There were probably also people who voted for "yes AI" who would have voted for "a little bit of ai when I explicitly ask for it" if they had the option.

While my observations have been that men of color between 20 and 30 seem to disproportionately ride these bikes, a vast majority of people on these bikes are white teens.

"fatbike" means something different in The Netherlands than it means in North America.

In North America, fat bikes are mountain bikes with 4 inch wide or wider tires, generally designed for use on snow and sand. E.g.: https://surlybikes.com/products/wednesday-og-algae

In The Netherlands, fatbikes are throttle-controlled e-bikes with 4-5" wide tires with a smaller diameter than typical bikes. They come with pedals, but the gearing and seat position makes the pedals essentially useless; many people remove them. They do not handle well. They do not stop well. They are popular because they are cheap. E.g.: https://www.fatbikeskopen.nl/products/qm-wheels-v20-pro-mini-zwart

We already spend too many trillions of dollars subsidizing private cars. No more please.

The same governor that gave a billion dollars of taxpayer money to billionaires to build a head injury stadium. Not surprising.

Volkswagen, Ford, UBS, and IBM are all doing pretty well.

I got new headphones a few months ago. They were comfortable in the store, but after having them on for more than 30 minutes they bother my head. I designed and 3D-printed a head band for them, and now they are much more comfortable.

As a previous homeowner, I feel your pain. Sounds like you know what you are doing, and are taking good care of your mom. You should be proud of yourself.

You think Chuck "My job is to keep the left pro-Israel" Schumer gives a shit about America?
