The recorder is not what was stopping them from teaching your finance.

No we do fractal districts. They get ever more detailed as you zoom in to them. Their border length is theoretically infinite.

Lol… OK maybe replace “can” with “should”.

Plants.

Ah, but in a world where the optimal vehicle is utilized for each trip, there isn’t much traffic :P Also they can’t haul much. Honestly I do feel like I want to embrace motos but in a system where the best vehicle for a given trip is always available I suspect they would be largely displaced by bicycles and ebikes.

Cars are actually sub-par for long distance travel. They have to stop to refuel every few hundred miles, require horrifyingly expensive highway infrastructure to travel at speed, have to manually negotiate all intersections / exchanges, and their individualized form factor multiplies the maintenance upkeep required for that sort of mileage. Trains and planes both kick their ass at distance travel in different ways.

What cars are actually superior at is medium to short distance adhoc hauling trips at medium speeds on the edges of a transportation system. Rural work and visits, last mile drop-offs, back country mobility.

Most men do cry and I think the myth that most of us don’t is almost as damaging as the other social pressures that prevented the rest of us from ever doing so. It’s not as socially acceptable for men to cry as it is for women, which is why when men do cry it’s often in private.

Get yourself a partner who loves and respects the facial hair you have [or don’t have].

complained how he almost gets run over by ebikes every day

Which is to say, he’s never been harmed by an ebike in his life. Notice how his anecdote perfectly mirrors stories from pedestrians about the number of times they’ve “almost been hit by cyclists” while meanwhile they’ve literally never been hit by a bike and are much more likely to get hit by a car. No perspective. No self-crit.

1. It’s a car grid world of 6-lane surface roads with high speed limits.
2. It’s where people on the east coast go to retire (Elderly drivers).

And Daytona Beach in particular is a NASCAR speedway town.

In the free stuff box?

Haha I don’t know enough about Parisian culture to be comfortable taking such potshots!

My account of 12 years with a nearly pristine history got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn’t what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I’m pretty sure one of the mods was an admin or knew admins because at one point in modmail they let slip an implication that they had access to Reddit’s browser fingerprinting. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit (I’d moved across the country), that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened. Reddit is just a cesspool at this point.

Come meet the most vindictive, aggravated, compulsively argumentative people you’ve ever met. On Reddit!

Literally if not for music piracy I wouldn’t have a massive vinyl library worth > $7,000, wouldn’t have gone to 100+ live shows, wouldn’t have paid $1000+ bucks for all the band merch I have, wouldn’t have evangelized countless bands to all of my friends and social network for decades. Piracy is absolutely the thing that unlocked that whole obsession for me.

You’re right, it is indeed a legal speed limit and not a physical throttle requirement, thanks for getting me to actually scrutinize it. However I still strongly disagree that this is not an attack on micromobility: A 15 MPH cap is simply not safe for NYC streets where traditional cyclists, cars, trucks, busses, etc are all traveling > 20 MPH. This bill is designed to score quick points for Adams with reactionary New Yorkers who only encounter ebikes when they’re zooming down the sidewalk at the start or end of their trips. It will be selectively enforced, just like the existing ban on riding on the sidewalk is. A far better solution would be to just actually enforce the existing ban on sidewalk riding, and not selectively.

Conservative leaders in NYC and NYPD pull shit like this all the time: Selectively / rarely enforce a sensible law -> Dum-dum voters think no such law exists because they continue to see violations -> Propose new law to “fix” the issue -> Easy votes from dum-dums -> Selectively / rarely enforce the new law -> Wash rinse repeat. Everyone loses.

It makes me livid that professional journalists still refer to preventable motor violence as “accidents”. The most charitable way to describe what happened here is a crash. The most accurate way to describe what happened here is institutionally or personally negligent manslaughter. In the year 2025 there is nothing accidental about the way that road and highway departments all over the world continue to uphold viscerally deadly environments as the normative streetscape.

It is the latter, a limit on bike power.

Right. They should just enforce it.
