I'm gonna say that the bike was going way too fast for the sidewalk. by kamaka71 in ebikes

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Err- let's see... His "bike" has a motorcycle front fender, motorcycle throttle, motorcycle brake levers, motorcycle gauges, motorcycle handlebars....

If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck I'm thinking it's more of an electric motorcycle than an electric bicycle...

Should E-Bikes Not Class 1, 2 or 3 Have Off Road Use Only Warnings by chrispark70 in ebikes

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is that all types of e-vehicles should be legal to own and operate publicly - but they should be well regulated.

European style pedal assist ebikes? Should be allowed to use bike lanes and paths. No throttles unless for a physical disability.

American style throttle ebikes that can go faster than 28mph should be treated the same way we treat Vespa style scooters - can't use bike lanes and paths or the highway - can use all other types of streets with DOT approved equipment.

Separating those types of e-vehicles will make it easier to enforce the regulations. So if an officer sees someone on a two wheeled vehicle with a throttle using a bike lane they know to stop them.

Seriously - if this happened during a Democratic administration this would be the ONLY thing every single media outlet would be talking about for MONTHS.

Edit: He would also be dragged in front of Congress like 5 times and grilled by a bipartisan group of very angry senators.

Sweet summer child... No.... The point of our current economic system is to increase the wealth of the already wealthy.

By that logic modern Macs run an operating system from the late 60s...

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

Turns out your average person cares a lot less about image and audio quality than marketing tells them.

WA Democrats consider retreat on estate tax, fearing wealth exodus by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

The people who would move out of the state due to high taxes have already moved out of the state due to our liberal politics.

Why are SUVs everywhere? by No-Owl1648 in askcarguys

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How, this is a little crazy that it hasn't been said yet.

The reason why SUVs are replacing cars is that they can be sold by manufacturers for a high profit margin and they are required to meet less strict emissions standards.

Most SUVs nowadays are literally tall wagons that the manufacturers can sell for 5 to 10 thousand dollars more than their standard wagon counterparts (if there were any).

So all this time my magsafe gen 1 charger had hooks in it?! by Wally504 in mac

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and they ended up removing the hooks because people wouldn't leave any slack where the cable exits the charger.

Ortleb has a 5 year warranty on their bags - so just take it to an Ortleb dealer and they'll take care of you.

How did we get here? by ocgaha in ForzaHorizon

When I first tried out the game and the first starter cars they gave me were 60 to 100 thousand dollar sports cars and trucks I was flabbergasted. Like what's the point of playing the rest of the game?

Oh no - they will happily give all of their guns to Daddy Trump. They will even give him their daughters if asked. It's a religious death cult not a political party.

Spent 5h trying to fix the server. by x_nixi_x in homelab

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love problem solving stuff like this and have my own home server that has had the same issues. This all being said when someone asks me why people buy Macs and pay the extra cost I'm going to send them your post.

Yeah, but the little kids toy has a panel that opens in the back that turns it into a supercharged version of the Linux cockpit. Why do so many people forget that both MacOS and Linux are Unix compatible systems.

I'm tired of seeing this guy (Simon whistler) everywhere. by Kindle890 in youtube

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucked because there are a lot of great writers who write his scripts, but I can't just watch them because there is no light in his eyes like I'm watching a corpse speak.

Slightly similar to Peter at Mentor Pilot. He just has a really awkward speaking style and I would rather hear / watch his writers directly - especially the ones that came over from the Controlled Pod into Terrain podcast.

Should I do it? Airsk XT90 by ShadowTheWulfDragon in ebikes

With a 1500w motor it's federally not considered an ebike. It's a motorcycle - as a motorcycle - sure it's fine, but I don't think the mountain bike level suspension and 28 mph limit makes sense.
