I guess we can only hope that the leopards absolutely massacre those who gave him this power. Democracy will fall all over the world because of this, and his groupies won’t have a pot to piss in once his “concepts” are put into action.

I’ve been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.
Yeah, the metric used (energy output) is a strange way to decide if e-bikes are “worth it” compared to an analogue bike.
Some people will never touch a regular bike, for one reason or another. But they’ll happily get on their e-bike at any chance they get.
If an e-bike motivates someone to not drive, or to be more active, or to explore their community, or to improve their mental health… or all of the above… then, hell yeah, it’s worth it!
You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/
You’ll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.
edit: holy hell. Grammar.
It doesn’t matter what he says.
It really doesn’t. Just watch a rally, in full, and try to summarise one topic he addressed. Just one.
You can’t, because he babbles incoherently. He knows nothing about any of the topics that he stumbles into.
The only time his words can be understood, provided he doesn’t go off script, is when he’s reading what someone else wrote for him!
Capitalism perverts all things in time.
I wish we had more options for repairable, reusable, rebuildable, sustainable products.
Companies can still make money if they are selling quality goods… people die and are born every day, so it’s not like they would run out of customers.
The problem is that there are too many incentives for making products disposable, and not enough to make them future proof.
That’s pretty frustrating… that these are made to be disposable, but the majority of the components (apparently, good quality components!) aren’t even reclaimed.
Why aren’t these sold with a $200 deposit, so the user MUST return them or be SOL?
I’m surprised that vape batteries allow for such a high amperage draw. I know that with flashlights, you absolutely need high AMP batteries to avoid trouble.
It’s nice to see that he did the research to find the draw for those cells, and checked the cell health for each. Very cool.
That’s a seated e-scooter.
Are we talking about actual motorcycles or something else?
Where I live (ontario, Canada), the Swagtron you mentioned wouldn’t even be allowed to be used legally.
But the definition of motorcycle here is quite expansive, depending on the speed it goes, whether it has two or three wheels, the weight, motor size, etc. They all require special licencing, including “low-speed motorcycles” and mopeds.
Just off the top of my head:
I can come up with dozens of reasons why an e-bike would be better (more practical) than a motorcycle, for pretty much anyone.
I’m not against motorcycles, but they are basically cars with two wheels and far less utility.
The number one thing that most of these don’t do well for me is the connection with banks.
A bit of an anecdote, but i was a long-time user of Mint, which integrated with all my banks and credit cards, which was nice.
When I decided to selfhost, I was disappointed that bank syncing wasn’t a thing, or it had these roundabout ways of working, or they simply didn’t support the banks and credit cards i use.
So… I ended up wity Money Manager EX.
Once i did the initial importing of my records, everything since has been manually entered.
Now, this might seem tedious depending on how many transactions and accounts you manage, but it’s really not.
Depending on how often you update your records, you can do an easy export/import of your transactions from your bank (usually a csv export). Doing this once a month isn’t terrible.
I just manually enter all my transactions. Yes, more work, but also less frustration and it makes me feel more in touch with my spending.
Even not having to worry about the hassle of syncing not working, or having to fix things like that is a huge weight off my shoulders.
Anyway, just wanted to share my experience because bank syncing shouldn’t be a make-or-break thing.
Motorcycles would be a step backwards in almost every aspect, except for speed. 😕
Yes, a front and rear light are on my bike (pretty much all year).
But I LOVE the reflective sidewalls on Schwalbe tires! You just have to be sure to give them a good cleaning once in a while, especially during dirty winters.
Rich coming from the party of voter suppression…
You know, the way this was framed is such a great study on consumer behaviour.
A few hundred dollars off an ebike isn’t significant. For a cargo bike, it’s peanuts.
Yet people snatched up vouchers and purchased way more bikes then anticipated, and those bike shops had a boom in sales.
I’m willing to bet that if these bike shops offered the same amount off, but promoted it as a sale, they’d get a fraction of the sales.
Cities should so more of these campaigns. Even if it’s the shops offering the discount, have the city frame it as a voucher and see the adoption of ebikes skyrocket everywhere!
Just wait until everyone is forced to wear screens on their faces 24/7, because that’s the way tech companies want us to live. I’m not being sarcastic, either.
There’s a reason why so many people consciously choose to “disconnect” when they want a mental break. If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?
but that’s more about the pressure from the clamp, not the weight of the bike.
That’s what I’ve always assumed.
In that case, I like the idea… now I need a multi-million dollar mansion with 20ft tall ceilings to make it happen! LOL
Friend, around here any road marked 40 km/h or more is treated as a 100 km/h road 😂
Is it wise to store your bike with its entire weight pulling on the top tube like that?
Harris only had months of campaigning, while Trump had over a year. That alone put her at a massive disadvantage, since much of the vote is often decided (in people’s minds) well before the elections.
But the reality is, as long as 50%+ are OK being in a cult run by an incoherent madman, they’ll ignore the self-harm and keep voting the same way.
