Whoa, momma! Hey Trsnrtr, have you tried Counter Culture Hologram? I know that I've tried it in the past, but the old set-up really leaned towards darker roasts. It was really nice this morning, though - nice body, sweet, and notes of blueberry. It was my third of the morning, but it was so good that I might have to have another, even if I get twitchy 
CC seems to regularly be on sale for Prime Members at Whole Foods and, at my store, at least, it's usually pretty fresh (2-3 weeks out of roast), so I'm going through them again with the new stuff.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
