Filling tires - user error or different bit?

I'm trying to fill up the tires on my recently arrived bonnell 775 MX and the stem is not fitting in the portable battery powered tire filler I have, nor is it fitting in the provided pump.

I'm not familiar with this design... It looks similar to the car tire stems but gets narrower towards the end and has a metal bit that can be unscrewed to remove the pressure.

I've tried using different bits I've had and I've tried looking at 3 different setup videos but none of them really made a deal out of filling the tires.

What am I doing wrong or missing here?

What's the hype?

So I went exactly once like a decade ago and the main thing I remember is the huge bathroom stalls lol. Besides that, I remember you could order hot food. Also everything there was big and spacious ... but I don't know if that is Buccees or if it's more so because it was in Texas?

So what's the hype about the place over other gas stations? We have speedway and Kwik Trip which offer similar things on a basic level at least... So what am I missing? We won't get a local location until next year sometime....

What would your commute max distance limit be?

I have had all kinds of car trouble, so I am looking at alternate means of transportation. Thing is, my commute would be maybe a 33 mile commute each way.

I have a pretty good ebike and a spare battery so I think I could make it work, but I guess I'm just questioning how much the wear and tear on the tires and other consumables besides the batteries will be... Like, am I actually going to be able to save and set aside some money for a while if I do this?

A quick google search says bike tires could last 1000-3000 miles each, and some on the higher end or even maybe exceeding that depending on quality.

Busses/train aren't really viable. I mean, I could use the bike as a bridge to a train and am considering doing that, but it is not the line I need to be and would still take me like 2 hours+ each way.

Uber/lyft isn't viable as it would cost $100 each way.

Thoughts? I know it's not ideal but if I could do it in these warmer months for a while it'd help me save up for a car

Gspace gtr mars- tire change?

I have a GTR Mars and I think the front tire has some kind of fast flat because I topped it up just last night and it was already empty this afternoon.... It threw me off because the tires are so big that I don't think you can easily tell just by looking if the tire level is low.

Anyway, I tried spraying it with soapy water and I'm not easily seeing bubbles to indicate where the leak is. This is probably a dumb question but what do I do from here and how do I find a compatible replacement tire?

I googled replacement tires and if what I saw is correct, it's like $100 a tire from gspace which is fine in itself but I was kinda hoping I could find a compatible thing locally, but dont know if local bike stores typically stock that or what.

Am I missing anything?

[Spoiler] about Rhyno...

Since he is one of the heroes, if he actually dies, the goddess will bring "him" back, not the original, right...? Because the goddess probably only remembers this version

775 MX: Measurements for custom battery?

I'm looking into getting a larger capacity custom battery from Amorge but I don't have the bike yet, so I can't provide the measurements they're asking for...

Has anyone done this yet? Or would anyone know what the measurements are for the inner frame?

[spoiler] Question about the last episode

Anime only here. So in the last episode, Kivia was told she can live but first has to die and be dismembered then brought back. Do we know why she has to die?

At first I wondered if they were trying to smuggle her out, but even if that works, it wouldn't work long because people would hear about her exploits as a hero.

Maybe it's a term of activation for that goddess's ability? I just don't remember Xylo or other heroes dying... So again, do we know why Kivia had to die?
