Do you think a south American country would be allowed to implement the same policies as Denmark? We just kidnapped the last president who tried to do democratic socialism.

the stables

I didn’t see any stables, just horses chilling wherever.

If she decides that a plant looks tasty, strength alone won’t help you save her from herself

Yeah, I am kinda confused how the horses eating Styrofoam and hanging out just wherever are alive at all. Some were left to wander, sone were tied up in areas to eat whatever.

Maybe generations of the ones that would be saved by not letting them eat poison culling themselves created a breed that is either immune to poison and the kind of dumb shit that usually kills horses.

I think farm communities here have a different relationship with animals where like they clearly groom them and make some effort for them to not die, there’s not so much effort.

Seems fishy, I expect a breakthrough in SSB mass production would end up with one of the car manufacturers, phone companies, or utilities, whom invest tens of billions into R&D instead of some unknown motorcycle company. The sci-fi aesthetic intersecting with the functionality also is a red flag; I will be shocked if the bearings for the hubless motors is as efficient, reliable, or repairable as a standard chain or even shaft drive. If its not functionally better, that tells us they’re primarily trying to attract investors via a flashy product as opposed to a good product.

But if their claims turn out to be true, this has crazy implications for the entire automotive world.

The traffic engineer explained it was a skill issue.

The traffic engineer interviewed knows the wheelbase of common vehicles. Most people don’t need to drive into traffic, they’re just not turning the wheel enough, early enough.

But the people driving cars with the wheelbase of a semi can still take the turn, you just look for oncoming traffic before you use part of the lane.

100%, the way the hair stands up on your neck when the rear wheel is unexpectedly slippery is the same as walking on unexpectedly slippery steps. Theres sp much you sense within the bike that just isn’t there for cars.

In America??

Tons of vietnamese have horses in rural areas, I should ask them their secret to affording vet bills. Maybe horse mechanics are just used to keeping the things running.

whether or not she can eat it

Who is going to stop the 1500 lb animal?

We should be discouraging unnecessarily large vehicles anyway, ideally through urban design like this. Another element I like is sequential speed bumps with uneven gaps, smaller vehicles already going reasonable speeds can just weave through the gaps, larger vehicles going fast are required to slow.

Just go slowly and stop if there is a car coming.

Why do you think they are able to achieve and maintain that level of social spending while every other government that invests in anything other than resource extraction gets overthrown?

Where is it 18 cents? I’ve never heard of it being that cheap anywhere. I picked numbers that matched my experience and were easy to math.

When’s the last time you talked to a 95 year old or saw one walking? Like the physical and mental endurance isn’t there.

Here’s Noam Chomsky at 93

If they did that, the Cuban people would be subject to the same living conditions as every other caribbean island.

Yes, and the number of ev taxis and delivery mopeds in China tells me in the long run, it is cheaper. But I live in an ICE-centric society, if my bike is doing something funny, I can probably diagnose the problem, if not I’m probably within 100 feet of someone who can. If its not worth fixing, there’s enough of a used market I can get a used one for less than 1000 USD that will carry me hundreds of km at highway speeds. We must contend with the world as it exists now.

80 vs 95. Raul was fighting in an armed rebellion while Trump was still shitting himself.

Raul Castro is 95 years old. There is no way a 95 year old is secretly super influential. America is just going after whoever and making up reasons why after the fact.

For riding, perfectly linear torque without a clutch is kind of boring. Charging was kinda complicated due to 2 competing charging networks and poor infrastructure, Also I’m unclear on how to get one fixed, whereas anyone in this country can fix a honda.

People can keep ICE engines running a very long time.

You might have to replace the plugs, timing belt, pistons, valves, rods, gasket, camshaft, crankshaft, sleeves, and block, but the engine? It can last a really long time.

I liked 1 of the electric bikes I tried, and Ill admit its probably objectively better in terms of practicality, but I kinda prefer gas.
