    ʭʭʭʭʭ Saturday ʭʭʭʭʭ

    So Friday ended with a meeting at 16.30 when the CEO ended my meeting after 3 minutes (literally started packing) because I uttered the word "Data" and have shown basic data (publicly available market share data for our brands by months) and it's the "data team" that should present data not the...

    Pole Bikes hates Ridemonkey

    The problem is the VC mentality of growth at all costs which often leads to overinstestment and growth in areas where it made no sense. Hell very often the VC strategy is pushing for an innovative company to chase a monopoly. Also "it's not a public company so there is no pumping done". Lol. I...

    Pole Bikes hates Ridemonkey

    Nope. I know VC money is cancer to every industry and it's essentially a pump and dump scheme.

    Pole Bikes hates Ridemonkey

    Is Pole going bust really a case of just the industry going down or are they one of those companies that invested a ton of VC money hoping the market will keep booming forever? Since it seems in recent years many companies have grown way faster than it was possible before free money days and...

    Jesus Avy, you're an adult person and yet you're falling for Sethi's baits easier than me and Gary.

    Whinesday, what ya got?

    Might finally soon buy a car. Hired a company to check what's wrong and also fix what's wrong so I have no surprises. So this is nice. The bad part is the head of research doesn't want me to present my own research because she will look incompetent when she is incompetent and I had to do my...

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    To them it's all filthy, unprofitable (for them. Or did that change and MTB is no longer in red for UCI?) MTB.

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    I have 40C degrees of fever and plus some other issue that might be tmi. I'm so tired even a bomb couldn't trigger me my little spatzle. It can be an e gravel bike specific fork or one of those reasonable enduro dual crowns since someone already had that idea recently (why?)

    2024 racing thread

    Gary, worse case scenario, we can always get together with Sethi and dub over the live feed. Though I'm worried with how well WB/Disco is handling this they might thing we sound coherent, on topic and offer us a job. As for the no commentary. It's weird since this is kinda my field of work now...

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Ah yes there is a hidden TV app that's not visible in either Samsung TV store nor Apple TV store. Why did I think a TV station might have a live TV app that's not available for TV's. That's so logical it must have designed by Sethimus and he's being catty because he's definding his life's...

    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Just realized after GCN got killed now the only way of watching the world cup I can find for my country (and many others) is Eurosport. Since they have no app that means - traditional, linear tv only? Ffs really?

    Talk me out of rekindling my youth via vintage bikes

    If it's just for regular riding with the kids and it's not too small then sure. Do it but generally you can find a very capable used bike that will be orders of magnitude better than anything that old.

    Thoughts on 2023 yt Capra core 3 xxl

    I have exactly the Capra you mention was too small for you. The cons are it is not a plow bike and it feels like it has less travel than it does with how progressive it is but it's a fun bike for people who don't want to pretend their enduro bike isn't an uphilable DH bike. I like how it's...

    Talk me out of rekindling my youth via vintage bikes

    I did what you did. It hurt my back. It was not fun to ride. It made me feel good to own but it was more like owning a sculpture than a bike. Do you need a sculpture?

    Thoughts on 2023 yt Capra core 3 xxl

    Exactly my thoughts on my Alu Capra 2023. Ohlins works really well with it. By the way you aren't looking for any more wives? ;)

    I know about it but now even in Yurp people drive dumb crossovers. My Mother had one of those small range rovers and that car was so stupid. Outside of Range Rover reliability (LOL) it was big on the outside, cramped inside and got dogshit fuel economy basically drinking 3x what a diesel wagon...

    Every time you shit on those trucks online you get 100 randos who claim they really need it. The same way when you mention to Europeans they don't need a car (80% of people in cities in Europe don't need cars) they are that special person who lives in the city center but works in the middle of...

    I'm glad I'm paying someone to find me a car. Jesus the amount of annoying people and scammers on the used market in Poland. People simply going by "it's perfect and I know it because it passed the Danish official tech examination" so they didn't check themselves or people not mentioning fucking...

    Nope. For ads we use ad brokers for TV and our streaming platforms are subscription or b2b sale only. Plus me being in programming all I care is if the ad broker sells our ads in high enough numbers so they don't fuck up our schedules.
