I left a bunch of granola bars and a few IPAs off the food list. And Reisling is an energy drink.

So I did the Chicago Perimeter Ride. Milage ~100.

Depart 800am. Home 415am.

Side quests include a rock wall, a lap on a pump track and a dozen monuments.

Spotted: owl, deers, skunk

Food: burgers (2), ice cream (2), banana pudding, fish dinner, coffee, water (8L), salt drink (2), tamale

But that assuming ~1500 watts which no one can do for ten minutes. So, it's more like 30 minutes of acceleration.

Ok fine so 300 watts is a pretty good benchmark for everyone except Tadej.

Mass is mass so I guess the ascension takes quite a while. Guess that sprinter can go 0 to 50kph/s in ten seconds, so you'd do that... uh 66 times assuming drag is constant. Ten minutes ish.

There's no aeropacing but there is guy on a motorbike swapping out chainrings

300w is pretty conservative.

Tadej Pogacar, current all-element cycling GOAT, can hold 450w for 30 minutes. Sprinters hit 1500w for a minute or two pretty regularly.

The monstrous forms of two characters from a continuity that will never see the light of day. I’m still playing with Verūk’s demon design a smidge (right) but the real breakthrough was an angel’s form I didn’t hate. #art #sketch #sketchbook

An open flat sketchbook; each page contains one character rendered in layers of colored drawing pencil. The character on the left is a long thin dragon with features of a biblical angel such as a body covered in eyes. The character on the left has a quadrupedal stance, a wedge shaped saurian face, long hair, and features such as scales and neural spines.

I'm not expert in this space but $20m is barely sufficient to launch *software* at scale. You know, on earth.

Not all investments are supposed to succeed.

To be coordinating you have clasp both hands, lean towards each other and speak the word 'indictment' simultaneously. Journalism norms are important, ok?
