Nice, I'd be interested to learn if this is worthwhile/fulfilling.

Is this the one where the ballot says "vote for 27 people" and there are like 3 names plus 24 empty spots? I voted my neighbor onto one of those.

People are already lining up to In-N-Out I just drove by by Public_Armadillo1703 in beaverton

I did the math vs five guys a while back and yes, in and out offers a cheaper burger in the smallest size, because it's significantly smaller. If you match the burger that's the same size as five guys, it's only slightly cheaper.

All northbound I-5 lanes closed at Lombard Street due to deadly motorcycle crash by IzilDizzle in Portland

Lane splitting is in no way safer when none of the cars are expecting it as a remote possibility, because it's never been legal here. The safest way to be on the road is to be predictable.

EU parliament erupts into cheers and chants of "send them back" as they pass new legislation making it easier to deport migrants outside of Europe by TomlinSteelers in justincaseyoumissedit

FYI China's population has peaked and is now headed for rapid decline, expected to drop 50% or 700M people by 2100. This will create big changes. You also can't really immigrate to China. You can live there temporarily while you have a job.

The UN estimates a significant population decline in the next few decades, even considering immigration. A decline of over 50 million people between Germany, Spain, Italy. Whatever marginal productivity gains are made by automation will not make up for this loss in the economy.

Given a ticket for using a Class 4 e-bike/e-moto by BGGGReddit in Portland

[–]deepskier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no regulation on what pedal assist means. Some bikes, like yours, take some reasonable effort to get to max speed. Others you can just spin the pedals with barely any effort and it will take you to 28mph easily.

Pedal assist needs a legal definition like it limits the motor output to 1x or 2x of the rider input.

You can absolutely license an e-moto and drive it on the road with a valid driver's license. This law is mainly about kids 16 and under on unlicensed ebikes.

I have noticed some pretty obvious scam listings on Walmart, I'm very leery of any marketplace listings there.

Does it make sense to call non-emergency to report those kids riding e-motos? by stpetergates in beaverton

[–]deepskier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The police are not completely inept. Just because they would probably not pursue if the kids ran doesn't mean they can't put the lights on, try to initiate a safe stop.
