How were the rides?

Bringing this back up since I need advice from the resident Jew @DaveK. My first Za'Atar was flowery, with a lot of different flavors. I don't recall the brand/source. Since then, two others I bought are overly pungent and earthy. There's an earth/dirt flavor that covers everything, for me. I've seen that every country/region has variations of it. How the fuck do I figure this out? Buy ten?

TL;DR: He got my permission to share all my info for patients who can't afford Zepbound/Mounjaro/etc. I was in there for 50 minutes, half of it wandered into gray market tirzepatide, which I had put on my intake paperwork of course. He wanted to know more. He's very personally concerned about the people who have been fucked by the price and the reductions in insurance coverage. El Cheeto Loco had promised new prices, but according to him, they never happened (SHOCKER!!!). He said normal mainstream prices for most patients is still "well over" $500/mo. Some really super interesting tidbits: He didn't know what "lyophilized" means. It's interesting how compartmentalized medical knowledge is. (It means vacuum dehydrated inside a vial.) He'd never heard of bacteriostatic water. He thought you'd use sterile water (not good). He didn't know how easily you can bypass CBP, tariffs, whatever to get it despite the billions that Eli Lilly is wasting to try to stop us. Hopefully we can help a bunch of people who otherwise can't afford it. I was shocked at his openness to this, his willingness to say what he didn't know and what I did, and to ask a lot of great questions.

That sounds illegal and dangerous. It's interesting bouncing back and forth between a bike with Bosch's latest traction/ABS/attitude control and this. Big difference in the launch behavior of the front tire. And shifting (of course, non of that on the Zero, but now with the XX sprocket being a tooth down, third gear quick shifts lift the front without trying).

My solution for the roll-away problem... Also, after many hours of usage, still 100% satisfied and recommend it. Now to convert the old shitty chair into a rolling tool/parts holder. I'll probably just cut a plywood circle as a top, maybe with a magnetic sheet to keep things stable/in place.

I'm now motivated to just replace the Smart battery BEFORE it fucks me over. It's...I can't count now, but very old.

It came with a lead-acid that has been "bad" for a year or two now. I did a second restoration run and it seems to be holding on, it won't get another one. As a Jewban I can't force-kill something that is kinda working to crank that 0.89 liter bottle of horsepower fury. I also have not ever seen a cell rated for the same out as in. My hobby LFPs are ridiculously different. Something in the order of 10-15C discharge and 1-4C charge.
