Yes it is. (I'm not going to bother with the rest since it's just your opinions)

You can not get a good bicycle that cheap, sure you can spend lots of time renovating old bicycles, but they probably did cost a lot more than $150 when new.

Far less than that, normally people do not use racing bikes for everyday use. I stood in a busy bicycle intersection and saw ~200 upright bicycles not one racing bike.

I've biked 300km during three days in upright position, it's easy and I had not problem. Further, there are thousands of people doing at least 100 km a week in upright position over here.

You can watch The last of us as a movie instead of playing it. It's 4-7 hours depending on how much gameplay there is I guess. But live streaming or editing your game sessions is big business now, so I guess it might just be a shift in what is considerd entertainment.

If all phones were unlocked and open sourced this would not be a problem, a phone from 1999 would be pretty ok to code on. That's one reason I really like GPL for consumer products.

Though for me Logic 101 was a lot better for my thinking than learning to code.

They have less than 7% of the seats in the parliament. I would say that the racist party is a lot worse. a funny thing about that

Actually, I recently bought a book on Google Play (but I guess it's the same on all platform) and I could start reading in 5 seconds. In the end I returned the book because it was DRM riddled, which was also pretty fast (20 seconds), but it's still cumbersome to manually return those 15 books you want to leaf through.

Considering how easy it is to map APs I don't see why they should have to care about _nomap.. I don't see why you would want opt out.

Then you map it again. It's not that hard especially if it works ok for ~2 years, and you manage to get an installed base during that time. Every time a phone says "i can see X Y Z", and Z isn't in the DB you will now that Z is near X Y.

You have bought into too much from car comercials, a car is a the ultimate herd animal, at least most of the time, except those rare occasions you drive to the beach a coast along in the turf at 90 mph.

I love traffic that's why I use a bicycle, 20 miles is ok to do by bike. You are not alone in not liking traffic from a car, there are recent studies that says that if when you are in a car you will enjoy the city less than when on foot or on a bike.
