i'm more impressed by the biking naked - SteVe C

What's the difference between this and resistance settings? - Mo Kargas

Not much - Johnny from iPhone

Surely ankle weights would have little or no effect on the effort expended on a bike? You know, because the one pedal is directly connected to the other, so the weight on one leg is counterbalanced by the weight on the other leg. If anything, I'd say the weights would give you a slight assist. - Slippy

My thighs respectfully disagree :) - Johnny from iPhone

It works as an opposite. While yes the extra weight would help on the down stroke, I still have to lift my other leg with the weight on it. I eaither have all that weight on the up pedal whicj means I have to push it up on the down stroke or lift my leg with the weight on it. Add to that I now have 2Kg strapped to each ankle, that forces me to adjust my balance, working my core. - Johnny from iPhone

Might get some and see what a difference it makes - Mo Kargas

I can get that, and I'm not going to argue with your thighs, obviously, but the weight on your left foot on its downstroke is assisting the right foot in its upstroke. I think. My physics-fu is rusty from years without training. Of course, if you lift off the pedal on the upstroke, you're making both legs work at the same time, increasing the workload throughout. - Slippy

buuuut also increasing the chance you'll fall off the exercycle. - Slippy

I think Slippy is right. All the work is on the downstroke, and that is alternated between the legs. While one works, the other rests. That's how you ride a bike. - April

for the record, Johnny is also wearing nipple weights. But we aren't sure why - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

*reads last line* *SELF: memory.get(lastline).delete()* - Mo Kargas

Hardcore - Shevonne

Skrillex winning 3 grammies? Also excellent! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I don't know what any of this means. #unhip - Lix

Skrillex is meh. A public face, but very mediocre. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Are you sure Skrillex isn't Corey Feldman? - DJ Stevie Steve

Skrillex is so very meh. I mean a song called "Kill Everybody" shouldn't sound like a Nintendo Wii game soundtrack. - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

You guys are whack. Skrillex is the bomb. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Alex, as usual, that is incorrect, which makes you whack. For just saying "whack" and "bomb". :P - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

Adrian, like times of old, you are mistaken, which makes you whack and not the bomb. :D - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Hey Alex, 1990 called... they want their slang back. - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

Cowabunga dudes... Cowabunga everyone! - Johnny

Yo, Adrian! Guess they forgot to tell you that I have it licensed for the next 100 years. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

And Warren Beatty has Dick Tracy... your point? ;) - Johnny

Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy was wickedy-wickedy-whack-with-a-slack-pack, Jack! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

... we can no longer be friends... - Johnny

Alex, you are on a roll. In fact, your butt looks like a golf ball from the sesame seeds. - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

ROFL, Adrian, I can't top that, nor even bother trying. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Hehe it's my oldest joke. No one thinks it's funny in RL. :( - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

Congrats in finally finding someone who delights in the absurd. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Wow...hell yeah. F--K that water bill. LOL. - Rah-PM 2012

That's a little too Medusa. I'll stick to the dual showerhead type. :) - Rochelle

All I see is surface area to lose heat. - <3Heather<3

CTHULU Showerhead: "SHHHKKSSHHS" - Jimminy, CoG of FF

^That right there is enough to make me want it, even if it's creepy and inefficient. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Wow, I'm surprised. They need the $ pretty badly. - Spidra Webster

"The policy will have little impact on revenue. The city collects about $1.5 million annually from parking tickets, a minimal factor in the city's overall $350 million budget." - Anne Bouey

Well, I'm glad they think 1.5M is minimal. It's not like South Berkeley needs any additional police presence due to perennial North Oakland/South Berkeley drugs wars...no sirree. - Spidra Webster

I wonder how much this would impact them financially, though. Maybe this will have a minimal impact. If they are only not writing tickets if the driver is standing right there at the right time (which to me seems like the driver is making a good faith effort to return in time and I think the policy trends towards kindness and understanding); I'm willing to bet that most drivers they... more... - joey

I also wish that cities could find ways to get revenue that don't rely on people don't the 'wrong' thing in order for them to work. Seattle has the same problem; we just overhauled our parking system downtown to make more money and it feels like it's designed to get people to screw up so that they can be ticketed (in addition to doubling the price of street parking and lengthening the... more... - joey

ddno عزیز، لطفا لینک‌های بالاترین که مربوط به جامعه و سیاست میشه در اتاق اشتراک لینک بذارین نه فید‌های دیگر. ممنون. - سيما كيا Sima kia

