Hmm that might indeed be the cheapest option. Destroy the back wheel. New back wheel, about 80 euros.

EDIT: The lock would still need to be cut though to fit a new wheel, so, erm, no. Won't work. (The lock is attached to the frame and makes a ring through the back wheel.)

[Rolan7]

...  You only locked the back wheel, not the frame!?

I don't know about Dutch locks, but if it's a U-lock, I've heard that a simple car jack can break it.  Mechanical advantage.  It can lift a car, it can probably break a simple lock.

Or pick it (or have someone else pick it)

If you only locked the real wheel, I don't suppose you only wrapped it among the spokes and not the rim?  A spoke wrench isn't that expensive.

And if it isn't a U-lock...  it's cuttable.

I *absolutely loathe* advertisements. Like, they actually piss me off just seeing them. I don't need that stress in my life, so I block them on everything. A couple pennies or whatever that someone would get from ad'ing at me is *not worth* my blood pressure going "fuck you" every day.

'Course, now YouTube ads are back after a couple years. Not just any, nooo. 5+ minute unskippable ones!

Fuck.

[George_Chickens]

Could you melt the lock with a small amount of thermite? I mean, you were just planning to buy a new one, so whatever goes wrong can't be too bad.

Try something like shoving the video url into something like MPC-BE, or one of the other more updated media player classic forks. Few other players do it, too. Least so far it seems to be ad free.

Nice side effect, sorta', to youtube finally disabling flash entirely and HTML5 video players being a massive enough pile of shit it got me to figure out how to play vids to an actual media player.

Wheeeeee! Cleaning squad found my bicycle key in the pub I was at. Must have slipped under something, cause I did search the dancefloor quite extensively yesterday.

martinuzz owned that dancefloor like a boss!

So you're telling me you don't want to make an incendiary device in your living room to try and melt through ten ounces of carbon steel to get your bike back?

[sprinkled chariot]

This is such gloriously insane and dangerous way of doing something, it is totally bay12ish way to go( It is like trying to cut something with magma)

Sleep schedule is totally fucked once again.
A lot of people don't seem to understand why I feel that healthy sleep is so important... I'm probably the weird one here, without enough sleep it's as though I lack the energy to fool myself into thinking my life isn't entirely terrible.
Sleep probably isn't as vital to those who have a higher base level of happiness.

Edit: see, I couldn't even muster up the energy to make an amusing comment about the whole bike lock situation. Surely that's the sort of thing I would usually find humour in. I don't know.

[IcyTea31]

Biggest news topics today in Finland: Mass shooting in Las Vegas, clusterfuck referendum in Catalonia and plans to equip Finnish firemen and paramedics with bullet-resistant gear. Why must violence today's zeitgeist?

[Frumple]

'Cause that's the news that gets the most attention. For the vast majority of the human population, often enough even those in fairly rough areas, yesterday was by and large peaceful. "Day was normal for over six billion people" doesn't make much of a headline.

Nah bro there's a reason they say sleep is the basis for basically every kind of health.

On that note, I've been waking up really early for a month and a half now and I have no explanation why. It actually started before I moved to my dorm, on the same day I had my first day of work (which actually was really convenient for that day, and that day alone).

It's slowly exhausting me, I think. If it wasn't for my medicine I don't know how I'd go on.
