Would that be a good substitute for vanilla, e.g. in brownies?
Iām finally in a life situation where a bike seems to be worth the purchase (no longer in as walkable an area as Iām used to).
I know I should just get a basic hybrid bike for like $600 or whatever, but maaaan I am having a hard time not just jumping straight to a $4000 e-bike.
iād rather burn calories and not worry about it getting stolen.

You want a moped in the shape of a bicycle?

Except theyāre awesome and mopeds suck.
So worth it if you live in an area thatās not completely flat and bike reasonable amounts. You can bike all year without issues, only thing stopping you will be extreme amounts of snow.

My gf recently bought a bike, I already owned one. Weāve been biking a bit recently. I donāt know where you live but I would say if you donāt know what to get, get a standard bike, and you can always buy an ebike later and you wonāt have wasted much money. You can just sell the other bike for a couple hundred less. My gf was tossing up on an ebike vs normal bike and happy she opted for the latter. One trap you can fall into is being too aspirational, i.e. thinking youāre going to go bike trails or something. In reality youāll probably just use it in your local area. But if your local area is hilly as shit, then sure, ebike.

That is the logic Iām trying to force on myself.
I want it for the small trips that I used to be able to walk (grocery, gym) and maybe an occasional ride to the beach. A standard bike will do just fine. But yes I live in a super hilly area and the thought of pedal assist getting me home after a squat workout is super tempting haha
Iāve bought a couple of bikes from here and have been very satisfied (one was a $2200 carbon road bike).
They have an electric that looks like a good price
Battery or not, itās getting stolen if itās an Urban area.
Getting a pre-lit artificial tree from Costco several years ago was maybe the smartest thing Iāve ever done.

Same. My wife has Christmas tree smelling candles because I miss the scent of a real tree in the house.
Iām not one who loves holiday decorating, but a real tree is worth it every time.

My mother considered artificial trees to be āshanty Irishā, a label she INTENSELY desired to avoid, having grown up poor and Irish. All these years after sheās gone and I still canāt do it because sheād be so upset.
Also I like the smell of a real tree.

Those that do trees, real or fake, I assume itās for kids? I donāt think Iāve ever done a tree as an adult, and canāt think of any friends that have either except those with kids.
Iām sorryā¦does that say six THOUSAND eight hundred and nine dollars and ninety-nine cents?
American?
Wow, inflation really is bad, I guessā¦

Hmmmm. Yes my kids would be sad if we didnāt do a tree. Canāt say for sure what Iāll do when theyāre not home for Christmas, I guess weāll cross that bridge when we get to it.
