DeimosRising posted:Peloton seems like the kind of thing only a moron would buy but my wife specifically wanted an elliptical for Christmas this year so I also thought the outrage at the commercial was weird Most of the outrage is just because the bike is like $2,200 and requires a $50/month subscription to be of any use and they constantly act like it’s for regular people. They get poo poo on for everything for that reason.

$2,200 or thereabouts these days will generally get you a decently-equipped carbon road bike: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/road-bikes/performance-road-bikes/domane/domane-sl/domane-sl-5-disc/p/23391/?colorCode=black_red Understandably though, many folks don't want to ride on the road, so one could divert some of the bike money into a direct drive smart trainer and just put a much cheaper alloy road bike on it (that one could still ride outdoors if they ever decided to want to). Like most things tech I'm waiting for Peloton to move forward with planned obsolescence so that the $2k+ you blow today will be completely incompatible with the service in a few years unless you buy the new one.

I can't tell if this is a joke but i swear they already depreciated the first model.

Also buying your partner exercise equipment as requested is very different than doing so unprompted.

lmao fantastic line right out of the gatequote:One guy in line didn’t like Stephen A.’s hardline stance against smoking weed. “You're in the Bay Area. I'm sorry, bro. You should be smoking weed, bro.” But of course, such objections didn’t stop this guy from coming. He’s still a fan of First Take. Also, he’s definitely high.

It seems a little rude to arrest him for crimes that occurred before he was arrested the first time, couldn't they just add the new charges to the original indictment?
