Personally, I don't think there is any value in the smart Kinetic, it's just another power estimate really. You can use Trainerroad or software of choice to do the same thing. It uses speed and known resistance to estimate power.
As far as trainer tires, I had one for a while, and eventually, I couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I run Conti GP 4Ks, and just figured the mileage is the mileage (honestly trainer miles are a little easier on them a there is no road debris). If you had some badass tubulars or something I would probably get another wheels, but not for just your usual good clincher. I have a dedicated trainer bike these days, so it's somewhat moot for me.
The price difference is only $30 from what I can tell but I am not really sure what the difference is? I know their top of the line smart control automatically adjusts resistance based on your training program of choice, but it's $500+ though, and I don't see any value for what I want to do. At 369 they have a smart road machine and at 339 they have a road machine. Not sure the difference other than the smart says compatible with apps. I assume it has some built in sensors? I only have a speed sensor on my front wheel so if it has some basic stuff i'll pay an additional 30 bucks, but if it just has Bluetooth capability and I would still need to purchase additional cadence/speed/power sensors then I'll go with the "dumb" version.

Yeah did some digging last night based on the advice given, and I figured I probably need to up my budget. I just figured cheap $100 trainers are probably junk so I doubled it thinking I could get something decent. I really had no idea how expensive they can get. Probably looking at the Kinetic Road Machine as it seems to be the go to for what it is. Doesn't look like there is much difference price wise between the "dumb" and "smart" version, so I will probably opt for the smart, but I am not really sure the difference. Does the smart have built in power meters and speed sensors that relay to an app, or is that stuff I would have to buy extra? Also is a trainer tire a requirement, or more of a suggestion for those that roll on expensive tires?

I’ve never understood how a cultural movement ever became centered around a cooler.
“Damn! My drink is still cold! This is amazing and deserves a sticker on my truck!”
It's crazy. Overnight they convinced a bunch of people that they need to tailgate with a bear proof cooler that can hold ice for a week even though you are just going to take that Ice and dump it on the ground at the end of the day.

I do think they taste better, but I wasn't sure if I was missing out on some nutritional gains when I cheap out. I usually have a keep a dozen of the organic free range on hand for regular eating, and hard boil a bunch of sweat shop eggs to feed the pythons.

I'd like to keep it around $200. Definitely looking at dumb trainers. What about rollers do you have any experience with them? I like the idea of the roller, but with no resistance afraid it's hard to get a workout on.

What are the benefits of free range eggs other than the quality of life of the chicken.

Can you guys school me on trainers? I have an entry level Felt road bike, and I would love to log more hours. Not that trainer miles are the same, but I only have time for quality longer rides on the weekends. With young kids and stuff going on it's not always a given that i'll have time on the weekends. Definitely not getting up at 4:30am, and as novice I would be kind of skittish riding in the dark anyways. Would like to have a setup to stay fit so that when I do have time I can put up more miles.
Are cheap trainers just absolute junk?

Make the trade. The opportunity cost isn't what a 2nd rounder could mean to a competent GM, it's what it will be wasted on with Jerry Jones.

It really sucks when you have a young daughter in prime flower girl age. She's in so many damn weddings that she doesn't even want to do it anymore. Makes those weddings that would have been a make an appearance and bolt turn into all day affairs.

If you are married it's a little trickier, but yeah I don't go to lots of weddings.

It's been years since I've had some ice cream there, and I don't recall ever attempting their food. This does not hit close to home.

Looks like I need to find a new fajita guy.

Wasn't the family green lighting a Prince hologram even though he was on record as saying he didn't want that? Seems like they are pursuing every possible avenue to make a buck.

Reviews are too good for this game to just suck. I will probably download this weekend. I too am curious about the skill progression and mods are. I like mine simplified more so than constant tinkering. One thing I didn't like about Zero Dawn was the constant tinkering with weapon mods based on the machine. Do you get a lot of that in God of War?

Don't own a gun or a Yeti product. I am going to continue as is.

If you are talking about the F-150 3.5 I have that engine as well and I get good, not great mileage. On the highway I get about 22.5 mpg, but it gets a bit better on the flats, here it's mountainous. I have a friend with the 2.7 and he said he gets about 25-26 mpg on the highway. Which is pretty good.
The ecoboost seem to be really volatile in their mpg. I have the 2.7 and no way I am seeing 25-26 unless it's 55mph. Not that I have any regrets but to me you have to take the mpg reports with an even bigger grain of salt than usual.

It baffles me how a team like Florida can be so bad at offense. With how much talent is in Florida high schools. This isn't some rinky dink school in Florida. They used to be great on offense. And ever since 2009, they've been crap.
I'm racking my brains trying to find another example of this happening, but I am drawing blanks.

No I just figured I was tuned out if it was ever explained. Not trying to dissect any further than how you would explain it to a 10 year old.

What is the free internet they are working on? Is it a means of providing internet access to everyone bypassing ISPs and such, or is it a whole new unregulated free system?

Not paying Federal Income Taxes

Don't they have to pay quarterly estimated regardless? I thought you can't just zero out your withholding and write a big check come April and you get penalized for not paying as you go.
