I was really hoping the trail cam picture was real. It is not :(

I heard that wolves will draw pet dogs away from their homes to isolate them and hunt them. If that’s true, then I don’t think that we want this picture to be real.
Maybe they just want Taco Bell?
Accurate.
Yeah, we’ve got a Chihuahua and for his sake I wanted it to be real, but there’s about zero chance wolves would put up with one.
They’ll not only tolerate them, but they and coyotes will also actively seek out small dogs and invite them to dinner back at their place.
Hey, at least you’re actually there and not sitting on the couch eating chips and posting memes. Oh wait…
I mean…you say that like we can afford chips…or a couch…or memes.
Yeah, mister moneybags over there with a fancy roof over his head is probably too good to use Lemmy from a library computer.
Doritos are underappreciated in terms of post ride nutrition…
Empty calories are still calories
I’ve learned anything involving animals doing unusual things through night vision video or image is AI slop, aimed at a Facebook trend surging in 2024-2025, possibly still going.
Usually it’s something stupid like kangaroos or rabbits on a trampoline, a racoon riding on a dog’s back, or a bear and cat snuggling.
Me on my $30 mountain bike from the bike co-op. Miss that thing. It was a beast. They’d already fixed her up and it was the perfect bike to learn to really ride D.C. bike trails on. Rock solid.
Ride until you break stuff, then upgrade what broke or what’s limiting you. Logical increments is a great way to live imo.
I don’t recommend this with brakes ironically enough
Slop
No one likes MAMILs (Middle-aged man in lycra).
its cool that you saw a coyote pack and they didn’t attak you
Cheap bikes are great, ignore the elitist pricks that think you actually need to spend £2k on a bike.
That is a cheap bike if you’re going mountain biking.
Honestly, $5kNZD (~£2k) will get you a really nice bike that should take you to very enthusiastic amateur; if you are doing significant jumps/drops than you will know what you need and spend accordingly.
A $5k bike is not extreme by any stretch; and the NZ tax also hits. I have seen $14k (~£6k) in my local bike shop, non-electric mtb.
Note: I mountain bike regularly and my bike cost me $5kNZD 12 years ago…I mainly ride grade 2/3 tracks these days with the occasional grade 4. Not an authority on mountain biking, but I have a bit of experience in bike costs and what you get for your money.
Jesus, is the NZD really that weak right now?
2.33:1
5k is what I’d consider a midrange bike, in that case. That would get you a very decent full suspension bike, but without getting into things like carbon frames etc.
You could easily spend twice that.
I love how you respond to a guy going “people are pricks about bike pricing” with an “ackshulaly $2k is cheap”.
Zero self-awareness. Zero social skills.
I’m just laughing about what people think the sport costs, vs what it actually does.
A truly top of the line bike is over 20k NZD.
