I don't think it is irrelevant though. in a car that can and does control your throttle without your input, and is famously poorly built with tons of software issues, built by a company whose head is a famous conman, you can't assume that this is driver error, even if it is a semi-common driver error.

I was in the same boat as you. Never ridden a motorcycle, but very comfortable on my mountain bike.

Turns out they are not even in the same ballpark.

Have you ever driven a manual car? That would help far more than riding a mountain bike.

My recommendation is to do the course with their bikes. It'll likely be a small 125cc, but it's perfect for learning on. The difference between what you'll learn on, and what you buy really isn't much. You'll come away with either wanting to continue on a bike, or not. Do this before spending thousands on a motorcycle. It's a no-brainer.

If you like it, go ahead and buy yourself a bike. Like I said, it's gonna feel very similar to the bike you learned on unless you buy a very heavy bike (don't do this to start).

The smart decision is to buy secondhand for your first bike, so if (when) you drop it, it's not a big deal. You also don't want anything too powerful. I got a Yamaha R3, and it's fast enough to get started on. Certainly faster then most vehicles on the road.

In summary, do the course first. A 400 is more then enough for your first bike, and your mountain bike experience doesn't really count for anything unfortunately.

Buy a used bike, have it serviced immediately for that piece of mind.

Did Elon tell you this? And you believed him?

Look at the even greater variety of non-baseball fans. There is nothing inherent in your wiring that would support you liking baseball

Boring is subjective. You're framing this like things can be objectively boring, and that sport isn't one of them.

What some people find boring, others don't. I find most sports boring and that's ok

I replied to another user about this, but aside from Bluetooth being a privacy nightmare, there's also the limited lifespan, the bad quality dacs, the lithium batteries and increased e-waste. Not to mention the expense. For $500 you can get genuinely very good wired headphones that will last the rest of your life. For the same price you can get mediocre wireless headphones that will eventually fail to hold a charge and become useless in X years

Foggenbooty pretty much nailed it.

Poor repairability, but also, why would I use 2 cheap dacs (1 in each earbuds), when I would use wired earphones and have 1 good dac. And the fact lithium needs to be mined for 2 batteries is super problematic considering the conditions lithium miners face.

Of course then there's the issue that everything with a battery has a limited lifespan. Those batteries will die one day and render your wireless earphones useless. My headphones will last for the rest of my life, meaning less e-waste is generated.

BT being active is a privacy nightmare, and the ones that require apps is also a privacy nightmare.

But then also they are just inferior to wired headphones in every way. So yeah, I'm not gonna buy an objectively worse product for way more money than their wired counterparts, that also exploits lithium miners and our planet and is also a privacy nightmare.

There's still a lot of payphones in my country. They're free now and no longer accept money and they also provide free wifi. Recently I've been seeing signs on them that kids can call Santa

I keep forgetting he's the lead in this and every time I'm reminded I get disappointed all over again.

The original video about this is from Benn Jordan, and like all his videos, it's incredible.

All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.
