It seems like most subs are back, with a few notables missing or changed like bestof. However, quality and volume seem to have tanked at least somewhat without 3rd party apps.

My feed is usually refreshed with new posts/content a couple times per day. Now it's maybe a day or more.

Hopefully this works and someone does reddit next. My feed there is currently mangled and moldy.

I started running semi-synthetic about 20 yrs ago when full synthetic was prohibitively expensive. That stopped being very available about 8-10 years ago and went full synthetic around then.

I'd be curious to know if your oil filter failed and the resulting bypass eventually caused the problem.

It has been an interesting ride to say the least.

I didn't get too far down the rabbit hole. I did the caffeine and l-theanine stack for a while which worked well. Others got into moda and while I never did, I did get into an mlm (groan) product called thrive. I used it about a year: shakes, patches, pills daily of a bunch of natural stims. I loved the product but hated the mlm aspect of it.

That was the year I started the agency and I played league volleyball 4 nights a week. 2 indoor leagues and 2 outdoor. Won a championship in one indoor and one outdoor season that year. I'd also sub for others after my matches, playing all night after work. Looking back it was good for me mentally, temporarily physically, and was a great start for the new business.

After a year or so I got adrenal burnout (big surprise) which took a couple years to fully recover. While I still have some caffeine/l-theanine stack powders, as I get older I get more sensitive to stims so I don't even drink regular coffee daily.

While I pushed things to the extreme and wouldn't recommend it, going for an easy stack like above or trying moda would be attractive if I needed to be on point all day again.

My curated subs (homepage feed) are mostly dead. The only thing running are small, special interest subs. Quite a boring read.

/all was pretty defaced this morning. Still so but not as bad, 4 of the top7 are about the blackout.

I'm surprised they haven't taken over control, so it appears admin plans to just wait this out.

There feels like a real opportunity here for the right tech at the right time.

Seems like a lot for just materials, no?

Agreed, we just don't all know it yet. My debbie says we're going to bottom this summer/fall and start climbing out during holidays, barring any major geopolitical events/changes. I'm wondering if that timeframe might have a dash of wishful thinking, however.

I've seen this movie...

I think it's because bikes are much less complex. It would be much easier to change the powerplant and make a complete unit for testing, R&D.

I personally think we have missed the boat going electric first vs hydrogen.
