  • Is it ok to ask for recommendations here? Looking to buy a scooter, possibly an ebike, and I don't want to accidentally buy a piece of crap.

  • Im a fan of Lectric ebikes. They pack a lot of features and quality into a rock bottom price, and seem to be in a good position as a company, so no sudden bankruptcy leaving you stranded like some brands recently.

    I bought one of their ebikes, and was impressed at the overall quality. They do tend to use "generic" or "in house" bike components to likely save on spend, but nothing seems shoddy. My bike has a 750w motor and is a class 3, so it can and does hit 28mph smoothly and easily and has a 20-40 mile real world range.

    I did have an issue with a leaky hydraulic brake line after storing it for a few months. I reached out to them about it, and they instantly mailed me a replacement brake and lever for free. That was nice, but as a counter point their "break replacement" video was for an entirely different model and was only about 70% applicable.

    Some give and take to be sure, but I'm glad to have the bike and would buy again.

  • Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?

    Jump

  • If "they have to use good data and actually fact check what they say to people" kills "all machine leaning models" then it's a death they deserve.

    The fact is that you can do the above, it's just much, much harder (you have to work with data from trusted sources), much slower (you have to actually validate that data), and way less profitable (your AI will be able to reply to way less questions) then pretending to be the "answer to everything machine."

  • Emergency contraception is now at the 7-Eleven and other convenience stores, next to the condoms

  • Those same people will tell you normal birth control are also abortion pills, so its not worth arguing with them in general.

  • If you have a strong burner, the recommended carbon steel wok works great too, even on my electric stove. Im stunned at how fast it heats up and what a good job it does even in my inexperienced hands.

    Kenji, a serious eats alumni, has an award winning wok book I picked up at the same time. It's a beast, covering tons of different cuisine and methods. Really great combo.

  • 8646 was apparently being said in maga circles a few years back about Biden.

  • Id recommend going for carbon steel instead of teflon if all clad or stainless steel is too much work.

    For like $40-100, they heat up insanely well, are very light and will last your lifetime. They form an excellent non stick coating after several uses just like cast iron.

  • AI's second innovation, besides letting you mass fire labor, is removing all blame for any decision as long as you can thinly point to AI being involved.

    It outsources responsibility, and our legal/political/moral systems are not built to handle it.

  • YSK Humble Bundle has a game store for GOG and Steam keys, which uses its profits for charity

    Jump

  • You should also know they were bought a couple years back by IGN, and have drastically increased the minimum "tip" amount in bundles that you give them while also hiding the sliders more. Instead of being the $1 of old humble, its now $7.50.

    They also changed the choice discount you get on their direct store to slowly ramp up to 20% only when you stay subscribed for 12 months straight. It resets to 0% if you pause a month. The 20% off also has random exclusions, so it just doesn't apply, or applies at some lesser rate at their whim.

    Its not a bad site, but it's slowly enshittifying a hallowed name in gaming.

  • Denmark rethinking 40-year nuclear power ban amid Europe-wide shift

    Jump

  • More scalable is hilarious. They take like 10 years to build and cost 18 billion dollars to get 1GW steady state.

    Meanwhile, we can whip out 1GW of solar in 2yrs for 2 billion, and do it in modular sections. You don't have steady state, but you could build solar out to compete with enough battery and high voltage transmission lines, with basically zero nuclear hurdles. It would cost, but it is viable now and much faster, and that's with current tech. Batteries and panels are just getting cheaper and better.

  • There is only one active thorium reactor in the world, and its 2MW test plant in China, out in the Gobi desert. They just managed to refuel it for the first time, which is a great milestone, but in no way, shape or form are thorium reactors a viable power source anywhere else on earth, much less "so portable they fit in a 40ft shipping container."

  • Renewables and batteries have steady output and can be built much faster and cheaper than nuclear. It's why 94% of all new power generation globally in 2024 was renewables.

  • Lord Buffalo Drummer ‘Forcibly Removed’ From Plane and Detained by Border Patrol; Band Cancels European Tour

  • Sure. His first comment excused this brutal US behavior by saying "Europe has immigration laws too," implying what the US just did to a 35 yr legal, green card holding US resident was fine and ordinary.

    His second comment ignored me asking about how Europe treats immigrants and answered a different question by saying that "they can't just stay in Europe."

    This has almost nothing to do with what happened to this man. He has been detained in his legal country of residence, his home of 35 years, for no crime. He was detained while literally leaving the country, something that you would expect immigration would want if they didn't want him here.

    At no point did he "stay too long" in the US as that isn't possible. Even if he somehow could, which he could not, he was still literally leaving.

    So this case is nothing like European laws having to do with overstaying a visa. Bringing it up in a "duh guys, it's just like the laws everywhere else" way is a disingenuous deflection from the fact that no, it is not. That is why they are being downvoted.

  • So no European country detained him? Glad we have that straight.

    As to your asinine "overstaying in the country" point for the US, he has a green card and has been a legal US resident for 35 years. Its his country of residence. How can he "overstay?"

    And lastly, as an entirely extraneous point, he was literally on a plane, leaving the country. How was that in anyway, shape or form "staying in the country" when he was on a vehicle in the literal process of leaving the country?
