Best case scenario is they don't want the wrath of maga and just hope the problem will go away.

And what do we have to do with cars? Completely separate infrastructure, signalized traffic control, speed enforcement, insurance, registry, safety inspections, etc. We don't want that world for pedelecs.

You'd think that would be the common case but seems to be the opposite. And all these diy and random imports, people are not limiting throttle control to 20. Purely for enforcement reasons, both users and police, I say get rid of throttle*.

I heard about metro trains getting bricked after 3rd party repairs. This makes it sound like freight trains but it paywalls quickly.

I am aware and years ago I thought it was ok. After watching YouTube videos of yahoos, I think we need to get rid of 2 and 3. Throttle puts you into a different mentality, which I don't think works well with mingling with pedestrians.

This has to be easy to differentiate and enforce without pulling up product sheets and testing it (because who knows what's coming from China anyway): Throttle? Banned*. 20 mph. Anything above that should be a clear ~~moped~~ scooter.

You know that thing a rule is only as good as it's enforced? This needs to be dead easy for everyone, police and users.

TIL of the Narcissist Smirk. (wasitme.blog)
 

Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

Prediction: They will soon talk about revoking citizenship obtained "illegally", working its way to children born in the US to illegal immigrants. (lemmy.world)

It will start with "lying" on forms, "incorrect" asylum claims, "concern is over" asylum claims, and soon enough people born to illegal immigrants. Slow boiled frog and all that.

Like there's video AI to enhance video, but podcasts have so many bad connections with guests it's horrible to listen to. They need to run out through an audio AI.

Honda CEO Insists Nissan CEO Must Resign For Merger To Go Ahead (www.forbes.com)

According to a report in the Financial Times, unnamed sources close to Honda said that the automaker would be willing to resume talks only if Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida stepped down and retired. Last Tuesday, the Financial Times reported Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe’s relationship with Uchida had deteriorated after Honda’s boss finally understood the depth and breadth of the company’s financial mismanagement. Then, another twist.

My personal thought: Nissan's Board of Directors will boot him if they think this merger is crucial.

Mr. Trump is ordering the director of national intelligence and attorney general — neither official has been confirmed yet — to spend the next 15 days coming up with a plan to release the JFK files.

Mr. Trump's order also will declassify more records on the 1968 assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and former senator and attorney general Robert F. Kennedy. The DNI and attorney general will have 45 days to come up with plans to release the RFK and MLK files.
