Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren't mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn't an apples vs oranges comparison.

This is just a personal opinion but I suspect the trend is not linear. There will be a surge in acceptance and then possibly a calm in popularity. Social pressures aside, I feel there may be some portion of the world that is bi/pan but not in numbers so large that it would be a huge shift in current status quos. We're also at a time when mental health is seeing an identity crisis and we're trying to label every quirk. Gender identity almost seems like part of a shotgun approach to try and fix other issues.

I do not want to sound like I'm downplaying the importance of sexual orientation and gender identity, but there's just so much going on socially with how fast we're moving as a culture with the Internet that it's hard to predict what is real and what is trendy.

Of course I could be entirely wrong.

The best part about this is that the section near the tip is clearly more worn out than the rest.

Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won't get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won't get a good night's sleep because my heart will be racing.

So...only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don't bother at all since the benefits don't really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn't really fix any of the aforementioned issues.

"You didn't bring back the real Jesus. This is a false flag. Jesus was a Soros plant and not the same savior mentioned in the Bible." Is probably what people will say if you did the former.

You add your milk before the ball bearings? Wtf is wrong with you?

The real answer is that it's not as interesting to film and write a story around. In cars, they're louder and faster. You can set up scenarios for injured passengers and gunners. You can build up tension with zombies smacking the windows.

Bikes are too practical for action flicks and harder to mount cameras to for 3rd or 1st person chase shots. Not impossible, but also not something that relates as much to the general carbrained audience.

Some of the replies here speak of difficulty for spare parts. But it's pretty easy to stock up on basic components and repairing is way easier than a vehicle. Also, you don't need to look for fuel constantly. In a post apocalyptic world, fuel would be quiet scarce without a steady stream of production and would likely be more useful for electric generators or heating in winter. Vehicular travel would have to be hauling lots of cargo or people to be worthwhile to burn all that precious fuel.

That being said, it's entirely possible to make a damn good zombie flick with bikes being a more prominent mode of transport in certain settings. New stunts and different terrain.

On the contrary, when I'm going for a long bike ride, I'm literally drinking syrup for fuel and eating high carb snacks.

The carbs are great sources of energy, but aren't meant for post workout. Just enough to power through a long, multi-hour cardio session and avoid bonking out.

It's the reward you get to have while doing the work and a healthy meal with whole foods is what you have afterwards. Good to train yourself that the sweets should never be at the end.

For anyone only doing short exercise sessions, absolutely no reason to carb load or fuel on anything other than water and maybe some electrolytes. Especially if weight loss is the goal. Even then, diet should be priority 1 over exercise. That one Oreo could cost you 30 minutes to burn off.

She got them at 12. 14 was when she saw in appropriately edited content of her.

If you extract enough energy from pedaling to charge a battery while also travelling, you'll definitely end up using more power than less. Which absolutely defeats the purpose.

All these "smart" ideas would already be implemented if they were actually clever and deployable. The reason no one does it is because physics doesn't work that way.

There is not a hard and fast rule for how big your emergency fund should be but there are definitely a lot of folks in the personal finance community who have at least 6 months in some type of readily available account that's not tied up in 401k or other investment funds which have early withdrawal penalties.

How much you save comes down to the individuals ability to do so and how much risk they are at if they were to suddenly lose a source of steady income and how much debt they currently have. For people with a lot of ongoing expenses, it'd be smart to try and pad up some safety net so they don't have their life completely fall apart if they somehow lost their job. This also might vary if you are single income or multiple streams for the household.

6 months is probably on the higher side since there's the opportunity cost of not investing surplus money somewhere that could have a higher rate of returns. Usually money that is in emergency funds have lower interest rates as a tradeoff. And if you have upwards of 4 months or more, you can use that time to draw from other accounts for more money if you see that the emergency fund isn't enough.

Dynamo lights work off a similar principle. It extracts energy from pedaling or the wheels spinning to power lights on the bike. You can feel the drag and it's probably about 5w of power. Really not a whole lot. About the same energy you'd save from wearing smooth socks or cleaning the chain for some perspective.

The extra weight required to implement a solution like yours would probably rob the rider of any gains. But in a very theoretical sense it could work if the material weighed an insignificant amount.

You can also look up last year's Unbound 200 mile and compare the Elite men VS Elite women results. It's the same course but they start with offset times. The top men finish about 1.5 hours faster than the women. But the fastest women definitely finish faster than some of the men and overtake them during the race.

That said, I've also listened to interviews with the female cyclists who prefer the separate start. I believe this race series used to be combined genders. What they prefer is that they can actually start the race knowing their rivals and setting pace accordingly. In a larger group for an endurance race, it's possible to misjudge your opponents and burn out faster than you'd like or chase the wrong targets. The women's field gives everyone a better idea of how to set pace since there is a natural separation throughout the course.

Even if women have better stamina, the power output is not the same which results in a different pace on average.

Except they shed micro plastics everywhere including the water supply.

Many people never matured beyond high school.

I've been to Portland, ME a few times for vacation and one time a few of us decided to bike everywhere. Couldn't go car free since our hotel was a bit far away, but once we parked, it was bikes all day. There wasn't a ton about Portland that made it stand out in terms of places you can't find in other towns, but the ability to ride around to all those places made the difference between a vacation destination and just a thing to do for a weekend.

To have the same experience in terms of types of places to visit in a day my area would require driving 10-20 minutes between each spot which definitely takes the winds out of the sails for trying to enjoy yourself.

It was pretty popular into the early 2000s as well as far as I'm concerned. Just not in media as much.

Options for word choices have diminished and aren't as edgy, but I still see men call each other cupcakes and removed in lieu of using more classical words.

Edit: Guess there's some pretty strong word filters here. It was the b-word in case anyone was wondering. Feel like I'm in elementary school...

We're about to have some quality quantum-titties in the future.

When the tectonic plates collide again to form another supercontinent, it will create enough heat to kill off most, if not all, mammals. And it will happen before the sun destroys everything, probably in around 250 million years or so.

This video is so "left-brained" (debunked myth) that it misses the point of Lynch's work. He makes contemporary art where there's some meaning to things, but it's mostly there to provoke thought, apply your own interpretations, and tell commentary about a whole slew of other things.

Sometimes it could be a minor reference to something he likes, or an expression of emotion at a given time. But to draw the lines from every detail to fully explain something is not how he should be seen. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from enjoying his works that way, but I feel it misses so much by being logical.

Maggie Mae Fish's videos on Twin Peaks seems much more accurate for how Twin Peaks can be explained. By pointing out some abstract themes and references, it both explains and leaves the mystique in tact.
