Picked up a new 2022 Revolt 2 in sapphire after work on Friday. I'm happy as a pig in shit. I tried to justify an Advanced 1, but aluminum for half the price and still upgrading everything was certainly worth it. Still honing the adjustments in, but it got me a nice 10 mile highway and gravel road ride this morning.
I didn't get any loaners, but was able to get a feel for several road, gravel cross bikes. Ended up on the lower end of the budget which was still a huge upgrade. Thanks for the advice
That was the decision, and the correct one. Ended up with a Giant Revolt 2, and couldn't be happier.
I agree with you on the stumbling as well as the phone being the primary tool. I find that I venture in every couple of days as opposed to whenever I find 10 minutes to blow. Jerboa for Android isn't a terrible experience (also not great). I don't know the status of Sync for Lemmy, but that has been my go to for Reddit.
Difficult to make that call. I will say that having the hand forced to find alternatives was eye opening. I feel like engaging in this space is more pleasant, but there is a definite learning curve. I find it refreshing that there is a consistency of content after leaving and coming back after a few hours. On the flip side, the one thing I enjoy about the Reddit experience is the evolution of the comments over time. There just isn't quite the same throughput here and threads just aren't real dynamic. I feel like going forward there is likely to be a mix of both, with the hope that this takes hold.
We had a KitchenAid fridge crap out and tried or damnedest to get it repaired. In the end, the repair tech said we could throw $1000 worth of parts at it and hope, or get a new fridge. This was our first matching set of appliances and my wife was not going back to slumming with an unmatched kitchen. Guess who had to spend 4K on a new fridge. We didn't even get a touchscreen. I don't expect this one to last either.
Out of curiosity, is there an easy way to delete user data from Reddit?
Honestly, the first one was joyful. However, there was a learning curve after upgrading from a 93 hybrid. Adjustments, tweaks and education have since made for an even better experience. I don't know what took me so long to modernize.
