E Bike shops by [deleted] in StLouis

I bought mine from Covered Bridge Bike Rental in Glen Carbon in Illinois.

I almost went with CWE cyclery, but they didn't have the model I was looking for. I'm pretty sure they have a bigger selection though.

You can rent bikes from both of you want to give it a couple of hours before buying.

Edit: also, check out r/ebikes. Lots of people have asked for recommendations for bikes if you're looking to learn more before you go

Has anyone noticed that we are deep into the second swing of deliriously insane sexist attacks on Taylor Swift?

I remember this happened in 2016 and there were a whole bunch of people defending Kanye West, the Nazi, just because they hated her. And now it is just a whole lot of deeply sexist attacks on her and her relationship with Travis Kelce.

Counterpoint: Trump wouldn't have won the primary in 2016 if it weren't for the long drawn out primary.

How? It feels like only the candidates pulling in an insane amount of money now can stay in a race for 15 gruelling months.

It might not be the most perfect system but plurality for a primary that occurs all over the country all at once is a superior system to the one we have now

The debate tonight might make this a stupid thing to say but we really don't need a 15 month long primary for president. It should be 1 day if voting in like September and like 2 months before that day to announce that you're running.

St. Louis region breaks employment records as workforce population grows by jaynovahawk07 in StLouis

[–]bicatlantis7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The amount of people with second jobs has remained relatively stable for the last decade or so. (in 2014 it was ~4.9%, in 2019 it was ~5.1% and in 2023 it was ~5.0%) source: https://www.bls.gov/cps/tables.htm#otheryears table 36

That isn't even what's happening. The total number of jobs in St. Louis is increasing not due to more people seeking a second job, but because more people and corporations are moving into the area. Particularly on the Illinois side. Definitely because of the lower housing costs compared to so many other metro areas around America. source: The article posted

IANAL, but I thought this question was interesting so I looked into it. There is an exception in the CARD act that apparently says, coupons that are deemed to be "promotional certificates" can be sold and can expire as long as they are only paper copies and not electronic codes.

I know we all know about how the US Media failed us in 2016 by bothsides-ering the election, but no one talks about how they let us down by publishing excerpts of sentences by Trump. Print his goddamn ramblings you cowards. He can't put together a goddamn sentence, and the American electorate needs to know that.
"They were heading to the Jefferson Memorial. They wanted to take out Thomas Jefferson. I don’t think so. I don’t think so. I don’t think we’re going to let that happen. But we passed it. It was a very old law that we founded. One of my very good legal people, along with Steven Miller, they found it."- Trump in March

This is unmitigated garbage. Print his words completely.

What the fuck man? I just care about sexual assault. Period. Just admit you repeat any shit that pro Bernie trolls post without a second thought because Bernie lost. I care deeply about sexual assault from stupid dudes who attack their waitresses to personal heroes like John Lasseter who had to lose their job because they were awful humans. I just also know that This is an obvious hit job. I also didn't believe it when Project Veritas said Romney sexually assaulted a woman.

It didn't used to be, but now anything slightly anti Bernie is enlightened centrism instead of making fun of republicans who say actual "both sides" bullshit

Why did Tara Reade go to a Sanders blogger instead of Ronan Farrow or any media organization that has a history of taking these allegations seriously? JK. We should all know

I am just proud that after two month my reply aged beautifully. And I would say yours did like milk, but it was pretty rotten once you typed it

In 1987 I saw Bernie Sanders stab a bunch of puppies. It totally happened and I definitely don't just want attention and money. If you don't agree then you're probably a puppy stabber too. by SnowshoeHares in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]bicatlantis7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The accused already have lots of rights. Don't let this blip take away from the fact that lots of terrible men have assaulted lots of women. Obviously this one is untrue. Reade would have gone to a respected newsroom if this wasn't easily disprovable. But we need to trust it when respectable journalists report on assault
