For three years we've used this GEM[global electric motors] LSV[low speed vehicle] as our primary vehicle.
Legally I'm restricted to roads with 35mph speed limits or less, my maximum legal speed is 25mph, I never bothered to modify the top speed. I'm registered & insured in Reno. Driving the GEM is like towing a trailer, if the line of cars forms behind me, I pull over & let them pass Maybe 4 times a year someone rage passes me & generally ends up waiting next to me at the next light
With the lumber rack, beacon & safety triangle, I probably appear to be a city or university worker.

The notion that everyone must drive at or above the speed limit isn't true in my experience. Every trip does not require getting on a limited access highway & blasting along at 70 mph. The time saved is minimal, Small mistakes become serious accidents at higher speeds Every vehicle forum I've ever been on has a large contingent of Boys who want their toys to go fast.
The older model Kei mini trucks is too short & narrow to go faster than 40 mph or so safely. Making it wider reduces the ability to lane split :D

Copyright imbues the creation with a level of uniqueness that is greatly exaggerated
Given a set of facts & tools people will come to similar or identical conclusions
So What?
Should that entitle you to be a gatekeeper forever?

Humans have an urge for legacy. Legacy is probably the most destructive of human traits, it manifest as hoarding a bunch of resources, having as many children as possible, being noticed, being "famous". The last two are having your legacy NOW

Legacy is self preservation exaggerated to extremes

We already have a basic problem
Governance ideally is people of good intentions coming together to make things better
Conservatives don't have good intentions Prosecutors control law enforcement
Courts have no way to enforce their rulings

Elmo put it back in your pants...

Having yet another thing to keep charged
a usb port is far easier to break
I hate earbuds, I want my same old over the ear $15 sony headphones that last for years

BT is just another thing to fuss with for no apparent benefit, I have an assortment of BT crap that won't connect consistently.
Whatever convenience BT might offer is negated by the time wasted learning the intricacies of the ever changing APPs [software]

Gendered sports is an accommodation so men don't have compete with or lose to women

Looks like open suze is going to experience more corporate bullshyt
The parent is suggesting the non corporate part is going to need to be renamed

I lost interest in open suze after I was dead ended on version 15

The highest aspiration for capitalism is to have "passive income" to be a gatekeeper, find some little loop hole to exploit, socialize the costs & privatize the profits

For cop shows
Play a drinking game
When ever a DA or leo talk about or actually violate someone's rights
Drink
When probable cause & warrants, give way to exigent circumstances
Drink Cops are lazy & or overworked
Bonus round are people within the episode seeking rehabilitation, justice or retribution
Retribution
Drink

Is plastic really better? PVC, ABS,polyethylene and the rest get brittle after some time depending on conditions. All the degradation byproducts are in the water

Infamy or Fame
Noticed them though right :D

New safety laws/rules are always in reaction to bad behavior or to shift liability
I worked in industrial food plants in the central valley of California
Jack n the Box killing children, changed the food industry
All the big retailers & fast food chains started requiring SAP, ISO type material resource planning systems to limit their liability. We had regular drills where we had to find a specific package wherever it might be within the hour as if there was a problem that had come to light
While OSHA & CalOSHA exist, our biggest driver of safety improvements was the workmans comp insurance companies. They would do inspections a couple of times a year & we would implement their "suggestions"
In 20+ years the only time I heard about an OSHA inspection was after an outside contractor got crushed by a loading dock he was working on & failed to block it up, they were in & out in an hour

Reading the comments I thought I was on Reddit :D

Nixon not being jailed led to the Orange Menace

When I 1st read your comment
My mind said Pat Buchanan :D

The phone is terrible for listening to music while riding a motorcycle or bicycle.
Impossible to use a touchscreen without looking at it.
Over the years I've used a series of cheap players. For the past few years sandisc clip, last I checked discontinued, replaced with something 4 times the price. I have a few different makes & models. I like to give them away as sort of a digital mix tape of a few 1000 songs I need tactile buttons, which I augment with stick on jewels so I can operate with gloves for the pause/play & next song. Ideally single click for either function. My helmets either have headphone pockets or I add them. Wired headphones, no BT disconnect, no dead batteries.
I clip the player to my right lapel so I can change songs without taking my hand off the throttle :D.
The random on everything including ipods sucks, I usually do a bunch of folders with 200-500 files each

Rich is a symptom of reduced empathy
The willingness to exploit systems & labor for fun & profit

Paygo is a poison pill the GOPux passed in 1990
We see the results
Unwilling to figure out a sensible budget, their incompetence triggers automatic cuts... Next up Debt Ceiling

Wax is mostly made from oil too
