I sanitize my water bottles in the sun. After washing them I put them on a south-facing windowsill and let the UV light kill every last living microbe that might be lurking in the crannies. (it's always the crannies that get you, the nooks are usually fine)

*unfazed

"fazed" means "disconcerted or perturbed", just FYI, and I will take my downvotes now

different kind of helmet

safe cycling infrastructure does nothing to prevent you from having a sudden equipment failure and finding yourself going over the bars face-first, or from just being an uncoordinated idiot who wipes out for no reason and gets a closed head injury. I had a crank fail on my bike once, snapped in half in full sprint and I wiped badly. helmet did its job and I was thankful to have it, because there's no predicting stuff like that

that has to be UK, it just has to be. the CCTV surveillance state is crazy there. (saying this as a Canadian whose face is recorded probably 200 times a day in my city)

it's a policy that has never let me down

I wish Canada had the cycling tolerance and infrastructure of European countries. I'll never again ride on the road in MB, off-road only. People fucking hate you if you're on a bike. Between the coal-rolling rednecks with their "Fuck Trudeau" stickers and the entitled pricks in their luxury SUVs, you've got someone actively trying to kill you every second you're out there

To the surprise of no one, Hollywood superheroes use steroids to achieve their physiques

I like how the implication is that we're supposed to be shocked by this information

yeah like tell me something I don't know.

"This just in: to the surprise of no one, your phone has, in fact, been spying on you from day 1. Now we go to Jim with sports. Jim?"

Canadian netfux can eat a massive bag of penises, all they ever do is increase their prices while removing the stuff I actually liked. I cancelled after their 3rd price increase in 18 months without adding anything of value

I love Les Stroud but I hate how he latched onto that hoaxer whackjob Todd Standing, the guy who comes out with high quality videos of sasquatch faces in tree branches. They're not moving, it's not full-body, it's just their face, and they're not doing anything besides blinking. He's got two videos like that of just a face in the trees, and then several more where he claims the sasquatches are attacking him, but they're "just out of camera view", where he's freaking out and waving a torch around, screaming like an idiot.

I just feel like Les could do a lot better. He's got some compelling footage of weird stuff happening at his solo campsites, and I fully believe his story of what happened when he was filming the Survivorman Alaska episode. Les is legit, he has no reason to make shit up, but Todd Standing is an absolute fraud.

It could have been more offensive if you'd have said Frenchman, instead of "French man". Do better next time.
