To me it reads more like speech recognition trying its best with a strong accent or bad audio source.

Nah. I’m plenty old enough and it’s a shit headline, probably purposeful ragebait.

More than 800 service members ejected from US military under ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

WTF how is that possible, is that still in effect in some way??

receive honorable discharges

Didn’t say you had to. You do you.

UV light damages the plastics that the helmet is made of. Impacts, even small impacts, compress the foam. Temperature fluctuations burst the bubbles in the foam and cause stress which weakens the plastic.

The paragraph explains why even if it doesn’t explain how.

I have to say it only adds to my confusion. What the heck is a “concrete plate”??

the example looks like the worst possible surface imaginable for a road.

Gazelle. Sold by my local bike shop which I trust.

Little pricy and all in all I’d prefer something more open than Bosch. But… so far so good.

Several things:

  1. Bidet. ‘Nuff said.
  2. automatic litter box. Took a lot of training for our one dumb cat but since then … life changing.
  3. ebike. So many times I used to drive because I was feeling lazy or woke up just a smidge late… now I can just dial up the assist a notch and it’s no problem.
