16mph is the limitation in germany. If your bike is faster, you have to register it an pay tax, and cant use dedicated bicycle infratructure anymore.

16mph is exactly the speed where I'm fast enough but dont feel like I would die in a crash.

Everything above would require protective clothing like on motorcycles Imo, and that kind of defeats the purpose for ebikes for me. I want to ride my bike but don't want to have to fight against wind and going up the hill.

If an ebike is as fast as a motorcycle, it should get treated as one.

About an hour ago, I heard a strange noise outside and looked through my window to see some light moving in the grass. I did a quick recording from my phone but it was blurry because the camera kept focusing on the mosquito net, so I grabbed my headlamp to go outside to investigate.

It turns out my landlord got a real fancy lawnmower robot that was almost completely silent moving the lawn.

I go back in to watch some Youtube videos. About half an hour in, a lot of whacky channels start popping up recommending me videos of UFO sightings.

Coincidence or is it because I made a video with blurry lights while saying "What is this?"

I lean towards the first option because I avoid pseudo science channels like the plague and I didn't give the algorhythm any starting point. You know, like when you accidentally watch a basketball video and the whole feed turns into basketball until you train it that you're not a basketball Fan to make them go away.

Now I have to do that with all the UFO videos and weirdly enough sasquatch that got into the mix as well.

I think I have to degooglefy way more serious than I already do. I always have camera and mic deactivated in the system unless I get a call or take a picture/video, so I should be good during the day. I do that for over a year now and the coincidential recommendations that mimic some random stuff you talked about a couple hours earlier stopped completely. But sometimes I need those functions and I don't like some company using it for evil.

Screenshot of the first Video I took:

With the current political climate USA is in, it might weaken him to get endorsements from the establishment.

Their masks are coming off. Voting in line with republicans and being vocal against anything progressive.

I know too many peace loving hippies that turned to vote far right after covid.

I blame internal issues but mainly foreign disinformation campaigns.

Centrist approach?

USA has a conservative Party and a Neonazi Party

I don't know why you would use a third Party Tool that estimates your purchases, when it has always been right there in your account, without estimates.

Some of them are in protest, some are insurance fraud because teslas don't sell. Some just burn by themselves.

It will be porn subs, onlyfans style

I always suspected that was their Plan B when everything else fails.

Edit: That would explain the accidental banning of all NSFW subs a week ago. Some testing in reddits usual incompetent ways.

[...] In a phone call to UDC leader Duma Boko, President Mokgweetsi Masisi conceded and congratulated his opponent.

Despite overseeing a dramatic change in Botswana, recent poor economic growth and high unemployment dented the BDP’s popularity.

The party "had got it wrong big time", Masisi told a press conference.

"I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process ahead of inauguration. I am proud of our democratic processes and I respect the will of the people."

He has urged his supporters to remain calm and rally behind the new government.

Speaking to Boko on the phone, the outgoing president said: "You can count on me to always be there to provide whatever guidance you might want."

In his first comments to the media since the outcome was clear, Boko, a 54-year-old former human rights lawyer, said: "What has happened today takes our democracy to a higher level. It now means we've seen a successful, peaceful, orderly democratic transition." [...]

[...]It was the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who was involved in the deadly raid.

Some members of the jury were in tears as the verdict was read around 9:30 p.m. They had earlier indicated to the judge in two separate messages that they were deadlocked on the charge of using excessive force on Taylor, but chose to continue deliberating. The six man, six woman jury deliberated for more than 20 hours over three days. [...]

Pseudo-Scientific Documentaries of that kind has made me cancel my Netflix subscription over two years ago.

It's a shame what they sell us as facts.

The judge added that Conaghan exhibited a "conspiracy-theory mentality" and misinterpreted "normal workplace interactions" as harassment. The example offered was when Conaghan wrote "whiz" in a coworker's card then claimed another colleague was copying her when they used "whizz" in a different card.

The Guardian reported she also complained after a coworker asked, "Are you taking the piss, Karen?," a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing "all the hard work."

What a lovely person

Man, I cling to Windows like nobody else, as I didn't have any advertising issues and such, but this will be the final straw.

It's already enough of a spying system but I refuse to have it as a spy on crack.

Time to read into distros.

I enjoy these moments when the bots get disrupted and have no agenda to spread on social media.

I don't know any European that would only eat a slice of pizza instead of the whole thing.
