    That sucks. Personally, exercise is essential for me. Also, I would consider an ebike. I've been doing it for about a year, 30mi round trip for work. Even through most of a Michigan winter. Really trying to never have to deal with a car again. Recently got a mototcycle for those real long trips. Best of luck

    Im cool now

    I posted about this a few days ago. Thought id share that I got the bike! 02 Yamaha 225 xt in what appears to be excellent condition, 3600 miles for $2800. A very knowledgeable and helpful father and son showed it to me and help me lift it into the truck which was very appreciated. Was going to ride it today but the cold weather was too much for the dying battery. Still, im pumped! https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/775641931082580/?referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner

    New rider looking for an entry level dual sport. XR 150 seems perfect. I knew it would cost more to have a new bike but an extra $900 in delivery/setup? Ive got no intention of paying. Im just *removed*in. See what yall think?

    Not true. For example, people with epilepsy use to be considered demon possessed, and were sometimes executed. This happened for at least thousands of years. There's a ridiculously long list of examples of how we have come far.

    2 big problems with that statement. 1st, it's being harvested at a much greater rate than it's being replenished. Second, old trees and old forests are far more valuable to the ecosystem than the cookie cutter "forests" planted after harvests.

    Just reality. I thought it was pretty clear but I'll say it anyway, it's angry about deforestation, with a particular emphasis on old trees, hundreds, setumes thousand year old lynchpins in an already devastated ecosystems.

    I ride 40mins, twice a day by ebike through mostly dirt/country roads. When weather is good, its great. Less so when rainy but still partially enjoyable. Only real concern is cars...and to be fair, deer. See them every morning, usually close up. Join me in the ebike revolution

    Help me understand how to convert to single speed please

    I've got a single speed k1 wide chain I want to put on my multispeed bike (lectric 3.0 ebike). I'm a newbie, not sure of what info on the bike might be relevant but it's a modern, 7 speed, freewheel. I've messed this up before. I tried this chain on a different bike when converting it but I kept skipping. Sounds like I need better fitting cogs? Do I need "wide" ones? Crankset and rear cog? Possible better fitting chain tensioner too? Shopping around, I'm not seeing much a difference in sizing for these parts. Any tips appreciated

    Ohh the drama. If you read the article you'll see most of those plants are only toxic to dogs if you eat the stems, leafs, or seeds. Clickbaity article. Of course there are some exceptions like onion and chocolate.

    The idea that dogs shouldn't have "human food" doesn't make sense.

    Sure, don't give dogs twinkies, but for that matter, don't give humans twinkies either. The idea makes it seem like dogs are aliens or something. Dog food ingredients are usually meat, grain and veggies, just like our meals. Food that is healthy for you is healthy for your dog, and vice versa.

    Such parents certainly exist but in my experience, most are grateful for help. Again, iny experience, discipline can be tricky but not usually isn't too complicated. Worse case you can "tell on them".

    As my edit mentioned, I agree that modern, 1st world parenting has gotten away from such evolutionary roots, but I think "diametrically opposed" is overselling it. For example, most still send their kids to school.

    It takes a village

    Listening to a book..."Sapiens". Author talked about how dependent kids are. How compared to other animals, our babies need alot of support in the early stages of life. Like alot of you I'm sure, I've got a fair amount of kids in my life...none of "mine" but some kind of are. I guess my point is we may not have kids, but really, they are all our kids, as supported by evolutionary biology, it takes a village. Edit: Going a bit deeper...the author explains that for millions of years, while we were tribal, nomadic gatherer/hunters. We didn't know who's kids were who's, obviously the mother was primary caretaker, but, circling back, we evolved to raise kids as a community, not so much of the "traditional" mom/dad/child dynamic popular today. I don't plan on "having kids" but still, I think it's all our responsibility (hopefully a partially enjoyable one) to help. Hard to argue anything more beneficial for our societys future than having well developed youth.
