If people were gaming the performance monitoring systems to do less work, this is just another step in the cat and mouse game. They’ll figure out how to game this too.
The wear rate should be proportional to the weight of the system (car plus cargo and passsengers, bike plus cargo and riders), maybe with some correction factors for things that affect wear rate like knobbiness.
Since bikes weigh a couple orders of magnitude less on average, the amount of tire wear material should also be a couple orders of magnitude less.
Edit: other lemmyer said wear is proportional to weight to the 4th power and that may be correct. I vaguely recall that from school now that they mentioned it.
I figured out how to boil farm fresh eggs that peel easily. Bring water to boil, let eggs warm up on the counter. Once boiling put the eggs gently into the pot with a spoon. Bring back to a boil, cover pot, turn off heat, and let sit for 15 minutes for medium or 18 minutes for hard. While waiting, fill a big bowl with ice and water. Once eggs are done, spoon them immediately into ice water bath. They’re done when they’re cool to the touch.
I try to be that open with my good dude friends, but I only have a couple I’d consider good. Most are superficial friendships based on a single common interest.
Keeping them to read them is different than keeping them to have them. The former is an in-use library, the latter is collecting.
Hello Fuck Around, have you met my friend Find Out?
That’s an “inside baseball” term that randos won’t know, and a bolt is a type of arrow so the randos are technically correct.
I see benefits of displaying art made by a person, but I take issue with collecting. It feels like a form of hoarding.
Hike or bike my dude. Getting out in nature makes you feel good.
I also take issue with buying something that does nothing. “Oh I’m going to put this on that shelf and never touch it again”. It screams cash grab. They’re made of brittle plastic so you can’t play with them. And as you say, they’re ugly.
We probably have enough A/B data now to make some inferences yeah? Compare countries with fluoridated water to countries without.

Father's Day smoked salmon has begun
Pics to come tomorrow. This is a recipe I got from someone at r/smoking years ago and has been my go-to ever since. I usually brush half the pieces with maple and half I leave alone. The ones without maple have a smokier taste and are a tad crustier, a taste and texture I prefer for smoked salmon. I often brine overnight, rack the fish on the counter and use a fan to form a pellicle while the smoker is heating up. Takes roughly six hours to cook at the low temp smoke setting on my pellet grill.
Recipes: Thaw fillets, remove skin, cut the fillets lengthwise right down the middle and cut these strips into 7" or 8" lengths (usually 1/3 of the length of the fillet).
Brine: Put 1/2 quart of apple juice in a pot on the stove, bringing to low boil & then down to simmer. Add to this; 6 ounces of soy sauce 1/2 cup of non-iodized salt 1/2 cup of brown sugar 1/2 tsp of Garlic powder 1/2 tsp of Onion powder 1/2 tsp of Cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp of Dried Bay Leaf Flakes (or 2 or 3 fresh bay leaves)
Stir until salt is dissolved. Then add 1 1/2 quarts of water & ice to cool quickly.
Leave the Salmon pieces submerged in this brine for 4 hours (under 1/2") to 6 hours (over 1/2")
Dry the salmon and put on rack in fridge overnight to form a pellicle.
Smoke on low until internal temp reaches 145+. Brush with maple syrup once an hour to keep moist.
Edit: and here's a progress pic. Peppered on the left, maple on the right. Finished product looked very similar but a bit darker. Taste and texture were great. Funnily, the maple finished first despite getting brushed hourly.
