I drove through 3 PA counties yesterday. Pit stop in Monroe.

I've ridden in 12 NY counties and all of the DE counties.

edit: it's called the Madone Speed. May have been discontinued, but again, look for the bars.
will do. I’m trying to understand the cycling race scene. He was trying to explain it to me, it sounds like I have to earn points by doing all three events, and I guess the points go to the team. I have things to figure out for sure.

The trek speed concept does look sweet, but I just don’t see hopping on that for fun, and the capital trail isn’t really clear until you get past Charles City.

what about avec? That should work, no?

Some people love riding those things. I am not one of them, but they are definitely fast, so I deal with it.

It’s looking more and more as though I am going going to need a Twitter “presence” in order to function professionally in today’s scientific “space,” in other words, ever hire another postdoc. Maybe this is a sign I should retire.

it's vaguely the shape of the USA. I've been wrong before, apparently.

Or maybe just some hair on my head. Never used to get cold when I was working out though…

Mapesque?

Map-adjacent?

I hope I never have to sign up for that or facebook to do my job. If that becomes a thing I may be forced to retire too.

Au contraire. It's a map+. You're just irked that I'm sharing data freely with the people, threatening your clients-only business model.

I was jst about to leave work, having completed a bunch of scRNAseq analysis, and I noticed a little distortion in my vision, just below my focal point and a bit to the left. "Is this another ocular migraine?" I asked myself. Spent the nex 5 minutes trying to see it, with little success. Just about the time I decided it wasn't, I realized that it is, indeed, an ocular migraine. So I guess I'mma stay here at work for a while. especially since it's decided to expand right into my focal point.

Should be gon ie in 20 minute or so. The first one freaked me right the f*** out, but everything I read on them says they're nothing to worry about. Just seems like a bad idea, driving at night while having one.

I ordered some bibs from them, if I like them, going to grab their winter jacket. I like outside.

I’ve never heard of this, and hope I never experience this.

It could be problematic in your line of work.

What happens is, the distortion grows for about 15 minutes, then disappears over the next 10. No pain, no headache, just the visual distortion.

Looks like this, only subtler.

I can't see spending that kind of scratch on a jacket.

You don’t spend your money on a 380 dollar jacket. You get someone else to spend their money on a 380 jacket.
