612 every screenshit since the election



Let's see what's going on here, in unassociated screencraps that will somehow subconsciously come together to give a snapshot of what I've been observing in our culture.

At top, we have the disconnected heads of billionaires.


Do you agree? I don't. I think it's straight up evolution. Ish.


Well, there goes the dollar. 


Um, yeah, here come the stimmys. Remember all that free money? I liked it too, but it came at a cost, like double the price of everything. 


It's only natural. 

Your next OS will be an AI agent "virtual assistant." It will follow you across every device and platform, making them easy to use. (Or perhaps sucking up more of your time discussing every move it has made in that long-winded chat GPT style.)


So, about that bicycle. 

People fleeing the LA fires got stuck in traffic. They had to abandon their cars, and flee on foot. The fire department then used a tractor to clear the road. While everything burned helplessly anyway.

Unfortunately, that pretty much sums up the climate crisis.

This is all a mediated experience. The emotions we're having are the ones they want us to have. 

Keep your eyes on the prize, friends. Peace and love, light and joy, beauty, health and abundance.

603 Cyberbike Mullet R eMTB review

Image
Hello friends, welcome to the most exciting dispatch from Bike & Battery ever. It's such an exciting dispatch, it has taken me almost two months to start. Why?  I've been busy. I wish I could say I've been busy riding our new ebikes, but that's only partially true. Mostly it's been other stuff. But we do have new ebikes, and that's the story we're here for.  At top, the 2024 Cyberbike Mullet R. This is bike number one. After having an eye on Cyberbike for a few years, we pre-ordered this unit last December as part of their Black Friday/Launch sale. It arrived 2 months later, in mid-February, a couple weeks after promised. We paid $1995, including shipping. It's the second or third generation of the Cyberbike Mullet. The full retail price is supposedly $3295, but they're still "on sale" for $2495 as of this writing. "Mullet" means the front tire is larger than the rear. This is a thing in mountain bikes....

600 zoning out, new ideas in

Ok, we're going to stay away from ebikes again in this one, to the best of my ability. Which isn't great, considering we got our first ebike last week.  At top is a fun idea, a way to turn train tracks into, um, not quite micromobility. Or personal mobility. But something nicely in between train and car.  The MonoCab uses gyros to stabilize on one track, so two cars can pass each other. The idea is to run robotaxi-ish shared ride vehicles on existing train tracks.  This would be pretty neat to see where we live. We have train tracks running through town that basically connect to the nearest large city. Currently, we have two viable options for getting back and forth to that city. There's a bus that runs twice a day, or you drive. The drive involves an hour on a two way road. It's a pretty drive, but also pretty scary, especially at night or in the snow. An on-call train-cab might be just the ticket! If it feels like life i...

608 the magic of having no car

Guys, there is a secret world hiding right in front of you. It is an incredible, diverse, entertaining, joyful, healthy, and all around amazing awesome world.  What world are we talking about? Why the walker's world of course. That little known globe we all live upon, but barely tread upon.  Let me start with full disclosure. I own a car. It's a work truck. Technically my wife went to the dealership and all that stuff, but my name is on the papers various places and it's parked outside my house and I can use it pretty much whenever I want to, so yeah, I have a car. Or at least we have a car.   But for years of my life, I lived without a vehicle. Sure up until 16 I was forced to be car-free, but I'm talking about the years that I've had a license but chose not to drive.  When I moved from suburbia into a big city, parking tickets were the first thing that told me to get rid of the vehicle I had at the time, a Volks...
