Once you get into bikes you realize that it becomes a sort of Ship of Theseus. So many things have become standardized you can (and will) upgrade over time and it won't be the same bike you started with.

Rather than recommend a specific brand, go and talk to your closest bike shop (a real shop, not a chain, department store, or sporting goods store). They will tell you what is easy to source, what has recently given them headaches, and they may even help adjust the bike for your proportions. Most are also happy just to talk about bikes even if you're not buying that day.

Side comment: Fixies, or fixed gear bikes, are less complicated and thus have fewer points if failure. Not advocating for or against... just and objective statement.

Exactly. I want to be able to mention the fashion lizard, the bisexual twink doctor, and his husband the suffering Irishman... And for people to understand who I'm talking about.

The real Magic Mouse is the Logitech Powerplay. You'll never convince me otherwise.

Vouchers were not designed to help low-income students. They were designed to allow middle to upper class families too take state dollars and send their children the right schools. What are the right schools you ask? The ones without the low-income students, of course. (Source: I work in Education in Indiana)

They're the same picture.

Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.

I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you're going to find.

What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.

This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.

If you want to skip wiring all together, pick up two Aurora Dimmers and put Hue bulbs in all your sockets. It's not the cheapest or most privacy friendly if you're using their hub. But going this way, you can put the dimmer near the fixture you want to control, you have no wiring whatsoever, connection to HA, and you're completely up and running inside of 30 minutes.

That or there is one long lived alien out there banging his way through the quadrants... Either way, we know what he looks like.

I know people who only poop at home. I can't imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology... Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.
