  • This was a special election to fill a spot. The prior person (Kelly Hancock) quit to become state comptroller. These two will be running in the fall, though I wonder if the groups (including some with ties to white nationalism) that spent $2.5m on her will do so again in the fall. He raised $380k, mostly small donors.

    Fun fact - Texas senate doesn’t meet this year, so he might not have a ton to do before the next election, but he’ll run as an incumbent, will be getting ready for next year’s session, and it’s also a nice pants-shitting moment for the Tarrant county Republican Party which is already in the midst of a party purity jihad.

    (Seriously, they’re suing and being sued by other republicans about being removed from republican primaries, as well as suing to have democrats removed from Democrat primaries)




  • Wicking everything. 32 cool makes wicking underwear, there’s a wicking sweatband with a silicone band to keep it out of your eyes (and something called a gutter that is JUST the silicone band that routes it down the side.

    Form fitting wicking undershirts - The more body contact, the better, since you wanted to grab every bit of moisture and wicked away from your skin. But in my case, the sweat drips from my head to the sweat band, goes from the sweat band down to the back of the sweat band, which winds up touching the back of my wicking shirt, which winds up soaking it up, and then the wicking shirt absorbs a bunch of moisture off of me, and then the underwear also soaks up a bunch of the moisture

    Now, the problem you’re going to run into is everything is going to try and drip down that clothing to your shoes, and that I don’t have an answer for - but I know the stationary bikes have a fan and I wonder how much air that moves. But maybe you tuck a towel in near the shorts level and that soaks it up, and immediately afterwards it gets washed?
