every ebike can be unlocked with relative ease. theres nothing any law can do to stop that from happening unless they ban imports of everything below 250 watts and even then people will still be able to modify the bikes. they even tried it with CANbus, but at the end of the day its a motor, a controller, a throttle or pedal assist, and a battery. you simply cannot stop anyone from modding even completely subpar or top tier bikes from going over the limit. which is limited by the batteries power, and motor/controllers ability to hold a charge. to even try doing so would require powers that reach way into other markets. caps on capacitors, batteries, PCB board controls, motors, etc.
this isnt about bikes. its about brown people and visible minorities riding them en mass and europeans wanting to bring the hammer down on them so they are forced to buy cars, use public transit,become more susceptible to random checks by police, and/or be kicked out of the country for breaking a new law. as well as finding a new way to limit or regulate other related electronics markets, and milk them for more money.
its amsterdam for pity's sake. quite literally one of the most racist/xenophobic places in europe, despite the fine architecture, rich history and culture. of course they are going to want a way to stop check people using a slower mode of transport that circumvents traditional charges for transportation. its happening all over europe as well.
its rediculous and everyone who disagrees is either chronically online, completely unaware of anything deeper than a scary headline that dictates their beliefs for them. knows nothing about electronics, bikes, ebikes, general safety, race relations, or DOES know these things, but underneath it all supports it because they are also bigoted and/or drive a car/take public transit and dont like cycling of any kind if others are doing it and it even remotely inconveniences them.
they will start with banning a visibly common iteration of cheap ebikes, but at the end of the day, unless they ban every form of it, and install checkpoints to ensure that nobody has them. theres simply no other way to get rid of them. and to do that would be fuhuckin stupid.
we can all lie to another and say its not due to xenophobia, racism, or general support for luxuries such as cars and public transit, and the taxation and fees that come with them, and i dare say a police state. but at the end of the day this is just another way for governments and corporations to use fear to impliment more control over emerging technologies and markets. especially on human mobility.
its a damn bike, and its a shit tier one that goes slower than most entry level ebikes unless you swap the controller and battery. and you, again, can do that with literally any and every ebike. its actually a stupidly simple process in most cases.
in a world where we can drive a death wagon at 150+ kmph that virtually guarantees death or significant injury for passengers and anyone it comes into contact with. which also drastically pollutes the environement in comparison, we should limiting cars not dinky ebikes from temu that poor people and immigrants prefer to ride. if anything we should be pushing more people into riding bikes of all types.
its a dumb idea. and anyone who disagrees is at the very least grossly misinformed on the wider issues, i dont blame them, just the media thats controlled by people who like to control people.
no offense. im not writing this in anger to you, or anyone in particular, its purely based on my experience as a person who had made a point of riding bikes in spite of owning vehicles, simply because of the glaringly obvious issues that are caused by cars, and that are answered by bikes/ebikes.
downvote away y'all, i know its controvercial, but the ones who get it are the ones im talkin' to. everyone else can either take the time to understand it, or kick rocks.
fuck cars, fuck the government, fuck the system. and fuck climate change.
most ebikes already go slower, or on par at max speed with an amateur/relatively fit cyclist. roughly 25 to 30kmph.
going after fat tire bikes specifically doesnt really make sense considering they offer more traction for stopping power. if they legally limit the speed it should be on par with elite level cyclists at most. which is about 50 to 60kmph. depending on the area. nobody wants to wipe out and hurt themselves or somebody else.
this is a way for them to add tickets and licensing for people who wish to circumvent owning a vehicle or taking public transit. which the government and corporations directly benefit from financially.
i just dont see the point besides fear mongering in a place where virtuallly everyone has a bike, and cycling accidents are less lethal than vehicular ones. it just seems like an unfair represention of statistics to prop up a bottom line that only serves to extract wealth from the poor, less well off, environementally or financially concious.
if parents dont want their kids to take those risks, then dont buy them an ebike. buy them a regular one, or tell them to take public tranist if they cant offer it themselves.
they always use children as a way to shoe in control with fear tactics.
as an bike/ebike rider. i have a bike that can go about 45kmph and never go over 25 personally, as that feels like a safe speed in my city with the infrastructure and crossings that we have. every incident that has happened to me has come from vehicles doing illegal turns, crossings, or not looking where traffic is coming from before pulling out into the street.
if anything they should focus on getting more people to ride bikes/ebikes, and offering safety courses for those who wish to own ebikes. free of charge.
if they want to regulate them, regulate braking power vs speed potential. and helmets. and create separated concrete barrier bike lanes with covers for weather and wind to avoid ice buildup and snow. fat tire bikes are nearly a necessity for cyclists in colder climate.
having a small nuclear powered data center/bunker with bleeding edge tech bellow the white house could allow for quite a bit of fascistic fuckery.
