The first one is just about some folks who like cars stealing DVD players
Not even... CRT TV/VCR combos

If it's your interest, why not? People buy all sorts of stupid shit. At least my expensive, stupid shit keeps me in shape.
My road bike and mountain bikes aren't even top tier and both individually coast twice that. A new, tricked out Moots or SWorks is $15k.
A $4k eBike can replace your car and save tons more in the long run
Get something mainstream. As long as the bike has one of the following engine systems: Shimano, Bosch, Specialized, Mahle, TQ and a couple others I can't think of off hand. Any of the other weird ones are often impossible to diagnose and work on
Bafang motors are a crap shoot. They make a couple that are okay, but also a lot of low end, sketchy systems.
Electra has a couple of cheaper models that come in under $2k. While the motors themselves aren't unsafe, I think the bikes themselves have underpowered brakes and the like. Something like the Specialized Globe is $2800 and is a pretty solid, utilitarian platform.
Avoid Rad Power, Lectric, Super 73, and any of the other weird, fly by night direct to consumer Asian brands
I work at a bike shop. This is the main reason why we refuse to service cheap, direct to consumer bikes. Plus, most use non standard parts, underpowered brakes, etc. They're non serviceable death traps
I feel terrible for that guy. Sadly most consumers don't know. They see one bike that's $1200 while most are $4000+ and they think they're getting a deal
As someone who can't eat gluten, I'd love this.
I get bread equivalents made with tapioca and rice yet somehow that shit is charged at a premium
Not OP but when my pans got shitted up like this by crappy roommates I put the pans in the oven on the clean function. All the crud was carbonized. I then wiped off the ash, seasoned them with shortening, and baked them for a bit. You have to touch up the dry areas for a bit after with more oil but eventually the pan ends up properly seasoned with use
Pro tip: do this in the winter so you don't make your house 100 degrees in the summer
Yeah, except the Czech Republic will probably take meaningful steps to ensure it doesn't happen again
Not untrue, but antifa in general would cease to exist if fascists stopped coming to cities to menace people
I thought this crazy energy consumption shit would cool off a bit after assholes stopped bitcoin mining.
Glad AI stepped up so we can generate bad art and prose while buttfucking the planet
Same. Step one was no Paw Patrol in the house
Japan is another world. When I was traveling there, I remember seeing dots on the highways so as to space your interval with the car in front of you. Another person in my group started laughing because that would be ignored in the US but the guy driving was confused and couldn't fathom not following that rule. He was like, "why wouldn't you do that?"
It's even more fun as Christopher Walken
