#Ai images are getting surprisingly good!

Just a year ago Ai was having problems rendering #bicycle #spokes.

( It still doesn't necessarily know the feet go on the pedals to make the bicycle move but we'll let it slide this time )

These are a) super interesting fibre spokes. the first you can use with any hub (which is fit for use with carbon spokes) and any rim! Sweet!

And b) those rims are actually cool, too. Propper wide for wide allroad and gravel tires! Kudos to Goosynn!

Fine, purchased a spoke wrench from the LBS. Hopefully don't need a truing stand to fix the slight wobble in a wheel I have. Did you know there are eight million size of spoke wrench? I bought a circular one with every size, because I had no idea which one I needed. (minor... but it's bugging me). #BikeTooter #spokes #bikerepair #bicycling

🚨 Fresh off the press today! 📰 Our new article in #Language and #Cognition shows that in #casual #conversations, humans #talk about #social #topics a lot — even more than we thought before, with 85% of conversation being about social stuff! 🗣️ Huge thanks to my co-authors and the amazing student helpers who patiently coded the texts.

If you're discussing how much humans chat about social topics (tl;dr: they talk a lot), please cite us! 🙌

Because of the recently passed #Storm #Bert, a lot of #trees and #hedges have shed #branches and #twigs, which can be more than just a mere nuisance. In the past, they have caused #punctures and have even jammed in the #spokes causing #skidding #hazards. Luckily, no problems today.

Now someone does. Me. 😅 I found a page doing just that. And lo and behold, it's from 3 days ago. so finally someone compared and compiled the pros and cons of Berd Spokes vs Pi-Rope:

#Spokes cut air as Joey sped down the rural pike. Dust rose in his wake with a sharp turn onto Whipple.
Ahead was a familiar black hump near a pair of SUVs that flashed blue and red.
Asaph was down but not out evinced by his groans. One eye was a wet mess. Sprayed on his frill was "DINO GO HAME".
Joey closed his eyes tight to squeeze out useless tears before speeding back towards town.
This had to be his fault.
With each downward pedal, he beat himself up by repeating 'stupid'.

1971 Vintage Motorcycle on Display

The image displays a vintage motorcycle, likely from the 1970s, parked outdoors with a natural backdrop.
It has a classic design, featuring a prominent round headlight and a rectangular gas tank adorned with badges or logos.
The seat is small and flat, suggesting it is a single-seater model, possibly intended for touring or casual riding rather than long-distance cruising.

The recent stormy weather has caused many #trees to shed large twigs and even whole branches onto the ground and in particular paths. Today a large twig, about 15 cm long and 1 cm in diameter wedged into the #spokes of the rear#wheel of my #bicycle, causing it to jam completely. Luckily, I wasn’t going too fast and so was able to stop safely but it caught the #mudguard and bent it double. Though I managed to untangle it, I may have to replace it. Ho hum.

@ascentale @gauche A7. I used to decorate my bike spokes for the holidays and did bike decorating with kids at local rodeos. Then the town outlawed plastic straws (bad for the ocean animals) so I don’t decorate any more. #BikeNite #spokes
