Almost fell for a deepfake of myself last week.

Honestly that dumpster fee just gets baked into the job cost as a necessary evil. Tbh most crews are too slammed hitting deadlines to sort every scrap piece. The real issue is landfill space, not some hidden tax. Cheaper to toss it than pay guys to handle it differently right now. Until that math changes, the piles won't.

Totally get that! I tried a plant based lube last year and it washed off so fast. It's like they forget bikes need to work in real weather. The eco friendly stuff just doesn't stick as long, especially if you ride in the rain. I want to help the planet too, but not if it means fixing my bike all the time. Sometimes the old oil based lube just works better for hard riding. It's frustrating because we want to do right, but the products need to actually perform.

Oh, exactly. I see this same idea with small towns off the highway or a bench in a local park nobody uses. We get so focused on the big, planned destinations that we miss the good, quiet spots in between. Letting some room for those unplanned finds makes everything feel less like a strict list.
