Sheldon Brown is the man. Don't let the awful web design deter you: you can learn a ton of stuff about bikes on his site.

Back wheel is costlier to replace (due to gearing, assuming it's not a fixie/single speed), so I prioritize locking the back wheel if I can only do one.

If you have quick-release axles and don't want to worry about having your wheels stolen, most bike shops have security axles, which have a special key to loosen the axle. I've used them in the past for some extra peace of mind. Just dont lose the key(s)!

EDIT: if you get a LONG, beefy chain lock, you can carry it around your torso like one of those ammo belts. Convenient to not need a backpack or pannier for short trips. Be prepared to spend some $$ on a good lock. It's a great investment.

Lol, looks like it would be a slog but I'd still love to try it out.

I'm with you on Dogma, I love that boss. It's also the only "Isaac vs boss" intro thing I won't skip past. It looks so cool!

Least favorite is probably that train track dude, I can't remember his name. But he goes in and out doors like pyro Scooby Doo and annoys the shit out of me.

Don't flush roaches, they wreak havoc at the sanitation plant. Remember the Three C's of stuff that regularly plugs up the sanitation system: Cockroaches, Condoms, Corn.

Clearly just a strategic corporate move to take some younger users' attention time away from the dumpster fires of Twitter and Reddit.

I will treat it the same way I do any of Meta's platforms: ignore completely :-)

Edit: younger users, compared to Facebook's avg user age

I should get back into RSS. I used to follow a ton of web comics way back in the day, but once google RSS shut down I never picked it back up. I'll look into Miniflux, thanks.
