I agree with your points and did the same thing binging on his work a few years back after never having read anything by him before.

I assume the dumb thing you're referring to is

I also recently read this and agree it's a great book. You should definitely read the sequel, Parable of the Talents, next.

Get an ebike! My commute is 24mi (28.6km) each way and it takes me about 1hr 15mins. With some bone conduction headphones and a podcast it's really enjoyable.

I got run over, broke my arm, got surgery, and still love bike commuting. I won't let reckless drivers have the power to affect my lifestyle.

360 camera on my helmet now and live in a more bike friendly place.

Why do car repair shops always assume you can leave while they work on your car? in c/asklemmy

I've also thrown my bike in the trunk and then biked home. Easy option for those able to bike and live close enough. Also, lots of cities now have bike share stations all around.

It always kinda annoyed me that the melody Bart sings is pretty far off from the "See My Vest" tune.

I hope someone got fired for that blunder!
