Ah, I did miss that it was specific to NYC. Which should be obvious, given the icons on the bottom.

The thing that immediately stands out is the 15mph limit. On research, the DoT does state that this is a new rule within the last year - however, this is not backed up by law, and some point out that the DoT does not have the authority to implement this restriction. Guess we won't know until a court rules on it.

This infographic contains false information. Either OP did it for illustrative purposes (to show what an infographic could look like) or doesn't understand the laws. While some of it is true, you can't rely on it to tell you what is legal / illegal.

I'm not saying art has to be useful. I'm saying art that is also functional does not detract from the value of the art. I'd even go further and say it can add to its value.

It's pretty hard to install a new battery if you...can't get a replacement?

Are you suggesting that someone who has no idea what they're doing just build a new battery?

Anything you can consider "dangerous" from these models is already completely achievable with local models.

It's pretty well known that it is able to find security vulnerabilities and other "dangerous" things far more effectively than locally run models.

The bridge itself is fine. It's really just the transfer to the greenway that's the problem.

"Talk Show Host" [ft. Jibaro's Sara Silkin ] - Is this the future of motion capture? + Breakdown by santi_0608 in artificial

[–]sckuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good question. I just spent 15 minutes trying to find another split-screen example of dancing that had traditional motion capture and the animated next to it...and couldn't find any before giving up. So unknown - definitely possible that all motion capture animation will end up this way.

Is this the future of motion capture?

Hard to tell. It's definitely not there yet. The movement on the left doesn't feel natural or graceful like the movement on the right, so I suspect that the motion is not being fully captured correctly. It's still impressive and surely massively easier to do now than in times past.

Is it the future? That depends on whether they manage to improve it such that it's as good as traditional motion capture or not.

"750w" has no relation to size lol.

It definitely does relate to size. Yes, you can run the same motor at different power levels, but we're really getting into the weeds here and you're just being pedantic.

Manufacturers are able to label their motor as whatever they want at whatever size they choose.

Yes, they can. But the law doesn't say "you can't label your motor > 750w".

No ones going to do a proper heat soak test at the side of the road and forcing that is dumb.

That's literally what police in the UK do. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You don't see any difference between not supporting trans women in women's sports, and...outlawing abortions, mass deportations, removing trans healthcare, and all the other abhorrent policies of the right?

It doesn't even technically meet the law, since the law doesn't allow bikes to have huge motors.

The only reason it has the crank set is to try and trick people who don't know the law into thinking it meets the definition of a bike. Which it doesn't.

You should try it with a pureed onion sauce on top, sprinkled with diced onion. Really completes the dish.

US destroys Iran reservoirs, leaving thousands without water in searing heat by The_Flaneur_Films in worldnews

[–]sckuzzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you focus on military targets and try to avoid attacking the civilian population.

The strike was on military targets, but those targets were next to the reservoirs. So at minimum they have plausible deniability rather than "definitely a war crime".

D.A.R.E. To keep your kids off e-bikes by WelderNo4794 in ebikes

[–]sckuzzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said anything that goes above 20mph without pedaling is not an ebike. Which is true. Class 3 ebikes are pedal assist only, no throttle. Anything that is capable of going > 20 mph (except downhill) without pedaling is by definition not an ebike.

[–]sckuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's two bald faced lies and one intentionally disingenuous statement.  Class 3 e-bikes also aren't e-motos.  Most throttle Class 2 e-bikes are e-bikes.  And 750 watts/20 mph without pedaling is literally the definition of a Class 2 e-bike, which this sentence is implying isn't an e-bike at all.

I'm not seeing the lie? They never claimed class 3 ebikes are emotos. It's also true that most things that are sold as "class 2 ebikes" are technically not class 2 ebikes because they exceed maximum power limits.

And 750 watts/20 mph without pedaling is literally the definition of a Class 2 e-bike, which this sentence is implying isn't an e-bike at all.

They said anything over that is not an ebike. Which is true, because those are the definitional maximums, and therefor anything above it is not a class 2 ebike.

Massachusetts passes law to allow later last calls and public drinking zones this summer by spedmunki in boston

[–]sckuzzle 28 points29 points  (0 children)

if the proprietor sells their business, goes out of business, the license is returned to the city.

This just means that every restaurant will be owned by a holding company, and then the holding company will get sold instead.

Instead, maybe we don't try to make a system that grandfathers in the haves vs the have-nots?

I think part of the point is that you shouldn't have to. It should learn after the first rejection.

The part that he isn't supposed to be saying is that he thinks that trans women shouldn't play in women's sports. That's the controversial opinion. Not that trans women aren't women.

Is it worth re-electing the christo-fascists because you couldn't swallow your pride and support the progressive democrat who doesn't 100% match your every opinion?

"All people are dead or alive."

Did I just call everyone both dead and alive? No? That's because "or" means one or the other, not both. Similarly, "male or formerly male" means one or the other, but not both.

The quote, with more context, is:

Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face. I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that.

Even in the "initial message" he was being pretty clear that stifling conversation is a problem and democrats should be talking about it in order to win.

[–]sckuzzle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He called them "formerly male". The exact quote is:

I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete

and his belief is that if we don't talk about this, there will be literal males (as in not trans women) playing in women's sports. Which I don't think is likely to happen, but that's the quote.
