From Apricitas Economics post this morning; The costs of these actions are enormous, covering $1.3T in US imports or roughly 42% of all goods brought into the United States. If households and companies tried simply to import the same goods from the same countries as last year, they would now be forced to pay an 11.5% effective tariff or more than $370B in total So yeah, shit creek without a paddle it is.

A few data points caught my eye today: Buffett Indicator: Currently sitting at ~2.1 standard deviations above the mean, signaling historically expensive equity valuations relative to GDP. Atlanta Fed GDPNow: Forecasting a sharp economic contraction of -2.8% in Q1, a significant shift from recent strength. Polymarket: Pricing in a 40% probability of a U.S. recession in 2025, reflecting rising concerns among market participants. If a recession materializes, especially alongside broad tariffs, ongoing inventory...

Round one of the Coil Shock Shootout: five rear shocks tested on a short section of mostly downhill trail. The shocks have all been tuned for the same bike, and are using the same spring. All shocks have been setup prior to being tested. A Freelap system will record the time for each run, and a subjective measure of perceived speed or "feel" will be noted before looking at the actual time. The Test Rig 2023 Specialized Enduro running an Intend Edge fork, and O-Chain device. I feel the kinematics of the Enduro make it a good test rig with...

Nah. I enjoyed Brain Cahal's (hey assholes!) Bronson comparison, except I too have ridden multiple generations of Bronsons, and guess what, there is a BIG effing difference. The problem as I see it is 3 fold: 1) It was a known regular track, they knew exactly where they were going and that isn't the same as riding your best on a less well known trail. 2) The climbing didn't matter, hello STA & CS length! 3) They are 2 very good riders and that makes up for a lot. Less capable riders are going to be more sensative to HTA...
