I’m only going to go indoors to eat with people again after the communist revolution and it’s at community kitchens that serve free and healthy food.
It will be seasonal selections of ingredients that didn’t have to travel thousand of miles.
So never probably 😫

Not going to restaurants is one of the good things about still avoiding the plague actually.
The further you get away from those rip-off factories the sillier it seems that so much of our society…if there is such a thing, is built around them.

Why do people feel the need to make some garbage ass personalized picture to represent themselves. Are you so vacant of personality that you’re just gonna shovel another bit of our future into this furnace of destruction that’s been foisted upon us?
I just don’t get it.

Your face when you are a professor of balderdash.
Did the slop machine hallucinate this awful take or did you come up with it on your own?

Try pedaling just to get you off the dead stop before using the throttle. Just like how a space rocket uses a huge chunk of fuel just to move that first meter so it is with a bike. And if you’re a big guy you can just stomp that pedal and give your battery a bit of relief.

10ah is pretty small. Good news is a second battery should be fairly affordable, though I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a 17ah to put on the rack if you can afford it at some point.
That 10ah is going to degrade fast especially if you’re going max assist.

It probably says it on the battery itself

What’s the amp hours (usually listed as AH) of the battery?

Because those stoopid fat tires make the cheap small batteries not get you that far.
I ride on 700cX45 tires, looks like a bike and even though I could put in on a bus rack I don’t need to because I can go over 40 miles with it faster.
*and Americans have no taste generally speaking.

Seems like you’re not getting great range, what is your bike’s specs?

What a nice turnaround for that story.

Just hope it doesn’t lead to a lifetime of building two at double the price like it did with me 😫

In fairness I’m much more into building them than buying them but it does happen.
And you should buy and/or build them too.

It’s significant, and thankfully a winning one. But let’s be honest, it was a three person race with one being an unserious contender.
If you just stack the two against each other it’s kinda scary really with my point still standing about who def proclaimed liberals voted for.

My take: don't use ecocide-plagiarism machines for rough drafts, inspiration (from a slop machine?), or anything else. As I say in my new book, HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY, "By deciding what robots are for, we are defining what humans are." Excerpt below. 5/n

Ripped mine up last week because they were getting bitter with the heat. But boy were they producing for a while.
Gonna try a different variety next year for sure.

But in all honestly I’ve probably never been more Artax than I am right now.

People often ask “are you Artax or Atreyu”
It’s a trick question because I’m both.

It’s not necessarily easy, but the side effects are worth struggling for.
Real connections.
Real experiences.
Real food.
And most importantly building something outside of this bullshit we’ve been made to accept for literal pennies on the dollar.

If you have a Bluetooth speaker you can supplant the coke addled venue operator.
If you have an air fryer and/or an instant pot you can kick the tyrannical restauranteur in the dick.
If you can carry a bottle of liquor and a cooler of bevvies you can do away with the groping bar owner.

No, I don’t want you to become an ascetic.
But there is somewhere between living in a cave wearing a loincloth and the hyper-consumeristic indulgence of our current culture that we need to find.
That we’re only out of isolation when we’re being customers has to end and reclaim the stolen 3rd space

I know this goes over like a lead balloon with the “let people enjoy things”, “no ethical consumption” and “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” portion of the online left (almost all of it) but it’s clear posting and protests aren’t getting the goods.
Starving the beast is a radical act

In the old days before batteries got compact POMs used to put batteries in their backpacks and dangle a wire down to the controller.
I just can’t believe they are still using the 250w limit. Here in car hell US you need at least 750w just to keep from getting run over by a big shiny truck.

I installed my heat pump water heater myself because the contractor wanted $4k to install the $600 tankless gas one that took a dump.
Sure it took me days of YouTubing and a whole day to do, but with a rebate it came in around $1k and I only have heat on gas now after going induction cooking.

It’s one of the bodies that Cuomo knows the location of. One of the many bodies that he helped bury.

It's unrealistic to support the charming young guy who wants to make things better. You have to support gropey Nosferatu.

Appreciate that.
Sadly I live in Texas now 😫 and he was my last family member in Washington.
The good news is now my mom lives in Sabastapol CA which is less of a drive.

No one blinks at my stealthy gravel bike doing 35 in austin. Some cowboy hat wearing ranger might get his brownshirt in a twist about it tho.

I didn’t even know there was a trail around there.
Pity I excommunicated my alcoholic maga dad and don’t have an excuse to go there anymore.
