Hold the phone. There are still people wanting to come to this country?

^ this.

Yep. I would start aiming for people on purpose. I don't know how the riders can tune them out.

He was quoting LSU. I'll allow it.

I just realized that I've been absentmindedly whistling that song for the past hour and a half....asshole.

I probably have recency bias, but to do what he is doing with the deepest talent base that has ever existed is staggering. Of course he also benefits from the latest technology, training methods, and nutritional advancements. Pity that we can't see peak Merckx, Hinault, and Pogačar go at it in the same era.

I think I don't think anyone is buying that nonsense, but as you noted, what is TVL supposed to say? While I don't think TVL prioritized the Giro over the Tour, I do think that it was important to them to put Jonas in the elite company of riders to win all 3 GTs, something Tadej hasn't even done (yet). Some consider it a training tour, but if you are racing to win it, it is going to take a toll. I also think the heat is more of a factor for Jonas than for Tadej, but I don't think cooler temperatures would make a difference other than to keep the times a little closer. Tadej has more talent, and now has the better team around him. I expect him to eventually smash the record for most stage wins. There may still be some who don't consider him the GOAT, but they will either come around, fade into Bolivia, or or drown in the Nile.

No. But whatever time it is, I know that OU sucks!

For you Proton users, does it suffer from mass IP blocking like Nord does? I could pay for a dedicated IP from Nord, which supposedly resolves the issue, but I don't feel that I should have to do that on principal. I'll be making a change in a couple of months when my Nord sub expires.

I'm looking forward to when our programs are actually SEC ready.

In the entirety of my life, I have never once slipped on a banana peel, nor have I witnessed anyone else doing so. In my youth, television led me to believe that it would be a common occurrence. I feel cheated.
