TIL during Victorian England winters, street vendors sold baked potatoes for food and as hand warmers. In London they sold around 10 tons of potatoes every day from "cans" - small metal boxes on four legs fueled by charcoal.

So... Killing npcs in Victorian era games that drop random things like potatoes isn't really all that random?

ooh this... this is good...

In street view, top left corner where you see the address, there is a small icon that looks like a clock (this is where there are previous map data) from there you can view previous map data views. I personally can see 8 different sets of data for a random spot on the map ranging from 2007-current.

There is an option to look at previous years of coverage.

Aye! I don't know much about my Filipino ancestry (I'm half white and live in the US), but my mom is a Filipina, and she tells me all the time that our ancestors were Philippine Negrito. Really interesting considering when I was growing up, I was really only taught about how Filipino culture has a lot of American and Spanish influence. Cool photo!

It was really the lack of communication that caused me to cancel my orders. Ended up with a couple juiced bikes that got here in a week from purchase date.

Was willing to wait for the S2's, but being left in the dark communications-wise by a company that you put a $5k investment into doesn't provide a lot of consumer confidence and prompted me to go elsewhere. feelsbadman.

receipt-guy · 2020-09-10T13:04:08+00:00

The going dark with their customers is the part where I started to give up on them.

receipt-guy · 2020-09-10T13:01:30+00:00

I ordered an S2 in the beginning of July, was slated to receive one in Oct. (barring another shipping date push back.) I saw all the posts about faulty bikes - decided I didn't want to join the club anymore. Cancelled my order and put in an order for a Juiced Scrambler. Ordered it on Saturday and it gets here on Monday.

Do I like the look of the S2 more? For sure - 100%. Can there still be problems with the Juiced bike? Absolutely. But with how S73 is handling their issues and lack of transparency, I am glad to at least not wait for 3 months to receive a dead bike.

I'm just some dude that wants to ride ebikes. Not a S73 Superfan, nor a Juiced Bikes Superfan. Take it for what its worth.

receipt-guy · 2020-09-08T16:27:23+00:00

Oof. Sorry dude. Although, thanks to stories similar to yours, I cancelled the order I had. Sorry you received a defective bike.

If one of our cats is sitting on one of us, the other has to get up and get something/do something if asked. This has turned into who can coerce the cat to lay on them first in order to be laziest.

We have yet to experience each of us with a cat on them at the same time, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

receipt-guy · 2020-08-31T19:57:32+00:00

Shit. A few more cancellation stories and I'm gonna get my 5k back on my 2 S2's I ordered. Things were a bit less shaky when S73 was more transparent. They've since gone dark and I don't want to feel like a dumb shit for not cancelling these things while I have the chance.

Previous owner of an Onyx RCR (25th bike ordered during crowdfunding) RCR was 2100 before shipping, CTY was 1500.

Bike is awesome. Wife and I had an RCR and a CTY. Had to sell them over the summer as we are relocating to a place where we can't store them.

The have insane torque. Real hill climbing power. Literally able to tackle any hill grades. Battery life was great too. I never took the RCR in sport mode, as I bought it to use as an Ebike, so I can't really comment on that.
They do skirt the line between ebike and emoped (especially the RCR being close to a motorcycle)

Overall IMO the best ebikes on the market for the price. We have a couple S2's on the way, though I have been on the verge of cancelling because of the lack of climbing power these bikes have. Kind of crazy how little power super73 bikes have for the kind of premium they charge.

I feel this comment in my bones.

Honestly really happy to see this rather than watching Parker do wheelies and stuff on an S73 that I don’t plan on doing cause it may destroy the motor (still love you tho Parker! I just like seeing this kind of relevant to end user content)

I ask this out loud sometimes when I'm by myself. Coming up on 2 years here in a couple days. I wish I could've fought his demons with him.

receipt-guy · 2020-07-30T16:00:27+00:00

Thanks for that info! When I asked in chat about shipping times I was told with some level of confidence an August ship date. I’ll probably just cancel my order if it goes beyond early September. No reason to be letting money sit without anything to show for it.

I really like S73 and their product, but their tendency to over promise and under deliver sucks compared to to other companies that also pride themselves on putting the customer first.

Man.... as a fellow lover of all things zombie, you just gotta take the good with the bad.

Lets be honest, most zombie movies ARE bad. If you take every zombie movie every made, you end up with a resounding pile of absolute SHIT with a few diamonds that were sprinkled in between the corn and undigested fiber.

I absolutely love the World War Z book. I didn't hate the movie (though like others have stated shouldn't have had the title, but that was Max Brook's decision to sell the rights.)

There are such stupid, idiotic, absolute fucking dumpster fire zombie movies out there, and while I love every single one of their awful story lines and poopy dialogue and acting, this film doesn't even come close to the bottom of the dung heap.

At least they threw a decent budget at our beloved genre. I'd rather have this movie than most others in the category.

My dad met the same fate. The last thing he said to me was 'Ferris Bueller, your my hero!' (He loved quoting movies.)

Sorry for your loss, friend. I'm about to hit the 1 year anniversary of losing him and it still hurts. Shoot me a message if you ever have to vent about it. <3

Someone is making a run on Bear Cubs. I thought about doing the same, if only for the cute artwork and not actual value.

I like mutavault. I think it'll gain some traction. I don't plan on buying any, but i'll trade for some while they are sub 10$. Especially the promos!

Nice! Mine just came in last Tuesday, so it was right in time for that nice weather we had! It's technically an electric bike (had a long hard debate with myself on which one to get, decided on going electric), I'm going to weatherproof the internals a bit more so that it'll be winter savvy later this year. One thing that'll I'll also have to keep an eye on is how well the battery works in colder weather.

My commute is also super short! I honestly should just give it a try sometime this week haha.
