  • Trump has since begun to soften some of the measures, granting exemptions for smartphones, semiconductors and electronics and claiming the US and China were in direct contact “every day”.

    On Tuesday, the president said tariffs would come down “substantially” and a deal would be done “pretty quickly”.

    But the Chinese foreign ministry on said any reports that China and the US were nearing a deal were “fake news”.

    “There have been no consultations or negotiations between China and the United States regarding tariffs, let alone reaching an agreement,” said ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

    This is classic Trump. Lie about how easy something will be and how great he’s making things, all while delivering horse shit and counting on your supporters to be too dumb to listen to what’s actually going on.








  • What are your opinions on e-bikes? My wife and I bought them last summer to get more exercise, and I’ve been shocked to see a backlash against them from cyclers (e.g. there’s another comment above saying anything with a motor isn’t a bike).

    In my mind, having an e-bike is no different than getting something like a carbon fiber frame. If it makes your biking experience more enjoyable, then great.








  • spicy foods upset my stomach (I can eat them, but it has consequences).

    Same. It sucks. My brothers have continually given me shit for decades for being a bitch that doesn’t like spicy wings. I’m like “dudes, it’s not that I don’t enjoy the taste, it’s that my stomach will literally cramp up 4 hours from now and I’ll be shitting pain.”

    They don’t care.


  • I can also measurable lower my heart rate by conscious effort alone

    I read somewhere a while back that people can learn to do this with training and a visualization. If you have a heart rate monitor that shows different color shades depending on your rate, apparently people can learn focus on making the color turn green and lowering their heart rate.
