Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.

Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.

Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.

Good thing that bikes can carry groceries for at least a week.

Longer wait times? B...b...b...but he's the head of the department of government efficiency, who could've seen this coming!?

If Nestle says you're bad that should be a wake up call for even a criminal.

When they say they can't afford to forgive student loans, this is what they mean. This is where the money went. A trillion each year into the military that can't say where the money went and fails the audit each year.

In a semi truck?

I'll give you a BIFL answer that's not super heavy on performance. I'll assume your primary goal is commuting or some light exercise.

  1. Stay away from carbon fibre. Stick to aluminium or better yet, steel.
  2. Choose a bike that has a fanbase. For example Bromptons or Surlys are expensive for what they are but you can maintain them for a lifetime.
  3. Stay away from the cheapest bikes. If you're going for a low budget bike try to stick with a mainstream reputed bike brand like Giant.
  4. A belt drive is more hassle free if you have the budget.

In what way? If it's the bumpers and the crumple zone, then that's a feature. Do you have a picture about what you are talking about? I'm curious.

And his bank account balance is not low enough.

It's always a combination of the two.

Instead the entire area will be turned into glass under Kamela but hey, she had good intentions! Unlike Trump who would have lead to the same outcome but he wouldn't have those good intentions.

 

Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later.

So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?

 

From 3:18, CNBC reports that taxes from oil is not enough to repair roads and general federal revenue provides funds. That means that everyone is subsidizing car usage.

If there were reduced car usage, infrastructure wouldn't have decayed at this rate. Ever increasing weight of trucks, SUVs other trending vehicle do nothing but accelerate this problem. This is another reason to tax vehicles by weight.
