I'm looking at my 2 MIPS helmets right now and your comment is complete nonsense. If anything the MIPS layer will allow for more breathability.

Why do you think that a tool to help people break the rules is somehow good for society?

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Basketball has evolved into a game of calculated decision-making

"Only 3s and layups" is the current easiest strategy to build a proficient offense, but it's certainly not the only way.

You don't even have to look far for an example. The Denver Nuggets won a championship a year and a half ago while nearly attempting the fewest 3s in the league.

> In the past, the team built its roster around a big name like Shaq. Most of the offense were from the center. This has now changed...

Is the author not aware of Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, (Wembanyama... soon)? The winners of the last 6 MVP awards? If there were enough talented bigs to go around, every team in the league would be building around them because it works really, really well.

I have to admit it's pretty funny that all of the citations in the piece are just more of his own opinions.

Absolute nonsense.

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Time to subsidize e-bikes?

There is plenty of data on this topic and it all shows that people riding bikes break rules at the same or lower rate than people driving cars. And unlike cars, they aren't one of the leading causes of death in the US.

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Parler shuts down as new owner says conservative platform needs big revamp

I was hoping to read more about the dispute you were talking about.

As far as I can tell the dispute is that twitter didn't pay the rent and the building owner wants them to pay the rent, which is how this has been reported.

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Parler shuts down as new owner says conservative platform needs big revamp

This is just the lawsuit of the building owner suing twitter for not paying rent. Is there something else?

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Parler shuts down as new owner says conservative platform needs big revamp

This was widely reported by dozens of news outlets. You can take your pick across the political spectrum.

I don't know anything about BusinessInsider, what specifically makes you say they are a propaganda outlet pushing a narrative? And what is the narrative?

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Parler shuts down as new owner says conservative platform needs big revamp

Do you really believe him when he says Twitter is breaking even when he's not paying his bills, and probably not paying his loan interest?

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Denver’s e-bike subsidy program produced more new riders, fewer car trips

Tens of millions?

You're gonna have to educate me on the projects you're talking about. It's taken them 7 years to put a bike lane down Broadway and it isn't even gonna be that fantastic.

The safe streets program created some wonderful spaces and routes, so of course they dismantled them for no reason.

Cap Hill, the most densely populated area of the city has no north-south bike route that I would ever dream of taking my children on. The East-west route on 11th is a death trap that cuts in and out in order to maintain a few car storage spaces.

The crown jewel, the I-25 for bikes in Denver, the Cherry Creek Trail requires users to play frogger across Speer, a 4 lane highway, in order to access much of it.

We can go on and on with these.

DOTI is an organization that is 100% dedicated to moving cars, every bike and pedestrian project is implemented with the first goal being to not inconvenience drivers.

That being said, you are right that it's light years ahead of Phoenix.

PpEY4fu85hkQpnon Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues

I agree. The people who call Safari the new IE probably don't know what zoom: 1; does and how fundamentally broken so many basic things were in IE6.
