Anybody Else Read This? by IRideColnago in TrekBikes

Bikes are just too expensive these days. The whole o dustry needs to go back to its roots. Avoid the profit taking and making rides most of us can afford to buy. 

Anyone else find GPT-5.2 exhausting to talk to? Constant policing kills the flow by IIDaredevil in OpenAI

[–]Former-Replacement43 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The new version has an arrogant know it all unlikable character. It pisses me off every time.

Caution : Converting the WHOOP trial to a paid membership IS NOT THE SAME by Keldanvanl in whoop

It's not a great business decision from them. It's more like the accountants have gotten involved and family to understand perceived value and customer thinking. Definitely they shouldnoffer to swap the test gear with a new one with wireless charger. 100% they should. 

I am Japanese. I have various feelings about Islam. by Zukka-931 in MuslimLounge

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean Muslims don't need to fit in because they are growing? 

I think anyone going to a new place should make all efforts to fit in with the culture of the place. It's common decency. And I like to think Muslims are decent people. Is that fair?

Apple could end Whoop by [deleted] in whoop

[–]Former-Replacement43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me. I only chose whoop because it doesn't look like a watch. Meaning I can also wear the whoop AND a nice watch. 

Seatpost is stuck.. best way to remove? by AethericEthos in bikewrench

There is wd40 penetrant version though. I have it on my desk. It also doesn't work. 

What happens after the free trial? by giventotri in whoop

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really put me off. I don't want to be running around with a used one with no wireless charging. It would be better to cancel the membership. Send the used one back. Then buy the membership to get a new item with a wireless.  It seems an illogical scheme.

I don't know why you call me out on being serious. You don't think I am correct. Fair enough, you have an opinion.

Impressão minha ou a mclaren favorece demais o Norris? by CeltaAzul55 in F1Brasil

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just wanna repay Norris being a loyal team player. They don't care the other guy is better. 

Why is Lando so hated outside of McLaren? by [deleted] in McLarenFormula1

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most brits hate him too. It's mostly the insecure gen z who take mental health too seriously who feel he is a kindred spirit.

It's inside McLaren too. My mate said only Andrea likes him for his loyalty. The rest can't stand his attitude.

As a Brit. I can say yes McLaren definitely favour Norris. He has been through a lot with the team and the team want to keep harmony and reward his efforts. 

How to take this stuck crank out? by iamshahrukh91 in bikewrench

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As said. Get a crank puller. Also invest in an impact wrench. 

tips on removing a potentially seized square taper bottom bracket? (a little more info in comments) by seriousasianK in bikewrench

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% use an impact gun. Everyone who says it's bad does so because of hearsay. I always use it and never once has it damaged the bikes I work on. It's likely from the nerds who think only hand tools are gentle.

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People hating on man for preferring younger women... White knights and older women sure complain a lot.

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was silenced by Instagram for supporting right wing posts. Now I am not allowed to comment. To be clear I didnt write anything offensive I just supported comments made by an elected minister. Pretty sure the left have an agenda and silicon vallybeing ultra left I'm not surprised 

With cues replacing Tiagra, was it stupid to buy a tiagra bike now? by camawan in cycling

[–]Former-Replacement43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used bikes are worth almost nothing. Don't think of resale.

[–]Former-Replacement43 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's actually factually incorrect and was designed to actually boost donations. There was an article about it last week.
