Bike shops charging ,$1000. to 1200 for a major bike service @ $ 187 an hour labour then telling client it's Cheaper to buy a new bike.
We no longer have a bike shop in town ,so thinking we will do bike repairs because mostly it is quite simple, mostly it is the drive train ,specific parts will take a while to get.

That is astounding! It also shows they read & enacted chapter 7 of "How to go completely broke and close your business in 3 easy steps". What a stinker of a shop.

...I'll bet they are paying the minimum of wages to the peeps doing that service too.

The decline of the LBS has been happening over a long period. The hourly rate is pretty ambitious but those bills won't pay themselves I guess.
Feeds into the notion that we are consumers. If something breaks don't fix it...throw it in the bin and buy a new one.
Finding a decent bike mechanic is a challenge. I have a mate who's running his own repair shop and he's flat out, and also can't find anyone to work for him.
I don't watch commercial television, I don't really watch any TV series or movies. I just don't feel like it. Little thing I hate is I can tell I'm being judged in some social circles for not having watched X, or Y. I don't care...but apparently I'm meant to?

Just do what I do and assume you're morally and intellectually superior. 99% of the time you will be right.
Also work harder on your 'fuck off' face. It helps to avoid those kinds of conversations in the first place.

If the service includes bearing replacement and suspension service (fork and shock), the duration is about correct.

think i've got a long recovery on this one.
i pulled a bunch of muscles in my rhomboid/rear delt area basically nearly my whole shoulder.
been like this for 3 weeks now and although it has gotten a lot better it still has its days where its pretty bad.
if it isn't considerably better by next week i'll get it checked at the dr's.

You are not alone in this.
I watch some commercial TV, but not the shit that 98% of people watch and yes people look at you weird because you don't watch that tripe

Paid streaming services playing ads.
Fuck off amazon. I’m not paying for this account but still EAD and let me watch stuff in peace.
LTIL, the girly cleans when she’s mad, and works in advertising. Every time I kick off a good rant about it she gets shitty cause it pays her bills and BAM! Clean apartment.

A love a good series on TV but now you have to wade through piles of junk on paid streaming services to unearth the good ones. And the reviews are of zero relevance to me as most people who hoard their time bothering to review a TV show are surely on the pipe.
Sport is my jam though. Many years ago my wife was watching some reality junk on commercial TV, I think it was a Bachelor or Bachelorette thing? It seemed to run for a few weeks at a time and fuck was it junk. She passed a comment about how shit the episode was etc etc, I politely said she should skip the next episode and do something more entertaining like vacuum the front garden
It was less than a week after that that I had removed the free to air TV aerial cable from service to ensure we would not ever watch that fucking crap ever again.

We got our aerial disconnected around 8 years ago when we got a shade sail erected. Never replaced it and I don't miss free to air at all. SBS is a streaming app so some good stuff on there.

We haven't had a tv for about 4 years. Watch the ABC news and iView on tablets along with SBS and Netflix. Probably don't even watch Netflix enough these days

I will ask the exact details.
I suspect it was chain, cassette, chainrings ,maybe bottom bracket and brake pads ,tweak and lube rear derailleur cable.

On another note we only watch sbs and abc selectively.
Enshitification of free to air has been for years.
Netflix is 99% american and there is lots of dumb stuff there needs to be "suspension of disbelief" to enjoy it and I am bad at that.
However usually good sets and nicely filmed.
Sbs on demand is usually much better.

Same. Have a really nice Panasonic plasma tv that’s still in the store room fro when we last moved house… It’s a very nice TV, but iPads and Netflix just easier and not having a giant screen dominating the lounge room makes it a much nicer space.
