I doubt anyone to know too much about the US Open Cup or even MLS but just know that this is really bad. The USOC is the oldest soccer tournament in the country, starting in 1914 and teams from your local amateur club to Inter Miami compete in it. The fact that the hyper-capitalist, anti-competitive, hates the game league is trying to kill it (again) spells complete disaster for such an important tournament. If you plan on going to an MLS game this summer, please reconsider and support a lower league team (there's a decent chance you have a semi pro team if you live in an area with > 60 people).

 

Anything new with beehaw and the lemmyverse? Are we still changing platforms? Things seem a lot more quiet now. Is that really a bad thing though? How are you?

A great read+great magazine.

TL;DR: Old bikes last way longer than new bikes. From a production standpoint, steel bikes have a smaller carbon footprint than aluminum or carbon frame bikes. Conventional bikes use fewer consumables over their usable life than electric bikes. Among electric bikes, cargo bikes use the most resources to run and maintain.

All the niche communities. I've been here for a couple months now but boy is that what we need.
