@ascentale seeing this post from a BlueSky user made me wonder about other homemade food or drink recipes for cycling. Question for bikenite: what are your favorites?

figuring out I could just dump a quarter cup of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, and some lemon juice into my water bottle and get Race Fuel for like 10% of what REI charges for the branded stuff was an eye opener [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Texas Universities are now like police departments who would prefer to pay out the inevitable lawsuits rather than stop breaking the law
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.
Texas A&M won’t reinstate fired lecturer despite findings
A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

A Cybertruck went offroading one day
Why it rolled one can say
It just wouldn't stop the brakes were a flop
And a big towing bill the owner did pay

That -11% YoY traffic reduction is actually a bit more impressive than it seems bc traffic was actually getting 3-5% *worse* each year prior.

The true reduction is closer to 14%-16% compared to where we would be without the tolls today.

I'll add that pro-piracy advocates are militant in their observation that technology is not inherently this or that, that it's all just how the technology is used. The subtext is, okay, maybe these things are designed w/ zero security and are a major security liability, but hey you can still […]

Kushner and Witkoff are murder-inducing monsters.

Microsoft's "north star" for porting C and C++ to Rust with AI is "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code." If that engineer has no other responsibilities, that is about 0.6 lines per second to review... or not. May what is to come reflect on Microsoft and not Rust.
