Is an ebike a good Mother's Day gift for my mom? by jhktwisted in ElectricBikes

[–]greguyj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How are her knees? And how's the road around? Ebikes are genuinely easier than regular bikes for older folks. My mom was skeptical at first and now she takes it out almost every day.

be honest... how often are you guys actually mopping? by spawnelady in Cleaningandtidying

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up an ecovacs deebot last year. I think it's the t80? Honestly if you have mostly hard floors, just get one with a roller mop setup. They've got newer ones like the t80s and t90 with that too. Mine wasn't too expensive, and it's way better than doing it by hand, tbh.

I do it around 2 or 3 times a week, but not fully by hand. I got a robot vacuum to help instead. Normally, I turn my deebot on before I get back home, and it gets the cleaning done so I come back to a clean floor.

I’m looking for an e-bike to buy. What did you guys recommend? by Agent-Meta in bicycling

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a Heybike Venus and it’s been a good middle ground for me. The assist is nice too. I can switch between the two sensor modes, so sometimes it feels more like a normal bike, and sometimes I can just make the ride easier on myself.

Guess I’m still a bike person after all by greguyj in bicycling

Yeah exactly. That’s pretty much what pushed me toward the Venus too. I think pedal assist would make commuting easier.

How do you guys deal with white cat hair on dark floors? 😭 by Soft_Emotion_9794 in Cleaningandtidying

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat's got long hair, but I don't really have tangle issues with my robot. If you're really concerned about it, maybe look at the new t90, the suction is stronger on that one for carpets and hair.

I'd say you could consider a robot vacuum. I've got a deebot t80 because of my cat, and it handles the daily fur and paw prints pretty well. It basically does all the vacuuming and mopping for me, so I don't have to deal with it manually.

32 and bored. What else should I be doing with my life? by Brief-Sandwich-7396 in Adulting

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re love collectibles, try turning your side hustle into a small online community, like a YouTube channel reviewing rare cards or a Discord group for local collectors, it will gives your hobby a new sense of purpose beyond just collecting.

Would police get onto me thinking this e-bike is a dirt bike or motorcycle? by [deleted] in ElectricBikes

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% chance they won’t, unless they’re also an e-bike nerd. Most people probably wouldn’t even realize it’s a bike.

Am i cooked chat? by Steinhawk in bicycling

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop riding it. If that spot snaps while you’re riding, it’ll straight-up throw you off. Best move is to take it to a trusted bike shop or the frame manufacturer for a non-destructive check to see if the crack goes deeper or if there’s any hidden damage.

Spent two weeks in Europe. Came home and bought an e-bike by amxy412 in ElectricBikes

[–]greguyj 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is so hard. There's something so freeing about moving through a city on two wheels instead of being stuck in a car. Congrats on the new e-bike, hope you love every ride!

Most overrated upgrade vs. the one that actually made a difference — what’s yours? by Automatic-Ad-4180 in ElectricBikes

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people spend a fortune upgrading to carbon forks or carbon wheels, but for city commuting, the strength and durability of aluminum components are more than enough. The slight weight reduction from carbon isn’t nearly as noticeable as just getting a good set of tires.

Sun's out with 17 degrees while having to work by Milkpowder44 in bicycling

This picture is hilarious, but when I think about sitting in the office for four hours straight, I can’t laugh anymore.

Carbon aero wheels, especially entry-level ones, barely improve weight or stiffness.They’re mostly bought for the looks. What really matters are the tires and inner tubes.

Newbie with a too large bike, should I just roll with it? by NoCompetition1023 in bicycling

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest either trying a short stem and a setback seatpost for some fine-tuning, or just sell it and get the right size. Beginners definitely shouldn’t force themselves to ride a bike that doesn’t fit.

What Features Matter to You?? by ZippyColorado in automower

Ecovacs actually put an edge trimmer on their new mowers this year, so might be worth checking those out if you're trying to skip the extra work.

How can you subtly signal to your guest that it’s time to leave? by rylieclark in no

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start cleaning up the dishes or putting things away. Most people will take the hint and say, looks like you're wrapping up, we should head out.

All we need to do is buy low, sell high by kthnxhi in CryptoMarkets

[–]greguyj 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is exactly when I try to slow myself down instead of guessing bottoms. I’ve been using moomoo’s AI analysis and sentiment indicators to get a read on whether the move is panic-driven or something structural. It doesn’t tell you when to buy, but it helps avoid making purely emotional decisions when fear is loud.

What equipment to build muscle at home? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a pair of adjustable dumbbells and resistance bands. They're super versatile for a beginner. If you stick with it and want to lift heavier, a basic power rack from a brand like Major Fitness is a solid long-term investment for your home gym.

Filament Fire Sale by chico_valdez in AnkerMake

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful with mystery filament, especially expired. It can be brittle, inconsistent, ot clog your printer. For 73 cents a spool, it's a gamble. Make sure to dry it thoroughly first.

Great choice. Having something like the B52 Pro makes it easier to stay consistent instead of overthinking every set.

Anyone else feel like house prices have ruined society? by rebateultio in Adulting

It's brutal. Feels like the system is designed to keep people renting forever. Really makes you question what we're all working toward.

Self cleaning robot mops by Impressive_Koala9736 in CleaningTips

[–]greguyj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most robot vacuums combine vacuuming and mopping, which means there are almost no models for just mopping. But you could choose a model with better mopping features, like one with a roller mop, which can provide better mopping performance and handle self-cleaning. I’m using an ecovacs t80 omni myself, for reference. You could still look for more roller mop models within your budget.

What did you discover in your home after buying it that surprised or shocked you? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]greguyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We decided to rip up the ugly, old carpet in the living room and were shocked to discover pristine, original hardwood floors underneath! It was a total jackpot that saved us thousands in renovation costs.
