Excellent concept, Boris. Feed some of the politicians to the alligators. Kids probably made him thirsty for adrenochrome. https://t.me/TommyRobinsonNews/27765
All kidding aside, although that is grossly exaggerated, it's closer to what will happen than sea level rise. The excess ice melt is being forced into the mantle and crust, where it is affecting seismic activity, water ways, aquafers, and existing and extinct lakes and river beds.
Any water treading due to climate change will be the land locked folks inland. The coastal regions will thrive with the uptick in coastal wetlands.
I just had dinner at a diner I've been going to for years. Got the smallest portions ever. Because of the shortages and rising prices. No, I didn't even ask...just assumed
I have also noticed restaurant portion shrinkage at more than one place.

Bright side - maybe that will lead to less weight gain.
I second this as a positive thing. One thing I hate is MOST places just serve too much food. I get tired of having to either stuff it down or bring it home. I never go out to a place I don't enjoy (of course), but portions are often more than enough for two people. Even when I was biking 100 miles a week, it was too much.
How long did your tires last? I got thousands of miles out of my 40-65 psi types. I have not put enough miles on my 110 psi racer tires to know how long they would last.

I used Armadillos. They would last about a year which was 1,500 - 2,000 miles. I biked every day on the weekday and often on the weekend. My tires are 100-115 PSI.
If you're not using your bike for long periods of time, I think it's better to release the air - not flat, but like 10 PSI. Especially with tires that have Kevlar beads instead of steel beads - they will stretch over time and will readily fall out of the rim, destroying the tube with a loud bang. You can't fix that.
Armadillos (and Gatorskins) have Kevlar to protect the tube, but I'd eventually hit a nail, a piece of glass, a staple - something, and it would work it's way through the Kevlar and I'd have a flat in the middle of nowhere. They have higher rolling resistance but FAR less frustration. When I'd get a flat, I'd unmount the wheel, remove the tube (being careful to record it's orientation relative to the tire) and find the leak. I'd line up the logo of the tire with the stem of the tube (this is common practice for bike mechanics - of which I'm not one). When I found where the leak was on the tube, I could find on the tire what managed to work its way through the Kevlar. A piece of glass, a staple, a nail, a roofing nail, even a fucking earring once, something. I found it by rubbing my thumb through it, finding the sharp point (sometimes with blood) and work it out or pull it through. ONCE that happens, you're on limited time. You might be able to get a few hundred miles out of it, but it's not worth it, you can no longer trust the tire.
Anyhow, once you get a flat on a Kevlar tire, your tire is on limited time. You found ONE place where it punctured the tire, but there's a ton of shit in it you can't feel or see, it just works its way through, and what it was when it entered, has been worn down to be smooth with the tire by the time you check, still works its way through like a foxtail on a dog or a cat.
I used to swap my rear wheel tire with my front and replace one at a time, now - fuck it, I just replace both and put the front tires aside for future (being a cheap fuck) use. $120 or so, lasts a year, and I hate sitting on the side of the road like a fucking twat repairing them. I never bike without a pump and a patch kit. I once stranded myself out 30 miles from my home, and had to walk back in biking shoes the entire way. You only do that once. I was so fucked. The age before cellphones..
And I wear mountain biking shoes on my road bike. You can walk in those, but you destroy the cleats if you do but you won't care if you're 10 miles from home and screwed. The Candies are cheap, and the shoes - they aren't agonizing. I used to use just the original crank brother's eggbeaters:
DO NOT BUY THEM. The spring wears over time, and you won't be able to clip in after some significant use. Still, they are cheap.
Still, both are better than the Shimano SPD's. They kill my knees. Lots of float on the Crankbrothers. SPD's are what I started with (and I think anybody my age started with), they have a good lock in, but no float so it forces your knees into unnatural positions. Crankbrothers are my favorite, but Look is also nice, but you can't walk in those shoes.

I have a Cannondale trail bike with tubeless kevlar tires, they go flat on their own if you do not ride for a long time. I also have a Cannondale road bike from the aluminum frame days. Very fast, but the 20mm 110 psi gumwall tires that came with went flat on every ride, "snakebite" style where you get those little double punctures all around the hoop. Thankfully today's tubes are much sturdier. About a month ago, I got a flat about 4 miles from home on my British "Blue Mountain" bike. While I was walking it home, the other tire went flat. I bought those green slime filled tubes to replace the flats. I am not worried about rolling friction or weight on that bike, since it weighs 36 pounds anyway and I use it for cargo. That British bike has the front sprockets slightly egg shaped. That gives the effect of a slightly higher gear on the down stroke where you have more leg strength. I am surprised that other bikes have not adopted that idea.

Basically what I wonder. What happens when you sell out your ethics and morality for money and convenience?

Was there some ruling?
Yes just what the meme says. The prosecution is screwed. The Judge is not going to let them Chauvin the Kenoshia Kid.

Especially Italian restaurants with their oversized plates. Even the salad is massive.
