It was only because of that ignominy that he became an icon… why take that away?

I don't disagree necessarily with your take on Boba Fett. I think it's distractingly annoying how the current Star Wars universe shoehorns Mandalorians into any story they can because of Fett
I think it's Joachim Phoenix's character's son, but yeah...
The first one is just about some folks who like cars stealing DVD players
Not even... CRT TV/VCR combos
Andor is a slow burn. It doesn't bloom until they're in prison
Boba Fett came back in the books which... aren't cannon, but a lot of the cooler elements have been borrowed and shoehorned in (ie Thrawn)
I didn't have a problem with it. I just think the show fumbled that story pretty hard.
Kenobi... man. I was excited, but honestly... the fight with Vader just fucked up so much of the continuity for me. You knew nothing was at stake because they'd have to fight later in ANH. Also, it completely invalidated Vader's while tirade about "last time we met, you were the master" because Vader effectively kicked his ass. It was a meh story that didn't need to happen IMHO
That "woke" shit is so fucking stupid. Rogue One has a pretty obviously gay couple and that movie is universally loved. One can even make the argument that when the empire was in charge that OF FUCKING COURSE gay people wouldn't be out. It's even cannon that the empire was racist towards non humans.
If the stories are good, fans will eat it up. That some reprobate is butthurt because a main character isn't a straight, white dude is the dumbest shit.
Conversely, I hope this series is good, because if it isn't, I won't want to talk about it and inadvertently join the chorus of those mouthbreathers who are all screaming go woke go broke when legitimate criticisms with that show have NOTHING to do with that
If it's your interest, why not? People buy all sorts of stupid shit. At least my expensive, stupid shit keeps me in shape.
My road bike and mountain bikes aren't even top tier and both individually coast twice that. A new, tricked out Moots or SWorks is $15k.
A $4k eBike can replace your car and save tons more in the long run
I've seen plenty of tankies "defend Russia" M8. Especially on lemmy fucking tons of erm
I feel like it's the same dozen howling assholes.
Me personally fuck Putin and fuck zelensky. I don't care who wins
Yeah, you lost me there... Last time the world tried appeasing an asshole with conquest delusions in the hope they'd cut it out it didn't work out to well
I mean... tankies are to leftists what the Westboro Baptist Church are to Christians.
Get something mainstream. As long as the bike has one of the following engine systems: Shimano, Bosch, Specialized, Mahle, TQ and a couple others I can't think of off hand. Any of the other weird ones are often impossible to diagnose and work on
Bafang motors are a crap shoot. They make a couple that are okay, but also a lot of low end, sketchy systems.
Electra has a couple of cheaper models that come in under $2k. While the motors themselves aren't unsafe, I think the bikes themselves have underpowered brakes and the like. Something like the Specialized Globe is $2800 and is a pretty solid, utilitarian platform.
Avoid Rad Power, Lectric, Super 73, and any of the other weird, fly by night direct to consumer Asian brands
I work at a bike shop. This is the main reason why we refuse to service cheap, direct to consumer bikes. Plus, most use non standard parts, underpowered brakes, etc. They're non serviceable death traps
I feel terrible for that guy. Sadly most consumers don't know. They see one bike that's $1200 while most are $4000+ and they think they're getting a deal
It's even more fun as Christopher Walken
