"had to replace" lol no one is making you get rid of your records and tapes bro. They still work fine.

If you can bike, bike. Bike parking always within 50m of the venue 😎

big upvote for the too fancy weed store

My thoughts exactly. We've pretty much perfected the slab phone. And behaviourally It's turned into a chore rather than an excitement.

Go to a local used book store and get a beginner book on Buddhism. Contentment is a state of mind.

I see your point, well put.

I'm entirely in favor of raising the foundation of the social fabric, it just bugs me when busses are portrayed poorly when they're underfunded, and made to seem as if they're only a poverty choice. That is the exact sort of thinking in my city, and the bus service has suffered for decades because of it.

I wish folks would see busses as superior to personal automobiles, and they would be funded accordingly.

Waiting for busses isn't a poverty problem, it's a policy problem.

There are locking axles that replace the quick release axles, to do what you described. A couple companies I've heard of (but haven't tested myself):

Friendly reminder that if you only have enough lock to lock your frame and ONE wheel, make sure it's the rear wheel! It is the most expensive of the two to replace.

That said, bike thieves should have their fingers broken.
