  • No, the other one.

  • like landlines or vhs players seemed to us.

    Us? Us??

  • Okay, here we go. All of these have two wheels. If I've missed anything, or you'd like my opinion on a specific two wheeled vehicle classification, let me know.

    Motorcycle

    • More than 15HP
    • 16" or larger wheels
    • Manual transmission or DCT automatic (not a variator with a belt)

    Moped

    • "Functional" pedals; not practical, just functional
    • Under 80cc
    • 16" or larger wheels
    • Variator/belt transmission
    • Few or no plastics
    • These came up in the late 1970s to comply with various "motor-driven cycle" legal allowances
    • You rest your feet on the pedals
    • Can be "throw your leg over" or step through
    • Generally have a max speed of 30MPH stock

    Scooter

    • Any engine size (I believe the Suzuki Burgmann 650 is the largest, could be wrong)
    • Step through, you sit on it like a toilet
    • Flat floor pan for your feet, or flat foot "floorboards" to the sides of a low center hump
    • Lots of plastics
    • Variator/belt transmission
    • Most of these have 14" maximum wheel size and comparatively fat tires

    Noped

    • Basically a moped without the pedals
    • Foot pegs
    • These came in the early to mid 1980s
    • Can have smaller wheels, but the tires are not fat like scooter tires

    Scooter cycle

    • Looks lilke a small motorcycle; clearly intends for you to think it is
    • Variator/belt transmission

    Motorized bicycle (MB)

    • Began its life as a regular pedal bicycle without power assist
    • Has an added internal combustion engine for power assist
    • ICE engine can drive the rear wheel with a second chain and sprocket, or the front or rear wheel with a pinch roller, very rarely with a pusher trailer; kits also exist to replace the bottom bracket with a freewheel sprocket that the engine drives, with power going to the wheel via the pedal chain
    • In rare cases, these were manufactured this way, generally very old ones

    E-Bike

    • Pedal bicycle with electric power assist
    • Many of these are factory made now
    • These can also be made the same way MBs are, by adding an electric motor: -- Pinch roller drive -- Hub motor drive -- Bottom bracket drive

    Minibike

    • Similar to a noped, but extremely small
    • Small wheels and fat little tires
    • May not have brakes at all, if it does, they're really bad
    • Pull start

    Dirtbike

    • A small motorcycle designed for offroad use
    • May not be street legal
    • Small ones for kids may be variator driven
  • Placeholder for when I get home and can do a mad brain dump on two wheeled vehicle nomenclature.

  • War is peace.

  • Are they saying that “western civilization” is fascist then?

  • Where’s that Larry David gif?

  • As I recall, the plan that passed contains "it only happens if Texas does it" and "it's temporary".

  • Excellent reyiew.

  • PIC

    Jump
  • Fucking campers.

  • Fuck the POICE

  • I came here to be that guy.

  • I'm sure she can find plenty of them at her church.

  • As young as he could get away with publicly.

  • Sorry, no. 2016 was the Before Times, until the “grab them by the pussy” tape came out and nothing came of it.

    That would have been a political career ending coffin nail at any other time. We’ve been in the upside down ever since.

  • Later, his office revealed the state law it was referring to was one that requires the licenses expire on or before a person’s legal status to be in the United State ends, as reported to the DMV.

    So what really happened here? Immigrants with visas that allow them to work in the United States for a period of time were issued licenses by California which had expiration dates later than they should have. What should be happening here is reissuance of corrected documents with the proper expiration date, because California fucked it up in the first place.

    What should not be happening is punishing people who have followed the law.

  • Leavitt ducked and lobbed back a double negative: “These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong.”

    That's not how proof works, Karoline.

  • If you've started this job recently, that sounds completely normal, at least to my neurodivergent ears.

    You're learning how to ride a bike, except it doesn't require so much physical practice as mental practice. You're putting in a lot of mental effort all day every day, and it's exhausting. For me, this period at a new job can last three to six months, sometimes more. Eventually, you get the hang of it, and you don't have to put in nearly as much mental effort to do your job well. Then you can get back to your other life shit.

  • I'm sure you're right for a lot of people. Considering the audience here, who I expect to be more capable of doing more complex things on the basis of "they're here", I hope my advice is more productive than it would be to, say, the local rural Facebook moms group.
