3) These are the 2 bikes [in 2 different locations]. One carbon, one aluminum; noticed no difference in spite of a >3x price. So you don't have to cross Syberia once every 3 years; just ride locally under the condition of 1) wearing regular clothes, 2) melting bike with lifestyle https://t.co/hPoIcKRnv5 — PolitiTweet.org

2/n Heart rate is in fact *on average* in Z2, but with a STD of .092. Roads have hills so it is ludicrous to aim at constant HR. [Note flaws in "research" on Z2]. You get the same results living in hilly terrain (Mediterranean); in Sardinia centenarians climb hills like goats. https://t.co/qr0pHyNIBF — PolitiTweet.org

BICYCLING, TRANSPORTATION, and CARDIO METRICS 1/n You don't have to travel to ride a bicycle. I tried to ride it for transportation (day), *not exercise*, for 1 month and covered ~450 km in hilly terrain. https://t.co/FWwwjEk6oJ — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Maimonides went by Abu Omran [ابو عمران]. The "kunya" teknonym applies by making up a child's name in case the person is childless. Arafat, childless, was "Abu Ammar" & my grandfather then minister made a faux pas when he asked him "How is Ammar doing?") — PolitiTweet.org

Language Oddities duJour In Western lang, you express respect by adding Mr/Ms/etc. to the surname; never use the first name. In Russian you can use the first name if you add the father's name: Vladimir Vladimirovich. In Arabic, use the firstborn son's name: Abu Joseph, Imm Nabil. — PolitiTweet.org

@joe_shipman " I oppose mandates but don’t deny their benefits" is incompatible with someone constantly arguing about risks of vaccines, never comparative risks or benefits --all one-sidedly. You may fool yourself, you don't fool others. And no you don't understand context. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

@joe_shipman I've seen you formulate these conspiracies [over election and vaccines] w/ad hocs, circularity, & absence of context over the past 2 y and, I am sorry to say, if I am saying "delusional", it is precisely because I do not find it healthy to keep discussing these things with you. — PolitiTweet.org

The only explanation is that Trump convinced himself that the election was stolen from him, hence the need for some kind of transitory shadow government. He kept telling his pple throughout the winter of 2020 that he was coming back in a matter of weeks. Otherwise befuddling. — PolitiTweet.org

I was flaneuring around Times Square w/my editor W when a fellow sidled up to us and said to me: "Sir, I love your books". I answered that it was entirely due to my editor & introduced him. He said to W: "Sir, you are lucky to be Salman Rushdie's editor". — PolitiTweet.org

I've been self-employed for most of my life & without a schedule for 2 decades, yet I still find Friday and Saturday the most pleasant days, Monday the least pleasurable one, & Sunday evening a usually sombre moment. It has to do with the mood of others. You don't live alone. — PolitiTweet.org
