This might be part of your answer. Modern mountain bikes aren’t nearly as good on the road as vintage ones were.

However, don’t replace your bike before you check your technique. Did you get a professional fit when you got your bike? If not, did you talk with anyone experienced about setting up a bike for a comfortable riding position? Bikes do NOT come out of the box or out of the aisle set up well for most people, and it’s not always intuitive what the best position for you might be without experience.

Average speed is going to be highest when you can maintain pace. Straight, flat paths with few stops. Are you able to find a stretch of, say, 2 miles that has few to no deviations or stops? Including curves - if you have to slow down and then accelerate again, that’s inefficient and will tire you out.

How’s your tire pressure? Rolling resistance is greatly affected by tire pressure.

Gears? Are you able to pedal at your most comfortable speed of pedal rotation at a maintainable pace?

I’m by no means a pro - I’m also old and overweight, but 10 mph average over a long ride comes very easily when I compensate for those factors.

For $700 I’m not interested in compromising my own convenience for theirs.

Sure is.

Doesn’t change the issue.

I guess the “private stuff” they’d be doing with her parents home isn’t sex then.

You should really move out or stay at his place when you want to fuck. He doesn’t need to regress into your childhood.

Impractical shape. Second screen has no practical use at that size.

Looks useless.

I didn’t keep track of how that lawsuit turned out.

That said, it is labeled “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” on everything in the car.

Supervised as in you have to be ready to stop this kind of thing. That’s what the supervision is.

I wouldn’t have had time between pumping iron and getting head, myself.

Driver failed to control their car and avoid a collision.

FTFY.

I’m sure the car did actually take the action. But there are TONS of unavoidable warnings and reminders to the driver to supervise and take control when FSD goes wrong.

Which you can do by such super-technical means as “hitting the brake” or “steering the other way” or “flipping the right stalk up”. Rocket science, I know.

Driver’s fault. Bad technology, yes. Worse driver.

Yes.

You hit the brake.

Nobody fucking cares.

That’s the sin.

You might be a tad zealous, but you’re not wrong.

I had a model I can’t remember which was an emergency replacement from my OnePlus 3T years ago, then two G Powers of… Some years, then my Pixel 5a and then 8, and now a Razr 2024.

Corporations can’t suffer. It doesn’t matter whether you “steal” from them or not.

All of which can be disabled.

I mean, you’re getting a lot of downvotes, but I’ve gone Motorola -> Motorola -> Motorola -> Pixel -> Pixel -> Motorola.

Both my Pixels died in less than a year. Each had battery life which, while it did improve over a few weeks as Pixel’s optimization stuff took hold, never reached an entire day. Both were unacceptably fragile. Both failed randomly, just out of warranty.

And the Motorola I’m using now has none of those problems, was cheaper, is faster, has a better battery, has a better screen, and in some ways is more customizable (fuck that unmovable search bar).

Like, really. Motorola is a sleeper brand. Not perfect, but damn good.

Being weary of open source is like being afraid to eat food that you watched somebody cook for you.
