The REALLY special thing is that because the air quality has been so terrible, until the last couple of days it hasn’t been safe to go out for prolonged periods to wash your car, so the ash has just been sitting there. I think I’m going to spend a few days using a foam gun and rinsing before I dare try an actual ONR…

This is the kind of situation where you are supposed to call the cops (as opposed to “a Black family is barbecuing outdoors” or “squeegee kids didn’t like me trying to fight them”).

Head over to Lifehacker.

We do have a lot of cool stuff. The problem is that the cool stuff doesn’t erase living in a dystopia.

So they’re for the people who are stuck indoor cycling, but miss the adrenaline rush of dodging potholes and swerving to avoid getting doored?

It just seemed like a lot of cool scenes strung together. I had trouble making out their points for most of it and I’ve read the book.

With the new Peloton Bike+ coming out, obsessive upgraders are selling their current-model Peloton bikes. Peloton is only offering a $700 credit for older bikes, so you’ll see people offering to buy a used Peloton for $1000, meaning the seller gets a lot more than they would have on a trade-in while the buyer gets a…
