The continental rubber on adidas shoes lasts forever....
The rubber on their top end shoes like takumi sen and pro 3 is only 1-2mm thick but i've hit 800-900km in them
Also i'm a pretty light person so i dont wear out the foam much

AI is fine if you know what you're doing and can correct the mistakes it makes (i.e. use it as fancy code completion)
I'm not a developer and i havent touched code for over 10 yrs, but when i heard about my company pushing AI tools on the devs, i thought exactly what you said. It should be a tool for experienced devs who already know what they're doing....
Lo and behold they did the opposite... They fired all the senior people and pushed AI on the interns and new grads.... and then expected AI to suddenly make the jr devs work like the expensive Sr devs they just fired...
Wtf

this is always a fun one for me because i see it in person every year. circuit races are great for the spectators
i joined the recon rides with some of the pro teams this afternoon.. it's insane how much stronger these guys are than your average club rider. these guys were laughing and chatting up the climb and i was doing almost my max 5min effort (~4.65W/kg) just to hang in with the group.
also, i followed mohoric on a descent! even the non-mohoric riders have such amazing descending skills.... on a short descent that i know quite well, i lost over 10 seconds gap to some AG2R riders

There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.
Too many smug people think, "advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it..."
Wrong.... Advertising works. And that's the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.
You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me.... i KNOW i'm not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.
Are google maps reviews even moderated? I've found them to be complete trash for years now

Well thats kind of the point of my statement about "it's 2024"
I understand game AI is a complex problem. But it seems like we havent made any progress since civ3.... And we're right in the middle of an AI hype cycle... Can we not use AI for something useful like games? Instead of just making deepfakes, disinformation, and firing workers?

It's 2024... Please fix the AI...
Biggest weakness in every civ game is the shitty AI that requires massive cheating, and terrible diplomacy (constantly making ridiculous demands, then getting mad and denouncing you if you dont hand over the goods)

Why was the FDJ rider pulling for niewiadoma on final climb? She attacked and couldnt drop niewiadoma, but continued to pull anyway.....
It's criminal what sdworx did to vollering... 4 seconds.... Like, one decent pull from any of her teammates after the crash would have been a 4 second difference. Totally unprofessional to abandon your leader like that.

if you privately purchase a company you take on their debt/liabilities as part of your business strategy, forcing customers to pay your new debt when there was no alternate provider is just a horrible practise. Ontario should have force Enwin to just absorb it as part of the takeover...it left it public.
Public debts to support private profits! The canadian way!!

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access. Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her? Thanks Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

i need a photo gallery with the following requirements: - renders nicely on mobile - password protected sharing links - allows downloading entire zipped album nextcloud does 2/3 of these already, but the UI totally sucks when rendered on mobile among many other issues. it used to be my go to sharing solution, but the photo app has become worse and worse with every upgrade. i even tried the memories app, but it's not that different from the default photo app. i looked through all the links here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#photo-and-video-galleries but most of the projects are WAY too complicated and overkill for what i need. i don't need any photo management, face detection, AI etc..... i'm literally just dropping a folder of vacation pictures onto my server and generating a public sharing link. that's all. any new ideas would be much appreciated thanks

EDIT: if you're going to downvote the post, please comment and say why.... i'm happy to learn what kind of content is not welcome here. this is a very new community that's a bit dead and lacking content. so it's not really helpful to just downvote things without saying why at this early stage full text from the bird site thread: >Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep, various close sources have informed RadioCycling, with the world champion unhappy about the team’s future direction and doubting if they can support his ambitions, such as winning the Tour de France in 2024. > > We understand that Evenepoel’s camp have contacted a number of teams after concerns over QuickStep’s finances. Evenepoel also doesn’t believe his wage compares with that of his peers. It's thought he earns no more than €4m after bonuses, compared to Pogačar’s reported €7m. > > One close source to Evenepoel said: “It will all come down to money… and his current contract underpays him. Patrick Lefevere needs to adapt his contract or risk conflict.” > > Evenepoel has a contract until the end of 2026 and we understand there are no breakout clauses. > > Ineos Grenadiers are the clear favourites to sign Evenepoel and met with his representatives last autumn. But RadioCycling understands that Israel-PremierTech are also a genuine possibility, with Evenepoel’s camp having very close relationships with Israel staff members > > Despite rumours linking both Lidl-Trek and Bora-hansgrohe to Evenepoel, senior sources at both teams said they haven’t opened up discussions with the 23-year-old. Multiple sources have confirmed that any transfer would be a “package deal” involving Specialized. > > Signing Evenepoel, however, is not easy. Despite reports to the contrary, sources have confirmed that all outstanding bonuses have been paid, therefore there is no contract breach. Patrick Lefevere told RadioCycling: “I don’t owe €1 to anybody. Everything is paid.” > > That means the only possibility for Evenepoel departing is if someone buys out his remaining contract, something that is likely to cost in excess of €10m. Lefevere insists that he won't sell. > > He also rubbished claims Ineos owner Jim Ratcliffe could buy QuickStep’s licence. just some rumour fodder to fill some time on TdF rest day seems bonkers insane that IPT is in the conversation, given that sylvan adams is already regretting setting a pile of cash on fire with froomey

i installed debian with KDE for a friend years ago... is there a way to upgrade to bookworm using the "discover" GUI? or are they going to have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list? not they they are incapable of doing something simple like this, but just wondering if there is a GUI method to do a full version upgrade thanks
We took away two important descending tools from the riders 1. Supertuck 2. Fake aero bars/puppy paws (i hate that term, carlton) Do you think that riders would take less risk on turns if they could still do supertuck? Or would riders supertuck AND take big risks on hairpins? Not blaming Mader or saying he took risks. But the incident made me think about risk management
