How much do you have your kids read?

No kids here, but growing up by the time I was 6, we would sit down as a family and read a chapter or so of The Hobbit, The (more than complete) Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, or any number of other books, every evening for 30-45 minutes before bed. All children in the room that were capable of reading took a turn. This apparently helped our public speaking skills as well as our reading skills.

Just 27 months for killing a cyclist and lying to the authorities.

Not an E-bike, no. My E-bike can technically go up to 25mph before it stops assisting, but I, and everyone else I know that owns one, have it set to cutoff at 20mph. Not because 25 is particularly fast around here with good bike infrastructure (for the US,) but because I had it set to 25 for about 600 miles and the motor started making a loud high pitched whine anytime it went over 20. I didn't want to burn up the motor, so I set it to 20mph max. I now have 4000+ miles on that bike and add 150-200 miles a month.

Electric motorcycles are a different story.

Snack attack!

Mustard, like yellow or brown mustard spread, or mustard powder (the spice) I could see adding some mustard powder to Mac and cheese. Not the other two.

Mustard spread just seems to indicate that they've burnt out their taste buds and need extremely strong flavors to taste anything.
