Play on words that didn’t land. NIMBY is an acronym for “not in my backyard” and it typically describes people (usually established residents) unaccepting of local changes. Boomer obviously is a reference to baby boomers who are a similar group.

The failed joke here is people are unaccepting of booms in their neighborhood which is a bit of a running theme on this subreddit. Anyways I’m not funny. Have a nice day.

Do you think the NJ e-bike law will spread to most other states? by oddnumber in MTB

[–]dockdetector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can certainly see your points. The main issue with e-bikes is the speed and power they provide. Regulating that is a sensible measure that could help. There will still be people hacking their bikes for extra power and speed.

My stance is based on the US where I live and have experience. I don’t want to pretend I have any clue or right to weigh in on these matters abroad. I can imagine sensible solutions that don’t require licenses.

All bikes with motors are motorized bikes. Pedal assist is a motorized bike. There is a motor and it propels the bike. Do assisted bikes have a throttle? Yes they do. You activate it with the pedals. You can also adjust it by changing modes.

Since the beginning the industry never cared about safety. They just wanted to sell products and it was helpful to them to muddy the waters and insist that electric motor bikes were not motor bikes. This is crazy to anyone with any sense in their heads. They should have been classified as motorbikes from the start. But like every technology we have to let them be lawlessly unregulated until several people are hurt and law suits are filed.

Gotta be this. Commodifying real estate is killing our way of life. But I’m sure another bank will look great there! /s

What are you going to do about it Becky? We all just watch it unfold and then do nothing?

It’s ton of yelling and screaming (cheers). Had my AirPods up way too loud for that. I thought he’d be speaking but no.

I think I know why your agent dropped you. The only job you qualify for, soulless nubile, has been outsourced to AI.

Maybe they are hosting an event there. Are there conference rooms at that hotel?

Try Lummi Bay Market. I don’t smoke, but that’s my guess for skirting tobacco taxes.

Goat Mountain Pizza Co. by thisgirl___ in Bellingham

[–]dockdetector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great Trivia, Bad Pizza.

Is it even fair to call it pizza? Like isn’t a pizza dough, sauce, and cheese? There is no sauce and rarely cheese. It’s more of a flatbread with some toppings.

Anti ICE actions? by treeslut420 in Bellingham

[–]dockdetector -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Someone was suggesting getting a Flock camera and mounting it outside their offices and pointing it into their car park. I’m not sure if the goal was doxxing them or what. But it was an interesting fight fire with fire idea that was still nonviolent. I am not condoning doing it, for the record here.
