safe cycling infrastructure does nothing to prevent you from having a sudden equipment failure and finding yourself going over the bars face-first, or from just being an uncoordinated idiot who wipes out for no reason and gets a closed head injury. I had a crank fail on my bike once, snapped in half in full sprint and I wiped badly. helmet did its job and I was thankful to have it, because there’s no predicting stuff like that

I wish Canada had the cycling tolerance and infrastructure of European countries. I’ll never again ride on the road in MB, off-road only. People fucking hate you if you’re on a bike. Between the coal-rolling rednecks with their “Fuck Trudeau” stickers and the entitled pricks in their luxury SUVs, you’ve got someone actively trying to kill you every second you’re out there

I sanitize my water bottles in the sun. After washing them I put them on a south-facing windowsill and let the UV light kill every last living microbe that might be lurking in the crannies. (it’s always the crannies that get you, the nooks are usually fine)

Microsoft already lost an anti-trust suit in 2001. It’s in the article if you care to read it.

*unfazed

“fazed” means “disconcerted or perturbed”, just FYI, and I will take my downvotes now

It could have been more offensive if you’d have said Frenchman, instead of “French man”. Do better next time.
