Wordle boycotters are people too!

Yeah, but the question is what kind? That answer has not yet been defined.

Err, quattro. Felt like Cinque though.

Never tried it. I'll check on it. I like darker the better.

My wife likes more traditional, darker roasts, too, but I let her try mine this morning - she liked it, despite previously saying that she wasn't in to coffee with fruit notes. It's lighter, but not really light - still medium.

The lighter roasts can be tough to extract, though. You have to grind finer and brew at a higher temp, typically. On the old set-up, I couldn't do that effectively and it was too sour for my taste.

OK everybody I know except for a few outliers on BF does Wordle, including mrs datlas and both daughters.

That's an extraordinarily low bar.

Wake me when they walk among us.

Openly.

I'm not a Wordle boycotter, I just don't give a **** about it. I believe that I'm a person, too, but I could be wrong.

Pad see ew for lunch. Good, but not $15 good.

Fixed

If they are walking among us, we will not likely know it because there is an equal opportunity that they exist in a form that we do not recognize or comprehend. A form such as VV which may be alien in nature, but which we just do not recognize as such is an example. :innocent:

If they do get here, we are likely doomed since they will have achieved things that we only dream of.

Uh oh. Looks like that teaser "TRON" bike/trainer will not be coming anytime soon.

Well exactly. Until they are real and relevant, it’s just a bunch of hot air.

Gobsmacked.

That they thought this was a good idea.

whats wordle?

Im sure everyone canceling their subscription April 1st didn’t help anything for team Zwift.

You realize that you just put yourself in the same category as Velo Vol, don't you?

Yes, yes I did.

You just need the right glasses.

First Time Flying A Kite.

One thing in the article that caught my eye was "Market Saturation" as one reason. Makes sense, what with Peloton tanking, that everyone who wanted a trainer already has one. Now, if they had launched hardware back at the start of 2020....

Not me! I keep on using Zwift when it's not convenient to ride IRL.

Well and this is the problem with jumping from software to hardware: the cost and lead-time are MUCH higher, and without experience in the field it's very easy to see an opening and get deep in debt trying to exploit it only to see it evaporate or be revealed as a mirage. This is what I expect will happen with Apple and the fabled Apple Car.

Software is a relatively low investment and relatively easy to scale. Hardware is much harder on both fronts, and that was before the pandemic and war. It's also slower. Even if the smart bike demand were sustained, by the time this thing was out it would be competing with an ever-larger installed base of Peloton, which would also be easier to convince non-cycling spouses for, and looks classy in a house instead of like a kid's toy. This was dumb all the way through.
