    I do agree with most of your post, and the whole your average cyclist doing “30 mph without much trouble” is ridiculous. I do think you are underestimating how fast road bikes can be though.

    You are not reaching 30mph unless you are fully sprinting on a descent with a gravel bike (maybe a mountain bike if it’s a long, long, stretch) or have a road bicycle on a flat/slight slope and you are full sending it (even on a flat road I’m assuming, I’ve never ridden one). Not to mention these people will be using protective gear

    So, on a road bike, it is pretty easy on the flat to keep 20mph/32kmh. 30mph/48kmh is definitely an effort and not one that is sustainable for most people. To give you an idea, I did a charity bike ride in June which was just shy of 100 miles, it was 158.3km with 1667m of climbing as well, so not completely flat. I averaged 31.2kmh. I am in no way fast, I am alright on the flat but gravity is a cruel mistress on an uphill.

    Downhill is a different thing as well, I have hit speeds of around 62mph/100kmh, and a hill near me will almost always spit me out doing 55mph/89kmh with 0 effort(roll down the hill and sit on the drops), and that is on both my road and gravel bikes. But that is probably steeper than you are thinking. However, there is also a pretty steady -1% average “downhill”, it is a false flat, but it is really easy to cruise along at 25mph/40kph+.

    Eh, I don’t like the idea of getting rid of my smart phone. But I did get rid of all the shit I didnt actually like. I use my phone for Music, maps, the camera, messaging a few people, and a few other things. I got rid of all the crap social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, even reddit(and have not put a lemmy/kbin app on there to replace it), there is not shit mobile games installed. Just does what I need it to do, and doesnt constantly bug me about Person X and what they had for lunch.

    However, if I ditched the smart phone, I would need a phone still, but then I still need the MP3 player, a camera. And I would much rather have 1 bit of kit that does all that well, than 3 items.

    My PC has 4TB of NVME storage(2 drives), and then 8TB of HDD space(another 2 drives).

    Games, and actual used stuff all live on the NVMEs, with things like Pictures and Videos stored on the HDDs. Plenty of space to never have to really think about what to keep installed.

    I also have a 512GB Steam Deck, which also has a 256GB SD Card in it. My Switch also has a 256GB SD card in it as well.

    I dont normally defend battle passes, but SF6’s is pretty tame al things considered. It is cheap at 250 fighter coins(and you don’t have to over invest in their paid currency as the minimum you can buy is 250), you complete the easy 30 levels and you get the 250 coins back. And comes with a ROM you can play in game.

    If you compare it to Diablo 4’s battle pass, it is really good. Still a battlepass though, and I do wish they just wasnt really a thing.

    The cost of the avatar costumes though… that can fuck off. I was excited about the TMNT annoucment, but the prices are just atrocious, and are not micro transactions.
