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.
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.
Would be ideal to release with the price they need it to be and do a price cut later but I know that's difficult to do realistically.
We're not getting any younger here. Prices have been creeping up for a while and the longer we wait, the idea of saving a few hundred dollars might end up being a wash with inflation and time lost. Also, there's no guarantee prices won't be even higher in 6 months.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's poor UI but also I think it's a sign that the userbase has been coddled too much with things like this. Even Google adding the search bar widget to their homescreen of Android is kind of an illusion since it doesn't need to be shaped that way. But an entire generation has been programmed to type into a little empty field with a search button that they don't think of alternatives anymore.
Windows 8 thru 11 are trying to add sleeker and more intuitive interface skins to be more usable for the masses but the underlying OS is still the same. Accessing additional options that a legacy Windows user uses all the time just takes you back to the old menus. It feels so lazy that each major windows iteration feels like a new skin on top of windows xp/2000 because not much really has changed since then other than the bloat and a few cute features that could've been done with a 3rd party app.
Obviously being a little reductive here but with how windows 11 looks, I would've imagined it being actually different. But as soon as I right click something and view more options, it's clear it's still the same stuff once the old right click menu pops up from underneath.
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.
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.
My dreams are having to look for and/or wait for a public stall. And then when you finally get to it, it's almost overflowing in piss and shit and the entire place is a mess. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
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...

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

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

The collision itself will generate heat. And a super continent with less water will also absorb more heat energy without having water near its center.
