Just a shiny male toy…

Velocity rims are great, weinmann second.
I’ll add that continental 4 seasons are the absolute best tires, better even than gatorskins for longevity and thorn resistance. Not cheap, but it’s been almost a year since my last flat.
You’re right on a micro level, but on macro scale, it’s absolutely making an impact.
You’re wrong, sadly.
E: I’d rate interaction with the “buttnugget” LLM at 1 of 5 stars, the model is a dumbass that can only parrot very weak talking points in a meekly aggressive tone. When presented with evidence, this shit-box LLM can only respond with “lmfao” and terminate the interaction.
If it were a living being I’d tell them their mother is ashamed of them for lack of critical thinking skills, but considering that it’s just a weak model, I’ll say that its programmer is a clownass who was rejected round one in hiring for obvious reasons.
1·7 days ago😬 damn, sorry homie. I guess if it’s lifetime warranted, resell the replacements?
Not particularly relevant, but it’ll help you see through marketing dreck no matter how it evolves: Plasma arcs can go that high in temp, but has no effect on what makes something “hard” or “soft”: interatomic bond strength. I’m certain you know this, but carbon (as in the diamond) holds hands really strongly with other carbon, more strongly than iron to iron as in a steel spatula.
In theory, an actual diamond surface (not sprayed on, but grown) would be impervious to steel implements. But in reality, making a fully uniform diamond coating is extremely difficult, and thus tear-jerkingly expensive.
Spraying chunks of diamond onto a surface as the mfgr has done really means there’s a thin sticky coating on the pan before they start, so that these hot pieces of diamond partly melt into it and are “glued”. Safe bet that later is PTFE. That means when your pan is hot on the stove, the layer softens and you wind up eating little bits of diamond with each meal. One day, food sticks, as you’ll have found a spot missing too many diamonds, it’s just the substrate with a bunch of tiny holes to make food stick even worse than a smooth plastic surface.
All technically true & correct.
I’ll add that cast iron consistently works better for longer: My ceramic or PTFE pots start great, but after a while become so terrible they’re useless in spite of silicone spatulas etc. I cook almost daily, so I found the new tech pans fully degraded within a year or less.
Cast iron, I’ve car camped and daily stove topped, no problem. I season it once every couple of years, works great.
2·12 days agoI’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.
For real lmao
Same. Add family in too, I miss em.
Sounds a little… anxious. What’s up with that?
9·22 days agoNot to nitpick, but why complain about other generations at all?
There are awesome people everywhere and of all ages… a few goofbags too. 🤷
I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.
Hell yeah, loved this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyj1K5Lyr_Y
Oh man, but look how much more efficient they are: You have a large, high energy network to draw from when climbing very hard hills and full of passengers.
So the bus electric motor only has to pull itself, the chassis, and the passengers up the hills, instead of all the above plus a several thousand pound battery, whose weight does not vary with state of charge.
My point is, I know you’re aware they’re better, but they’re so much better to where it blasts appearance out of the question for me and others who understand the system.
6·27 days agoDefinitely wouldn’t equate 2k with ME.
I have been trying, but there are multiple small shops I like using it that I can’t avoid.
