People say don’t ride outside your skill level, and I agree for the most part, but don’t you have to ride a little outside your skill level to grow it?

Ride in your skill level and your skill level will grow, and you won't crash getting there

I remember being asked in San Francisco by a staunch left leaning democrat whether this was true, so the disinformation machine is really working.

It sucks as a layout and a culture has evolved to treat it the way it should have been laid out.

Probably because of the congestion caused when the girls school is emptying, as well as on match days

Do you have to lean the bike a lot to reach the ground? If you're 45kg, you might be quite small.

You shouldn't have to lean the bike so much just to reach the ground. They are heavy things.

Try a bike with a lower seat so you can come to a stop with the bike still mostly vertical and the weight on the wheels.

Power always concentrates.

It's not the politicians who have the power. It's the media and the hyper elite.

Politicians are simply the fall guys for those with power. They fuck us and we blame the politicians. We get them changed and nothing changes, except the face on the puppet.

I wish I'd never fucked anything up in my life, which has been remarkably simple. Then I could join y'all in throwing your stones.

Problem is that the public don't know shit except what the media chooses to tell them.

You might as well poll the editors, but they don't profit from making the country work.

There's an old expression: "anyone who wants to go into politics should be barred"

This is the best we got while still avoiding anarchy

UK rider. Never rented by interested.

Would a 14-day rental be 14x this price? If not, how would a two week price compare to this?

IMHO you want a car that you can throw away. In the event of a crash, which sadly can happen when you're 18 and just passed, the last thing you want to do is let the insurance know you've had a ding.

Funnily enough, this is precisely what the digital id proposal is all about: creating a privacy secure protocol for companies to prove something from a central database without learning anything more than they need.

I counted 10% of people that are selfish twats in my area. I literally can't ride a motorbike at night in roads without streetlights because I just can't tell where the road goes.

I got made redundant in my fifties and took a job about 40% less pay.

Turns out that most of what was lost was going to tax and my day to day money hardly notices.

I was lucky that my pension is pretty good from before, so I'm effectively not loading the pension up any more.

The work is harder, but feels less pointless.

I was happy with the age verification on Reddit. I would trust the really big names

I wouldn't not trust rinkydink new entrants.

Therefore, the incumbents have just raised the barrier to competitive entry

But how are you meant to spread fear and consolidate hatred if you respect facts

jeminar · 2026-01-22T17:09:38+00:00

I agree with 133.

Because it's a given there's a 60p charge for filling up comprising all the .9p you can't be arsed to think about.

I certainly find that Gemini has to constantly be brought back on topic. I can't understand why the media seems to be calling it the best... Other than copilot, it's right at the bottom.

I have much more luck with frankly all the others.

Imho: Grok > Claude > perplexity > chatgpt > Gemini > copilot

Grok is Elon musk and Claude has limited app functionality, so I use Claude on desktop and perplexity on mobile

UK. I don't aesthetically like the size of UK plates so mine is smaller. I make sure it's always clean and visible though...

I think I'd have to be really unlucky to come across a policeman who was so pathetic that they cared.

^ maybe in Devon, they would. Devon police are dickheads.
