You weren't here in the polar vortex seasons - it got legit cold rather often in 2012-2014 range during the winter. There was a time I was doing trainer work on the porch in October in the afternoon in San Antonio and it was like 40*. And when I got theoretically interested in CX I was in Boulder, which also got legit cold of course.
I think the usual durations are more like 40-60 minutes, but yes, it's number of laps completed in the allotted time.

40 is easy, it's 7 and 9 degree days with wind that are no fun.

Nextdoor is always good for some laughs and/or headscratchers. Yesterday, someone posted about the co-owners of a local nail salon. The wife evidently filed for divorce and the hubby strangled her to death with a cord from a phone charger. Amidst all of the expressions of shock and grief, one person posts, "That's horrible news. Are they going to stay open?"

Hey @datlas
What do you do when family members/relatives tell you their medical quackery beliefs? Smile and nod?

Same. I can't jump on and off the bike quickly. I guess I could learn, but meh.

My wife started talking about another kid last week. Not going to happen. I suggested another dog in a few years.
It is stupid Ethiopia closed to adoptions. We would have two boys if the country swallowed a little pride. I just completed the 2017 post placement report, which we agreed to do until age 18. I'm skeptical it even makes it to the Ethiopian agency.

I would be all over CX if it didn't involve mounting/dismounting. Since it does, I still haven't bothered. I guess I could practice but I rather go ride.

How's the job going? How are you liking Dallas overall?

Decided on the Never Summer West X for my new snowboard. Questionable graphics (as was last year's trout) but so it goes. My wife is unwilling to look beyond the graphics for hers, so NS is out.

Aha, hadn't thought about that, very enlightening.

The economy is back. There were a couple years there where law students couldn't get jobs. I was convinced Big Law was over, but it's back with the ridiculous hourly rates.

I am happy for him as he has major law school debt, and eventually wants to get into public service which does not pay. I think the plan is to work a couple years, then do a clerkship with the DC Circuit, and then ideally transition out of the Big Law race and into politics.

He was actually likely to have a job in the White House, but the election result came back as unexpected so this is his Plan B. I expect he will do well in whatever he does. He is a sharp guy and LOVES politics. I only hope he doesn't get too co-opted by the system.
