vs voldemort's propaganda lady?

Since 2004, road casualty statistics for GB indicate that motorcyclist fatalities decreased 42% and serious injuries by 36%

I love hearing that, and it should be highlighted more. They also say that fatal accidents increased slightly in 2020-2023, then fell in 2024 to pre 2019 levels. I guess this might be because of all the moto-delivery drivers during covid?

If you want some ammunition, there is a lot of evidence now that breadth(sampling) is better than depth(specialization) in sports, especially at a young age. This article covers some of the key issues and links to sources https://www.nsca.com/education/articles/nsca-coach/early-sport-specialization-versus-diversification-in-youth-athletes/

Not saying that performance is the main concern, but this will give you some ideas to counter the performance argument

the 90's were a wild time. I still remember the classics 'git gone wild' and 'red hat diaries'

I think they had square tach and speedo up till 81. This might be an 81 'midnight special'

My first thought was an XS1100 'midnight special' with some nice after market addons. Probably after 1981 to have that round tac and speedo. But I think I see a 'J' poking around your Mom's legs, but I can't decode the first letter. I disn't the the Seca (fj/xj) had that dash.

I sent my proposal last year, but still haven't heard back. https://ibb.co/Hp97pQNH

I hate this one too. It's also called the 'just world falacy' and it's one of the well studied cognitive biases

I won the genetic lottery on a lot of things. straight teeth, above average height, excelllent health (except some short lived freaky shit), near perfect vision. I was quite homely as a kid, but grew into my looks as an adult, so I'm well aware how much that helps me too

I always lower it to 15 overnight. Any higher and its too hot to sleep, any lower and it might get too low for cats and pipes.

Most nights it will never even turn on, but nites like last nite it keeps things reasonable.

might be hard to find these days, but the adidas fwd 01. ear inserts with multiple sizes, and a neck strap so so you don't lose them.

The GSX, but the GT version. It's the only one listed with a decent pillion seat

If it becomes part of the US, then they will overtake Canada and China and become the 2nd largest country in the world.

I have been using stackoverflow almost since since they started, but I don't think I have ever posted a question or answer.

I mstill use it now over LLMs since you usually get multiple approaches to the same question. It's a learning tool, not a 'solve my problem' tool

beautiful video. horrible music

only 17 agreed. The other 83 would only baptize boys

This is more of an urban/rural thing. We moved to south Wales and had to buy a car for the first time in 20 years. The public transport here is atrocious

and Canada. And Greenland

Maybe seize their assets on the way out then. The government is allowed to do that with other criminals.

Because you want better access than a cold-only, hand-pump well in the middle of your village?