just a few scifi ideas that are based off of game theory, anecdotal pattern recognition of current known facts, fictional happenings, history, and human instinct.
trump is going to die soon(ish). his health is ailing, however his image is just too important to his followers. and so if he dies it would be nice to have a "backup copy" that they can wheel out every now and again. kind of like what the enclave did in fallout 3. that would not be its only function, but it would likely be used to identify and sort a laundry list of enemies and allies, manipulate markets, minds, and control AI powered machines of war, long after many or most loyalists defect to the other side once they realize they are cooked with the rest of us. or die.
it would also be nice in case of an attack or sabotage to have a "fool proof" back up AI command center to keep what control it can. and provide information and recommendations for continued control after the adminstration members die, defect. etc.
the issue with AI for most people is that you hand off your information to a third party and have to remain within their guidelines of usage. this cuts out that middle man and allows usage on the adminstrations terms, without the possibility of leaks or tampering with outcomes.
if we wanted to get super scifi we could also assume its some kind of "immortality" machine for trump. he knows hes dying, so maybe he wants to literally copy what remains of conciousness instead of having a less colourful AI copy that bases its interpretation of his ideas on clips and articles about him, and more so a direct copy of his mind.
all i know is that they are doing human tests with neuralink on people they take from alagator auschwitz, which is about a 40 minute drive from the miami based university where some of the major testing is done. the concentration camp is missing thousands of records of its prisoners who were previously know to be kept there, but have since vanished.
the data center could be used potentially as system of control for those who have neuralink, or it could be used to copy the minds of those who have one, and uplink their memories or personalities. with one master profile dictating amongst the "nodes", which could very likely be trump.
one of the major issues the oligarchs and billionaires have besides dying in a normal human life span is maintaining control of their security detail in the event of an "apocolyptic" scenerio, in the safety of their bunkers. it could come down to "hey, you want to live in the luxury bunker and protect me and mine? well, first you gotta get chipped. youll be able to control electronics with your mind, access the entire internet at any point, know every language and fact you may ever want. however, you will never ever be able to betray me, and i can, at any point i choose, control you with my master profile"
there are some people who will take that choice as obvious. either live in relative luxury in comfort, or die with the remainder of humanity.
they wish to end the world and recreate it in their own image. and they cant handle not being there to see it through. so they will sacrifice billions for a chance to become what they view as a god like being, rather than take a chance that a real one exists and would punish them for their crimes after death. their egos wont allow them to be anything less than ever present, and seemingly omnipotent. even if there is an absence of a "god" in our universe, the infinite darkness of non existence or control of their passing memory from the anals of time, is something narcissistic pyschopaths and sociopaths take a deep opposition to. to say the least.
every human wonders if god is real, some just arent willing to risk finding out if they dont have to.
or maybe its just a really nice bunker for him to molest children in, live in luxry, and eventually shoot himself in when the revolution comes knocking. who knows.
he'll need someplace to bullshit his followers from absolute safety once the surface no longer is safe for him. he would rather die and kill others than face repercussions for the crimes hes commited. just like hitler.
almost like theres a war a brewin' between the US and Canada or somethin'.....
its not great, it would work somewhat well as a thermal buffer, but everything that makes it plasma would be a detriment to a closed system like this. corrosion, rot, gunk clogging the loop. not the best, and by the time you processed the plasma to be somewhat below onpar with other options, it would already be too expensive.
why do all the fascists in the world look like a cartoonists rendition of a piece of shit pretending to be human?
we spent a lot of money to figure out that this water, do be wet
hes obviously the best option we can realistically hope for in our current social/political structure. HOWEVER. hes a politician, and a very wealthy banker. so dont miss the mountain for the trees here.
quietly pushing digital ID, AI, increased surveillance, decreased personal privacy, subverting charter rights and constitutional rights, giving our information without warrant to the police, our government, and the united states government and corporations, using tax payer funding to pay for private interest projects that directly undermine green energy and expand american, and other foreign financial interest in our countries resources. removing canadians ability to defend themselves against an apparantly imminent foreign invasion by reducing firearm availability and punishing legal gun owners as a result of an issue directly correlated to illegal firearms imported from the united states. all the while increasing police funding and military funding which also directly puts tax payer money into the pockets of military contractors, foreign and domestic. limiting the ability to defend our sovereignity to government employees rather than average citizens.
he gives a great speech, he is much better than pierre poilievre, however, he does not represent 99% of canadians, he represents the rich, industry, and established/emerging monopolies above all else. the new world order he speaks of is one where we will continue to struggle financially as workers so that corporations and the elite can maintain stable control over a productive yet exhausted population. snowballing the concentration of wealth and power to the elite, and new emerging elite class. while reducing ownership for consumers in virtually every single sector you can imagine. fuelling our economy with an indebted population.
