You’re getting crazy downvotes, but honestly you have a point. Take away the 3rd and 4th panels and the comic is still complete

Snowboards definitely have steering, you twist the board and shift your weight to manipulate how the edges contact the snow, it’s just not quiet as explicit as a bikes front wheel. But whether it’s a bike, a board, or literally any moving thing on land, the steering happens because you applied a lateral force to the ground and an equal and opposite force was applied back to you.

The snowboard uses different methods of applying that force, but other than that it’s the same concept as described in my first comment: Greater speed allows more subtle corrections to take effect more quickly.

Now the snowboard does have a wider contact area with the ground, but that really only helps you on flat ground at very low speed, or standstill. Advanced boarders will carve transitioning from edge to edge most of the time.

I just nab one of these bad boys every few years. Don’t fall for big-electrolyte’s propaganda

I’m surprised how much I’m seeing gyro brought up in these comments. It’s a factor, but it’s practically negligible. It’s all in the steering. Start to tip right, and you’ll subconsciously steer slightly to the right to correct your balance. Try to ride as slow as you can and you’ll find yourself doing these corrections much more frantically and dramatically. The reason for that is because it takes longer for the wheel to roll under your center gravity and “catch” you when you’re going slowly so you have to turn in quicker to maintain balance.

Notice that on almost every bike you see, the front axle on the bike is slightly ahead of the neck’s axis of rotation. That offset does two things: 1. It stabilizes the steering so that the bike will tend to steer straight and 2. (more important to my point) It makes the balance-correcting effect of steering more immediate and dramatic, making it much easier to ride at slower speeds.

As a counter argument showing why gyro is barely a factor, these exist:

Edit: if you’re not seeing the image like I’m not, Google “ski bike”.

“just get another job bro”. Easier said than done pal, being a door-to-door salesman isn’t exactly the most lucrative career in the first place, and everyone’s gotta eat.

Logically yeah, the latter statement implies former

Why is the switch talking to itself? Is it stupid??

I’m antsy about pirating software and games because of malware, but movies and shows? Just go to a reputable site and choose a torrent with a lot of seeds and it’s pretty safe. Personally I have an old laptop dedicated to running a jellyfin server streaming torrents, so even if I did download malware there’s nothing of value on the drive

Gotcha, I see where you’re coming from. I think that the phrase isn’t meant to be taken as cold hard logic but a rule of thumb for the default position on a theory. To reiterate, we don’t know that any religion is right, but because they contradict each other, we do know that some must be wrong. Since none provide proof, and especially because they all contradict each other, a reasonable person would assume that they’re all all wrong until actually finding some evidence.

So yeah, the way it’s worded it does sound like a logical expression, but really it’s “If 20 people tell you the answer and they all give you different answers without showing their work, it’s not safe to bet that any one of them are right”

I don’t think that’s an accurate comparison, it’s more like a few hundred people guessing a different result of a practically infinite-sided die. For all we know, the origin of the universe can be anything, and it’s maybe (who are we kidding, definitely) something even beyond our imaginations. For all we know, we’re trapped in Charlie’s Chocolate Factory. What are the odds that anyone who ever wrote a book about a diety/universal origins actually got it right? Hint: it’s not 1/6 odds, or even 1/1,000,000,000, it’s 1/∞. Technically not zero, but c’mon, it’s practically zero.

No it’s definitely not the same. A tan suit is just a matter of taste (pretty good taste if you ask me), and a laugh is part of you, it can’t really be changed, not honestly anyway. But nobody is just a “stinky” person, that’s a reflection of a lack of hygiene, a skill and habit that every competent adult and older child should have mastered, let alone a candidate for the highest office. How can he care for his constituents if he apparently doesn’t care for himself?

Grownups wash themselves, that’s the whole reason this is newsworthy

We had to read “The Call of the Wild” by the same author. Every few chapters the main character, a dog, would wax poetic for a few paragraphs about how addicting the warm, salty taste of human blood was in his mouth.

A few shades greener than turquoise, I’d say

Yeah like 50gb of my phones storage is just Spotify music

Yeah I’m with you. It wasn’t a good movie, but I wouldn’t quite call it the worst, just kinda bad. Now Fant4stic? That might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen, period.

This and frozen have to be some of the most rewatched movies of the last couple decades
