This is so devastatingly sad.

When you spend $45 million of other people's money on your dictator chic birthday and it's still worse than a roadside Taco Bell value-package party.

This looks great. Here's hoping for buttons on the instrument panel.

You can't. They exist in Europe. My love for CCS is entirely theoretical. It's a more future-proof standard.

Because of the cooling, CCS can deliver over 750+kW.

If the response of the soldiers in the CA National Guard are any indication, I think you might be disappointed.

Dunking on people who share your goal but have a different perspective on one small detail isn't useful.

But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to have 30 mph scooters with riders in a hurry within 2 feet of pedestrians or much slower conventional bikers. MPLS park bike paths have a 10mph speed limit, which is why I ride in the street. We're all out here trying to make biking better.

So fun to anonymously shit post. NYC has a boatload of pedestrians. The bike lanes are feet from them, and at intersections pedestrians frequently spread into bike lanes. I'm not saying that more can't be done on the car side. I agree that criminalization is wrong.

I guess I don't see the point. I feel fine biking there. Are there better places? Maybe. But I haven't been to those places. You can easily get anywhere you want to go on bike in Manhattan, and the Citi bike infrastructure is amazing. Like I said, ymmv.

I guess my experience is solely Manhattan. I think it's pretty good, but ymmv. Regardless, hopefully more bikes makes better infrastructure.

Totally agree. Wider bike lanes and two-way bike lanes on avenues would definitely help.

I'm definitely not encouraging focusing on a single thing. We agree that biking should be safer and more accessible, and that includes going after reckless drivers. And again, NY has tried to limit cars, recently lowered the speed limit, and added bike lanes.

Crappy drivers and crappy riders everywhere. But citi bikes are 10mph slower than the delivery ones.

probably be in traffic lanes. They're basically quiet Vespas.

To be fair they're not on sidewalks. They're in bike lanes. They just don't use them safely. NYC has bike lanes on most streets at this point, and the congestion charge has noticeably thinned out car traffic. Things there are moving in the right direction. But 30mph throttle bikes should

penalties for this though. That's way too far.

No idea. I just ride citi bikes in NYC on a regular basis and the delivery drivers on non e-bikes that don't actually require pedalling are a total menace. Those things do close to 30, and with the pressure to deliver fast, the riders make very questionable decisions. I don't agree with criminal

It's 20 mph for cars. But anyone who's been to NY knows how close the bike lanes are to the sidewalk, and none of the delivery folks who use these respect traffic lights or regular bike traffic. They also frequently ride against one-way traffic. This is a good thing.

My ex once described a hotel: "it's a super small room, but at least the sheets are scratchy." This feels much the same.

Tariffs would make sense if we had the capacity to produce this much steel. But we don't. Not even close. And even if we did, the US will still pay more for housing and infrastructure than the rest of the world, putting us at a competitive disadvantage long term. Massive self-own.

I get it, they're going after business travelers. But this is really shitty, and their silence means they know it.

Yes, but the effect of pardon would be that he'd been transferred from a low security federal prison in Texas to a maximum security prison in Minnesota. He's better off without the pardon.
