Windows could run twice as fast and I still wouldn’t switch back to it.

Wait until you find out about how this is pretty much new home construction anyways.

“Maybe if you owned a more standard bike, you could find parts for it more easily?”

“Absurd balderdash, I won’t hear of it.”

I have a 20 year old car. This January I had to replace the control arms (bushings were shot), CV axels, and steering knuckle assembly. I did this all myself, to save a few thousand in labor (not joking, thats what one of my friends is paying a shop right now for just the brakes.) Still the price of those parts added up to just under 600. For that budget I could go out and buy a veritable fleet of used bikes from garage sales. Tune them up with tools on hand and a few spray cans of Degreasers and Teflon lubricants they wont even sell you in Europe, and never run out of bikes to ride again in my life. The thing is, I still own a damned car. I resent that I own a car. I won’t try to argue that a bike has more utility than a car because it would be impossible. However, I will argue to the end of a time that a bike is more utilitarian. We all just don’t live the kind of lives that are compatible with the slower speeds, more difficult travel that a bike requires outside of inner city travel.

My point is that bikes are so much cheaper to maintain in the long run that even if you were doing the same miles, it would come out far cheaper. Just because you have a car that has been cheap to maintain, doesn’t change the simple math of that problem. The average price of bringing your car to the shop once could buy you multiple used bikes from garage sales.

That’s your fault for buying a gary fischer bike. Thats like owning a british leyland sports car and complaining that none of the local shops have parts for it.

Yeah if you discount insurance, oil changes, and gas money; then over a 6th month period you might spend more money on parts for a bike than a car. Maybe.

Consumerist mind set. Bikes don’t tend to break all at once and you can ride a beater right across the country with a hundred bucks of spare parts. A lot of shit you just don’t need and a proper bike is the epitome of that. Also cars require maintenance too, and a hell of a lot more of it and it’s a lot more difficult and expensive. There is probably a whole order of magnitude number of things that could go wrong with a car at any moment.

No, the grid goes down and nobody gets service. The laws of economics do not supersede the laws of physics.

Well, at any given moment production and demand must be equal on the energy grid, so maybe this wasn’t the most ideal example.

I just wish everything wasn’t upside down. Its very confusing to use the mouse.

Anyone know the artists name? I have seen a few others of theirs that I like.

Yeah I have noticed most professional chefs on youtube seem to have a gas range and one or two plug in induction tops that get very well used.

The nice part of gas stoves is how easy it is to see and hear how much heat a burner is putting out. I don’t know if induction stoves do this too, but the heat cycling on resistant heating stove tops is the most annoying thing about using them.

Funny cuz I installed debian and was breaking shit inside 30 minutes. Never underestimate the power of ignorance.

So in order to get decent medical advice from an LLM you just need to be a doctor and tell it whats wrong with you.

No telling why…
