Once you get into bikes you realize that it becomes a sort of Ship of Theseus. So many things have become standardized you can (and will) upgrade over time and it won’t be the same bike you started with.

Rather than recommend a specific brand, go and talk to your closest bike shop (a real shop, not a chain, department store, or sporting goods store). They will tell you what is easy to source, what has recently given them headaches, and they may even help adjust the bike for your proportions. Most are also happy just to talk about bikes even if you’re not buying that day.

Side comment: Fixies, or fixed gear bikes, are less complicated and thus have fewer points if failure. Not advocating for or against… just and objective statement.

What part of the country are you in? You mention being in an at-will state, so I assume the US. Maybe the Lemmyverse can help you find a job?

Always was.

This right here! I tell my kids not to give someone a hard time mispronouncing a word because it means they learned it from reading.

I don’t know. My dad is only slightly more interesting than a stack of punch cards, and I love him for that.

My parents met in a Fortran class in college.

They’ve never had a problem saying the quiet part out loud.

Maybe they should take a name from the Bible for their haven. Maybe Gilead?

It won’t apply in front of this court. The USA, where corporations are considered people but the homeless are not.

Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit.

My lump charcoal smoker.

Portable Internet/Network Graphics?

Does this suggest Dan Levy is a middle aged white woman? He might be on board with that.

Show us the hands! Willie, in the public domain, doesn’t wear gloves. Mickey, still Disney IP, does wear gloves.
