Wait, you only paid two euros for a whole week? That's wild, I thought there'd be a daily charge or something. @blakecampbell is right about docks being a problem, but for that price I'd just walk the bike to the next one. Free beats a stuffy tour bus any day.

My cousin in Phoenix said they had to lock the banana code at her Walmart because of this. It's just stealing.

Cheap parts can still do the job well, lol.

Yeah that's a total bummer, @the_logan. I had that happen once and it RUINED my coffee. I started putting a regular plate under mine for extra insulation. It acts like a heat shield so the counter doesn't get too hot. Now my stuff stays warm without that gross melted plastic taste. Total game changer for a cheap fix.

Honestly, that bit about it just being insecurity really hit home. I read this article a while back about how gatekeeping comes from a weird fear that your own fandom gets watered down if it gets popular. Tbh, it's such a pointless way to think. Now I just get excited when someone shows interest, because it means we can actually talk about the thing we both like instead of me just testing them.
