I bought a simple spin bike thirdhand. Guy who owned it before me got it from a gym. You twist a knob and it increases pressure on a leather brake. Its built like a tank.
Its great and like you say, if I wanted I could just look up spin videos on youtube for free.
Why would I bother with a Peloton?
I live in Canada and own a Bolt. Its a pretty unremarkable EV from a tech standpoint. It keeps the batteries at the right temp by heating and cooling them. It really doesnt require any extra effort or special equipment.
The vast majority of invasives take a foothold in already disturbed land. Natural ecosystems tend to be more resistant.
I own an EV. Whats to ‘crawl back to’? The constant maintenance costs? The expensive fuel? The shittier driving experience? The worse noise and vibration?
Nah, bruh. Im good. I will never go back to ICE.
People who just want to listen to old school FM radio.
How mildly opinionated of you.
I wasnt young when it came out. Joke’s on you.
Ah, I must have been thinking renewables was the majority. I used to live there but its been a while!
Maine is primarily hydro so half by wind is an odd goal for that state. Boosting wind production is good and theres lots of it there, but its not like theyre burning mostly coal or anything.
Im glad you pointed out the algorithm thing. Seems like people get fed up with social media platforms like X(?) and Reddit and then come to alternatives demanding the same features that, at least in part, led to them being fed up in the first place.
I actually disagree with OPs assertion that these federated platforms are ‘almost as good’. Theyre better. More features doesnt mean a better platform and in my opinion often makes them worse.
Replying to this comment to warn people this person joined four weeks ago during the reddit exodus and has a history of purposefully inflammatory comments. Their name is literally a meme.
This is a troll. Simply do not engage.
I never claimed to be smart.