the new boot on our heads is just a bit more polished and expensive, but it is still a boot on our heads. and its going to be a bit heavier than it was before. but with the right marketing, we will always beg for more, thinking its for our own good.
so unless you are already quite well off, dont expect a grand shift in your fortunes and affordability. not just because of him, or trump, or a new economic model, but the class that they both represent. the elites are shifting the board, and the people, as always, will bear the brunt of it all. while they make off like faceless bandits, and we infight against one another, fearful of immigrants, foreign powers, differing ideologies, and general security.
politicians are merely puppets, scape goats, hitmen, and sin eaters for the wealthy and poor alike. hired to take the guilt, shame, glory, and responsibility of our wanted desires so that we do not have to. when it goes good or bad we claim proudly or sheepishly who we voted for, and blame each other for the outcomes, regardless of how good or bad they may actually be, instead of directly addressing the faceless manipulators who guided and uplifted every single head of state in the modern world, for their benefit.
that is the beauty of being an elite, all the riches and glory, and no repercussions. the social backlash is for the political lackies.
when any head of state speaks, pretend they are only speaking to the wealthy. because they are.
"its a big club, and you aint in it"
good. i hope he turns purple, and shits on the carpet before dying from embarassment.
You can’t fight the wildfire that will claim your hunting grounds with a fucking gun, genius.
correct. but we can dissuade the people who hold the match from lighting it.
fascism doesnt bow to democracy, authoritarians dont fear pies to the face, oligarchs dont care about your hunger strike. and monopolies dont give a fuck about a grass roots start up trying to save the environement, making them look bad in comparison. if anything they are a slight, but managable annoyance.
but every single one of those systems, individuals, all of them are scared of people with the ability to stop them from getting what they want. whether through spoken word, or physical resistance.
we live in a world where guns exist, we also live in a world where government representatives like the military, and police have guns. and so, we are at their mercy. they decide the laws, and unless we want to be shot or arrested and imprisoned, we must follow those laws. even if they ultimately lead to a postponed death through something like climate change.
i wish you could snap your fingers and make guns, and other weapons of violence and war no longer exist.
but they do, and those without them will forever be at the mercy of those who wield them.
excuse me while i butcher this quote.
"if i have a gun, and you have a gun, then we can have a conversation, if you have a gun, and i do not, then thats not a conversation, thats coercion"
guns are not integral to my beliefs, in fact i hate guns, when used as a tool for violence against human beings, but i will not be so naive as to think that uprooting an entire political system will not come without some degree of violent resistance. sooner, or later.
dreams are free, manifesting them requires sacrifice.
and id prefer they be on the altar, in our place.
order one online. have it mailed to you.
an invasion would destroy the US and cause virtually every allied nation to dump their US treasury bonds. their economy would absolutely implode and they wouldnt be able to pay for a very unpopular war with monopoly money, soldiers dont like expanding empire into ally states for free.
even if that didnt happen (which it would, as allied nations have already agreed as much) the vast size of canada, as well as the innate identity of canadians would cause an insurrection the likes that have never been seen in modern history. vietnam ×100. theres no way they could hold it in a traditional military means. not to mention the massive risk increase for domestic terrorism and full blown civil war that comes with it.
which is why they have been attempting to strong arm canada economically. they know an invasion would fail. they know an invasion would crush their economy.
if that was not the case, i would have been born an american citizen long before trump ever took office.
its a little naive if anything, hes not going to give anything back. he just takes more if anything. hes a void.
from a pure technologic standpoint this makes zero fucking sense. the latency alone, the complete lack of options for people far away from city centers. this is just a concerted effort to control the means of production, and the means of consumption. its unecessary unless you want to control the population. and milk them beyond death.
we need to beginthe violence and sabotage portion of revolution. these psychopaths dont understand anything else.
we need to begin raiding and destroying data centers. stop their construction, we need to target those responsible, and their families. we need to dismantle their ideology at its core. it is unacceptable, and the "high road" doesnt exist. its just another means of using fake morality for control.
they are going to use this technology to soldify their vision of "benevolent slavery and genocide"
we have to stop it, by any means necessary. ANY GOD DAMN MEANS NECESSARY.
start calling your friends, start radicalizing the apathetic, it is time to arm the people and take back our future. before they completely disarm us forever. we are the many. we decide our fates.
you cant stop her from plugging the butts of american soldiers. YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE.
cant have well rested workers with more time to think, question, and organise.
