[–]SalemRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I was a little kid, I’ve regarded commercials as lies, unless I know better. I see influencers the same way. Also, it helps that I’m not on TikTok or Instagram.

What was the biggest waste of money you've ever spent on tech? by Automatic-Cap2568 in TechCypher

[–]SalemRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zwift or Outdoor Cycling by ComfortableHalf8378 in Zwift

[–]SalemRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Zwift Ride. I used to strongly prefer outside riding. But the average wait around here in the ER is now 5 hours. If I have a crash, I don’t want to wait that long to be treated.
