It's not that ebikes are regen braking, it's that bikes are throwing less brake pad dust into the air due to the lower mass and velocity of the object involved.

A single brake pad on a car is around the size of the sole of a shoe, and they use 4. A bikes brake pad is around the size of a thumbnail, and you only need 2.

Yeah honestly I can get behind this one. UN aid organizations in gaza have a proven history of "misallocating" aid directly into the hands of Hamas (thus reinforcing their hold on power).

If people want a Palestine that is democratic and free, putting food directly into the hands of those who need it is a good first step.

It's unfortunate that food needs to be under armed guard, and it's even more unfortunate that that armed guard is a PMC, but that's the political reality we're in.

America isn't going to send in troops to fight Hamas over scraps of food - and realistically an official US military presence in Gaza would just further inflame tensions. They'll take our money, but they don't want us there.

Thank you. I stole it from reddit.

You can deal with 100 mile range on a touring bike? Sounds like you need a moped, not a goldwing.

Big talk for someone who also isn't about to throw their life away to take potshots at the local police station.

Government agitators: "God why are leftists such little babies! Oh you're not a little baby? You don't need a nappy? Well prove it! Commit a violent crime at a peaceful protest RIGHT NOW! Yeah, right into that camera. Great. That's perfect. Thank you."

Yeah that's not even current slang is it? My 50 year old coworkers were saying no mamas 10 years ago.

Napoleon enforced freedom of religion and emancipated the Protestants and Jews of France and in countries under his sway. He set up formal representative bodies that they could elect to interface with the government and settle matters of religious law.

Before the reforms, preaching in a protestant church was a capital offense.

Can we replace him with an actual Italian American instead?

Everyone still likes Frank Sinatra, right?

Spoken like a true bigot. Good luck with that 👍

A predictive model is only as accurate as it's underlying assumptions. Leftists are floundering on the Palestine issue because they don't actually want to understand the opposing side. They're just chasing the dopamine rush of feeling like they're right, always - kind of like religious fundamentalists.

Ok but Hitler was literally mentally ill. Could he have been rehabilitated? With the methods available at the time? The methods of today? Would that be just? Safe? How much do you trust the science?

It's not some crazy hypothetical. There are thousands of people walking around right now who have that same capacity and drive to do evil.
