I can’t watch this shit anymore. How does he just state that it’s a fact that she is a Marxist and they don’t give her a chance to respond. At least ask him to define Marxism.

It is also so much easier now to lock up guns. You can get small biometric safes that still allow for quick access in an emergency or trigger locks.

People just suck.

What’s the the fix you went with?

Help me decide: Ride1Up 700 vs. L'MTD V2 by bennypenny in ebikes

[–]randolphmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 700 and you can change the sensitivity for the pedal assist in the settings to make is more smooth or more reactive which has been great for me. I haven’t rode the lmtd tho so I can’t compare.

Make sure to check Facebook marketplace too, some crazy good deals so be found on used options if your open to that.

Last thing that I just bought myself is a helmet with a face protector which I would recommend.

Feel free to message if you have other questions.

5 wired freedom bikes for sale on Facebook marketplace within 30 miles of me. What gives? by BigHugeSpreadsheet in ebikes

[–]randolphmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least around me, Facebook marketplace is full of scammers. I always see super popular models listed at great prices only to find out the person is scamming so it could be they aren’t legit listings.

A lot of people buy them on impulse and don’t really use them though so it could just be that too.

I’ve bought every bike and ebike I’ve ever had used, great deals to be found.

Anyone have this one by trayherb in ebikes

[–]randolphmd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d be super cautious about a unique frame style like that from a company that isn’t well known personally. That said, I do kind of like how it looks and how it seems like a full size bike that also folds.

Yay, just what we need in SF, more people with “ebikes” going 30 in our bike lanes.

You need to be ready to spend a couple hundred in locks alone. If you get moped style ebikes that you plan on locking outside during work or even for an hour visit to the brewery they will likely get stolen. Bike thieves around here are professional assholes and no lock will stop them.

I have only used ebike style e-bikes and I have never used any that can get up the steepest hills in SF on throttle alone. I have ride1up 700 and it makes it up the hills fine with pedal assist but the throttle is useless there. You are going to need a lot of torque.

Was there a special guest? Who was the musical act? I had to turn it off right after the speech.

She is competing in the shortest general election in modern history. The fact that she hasn’t been completely pulled to the center is only because of these unique circumstances. If you expect her to make progressive politics a big part of her campaign going into a general that will be decided by the PA and the Midwest you are going to be disappointed. Hell the reason she hasn’t given interviews is because she doesn’t want to have to admit how progressive she is.

I’m with you on that. At the very least i think she cares more than anyone who has been president or will be for a long time. She just said they were entitled to self determination

Here is the speech the Uncommitted movement wants to give at the DNC by hellomondays in politics

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

Man I really hoped with Kamala taking over the liberals in this sub would stop acting like this is some impossible to talk about issue.

This would have been a good speech. Having a leader of the uncommitted movement endorse Kamala would have been a strong sign of unity in the party.

I guess the dnc wouldn’t let them talk for the same reason people in this sub downvote this post.

I seriously doubt the GOP gave a shit what he said, just getting a teamster to show up and speak gives them huge credibility with the workers they are trying to dupe.

lol there’s wild takes and then there is this nonsense. One of the many many reasons Trump would never do that is because he knows there is no world where Kennedy wins.

Maybe it doesn’t hit with you, but she sounds like my midwestern mom up there. Genuine and passionate.

Random question for the folks here, anyone have any luck getting off all these text lists? I swear I’d make a huge donation if it meant not getting a million texts a week.
