Its like saying Disneyland is the most walkable city in the US.

It's true though.

Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.

Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.

Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.

Longer wait times? B...b...b...but he's the head of the department of government efficiency, who could've seen this coming!?

In a semi truck?

I'll give you a BIFL answer that's not super heavy on performance. I'll assume your primary goal is commuting or some light exercise.

  1. Stay away from carbon fibre. Stick to aluminium or better yet, steel.
  2. Choose a bike that has a fanbase. For example Bromptons or Surlys are expensive for what they are but you can maintain them for a lifetime.
  3. Stay away from the cheapest bikes. If you're going for a low budget bike try to stick with a mainstream reputed bike brand like Giant.
  4. A belt drive is more hassle free if you have the budget.

In what way? If it's the bumpers and the crumple zone, then that's a feature. Do you have a picture about what you are talking about? I'm curious.

You're a dumbass and I'm certain you're just like your namesake, I have so much more to say were it not for the fact that I'm extremely busy with important stuff!

But if you inhale through the mouth as the alternative, you'll directly track the viral load to the lungs which also had mucus and the viral load would multiply there instead. So take your pick. At least the nasal passage has some defences.

Include police and it's still majority white American males.

Twitter and Reddit went so much to shit and lowered the bar so much that Meta actually became almost not bad in my eyes, almost.

Apparently she doesn't have a good parent either.

 

Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later.

So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?