to the canadians in the comment section here. who are more inclined to resist. and want to start a local unofficial cell, you dont have to do all this yourself, but building a community of like minded people and organizing makes this a lot easier. people you can trust with your life
get your PAL license, ASAP. restricted PAL as well, not really valuable right now, but that doesnt mean it wont be in the future.once you have that, purchase 2 guns. a mossberg 500 pump action shotgun. its cheap, and reliable, and a few stacks of shells, slugs and buckshot. for drones and potential close quartes. get a secondary rifle of your choice, but something with cheap or readily available ammunition is ideal. smaller calibers are easier to silence, but american troops tend to wear plates. so lets hope its not all level 4. there are many ways to make a silencer if you're handy. also consider picking up a 3d printer and learning how to use it. theres limitless potential here.
if you dont like guns, and like doing some DIY, a drone license is about 10 dollars. and you can practice virtually as well. order cheap parts online, practice. (3d print parts as well if you like) never underestimate the amount of spare parts you can pull out of a cheap old paper printer. screws, gears, rods, motors, wiring. be creative with what you have.
learn "chemistry" and where to source ingredients, hardware stores and garden centers have reactant ingredients. research which ones work, and how to do it safely.
if you can afford it, thermal vision and night vision scopes or goggles, be prepaired to spend thousands on quality goggle. honestly you are pretty much dead without them, so avoid going out at night if you cant. unless you are doing a gray man activity.
also, flares/road flares. fantastic for blinding those with night vision. thermal vision is hard to get around. im sure theres a way, but i havent seen a universal choice besides hiding behind something thick and cold.
meshtastic communications, radios, these are something to consider. setting up solar powered networks now saves us dangerous networking trips after the invasion. its cheap, easy to learn. and it will save lives.
also, generators, diesel ones are great (especially older ones, diesel is easier to make than gas) but solar powered ones are also nice as well. if you make a male to male extension chord you can power your house by plugging into an outlet with the generator running.
heating. electric heaters, gas heaters, electric blankets, regular blankets, thermal wear, whatever you can get. they will cut power, and in the winter that will kill thousands of us. be prepared. winter gear is paramount.
general camping gear is also extremely valuable. tents, cooking equipment. axes, saws, etc. all great. be prepared to have your cell live in remote areas for a time. learn bushcraft. learn how to dig a trench, learn how to dig and build a proper bunker, and how to hide it.
FIRST AID. get your first aid for the love god.
learn to live off the land, hunting, fishing, gathering local flora. create trade networks.
CARDIO, WEIGHT TRAINING. dont worry about getting a six pack, in fact, pack on a few extra inches of fat. be daddy thick, learn how to make a preserve high calorie, high fat, and high protein meals. nature and the laws of thermodynamics doesnt give a fuck about aesthetics.
transportation is also key. drones also make it virtually impossible unless you are in an apc covered in a metal mesh made of old fences and power line wires.
thats a tough nut honestly, which is why its best to just hunker down and move only when its absolutely necessary. but use your imagination, try to keep it quiet when possible. remain hidden, strike only when you can guarantee that their losses will be greater than the cost of your lives.
theres like a million other things we'll need to know and share, but the best thing you can do is play to your strengths, learn to be resourceful with what you have, always try to adapt. and never lose hope. morale is the most important thing to any movement.
this is also gonna sound messed up, but we are going to have to be blood thirsty. and cruel. beyond anything you imagined doing before. we must be creative in iur cruelty. we have to make them remember why they feared us, and why that border was built in the first place. because once they cross that border. they arent humans anymore. they are nazis. fascists. they will rape, murder, and pillage as they always have, and they must be snuffed out, no matter the cost. our very way of life is at stake, and far more. we risk becoming the fuel to an engine that damns the world, far earlier than its intended expiration date. it is our duty not only as canadians, but human beings, to fight this machine at any cost. the cycle must end with us. regardless of what our government chooses to do for "the safety and well being of canadians" we the people decide our fates. and the fates of those who would harm us.
treaty law makes that very unlikely.
its almost like race, regulations, and monopolies, have a history of being ......correlated, or something?
strange. did you know that?
but its totally not like the media to give just one angle of seemingly simple situation, that couldnt POSSIBLY go any deeper, right?
competitors and monopolies certainly dont like to influence politics whatsoever by fuelling fear and discent amongst the population. that would be just down right unethical, especially if they did so to regulate certain industries bit by bit to slowly change the economic landscape.... but european countries are completely incapable of even the smallest forms of corruption in their politics. everyone knows that! doy! im so silly!
they represent the common man, every time! certainly not the elite class. no, never!
perhaps i should stop pouring over articles, and researching all these topics day after day, for hours on end.
seems like a simple existence, compeletly devoid of critical thought or a thirst for knowledge over the worlds inner machinations. just coasting on headlines and trust in the government and the system itself.
nothing negative can happen to our rights and freedoms by simply switching our brains off, can it?
its not like thats why the world is the way that it is, no sir! no relation whatsoever!
thanks, friend :D
