Can you buy silver or gold on ebay? Is that a grey area? Otherwise fuel a hobby or side hustle

I recommend the boflex c6 or the Schwinn ic4, which are the same bike.

Maybe you should not go above Tiagra/105 level for road components since this is the point where reliability might get sacrificed for performance and weight reduction. The same probably applies for mtb.
You do not need shock absorbers unless you have health issues or plan to regularly ride on bumpy roads. They cost weight and money. Also carbon fork and seatpost can reduce vibration, but I have no idea about their BIFL properties.

I have the same one, just keep it clean, and replace the flavorizer bars and grates when needed!

Looking at your other comments, a telescope could definitely be something that gathers dust. The trick is to find one that's easy enough to use so that you'll use it, but also powerful enough to keep you interested. You might want to look at finding a local astronomy club first. That is a fantastic way to start, and mentor can really jump start your knowledge, and increase the excitement around it. Two telescope designs come to mind: the classic 8" Dobsonian, or a 4" Apo refractor. Neither are too bothersome for most people, and both powerful enough for many years of observing. The biggest point you need to know: nebulae and galaxies will NOT look like they do in pictures. The book "Turn Left at Orion" had great illustrations of what you'll see. Planets and the moon are a bit closer to pictures, and can be very exciting, but there 1000s of other things to see in the night sky, especially from dark sky sites.

Yea man, I literally did. You know people don’t live in a vacuum under these so called perfect conditions right? There’s a multitude of factors why the oil heater is cheaper to run for me but you’re free to choose whatever works best for you personally.
EDIT: Less kilowatt hours used = lower electric bill. Nobody is arguing thermodynamics lol.

No, online shipping and shopping is complicated where I live you have to contact a bunch shipping companies and get it to Guatemala it's super expensive.
I'll just be going there to visit family and buy some pair bringing them back in my suitcase that's it, that's how we do it in Latin America to send out family members clothing.

Maybe check out r/Metalfoundry and think about doing your own pours instead of the more common work with clay.
1500 should get you just about everything you need to start.

I have bought one pair of shoes from TH, and they weren't even buy-it-for-a-week. It was really sad. They were plaid and also on clearance.

I have a rowing machine and it’s great exercise machine. I also have a Bowflex adjustable dumbbells, a weight bench w dumbbells, theragun and a Bowflex bike. But what I really love is the morning yoga. It really helps keep the body limber and ache free. So maybe do a yoga room.

Agree. Is there more wear on a certain part of the shoe? Things like posture could have an impact.

I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me or contradicting me.
If you agree, ignore this, if not, here’s the explanation:
Electric heaters are the only things that are 100% efficient. All other devices lose energy by putting off heat. A motor turns but coils heat up for example so that’s wasted energy. A heaters purpose is to convert electric energy to thermal energy. There’s no other form of energy that it puts off as waste.
