I drive, but most of the time I ride a bike, skateboard, or walk because driving is mostly just more frustrating on average.

Bike Friday's new folding e-bike fits in a standard airline suitcase in c/[email protected]

I have no personal experience with them yet (I still have a few newish lithium ones that are more than enough to keep my family's stuff charged for days) but https://kuxiu.co/products/kuxiu-s2-power-bank

If you search for them there might be other ones as well; I don't think the one I posted was even the one I was thinking of but I can't remember where I originally saw it

This is part of why I've been holding off on buying a new ebike: If they make something that has a solid stat battery and belt drive, I'm definitely going to pull the trigger, but for now I'm still riding a budget ebike and saving my money for when they finally come out with an ebike that DGAF about the cold.

They don't seem to fold up very easily too. For that money you can buy an electric Brompton.

You can now buy solid state travel batteries, so I think that one we will start seeing in bigger stuff in the not too distant future as long as there are no major disruptions.

Doesn't hurt to throw in a few interesting hobbies or any volunteer work you've done - could throw in some bullet points opposite your certifications if you've done stuff there that's work mentioning.

Sometimes it helps make a sort of personal connection that you make share with the person or people making the call. It can help you stand out from other candidates too.

If you've never volunteered for anything before, I would recommend considering it!

I don't see why you would bother paying Microsoft for an OS that has shitty battery life and hurts performance with unnecessary bullshit software and "features" crammed in.
