The Surly Road Cycling Thread
I'm doing a ride from Lisbon to Porto this coming week (using a good quality rental touring bike) and am finalizing a route. I'm fit but not a highly experienced cyclist like many of you. So I'm looking for a route that has relatively low elevation changes, low traffic, and nice scenery. My question is which app do you like for planning routes. I have Strava, Komoot, and Google Map. While the routes they provide aren't wildly different, there are some differences. Komoot seems to suggest busier roads than Strava and Google when I do random spot looks using google map. I also don't like that Komoot doesn't seem to show the road numbers like Google and Strava which is a pain when comparing routes between the different apps. Anyways, I'm sure whichever route I end up with will be fine, but any suggestions are appreciated. I plan to do multiple longer backpacking trips this year, so I'm using this relatively short trip to test out apps, new equipment, etc.

U.S. Surgeon General Issues New Advisory on Link Between Alcohol and Cancer Risk
Good. If Congress were to actually act on it, I wonder if it would affect the ubiquitous alcohol advertising. Prolly not.

Where/how can I watch Texas football in Mexico City?
The Chilis and Twin Peaks that are across the street from each other would both likely show it.

I went the bonfire collapse year. A childhood buddy of mine was an architecture 2%er student and invited me. I was the only burnt orange in a large part of the student section. I was respectful in light of recent events. I got a lot of shit and just took it with a wan smile. Never going back there.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Do you need coverage because of lender requirements? I have a commercial property that's similar, basically a concrete bunker that's fully sprinklered etc... We're selling a different property and will pay off the note on this property. Once that occurs we're only carrying liability coverage as the property coverage is for our lender. Our property coverage deductible is so high that we'd be out of pocket anyways for any damage short of a catastrophic event.- CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York

Give me a fucking break. There are plenty of corporatist Democrats who are just as beholden to our broken healthcare system as the GOP. This issue transcends party. Attribute it to a single election all you want, doesn't make it so.- CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York

Is your argument that people whose family members needlessly die or suffer in agony because of assholes like the UHC guy should just lay back and take it? Sorry pal, that's just the system we have, nothing you can do about it. Maybe submit a letter of concern on your congressperson's website? It seems you have no problem with corporate murder, but blanche at the thought of a citizen punishing a key player in that system. Fuck off with that pearl clutching. It's not murder if it's justified.- CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York
Nah. What has peaceful political discourse gotten the hundreds of thousands if not millions who died before they needed to, suffered horribly, or went bankrupt because of the greed of the private healthcare industry? They should just accept their unjust fate and not fight back?- Bill Maher has become the whiny little bitch he complains about

I'm happy you received the care you needed from UHC. But you do realize your anecdotal experience is hardly a useful data point in assessing the quality of outcomes for 340 million people?- CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York
These insurance companies effectively murder or make life a living hell for millions of people every year purely for profit. They are evil. I'm glad this asshole was killed. Perhaps more executives of shitty companies that hurt lots of people should be killed. It just might cause some companies to stop being so evil, if only for self preservation.

I recently switched to Geico and it was 1/3rd the price of our prior carrier Liberty. I've never made a claim so I can't speak to the quality of the coverage.- Recommend or sell me some insurance (auto/home)
I just switched my parents' car from Liberty to Geico. Went from $3,000/yr to $500/yr. I've personally had Geico for 12 years on multiple cars. Only one claim for a broken window from a parking lot hit and run. Super easy process getting it fixed and paid for.- Game week 13, 2024, Texas at aggy

I reduced my sugar intake pretty dramatically a year ago after high glucose blood work, then quit alcohol in January. Went from 177 to 155 pounds this year. I've been doing a basic dumbbell workout along with pushups 3x a week along with running/walking/elliptical cardio 6 days a week. I have decent muscle tone, but I feel the gains have plateaued. Come January I want to revamp my workout to increase muscle gain.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread

I feel like the last few times I've gone to La Fonda, the food quality was way below what it was when I was growing up. They used to have the fajitas, for example, come out nice and charred on the searing hot skillet. The most recent time I ordered it, it came out on a plate and the fajias looked so sad. I haven't been back since.- Traditional Mexican fare-San Antonio. NOT on river walk
