I always watch everything you recommend and I have never been disappointed. Thanks for an awesome write-up. 😁 It's playing in an Alamo Drafthouse (meaning craft beer) theater and I don't have a Hulu subscription, so I guess I'd better go. I've …

So many great books, so little time! He did an interview with Chris Anderson, who runs TED. Chris is my second-favorite interviewer, after Terry Gross. I can't get through all the books, so I listen to interviews like this to either get the gist …

Huh. I would have thought 88% was very good. We rely heavily on cholesterol tests for heart disease but its predictive power seems more limited than this. Btw, the APOE4 gene is only in 14% of the population.

I talked to a serious cyclist this morning who rides in a group and one rider has a rear-facing camera. It has no live view, it only records incidents so you can use it for insurance or whatever. Pheh. Whatever happened to this concept and the …

Hahaha, we're totally off topic now but I don't care, it's my thread. I think YouTube is one of the greatest inventions of man. For example, my cousin* Danny grew up on the Isle of Skye with nothing to do but ride his bike. So he did a little …

That all sounds brilliant. Congratulations! ❤️ I'd be interested to know what the underlying causes of the bickering are, if you know or can guess. What causes such disagreement over location and time? I've been debating this some with parents who …

I am pretty sure it was low sodium for me simply from running, drinking water, and not eating much salt. Dad had high blood pressure, his doctors kept him off salt, and I figured it was in the genes and did same. I progressively got lower and …

Hahaha!!!! That was AMAZING!! 96 million views. No electricity, pure talent, great song from AC/DC. They out red-necked American rednecks. Teacher: What instrument do you play? Musician: the anvil. 😂

They turned heads a couple years ago with a simple 150ish-pound pretty fast dirt bike, but I thought "nah. Dirt-only. Too expensive. Looks like a blast tho." Well, they're out with a street-legal version and I want it. (Awesome photo from Popular …

Is the 🕷 judging you? Saying you are boring?

I came close to death from hyponatremia (over hydration). It's more common than I knew. I was 6 hours in the emergency room with a crew of doctors working on me. I could hear them but I couldn't see or respond and they couldn't tell if I was …

Yes, it's a thing and they sell them in Europe. Honda doesn't recommend mowing at more than 100 mph. Honda has made fast lawnmowers for awhile, but Viking stole their speed crown with this 134 mph …

Ugh, and now this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/19/iceland-holds-funeral-for-first-glacier-lost-to-climate-change

Pedestrians? I guess anyone with a cell phone, right?

Some are red:

These trees are everywhere in my neighborhood.

I have a strange habit of checking gfycat occasionally https://gfycat.com/boilingdangerouslaughingthrush

Yeah, apparently $50,000/year for the cheap model, the Veyron. But hey, at least it gets 7 mpg city

I used to be one of the two official photographers of Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. I will never forget showing up at the Lodge and watching Jay Leno arrive in his new Bugatti Veyron, the first I had ever …

Yeah, I just came back from Paris and it was crazy!! I imagine Ridar being the most use on open 2-lane roads with cars whizzing past my bicycle or them trying to left turn in front of my motorcycle. Isn't that the most common scenario for …

Yeah, that's awful. I read about the 70-something who kept breaking records in unbelievable ways. They seemed to prove he cheated. However, this 70-something broke the record in unbelievable ways but he has the GPS tracks to prove them all. …

Lidja said I had to include at least one spiderweb. I wanted one with a spider for @Dracula but alas. I was tempted to photoshop his spider into the …

Some of the flowers were tiny, like microscopic. I needed something in these photos for scale but my question is how do these get pollinated? I didn't seen any bees on …

I wish I had the run of the estate earlier in the morning to get softer light at a lower angle. It doesn't open until 10. Maybe I can convince them I'll give them beautiful flower photos to use if they let me in at …

Lidja seemed to know most of the names of the flowers. I had no idea except for Naked Ladies. That's a name which is hard to …
