  • Violence is a central tenet of the hard right and has always been.

    Jump

  • Per the NIJ article on domestic terrorism, violence is predominantly used by the right.

    Since 1990, the count is at 227 events by the far right versus 42 by the far left. A 5.4x difference.The difference is even greater in the number of lives taken. 520 by the far-right, and 78 by the far-left. A 6.6x difference.

    RECALL WARNING: Trek recalls more than 75,000 bikes due to brake defect, tells people to 'immediately stop' riding them

    Jump

  • Wow, the last time I saw coaster brakes was on my very first bike as a kid around 20 years ago. I almost forgot they were a thing.

  • Good point. Reverse gravity slingshot it is then.

  • Parents Are Accidentally Buying Their Kids Electric Motorcycles Instead Of E-Bikes

    Jump

  • Oh dear god please tell me that's in an area with both respectful drivers and a sufficiently low 15-20 mph speed limit. All of my defensive driving experience is screaming DANGER.

    There is an area like that near where I live, and it is the only place where I feel it is safe to even consider mingling with car traffic. For that area, I do exactly as you posted.

  • EV (car) alternative with no leg usage

    Jump

  • A bit late, but Naxeon might also be a contender here. Both brakes are on the handlebars, bike style, and is suitable for city and short highway use.

    No idea if they're planning any sketchy subscription stuff like zero tried, but someone will probably reply and let me know if they are.

    Jump

  • I think we might be confusing bike types. The one I have checks out under the Class 3 e-bike specs. 28 mph max, 750W sustained motor, and no license or plates needed.

    Anything above that is absolutely a motorcycle though, and will need license and registration.

  • What do you do to keep your bike safely locked up?

    Jump

  • Generally my process whenever I park my e-bike is U-lock to bike post/rack and remove the pedals. If I'm feeling a bit more paranoid, I'll also set it to class 1 to disable the throttle.

  • UPDATE: To clarify, this post was written with Class 1-3 ebikes in mind. Anything above that is absolutely subject to motorcycle regulations. Registration, insurance, etc.

    If you mean the breakdown lane, then yes... assuming it exists on that road. If not, then you really don't have a choice. Speaking from experience, riding on a 3-6 inch mini road shoulder is a horrible experience. You're constantly checking for cars behind while simultaneously making sure you don't bonk the sidewalk curb which will topple you if you hit it.

    My path list is breakdown lane > parking lot > sidewalk > dirt. Whatever keeps me clear of both pedestrians and moving cars.

  • Reddit advertising ICE

  • Ready to wear the badge?

    Oh please, everyone knows ice agents dont have badges. You can just dress like one, blend right in, and start barking unconstitutional orders. No training required.

  • Cloudflare issues

    Jump

  • Fediverse functioning as intended here. High-availability service outages can only slightly hamper Lemmy/Mastodon as a whole.

    Of course, the picture changes slightly when you zoom in to a per-instance level, but I'm okay with it. I'm not that terminally online.

  • Want to play the latest multiplayer games? Just go into your bios settings or upgrade your PC if it doesn't have TPM chip.

    Jump

  • It's more unusual than anything. TPM2 and Secure boot are requirements I would expect from a security compliance checklist and software handling at least somewhat valuable data, like maybe a password vault.

    A steam game is the last place I would expect this.

  • Thank you Leah!

  • You know, I've always been curious about this. Has anyone managed to correlate any outbound traffic to Intel's IME?

  • Bitch you literally just bought half the world's RAM supply. The fuck did you even need a bailout for in the first place?

  • Nonono, give him nothing but McDonald's. His heart's already on the way out, we shouldn't delay his upcoming meeting with the grim reaper.

  • 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower

  • I wonder if we'll ever get enough standardization across EVs so people can start doing the electric equivalent of an LS swap.I could see this being done on a Slate truck, along with an auxiliary EV battery bolted in the back.

  • What's the first thing you'd do with a Star Trek holodeck?

    Jump

  • See if I can hook it into SteamVR and launch Resonite in there.

    Might need some virtual controllers to do menu button stuff, but that should be easy.
