My first bike was a Suzuki GN250 and I'd highly recommend it (or something similar) to you based on your post. Eg Honda CB250/CD250. Actually any Japanese (UJM) air cooled single cylinder bike will be a great start to learn riding and maintenance. Usually cheap and available parts too.
I now ride a DR650 and still do a lot of my own wrenching.

Those will be square taper cranks. They can be a pain to remove, but sometimes are okay. Remove circular plastic cap and there'll be a nut down inside the crank. One side will be left hand thread, the other right hand. You'll need a socket that is very thin walled. Undoing these can be hard, but getting the cranks off the square taper is usually the more annoying part as the cranks get jammed on. I've often had to bash them off with a hammer 😅
(If you're actually going to attempt this, probs worth watching a youtube tutorial)
This is less to do with single-use plastics, but plastic is often a really good option from a functional POV. It doesn't conduct heat like metal, it doesn't break like glass/ceramics and has better moisture resistance than timber. (Not saying plastic couldn't be replaced a lot of the time, but some times it's a frustratingly good option).
In terms of complete single-use plastic replacement, I'm not sure, but would also be interested. I'd hope it's mostly possible.
I have Crohns. This would help monitor disease activity for sure. And having more data could help understand triggers better.
One of the best by an all time fave of mine!
I mean... just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the expression exists because within the history of every book ever released, there would be some fantastic books with absolute stinkin' covers.
Yes, covers are there to help you judge a book. But if that was the only metric you used, you would miss out on some good reads.
Yeh, this has got to be one of the least embarrassing/concerning things he's done
Car-bombers who recently purchased cyber trucks are gonna be pissed!
