Funny/Creative Video Clips

(rant coming)

I do not understand this trend with people watching another picture-in-picture video, and commenting on what the video is showing or saying. And I can't STAND this video trend of showing someone listening to a joke and laughing hysterically at the punch line. It's the video equivalent of a laugh track, which is an insult to one's intelligence by suggesting that they wouldn't know when to laugh otherwise. I don't need to see some "influencer wannabe" explaining a video. Just give me the video and I can make my own judgment about it. Tell me a joke and I'll laugh if I think it's funny... not because someone in a video laughs, ergo I must laugh. I truly hope these trends die off soon.

E-Bikes

It was in the low fifties when I went riding this morning. I rode my 21 mile loop and came home to watch the Chiefs play football. I saw nobody on my morning ride. After the game I went riding again. The temp had raised into the low to mid sixties and the wind had picked up some. It was pretty nice riding weather and I saw some riders and people out enjoying the day. I rode behind a guy on an e-bike for a mile or so. He wasn't pedaling... just riding. He stopped and turned around before I passed him. I'm guessing he was 12-14 years old. I found an unopened air chuck and pressure gauge on the road today. I searched it up on Amazon and sellers had the item listed from twenty two to twenty nine bucks. I would never buy this item but I'll put a quick coupler on it and put it in my shed. I rode by the item three times yesterday and twice today before I slowed down to see what it was.
I also stopped and offered assistance to a young man parked on the side of the road with his motorcycle. He had phoned a buddy to bring him some gas because he ran out. He had an interest in my bike so we discussed it a while before I headed on down the road. He was gone my next time around. I logged 54 miles today.

@The_Chief, what do you use to back up your phone, don't think i've ever done that 🤔
I generally connect my phone to my computer and copy my photos, videos, and any updated documents or other files to a backup folder (we're paranoid and have several redundant backups). Just before installing the update, I'll use Samsung Cloud and Google Backup in Settings.

After the upgrade is complete, I will turn off the phone, boot into Android Recovery (Volume up+Power) and delete the CACHE partition just to eliminate any stray bits floating around.

In my day ...

Yep, I used a dial-up (56K) modem for internet access, and sent faxes from my PC. I still have a tape walkman and CD/Minidisc ones. I have boomboxes (one is tape, cd, AM/FM/DAB+ Radio SD/USB and Bluetooth) the other is similar, but lacks Bluetooth and tape.. We still use DVDs and my main source for Tapes/CD/DVDs is Charity)Thrift) shops.

What it feels like to lose weight?

Reading on the subject, it is recommended to eat small snack like meals often during the day vs a number of big meals. Who has the time for that? I'm pretty certain our early ancestors didn't sit around and eat little meals when they felt like it. Instead, they consumed what they could when they had something to eat. They survived on the diet or we wouldn't be here. I don't think they were over weight. I don't think they suffered from high blood sugars. In fact, I don't think they suffered from the majority of problems that plague modern man. They were on a strict exercise and protein diet that served them well.
