Pretty sure this is how Democrats believe it will play out:

Of course, we're only a few steps in, and every step is hundreds or thousands of lives ruined and/or lost.

What a time to be alive.

From the thread:

Just because it's a rather unusual view... Iran's ballistic missiles seen from the cabin of a passenger airplane over Dubai:

It’s also the cheapest in Europe at just under €0.08 per kilowatt-hour — less than half the EU average.

I'd be so happy with the average. That would be less than half of what we pay.

Another Gesture owner here. I debated hard vs the leap V2. Still not sure if I made the right decision, but I'm also still loving the chair 5 years later.

When my wife finally admits her IKEA chair is trash, there's another steelcase coming to this house.

Less junk, fewer things. Less anxiety, fewer panic attacks.

... And I already reached semantic satiation with "fewer."

You know the main seals are replaceable, right? They're a wear item. I think we've replaced ours 2x in 10 years of frequent use.

You've gotten a lot of solid practical advice, so I'll take it to theory.

Learn how it works and what happens when you push that clutch in and let it out.

Here's a video with a lot of detail and animation.

What I wish I'd known: electrical is the worst part of an old bike. The mechanical stuff is mostly straightforward on the old UJM bikes, but electrical gremlins (when they happen) can be very frustrating.

Advice for a bike: get what you want to ride. If they made a lot of them, you'll be in a good position for support online. Try to find one that hasn't been cut up too badly ("cafe", "bob", etc). The closer to stock, the better. If electrical modifications have been done, get every detail or find another bike; troubleshooting any of that will become your nightmare.

An old 750cc is probably about as powerful as a new 400cc and will be perfectly comfortable on the highway.

There are several modifications that can be done if seat height is a touch too high, the easiest is usually a modified seat cushion.

I distinctly remember as a kid going to a pizza place with a group after church and the leader chastising the staff for working on a Sunday.

Looks like St. Paul, MN to me.

Right on the table. Many laughs were had!
