New Fenian. AHHHHHH

Many nights at 11:15 pm I realize that I didn't do anything I wanted to get done that evening, though nor did I do anything to relax, and instead spent it all...idk, languidly washing dishes, pacing around my apartment, and scrolling apps. And I always say 'tomorrow...tomorrow I will use my time wisely'. Ad nauseam.

a lot of people talk about how horrible tumblr is for people with moral ocd, paranoia, or other illnesses that could make, "IF YOU DON'T REBLOG, YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON AND HAVE NO HEART" or "heyyyy, just a lil' friendly reminder if you do x you're a horrible pos who should die :)))))" absolutely detrimental to your mental health. WHICH IS TRUE. but. tumblr is geniunely NOTHING compared to tiktok. the guilt shaming is 10x stronger, these types of posts are a 100x more common, and probably the worst aspect of it is that because how algorithm-centered tiktok is, if you give into the compulsion on every post you see, eventually your entire fyp just become videos like this. (and if you don't know already, like 80%-90 of your time will be spent on this fyp, unlike tumblr's dashboard where atleast in my experience, most of my time is searching through tags.) the app your *supposed* to be leisurely scrolling on becomes literally a compulsion/ritual fulfilling minefield, and it gets to the point you honestly fear opening the app because you know as soon as you do, you'll just be flooded with millions of posts where you know you can't ignore (without freaking tf out) but acting on the compulsion doesn't help, because the next post will start the cycle all over again.

I've honestly decided to soft-delete the the app, which for me is just not using it at all because despite everything, I enjoy using the app when it's not like this and I still have tons of memories saved on there. but just. god.

I think what really gets me about the Raven Cycle series is how irreplaceable each member of the gang is. If any of the core members were taken out, it just wouldn’t be the same. And that’s simply all I’ve ever wanted to experience

Hot take: Realistically, Adam would not have gotten into Harvard or any Ivy League

i accept your hot take and i raise you: Adam probably wouldn't have been able to afford more than a couple college applications.
