I feel like a better title would be “When chains are better for bicycles than belts.”

There’s absolutely people who don’t ride in these conditions or these purposes that a belt is an amazing, cheap, low maintenance, high mileage alternative to a chain.

Argumentative language and blanket statements are only good for marketed social media engagement, not correctly informing people.

    I quit caffeine. I think I realized something around “this is supposed to be a drug that aides me when I’m tired and need to not be” that caused me to finally try and kick the morning habit. I’ll still drink it, but it’s an as needed thing now.

    It took about 1-2 weeks for me to start feeling normal again- I was cranky and very tired for a while. Now I feel the same as before when I was appropriately “caffeinated”

    Buying fancy decaf coffee helped curb the ritual habit, too. So I still make lattes and what not but they’re just treats, plus I can drink them in the evening without worry too.

    Am I confused looking at this graph? That these numbers represent the “total change” in tech job for these fields during these time spans? Sort of like a graph of velocity over time, not distance travelled?

    So to get a representation of what this graph might look like as total jobs, it would be (omitting 2020) a huge spike in total jobs then a plateau and slight decrease?

    While relevant, it seems a little deceptive that people might look at this and say “there are less jobs now than one years ago” rather “there are still more jobs than two years ago”
