So I&#8217;ve been watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCuTaETsuCOkJ0H_GAztWt0Q\">Global Cycling Network<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1A6bKUCcDW0\">Seth&#8217;s Bike Hacks<\/a>. I even watched the exhausting run as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wKBBeRcFnDY\">Kilian Bron fought for 1st place in a field of 1,400 riders in MEGAVALANCHE 2019<\/a>. I also watched a couple of guys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3sK0bsQ7A7Q\">try to tackle the 1903 Tour de France on period-appropriate bikes<\/a>, although that one almost did me in. <\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t lost any weight yet. Am I watching the wrong videos? <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My wife asked what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted Cyberpunk 2077 to come out now. Instead she got me a cool LED clock. The clock is nice, although I wonder why she bothers asking me for gift suggestions when she never gets me what I ask for. She did the same thing last Christmas when I asked for EA to stop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6rHyaT9xRfc\">grinding studios down<\/a> with mismanagement, and instead she got me some nice things for my home office. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my day off, so I&#8217;m going to keep this entry short. I&#8217;m making a point of relaxing today, so I&#8217;m taking a break from the cycling videos. I think I&#8217;ll play some modded Minecraft. I got a version with raytracing working, and that&#8217;s pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p><div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/minecraft_raytrace1.jpg' width=100% alt='' title=''\/><\/div><div class='mouseover-alt'><\/div><br \/>\n<div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/minecraft_raytrace2.jpg' width=100% alt='' title=''\/><\/div><div class='mouseover-alt'><\/div><br \/>\n<div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/minecraft_raytrace3.jpg' width=100% alt='' title=''\/><\/div><div class='mouseover-alt'><\/div><br \/>\n<div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/minecraft_raytrace4.jpg' width=100% alt='' title=''\/><\/div><div class='mouseover-alt'><\/div><br \/>\n<div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/minecraft_raytrace5.jpg' width=100% alt='' title=''\/><\/div><div class='mouseover-alt'><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wait, ANOTHER birthday?
