It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It takes 27 seconds to cut a ulock with a battery powered angle grinder. https://youtu.be/hjYXD9pyupg
That being said, I do use a ulock and cables when I lock up my bike. It stops opportunistic thieves, but not determined thieves.
uLock New York lock and an air tag hidden under the seat or somewhere else sneaky. Take photos of your bike and serial number. Register it with your renters insurance or homeowners insurance. Park it in public, visible spaces. Go ride your bike! People will steal anything if they really want. All you can do is deter them
Yeah, worry about stuff getting stolen as a reason to not use that stuff is futile. It's only take 3 minute to steal a toyota hilux for determined thieves, if they want your bike so bad, they can break into your garage for it, or hijack it while you riding.
It's all about making it more difficult to steal, not impossible.
Also, with a quality ulock (think ABUS, Hiplock, or even a Skunklock Chemical) it will break multiple cutting wheels before they're able to get through (if they're able to get through lol).
It doesn't need to be unstealable, it just needs to be a pain in the ass to steal, so they will move on to an easier target.
Ohh yes, definitely. Not leaving your bike unattended, even in the best of city, is the basic rule of owning a bike.
I'd like to see someone try this with a Skunklock Chemical lol
