See post #8 above. I bake a lot of bread, whole grain and sourdough mostly, and brew beer on occasion too.

Ohhh, I ate my share of those foul things growing up, along with what seemed like endless boxes of Rice-a-Roni. The absolute reason I learned to cook.

The most freeing thing I've ever done, cutting the cord with cable TV. I do stream free movies, today it was Titanic, no I had never seen it before. I have a Chromebook and smartphone, need those.

I cook at home mostly, tofu tacos with homemade Pico De Gallo, Greek yogurt, and steamed broccoli tossed with butter, salt and pepper. Yummy. Good thread.

I have a low end Amazon e-bike I bought back when the Fed were sending those stimulus checks out, I use some of that for the e-bike. I'm still riding it 4 or 5 days a week and zero problems mechanically or with the battery. It did let me know that I like e-bikes and what I want in a new...

$4.99 / dozen today at Vons, at my local SoCal store. Gas for my genny was $4.69 / gallon. Edison keeps shutting power off due to fire concerns. I had to throw out dairy that had gotten warm in the refrigerator when I was on a quick trip to the coast. GRRRRRRR.

The vinyl and the equipment needed just takes up too much space for me. I have more music on my phone than most people have in their record collections. Couple that with a good Bluetooth speaker and it will literally fit in my pocket, to listen to anywhere, not to mention how easy it is to...

SoCal here, last week was about $3.99 for a dozen, down from $10.99 the week before. Regular gas here is about $5.00 + per gallon and interestingly it was cheaper when I popped over to Ventura Ca last week at $4.51 per gallon.

Just wear what you want, who cares.

I don't think speed and performance is the issue, if it were we'd have cars and motorcycles governed to 55 MPH. The problem lies with the fact there is no licensing requirement to who and what age can ride an ebike. Children and young teens, and a few immature adults are the problem...

I use a Casio electric (non rechargeable 3 volt cell) altimeter watch I bought in 2000, and I replaced the battery yesterday and see the calendar is good through 2039, so I have a few years left. My exercise watch is a Fitbit Inspire 3, not very good anymore after the last two updates. I think...

Great we're importing more racists now, just what we need.

My $600'ish dollar Amazon special MTB is aluminum, about 45 pounds, and is going strong after 4 years, used daily. Actually a darn good entry into e-bikes. I think you have an unfortunate anomaly.

My other hobby is ham (amateur) radio. Lots of items come from China, Taiwan, and Japan. I won't be buying anything radio related until some sanity returns to Washington DC.

In my neighborhood there's a fair number of kids that blast down the streets on all manner of motorized 2 wheelers, most electric but some ICE M/C's. Some look to be as young as six or seven and they don't seem to have the understanding of how dangerous it can be. They just look straight ahead...
