One of the ebikes seized on Friday belonged to a 14-year-old boy from Warriewood. Police said it was capable of reaching speeds of more than 90km/h.
When I was that age, I was getting as low down on my bicycle as possible to reach 48kph down the steepest hill in the area. Now they can do double that with a press of a thumb…
Jealous; worried. Mostly jealous.
When an infomercial says, “But wait! There’s more!”
That’s usually the calibre of writing, but enough people get their credit cards out.
Nope. Skimmed.
Broke my own code. Ironically I blame the sparkling Chardonnay.
I’m referring to human nature, not species anatomy. Dexterity does not have us now applying survival competition within our own species.
Edit: People should really stop upvoting this
Oh, dear…
Having spent much of my life in high heat and equatorial climates, alcohol is bad.
I mean it’s good, fun, relaxing, whatever; but you really must be aware of the impacts on the body in high heat because it amplifies all the bad stuff.
Europeans are but neophytes in the way of the “heatwave”. They don’t even know how AC systems work. They just think you turn on AC and that’s that 🤦
They lack human nature. The thing that got us to number 1 but that still isn’t enough.
Well, here’s the thing, you can’t cure cancer. Cancer is just a type of a many different things, all requiring very different avenues of potential “cure”.
To cure cancer, like it’s a singular, is like the DNA equivalent of “finding the cure for mental illness”.
So whenever you hear it on the forefront of something, you know it’s bullshit narrative.
This guy…
Don’t forget feeds. Americans love a good social media or news feed refined to their liking; and participating on them, like it does something.
They’re by far the most controlled population in the developed world and none of them can see they’re all fragmented in different echo chambers. Every other American is in one, “but not me”.
Genuinely a great idea for renormalising that “it is not okay” to a lot of people.
Would be great as a last minute achievement in GTA6 if the devs had time, but I’m sure it’d be spun as a “this is why we need them; to stop GTA-like crime in 'Murica” argument.
This would be an issue if I hadn’t once gain left for the seas to leave a life of inconvenience and hassle.
Streaming services really have nothing going for them again.
Huh. Well, add that to the list of many other things. Didn’t even know that one, but makes sense.
If you find out you’re this wrong about one thing and it seems so obvious now, imagine how many other things you’re wrong about but never bother to think about them with any reasoning or detail
I’m like this with shitting. It’s so insisingly inconvenient.
“Oooh. I’m in the middle of something, but you go right ahead bowel. Go on, let’s go spend the next five minutes making smell and needing cleaning… Fucking asshole.”
The city I’m in, cars were getting in the way of my cycling today. They’re pointless and slow. I understand for service vehicles like delivery trucks and taxis for the old/disabled. But it’s much faster and easier to ride a bicycle, scooter, and even walk. We can tell who the tourists are because they’re large and look very unwell, like they are not used to being bipedal.
Have you considered just using gear molds? Or getting some machined if they’re super custom and you’ll be making several of the same gear and replacing them over time.
It ain’t labor if it ain’t done with a rifle and direct orders from a state.
Do nothing / Overwhelmed by stuff that needs doing.
