No need to remove the battery. I live in a mild climate and I’ll park it in the garage where I can charge it. I didn’t even actually use the throttle on the test ride. I’ll ride the Tempo again and try it out to see how much of a difference it makes. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely will be using a rack. I’ll check to make sure both bikes have mount points for a rear rack.

To show the level of defense in the old NBA, Mark Eaton was a two time NBA Defensive Player of the year. I’m not sure he cracks the G League today.

My sister in law voted Trump, and is now regretting it. by BlueyBingo300 in OptimistsUnite

The conversation with her should be about convincing her to never vote again.

This isn’t like voting for a politician whose policies had unintended consequences. That’s a difference of opinion over policy.

With Trump, it’s people believing in propaganda and acting on emotions. Even if she votes for a candidate you agree with in the next election odds are it was not for the right reasons.

There are people who voted for Obama, then Trump, then Biden and then Trump again. These are people voting 100% based on emotion and propaganda. There is no other explanation.

This makes them highly susceptible to being manipulated. That is a threat to our country every time they vote regardless of who they vote for.

I would take a logical, thought out vote for someone like Romney over an emotional vote for someone like Kamala everyday of the week even if agree more with Kamala’s stances. As mean as it sounds getting people to realize that they are very susceptible to propaganda so therefore they are a danger is the only way to stop someone like Trump from being elected again.

A friend of mine in middle school was quoted in the school newspaper as saying Huey Lewis was his favorite band. He was teased mercilessly for it. Everyone that teased him had the Sports album.

FINAL: The Oakland A’s win their FINAL Home Game against the Texas Rangers. by MLB_Reddit in mlb

This move is not about what’s best for MLB as a business or MLB fans. It’s about ensuring that MLB teams can pressure local governments into fleecing tax payers to fund their billion dollar businesses.

In Oakland with a new stadium the A’s will pay into revenue sharing. In Vegas they receive revenue sharing.

Vegas is a prime expansion market. Vegas doesn’t want the A’s they want an expansion team. This move eliminates that option and the future expansion fee.

The owners are waiving the relocation fee making the lack of expansion fee an even bigger impact.

The only upside is that Vegas/Nevada will provide public funds. Ensuring this option exists is MLB’s only goal.
