  I think the problem is that the whole ecosystem is geared towards gaming your psychology to the point you endlessly scroll/watch/make them money.

  Even after the iPhone was launched in 2007 life didn't significantly change. It was the app store ecosystem growth post 2012 or so that changed our lives forever.

  I notice I am never bored anymore. I default to checking the news or social media on my phone, or in the evenings putting on Netflix etc. I want to change this aspect of my life but I don't think technology is inherently bad. I think it is just the ideological system we decided to adopt, which is buy more, consume more, scroll more, watch more, endless entertainment.

  What if there was a platform that incentivised healthy wholesome behaviour instead of zombie consumerism and politics fear scrolling? One that gets you out of the house, gets you seeing people in person and doing stuff, making friends etc?

  LFGSS forum is an example of this. It gets us excited about cycling, brings us together etc

  Hi, yes, sorry there is only one pair that are not clincher and that is the pair that have the very obvious carbon fibre pattern. The obvious carbon fibre finish ones are tubular not tubeless! Have fixed that.

  The pair you have attached is a matt black clincher pair. One of the two has some slight marks from handling (pictured) so I can do a bit of a discount for that. More pictures of that specific pair.

  Putting the kettle “back” in the fridge

  My wife once put a plastic kettle on the hob and melted it

  This sounds scary. I would be bracing for it to shatter. It would have to be really over engineered to gain my trust.
