I picked up a Devinci St Tropez Hybrid, decades back, for commuting. If I recall it may have had 700c x 35 on it when I got it, but I had put narrower on later for more street riding, and kept a set of winter studded knobby tires for snow and mud rides. Steering geometry is steep enough/less trail than some casual bikes. It makes riding no hands on the street (when you want to rest your hands) kind of an unstable situation, as it wanta to turn at the slightest road or body change. But overall It's been a fun bike.

A lot of assumption/projection there dude. I am by no means upset.

Add Stract.com it is a little behind in web crawling of current info, but the results are like how google used to be around 2010. Just relevant content info, no ads (yet) and occasional randomness

Yeah, I was kidding because of the fires, but you are correct. Teslas, when driven hard, eat through tires. All that torque needs grip, and so the tires are a grippy compound which typically equates to higher wear. A few friends bought them (before Elon showed his true colours), when they first got them and did the acceleration run with each eager passenger the tires were bald in no time.

I had to check if we were in the same family/circle. Besides the one situation I mentioned, what you described happened happened to a family friend also. Quite a scary time for those around the person that didn't know what was happening to them (because isolation had led to less interaction), but luckily the ones that got hints took them in to make sure they were OK. And turned out it was bad psychosis and required a few weeks hospitalization.

I'm a let people do what they want guy, but claiming marijuana is harmless is dangerous.

Some bold claims. The life style around heroine addiction has negative affects, but per experts it is a connector that is done when it pops off. Out of the entire world drinking responsibly how many organ transplants are there? Its those who overuse that are an issue. The drunk driver is no different than my high neighbour that smashed through a gate, that gate could have easily been a person. I don't claim marijuana is horrible but the best argument people who use marijuana come up with is " well it's not alcohol, alcohol is worse". That whataboutism is dangerous when people think that equates to over indulgence is without risk.

Have you had psychosis from a beer every day? Notice I'm not saying they are the same, but all drugs can do damage if overused. Heroine has no side affects after it wears off, but will end you with slightly too much. If I over drink caffeine my blood pressure skyrockets and I'm a candidate for something bursting and dying of an internal bleed. For me coffee is dangerous.

As abuse. Like if somebody tokes on the weekend or has a single beer neither is a problem.

As I mentioned prior I know people that have abused it to point of psychosis hospitalization, and completely destroying their job/education. You just have to define the amounts for abuse, and those will be different per drug.

Sounds like dude should move to GNU/Linux

Yeah just could let it sit with people believing its causation

I think alcohol abuse destroys lives, but so does Marijuana abuse. One isn't better than the other.

As a former Brit, we like crunch in sandwiches by adding potato chips to them.
