we need a bake-off

You guys are the ones that keep bringing me up. You should try to remember this is the BTC thread.

I was very lucky to be born in a first world country with good parents who made a healthy home environment and who earned a lower middle class income that was enough to never worry about food or...

Ah now the truth about their butthurt comes out

you guys have hair on your heads?

Everyone has a right to their own opinion.

You don’t have a right to this opinion being respected.

Don’t ever mention that Cannondale makes weird proprietary designs with their bikes or that someone should take vitamin D - you’ll face XXXrs full wrath.

I hear Mali is nice.

Index funds would have you investing in the military industry, big tech companies, oil and gas etc. All things the cult members criticize and therefore can’t invest in without exposing themselves as...

Yeah as far as his adventure riding and his racing results he seems like an ideal person and personality to have in a quiver of sponsored riders - far more interesting to me than the instagrams of...

Kinda like having a set of lucky lottery numbers I started using FALSE and now feel obligated to use it as it has yet to be a solution.

Gotta get that coveted 1 guess win!

You benefit from a technology that’s made under horrible conditions…hold on guys he’s almost made the connection.

You can’t own it and criticize it or its devout followers in any way. That makes you a “fucking idiot” and a “hypocrite”.

You also can’t not own it and criticize it. That makes you “pathetic”.
...

If you have 3 guesses left in hard mode and you know 5 possible solutions all you have left is luck.

Which is totally fine and fun if you prefer it that way - I’m not here to be a Wordle snob :)

No that’s just pure luck. The strategy of the non-hard mode is seeing that problem in advance and choosing a word that contains as many of the letters in question in it.

You can say that this mode...

Currently at 335 wins and no losses. My luck will run out someday - I feel a bit tense at bedtime when I start a new game

You can look up the list of words that have already been used as Wordle solutions. If I miss a few days I sometimes check to see if my opening word was used.

Perhaps when a good starting word is...

My vote is Clive Owen.

Hard mode places you into a guessing game and eliminates a lot of the strategy

But low sell high. Past performance is not an indicator of future results. The above quote from Sinclair.

These are all well known maxims. And this isn’t an academic paper - it’s the BTC thread. ...

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

You guys should do some self reflection on your biases. That exercise is usually step 1...

I use the safari browser for looking and posting on TGR - unless I want to post a pic then I use Tapatalk just for that purpose.

Also have to go to Tapatalk if I want to edit a post I’ve made...

There are easy workarounds if you’re really wanting to post pics (while waiting for the powers that be to recognize...

Yeah you guys went right through the heart of it. Awesome.

I have fond memories of how beautiful that park is - we hiked in from Slocan past Beatrice Lake up to Ice Creek and then out over Urd...

Badass. Such a great pocket of “remote” terrain due no trails/roads. I don’t have a good map or sense of your actual route - were you traveling west of Beatrice Lake ie does Beatrice creek flow west...

^thanks

Another noob training question:

If I want to train so that I can go up climbs (that will take me in the range of 30min to 60min to go up) at a certain speed (call that X) - and...

you just crossed a line. you’re a line crosser man. A habitual line crosser I might add.

Fuck you guys

For a recreational level mag who does 1 to 2 competitive events per year each lasting 4-5 hours can I just take in 1 off the shelf gel per 30 minutes for the duration of the event (along with water)...

Fatbiking in winter out your back door onto trails - it’s not a complete substitute for skiing (there’s not that weightless and flying at a high rate of speed sensation) but it’s outdoors, it’s...

Well now you do!

I don’t have answers - but I’m stoked from a distance just hearing about your plans.

My uneducated guess having only been there once is you’d have to have horrible horrible luck to get washed out...

The “we’re both fresh off bail” reveal is pushing this towards Hall of Fame status!

we take all who show up and even those that just liste

I love this. “Don’t worry babe - a couple people I never met before are going to join us. No trust me they are legit good people. They’re from the internet.”

Congrats to the happy couple - indeed...

Gold is an ecological disaster man. Get with the program.

Also everyone should own some gold. Get with the program.

It will be even better next time when you have the dual go pros AND the contour action cam.

Til then keep one toe raised and pointed towards Alaska.

Every once in awhile a Canuck plane gets diverted to a US airport unexpectedly - the advice is to head the bathroom and dispose of your stash.

Hells yeah

Amazing.

The OJ: Made in America documentary series is well worth watching for anyone who has any interest in it. Its very well done (this is different than the Cuba Gooding/David Schwimmer re-enactment...

the irony of someone so desperate for any attention that they cosplay as an ultra core hardened bro and use that opportunity to criticize someone else looking for online attention…

Shit yeah you’re right. That’s a 2nd gen.

Here’s mine - a pic from 20 years ago. Still going strong today.

You’re the edgelord we need to keep this place in check. Thanks for your service.

when are all these bodybuilders migrating over to TGR?

Dan - even if for some strange reason you never go back to Alaska the memories (and those photos) are all time. One could hang up the skis after a run like that and be content.

I know that’s not...

At the musee d’orsay the painting of Cain (son of Adam and Eve) stopped me in my tracks. Just incredible.
