  • 100mph E-scooters Are Here – But Should They Be?

    Jump

  • My jeep barely notices speed bumps even if I don't notice and slow down. Scooters will throw off your balance even at 20 mph hitting a 1/2" imperfection in concrete or asphalt. This is the worst argument I've ever heard.

  • 100 mph on the highway between the lanes like sport bike riders...

  • Bikes are a lot more stable than scooters at almost any speed, and have more flex to them, and these days often at least some sort of suspension. My kid loves his e scooter but it does 30mph and unless it's on a long, straight flat trail it's scary for me doing 30 mph. I can almost get my pedal bike to that speed, maybe even over if I really work at it down hill, and I've never even been nervous on that.

  • What is a food that you are very picky about?

  • Or ones with so much condiments, that everything slides around as you handle/bite it.

  • There's no AI databases in tibet, Yemen, Sudan etc. climate change yeah, you could make an argument there but that's a hard sell because these places were going to run out of water eventually anyways, and we didn't really know of climate change till well into the industrial revolution, and didn't fully understand the effects until recently. Hell, you could argue we still don't, but the image is getting pretty clear.

    Don't get me wrong, fuck AI and everyone involved with it, but saying that it's all AI and corporations buying water right is incredibly disingenuous, at best.

  • Yeah in many cases, but that's not the case for a lot of the world. The Middle East and North Africa especially, as well as remote mountainous areas like tibet that rely on glacier melt as their only sources.

  • This is not true. A lot of places are quickly running out of fresh water.

  • What were your parent's rules on video games?

  • I was playing mortal Kombat when I was 9-10. They didn't do due diligence, and if I thought they'd have a problem with it, I would just lie about it. I'm still playing mortal Kombat but compared to everyone else in the world, I suck ass now. Same with call of duty. From 19- 28 or so, I was awesome. Quit playing when they announced advanced warfare because it was getting too corny and the maps kept getting worse and worse for making plans, and all about chaos and random encounters. Got MW2 with my PS5 for nostalgia, and I again found that I wasn't as good as I used to be. Oh and all the stupid skins like santa running around in a warzone was fucking stupid. They should've left that to fortnight. These days I mostly play racing sims (thankfully I'm still really good at GT7) and RPGs which is funny that as I got older I wound up playing more family friendly stuff.

  • The EU is a colossus. So why is it cowering before Trump like a mouse?

  • He's more of a tic-tac-toe player.

  • That's not just horse people, snowmobilers, bicyclists, hell, I had a guy just wander into my yard through the 6 ft privacy fence because his cheapo drone crashed in my yard, maybe. Fucking metal detectorists. I keep telling them it's illegal to dig in public places in this state and every single time, they argue with me and I have to threaten to call the cops before they fuck off. I even caught one in the boulevard in front of my house. Like WTF do you expect to find there? Random bolts that fall off cars? Nobody walks there, dude. Ever.