سیما جان اشتراک لینک قبلن یه روم عمومی بود و همه جور لینکی رو شامل می شد ولی ظاهرن الان با اون لوگوی بالاترینی که زدن دیگه فید عمومی قبول نمی کنن حرفی نیست اگر هم اشتباهی شده به خاطر این بود که من در جریان نبودم - ddno نابود باد اسلام

and wear makeup and tight leather pants - Rodfather

Do you have the moves like Jagger? Cuz apparently that helps too. - Ken Morley

Nice! Friends, please send me recommendations :) - joey

Excellent feature, gooood idea! - Susan Beebe

Very cool =) - FFing Enigma

Cool stuff. - Mike Bracco

gr8 - حاج مهدی ©

Uh, it tells me that Scoble, among others, could use the recommendations. WTF? Perhaps I have too few subscriptions for this to work. - Fred Yankowski

more good stuff - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Finally a better recommendation - directeur

I'd still love an "e-mail this item" feature, similar to Google Reader. - Jesse Stay

great idea! - Edwin Khodabakchian

Cool! Beats the heck out of #followfriday!! - Larry Hawes

What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else. - FFing Enigma

Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you. - Bret Taylor

Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible. - FFing Enigma

Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it. - Bret Taylor

At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about? - Liza + = ?

Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like.... - FFing Enigma

I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug. - Meryn Stol

Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog. - Bret Taylor

User-driven...I like. - Josh Haley

Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us? - Fred Yankowski

@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender? - Roberto

Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed. - Ross Miller

Roberto: yes, they see who recommended - Bret Taylor

Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant. - FFing Enigma

Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical) - Meryn Stol

and can I see who has accepted my recommendation? - Roberto

Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender. - Ross Miller

Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn) - Fred Yankowski

Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations - Bret Taylor from email

Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :) - Meryn Stol

hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life.... - Bob DeMarco

I would like that deal, too, Scoble. I like this a lot. - Ben Hanten

Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily. - Natsuki Seika

Definitely better than #followfriday. - Bernie Goldbach

As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user? - Kol Tregaskes

A little late on the info as I deleted this link last week at I was told I was pushing all of my FF to FB people were not happy. - Ed Mason

why do you not post the link comments from friendfeed to the wall? just the links loses 80% of the value. - Gregor J. Rothfuss

I'm tired the FriendFeed Facebook app. keeps asking me to fix "the problem" so it can post to my wall. I don't want it to post to my wall! Contacts on Facebook and FriendFeed are different types for me. On Facebook it's about being friends in real life, on FriendFeed it is about interests. At least that is how I use FF and FB. My Facebook friends would probably feel I was spamming uninteresting stuff if my FF posts where copied to FB (well, at least if I used FF so intensive as I want to:-))... - Stig Nygaard

Please let us select what to publish on FB from FF? I'd rather have tweets not appear on FB, particularly as I post from Ping.fm to FB and Twitter. - Kol Tregaskes

New publishing method? I hope nothing will change for those FF users who don't use Facebook. (am I alone here?) - Olivia Lovag from twhirl

I agree with Gregor ... By not having the comment sent with the link, it's just plain and boring and I'd rather just post directly to Facebook. Unfortunately, however, this would negate the very useful benefit of using the "Share on FriendFeed" bookmarklet. - Dewade Fowler

I don't mind it publishing to my wall, but I don't want it to be my status update. It worked fine before y'all fixed it! (Go ahead. Roll your eyes.) ;) - Shawn Zehnder Rossi

I get that cannot publish message all the time, because I specifically took away its permissions to publish to my wall. If the FF app gave me some sort of control over what it put on my wall, then I'd give it permissions to do so. As it stands, if everything I posted to FF made it to my FB wall, I'd be defriended by 90% of my friends rather quickly. - Otto

Yay for new publishing methods! stream.publish FTW! - Jesse Stay

I don't want to publish my friendfeed updates to facebook, they're too many. I blocked it and i'm always receiving error messages on facebook. - Oscar

On the same environment, I saw that lite.facebook.com is fast as hell! With proxies, my comments gets directly inputted while FriendFeed takes a couple of seconds, one step at a time. And the message, as Oscar said, is always present if you decide to stop FriendFeed from posting to said service when you have the application on FB. It (script) thinks it wasn't decided, as if it was the... more... - Zu from AOD

Mine failed to post the most recent entry to my wall for unknown reasons. (I have it configured to use privatebrlewis@friendfeed rather than my regular brlewis ff account.) - Bruce Lewis

hmmm - Jim Hill

damn that must be fun lol :) - Britttany leigh harner

Could you add this: http://ff.im/oH1ft please.. - Emre M.

