They do it for cars on highways, why not for cyclists?

Material only really matters on inclination and for acceleration. The more important part is aerodynamics, but even then we’re not talking more than a few watts. A good hybrid, maybe around 700€, is more than good enough for an amateur level today. Something with Shimano 105, if you can find it, but that’s more about longevity.

When I was in highschool I cycled to school on a 100€ bike every day and when I eventually got a speedometer, I realized I was going about 35 km/h. I was a little crazy though, I would arrive at school late and drenched in sweat almost every day…

If you cycle as a sport it is pretty much the minimum speed. You can easily reach a consistent 40 or 45 km/h in a sprint as well. But this is all on a road bike of course, which makes it considerably easier.

I’m pretty sure I’ve actually said that…

I listen to a lot of basic news stuff like Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes, not because those are particularly good, but just to feed my addiction to news…

One podcast I genuinely enjoy and find hilarious though, is If Books Could Kill with Michael and Peter. Sometimes I disagree with their takes, but I always find them hilarious. Website: https://www.ifbookspod.com/. 100% recommend :)

Yep, this is it ↑↑↑ thanks!

Upon closer inspection I realize that this is 46% of the drained battery — so 46% of 33%, which is only about 15% of my total battery life. On the whole that is worth it for me, I really like AntennaPod :)

Maybe I should listen to fewer podcasts…

Alt text: Antenna pod using 46% of battery, notably no social media apps are present :P

James Hoffman is dead??

/jk, but this meme is really too sad to joke about…

I knew already but feel the same way every time I hear about it :'(

It just asked me what it should do when I press the power button. Pretty painless, 🤷. End of the day it’s just another win for GrapheneOS though.
