I hate none of the three.

Appereance is subjective but strenght is not. OSB is significantly weaker than regular plywood. Personally I consider it a construction material meant for walls, roofs and floors but I’d never use it for furniture making.

is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

By not using the platform. You think you’re being clever but all you’re doing is making them more money.

It would need to be above it. I find that most often when they get wet, dirty and noisy it’s because of the water falling onto them from the tire. As long as I drive over puddles at certain speed then this doesn’t happen but when I slow down enough then the water starts dripping onto the rotors and calipers.

Because for third of the year I’m riding in deep snow.

We had one winter here with freezing weather and no snow and that was great for bike riding. Knee deep snow changes everything then.

My hardtail is much more nimble than this, but then again; with those tires it don’t need to be. I can just drive over what I’d otherwise be trying to avoid. Technical trail (not downhill) riding is what I almost exclusively do. It’s not fast but it’s consistent.

Fat tires are far better in sand than any other kind of tire. Sand and snow is what they’re essentially designed for. Lowering down the tire pressure makes a huge difference too.

Four of them to be specific. Now brainstorming ones for the rotors as well.

It’s just overall more fun bike to ride compared to my acoustic hard tail. It’s like driving a tank and it goes quite literally anywhere. The electric assist then helps just enough to make it not feel like you’re dragging a car tire behind you. I guess it’s also worth noting that I almost exclusively ride hiking trails. Where I live it tends to be quite wet most of the year too. Being able to float over mud-pits is rather useful.

I too have studded tires now. I made a thread about this a while back.

Snow is not an issue with tires like that. On ice the size doesn’t help a bit though, thus the studs.

Rarely and almost never by necessity. I needed the wide tires for snow originally but I’ve barely touched my other bike since.

For me it’s waiting for them to put their phone down, and when they do, I’ve already forgotten about it.

Notepads are underrated. It’s so much more intuitive than using an app.

What I would like is something for dealing with lens fogging in snow

I’ve got a tubular scarf that has a mesh grid where your mouth is. While wearing that I only get fogging while being still but on the move it’s not an issue but it still retains enough heat to stop my mustache from freezing solid. I imagined that a Buff scarf would be thin enough that this wouldn’t be an issue but it’s not.

I’ve experienced this like 3 to 4 times in total but the first time you fire up a new toaster makes this smell like nothing else and I find it extremely pleasant. It’s just impossible to replicate.

Well obviously if there was literally not a single new device matching the criteria available, then I would need to compromise on the headphone jack but if there is even a single device that still has it along with the other features then that’s what I’d get.

I did the exact same thing with my previous device, LG V20. I used it closer to seven years while waiting for someone to release a new model with a headphone jack and a removable battery. Then Samsung released such device and that’s the one I got.

I’ve listened somewhere between 500 to 1000 episodes from him. I wouldn’t exactly call myself a fan but it’s just one of the shows I’ve subscribed to on my podcast app and when ever he has a quest on who sounds interesting I download the episode and listen to it while working. I don’t agree with him on everything but that applies to all the other podcasters I listen to as well. Joe has his flaws but generally I find him smart, nice, honest and a reasonable person. If one bases their opinion about him on the articles and YouTube clips of him then I can’t really blame them for having a skewed perspective but personally, as someone who has listened thru the entire 3 hour episode and knows the full context, I’m not very convinced by most of the accusations made of him. One simply couldn’t hide their “true personality” while putting out tens of thousands if hours of unscripted discussions online. I feel pretty confident in saying that I know Joe about as well as you can know someone without ever having met them.

The way things are going? EU just recently mandated that in the future batteries must be able to be replaced by the end user. There’s likely going to be more devices like this soon, not less.