I've uninstalled the FriendFeed application and now I cannot re-add it. I see the friendfeed app for a split second and then it reports an error. - Erik Jacobs

Hacım, the search function is totally down, any news on that? - mcd

IT CAME OUT AT SCHOOL TODAY!!! :D - Joe The Sausage

she was SO happy when i picked her up after school today. so, some little girl is getting an envelope under their pillow tonight. :) - Joe The Sausage

Awesome, D. Bubba, you could TOTALLY pull that off! - Marie

"Robert Scoble joins every network but this one." BUT I kept pushing... and here we are. :-) - Louis Gray

Louis - Wow, your pushing WORKED in a big way...Mike must hate you by now! - of course I love you for that :) - Susan Beebe

Here's the post in my thread Louis is referring to -----> http://friendfeed.com/e... - Susan Beebe

It took me 1.5-years to get RSS after Dave Winer first showed it to me. So, I am getting faster. Took me just a few months to get friendfeed. Glad you kept after me. - Robert Scoble

So how do I access it? <---I take that back. Didn't realize what I was looking at when I went to the site. - Mattie Kenny

Bring back Festivus Feed! - Shawn Farner

Yeah do it! :) - Susan Beebe

http://www.festivusfeed.com !! - Rochelle

My favorite grievance: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Louis Gray

Robert, now we just need to get you to understand auto-follow (the SocialToo way) ;-) - Jesse Stay

LOVE! - David Cook

Josh: it was a seasonal thing last year at this time, so it is no longer possible. We may have to bring it back by popular demand, but for now the entries you see are all from last year. - Bret Taylor

Bret - bring back those cute little red icons next to the FF posts! easy seasonal "flair" feature! - Susan Beebe

and here we are... - Jesse Stay

Jesse I want to like this, but I already liked it in 2008! - Eric Florenzano

Whoa. How did I NOT like this in 2008. Weird. - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

The comments about this on Facebook are illuminating. - WoH: Minding her Steves

Robert Scoble, joins, then leaves, every network, including this one. - Laura Norvig

What Laura said. - Louis Gray

Happy Festivus, everyone. - DGentry

Well, I can still think those people haven't been paying attention and it's funny. They probably also think Google made Chrome just to give users a better browser and created Android just to give users another smartphone choice. The suspicion should have been there at the first mention of "free." :) - Rah-PM 2012

I hope that opinion holds true with Microsoft of the 90s. They did nothing different. - Eric

I don't recall Microsoft having anything free, though. Which is why I switched to Linux as soon as I learned about it. - Rah-PM 2012

The problem is not Google favoring their own products. The problem is Google repeating, loudly and thousands of time over, that their search results are unbiased and that users trust their objectivity. They said it in their press release before their IPO, they said it in their IPO filings, they say it every quarter in their SEC filings, and they've said it under oath in front of Congress. If their methods have changed, they need to say why. - I like big Botts

Have they changed? Doesn't appear so to me. Looks like they just added a few optional bells and whistles that highlight their own junk around the existing results. Someone feel free to correct me if that's wrong. - Rah-PM 2012

To your previous comment, Microsoft offered Internet Explorer for free when Netscape was building their business. Then they pre-installed it on all Windows computers, representing well over 90% of all desktops which destroyed Netscape. You could argue that this is the freedom of companies to use their advantage in one area to snag another. You could argue whether monopolies are indeed a bad thing. But you can see how they draw parallels. - Eric

Ironically, that same thing happened to me - but I was watching about 1/2 behind real time and was saved by the rolling buffer. Not that I wanted to see that ending anyway, but.... - Ken Gidley

It seems like a really intelligent system could notice that an abnormally large number of people watching the sporting event live are staying on the channel, and that could be a cue that the event is ongoing, and that it could tell those devices recording the event to continue recording some extra time if there isn't a conflicting scheduled recording. We have the technology... - Kevin Fox

Go to sleep, Gray. - Akiva

I would hate it if I had TiVo or another type of DVR. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I don't. - chrisofspades

But, Akiva... you know better. - Louis Gray

I generally go 3 hours extra for sporting events. My biggest problem with sporting events and TiVo has been turning on the TV to start watching the game 2 hours in and having the Picture In Picture (with sound) give away the current score. :-( - Brian Johns

Set your TiVo for "next year". Ouch. - Josh Haley from Android

Brian, that's my biggest concern with upgrading my TiVo. I never want to see live TV except when I explicitly ask for it. I hate that my TiVo times out to live TV, and I'd dislike it even more if it 'helpfully' showed me PIP live TV when I try and use core TiVo functions. - Kevin Fox from iPhone

You can disable PIP.... - Stephen Mack from iPhone

I did not known that! - Brian Johns

There's PiP?? I want to enable that when I'm in Settings -> Channels -> Channels you recieve. - Amit Patel

Amit, the new Premiere units have PIP (if you're in HDUI mode). To enable or disable PIP on a Premiere, use TiVo Central -> Settings & Messages -> Settings -> Displays -> Video Window -> Off. (Or, you can simply toggle it on/off by hitting the Slow Motion button.) - Stephen Mack

Congratulations! How will you celebrate? - Stephen Mack

Yoghurt marinated chicken and a nice salad... and a small slice of ice cream cake - Johnny

Nice work! - Ken Gidley

Rock on, mah bruthah! I am down 55 lbs (not gonna do the math you silly man) from when I started last summer. The first 40 came off fast. the rest is slooooooooooooooooooow. - Josh Haley
