Endometriosis is no joke.

I suspect this would have been fixed long ago if it impacted men instead of women.

I have a similar issue -- legs that differ in length about 2cm or so.

I have insoles (one higher than the other) that I wear and I also use a cleat shim.

Cleat-only caused frustration clicking in. Sole-only was not enough for cycling (fine for walking).

I'm still second-guessing the setup 😞

De automaten van de NMBS, om je ticket te kopen, zijn ook niet intuΓ―tief, traag, en gewoon een frustrerende ervaring om te gebruiken.

Los van het feit of toegangspoortjes een goed idee zijn heb ik dus nul vertrouwen in de NMBS qua uitvoering.

Ik zie dan ook liever meer controle op de trein.

Er staan toegangspoortjes in (het station van) de luchthaven. Die zijn zo rotslecht in hun job dat er daar steevast een file is van mensen die wanhopig trachten dat ding hun QR code te laten herkennen.

In een omgeving waar mensen vaak rennen om trein/vliegtuig te halen is die frictie niet ideaal.

Je had het wellicht niet zo bedoeld, maar het idee dat lichtjes ophangen _het verwesteren van het Chinese nieuwjaar_ zou zijn was wel een goeie aanzet voor een comedy sketch πŸ˜‰

Cheering on a company that is actively facilitating the fascist regime in the US is choice.

You've lost me here Sara.

Uit artikel 24 van de Belgische grondwet:

"Alle leerlingen die leerplichtig zijn, hebben ten laste van de gemeenschap recht op een morele of religieuze opvoeding."

Daarom dus.

It was so cool to see @joost.at’s talk about FreeSewing at FOSDEM. Thank you for making such an amazing tool for parametric sewing patterns! ✨πŸͺ‘

Three strikes::

1) claim Linux 'rose from the aches' of the dot-com bubble πŸ€”
2) refer to it as 'the Linux stack' πŸ˜‚
3) Make 'Linux stack' a hyperlink that leads to... A YouTube video of yourself talking about AI 😑

Dude is an AI grifter. The article is utter garbage.

I have all of these overwhelming feelings and I'm struggling to articulate them beyond the sheer injustice of it all.

But then I read what you wrote and I was like, yep, that's exactly how I feel.

Thank you.

As it happens, Guttering is a perfectly normal Dutch last name or even village name. Very apt.

I emphasize and this sucks for you. But unless we start being honest about the people and systems that inflict this pain on workers, what hope do we have that things will ever change?

You deserve better. We need to direct our ire so that those in leadership also realize that.

In the meantime πŸ«‚

MS does what MS does. Always has, always will. Don't anthropomorphise a company.

That your org has made itself dependent on them is 100% a self-inflicted wound.

Getting angry at MS is what leadership pays them for. It shields them from criticism.

Don't fall for it. Put the blame where it belongs.

Along with whatever the living heck this monstrosity is.

It came some sort of weird shoe contraption that I flat out refused to take a photo of because it felt like I was being rage-baited.

Anyway, so far some of the things I noticed during my trip to #velofollies yesterday πŸ‘‹

Not specifically a rider's bike, but the Van Rysel stand had the official team bike on display

There were also bikes that were clean/new but still strongly associated with a particular rider. Like this S-Works one on the SRAM stand that has all but Remco's name on it.

That one in particular was a real magnet for ageing cycling aficionados who swarmed it while I presume explaining how exactly they would excel at Unbound.

And on the Ridley stand, there was this one with the Unbound race tag on it.
