What’s the context?

Yeah they kind of have to say that. But everyone knows the bike network here kind of sucks.

I just took the water taxi over for the first time. It was pretty fun. A ped bridge would definitely be better though.

That’s great to aspire for but there’s still an almost total lack of content in many genres I enjoy on YouTube. I don’t even think PeerTube has progressed as far as the Lemmy community in terms of content availability. Admittedly this is probably because text and image content is much easier to create, but as a user I don’t find much reason to spend time there yet.

So if you don’t want a monetized model, there is still a need to have another solution to the lack of content, and I haven’t seen one yet.

Yeah most policy makers completely ignoring or being outright hostile to e-bikes is really annoying.

I don’t even ride one since I live in a dense neighborhood and am physically able but for a lot of people they are pretty revolutionary.

Can you give an example? I’ve heard many now that are bearable to listen to but none that really sound human.

😂 I lived in NJ for a few months and I actually agree. Y’all are a fun bunch. NJ definitely deserves more love than it usually gets.

That said, I think the main reason NJ has safer roads is better road design. Usually driver behavior is only a minor factor. NJ has made a real effort in recent years to improve things (although there’s still a lot more to be done).

On the other hand, there is a slightly unfair nature to the comparison since so many NJ residents commute into other states for work. This means their road statistics don’t contain as many of the absolute death traps that many US downtowns are. Or at least the ones I’ve lived in. NYC and Philly are probably a cut above most.

You mean IRA?

Lol New Jersey people are funny. You’re not wrong though.

Not sure. I’ve always been able to feel them.

There are many species of mosquito, maybe a new one has invaded your area recently?

Because they’re not doing both, which will encourage people to switch from e-bikes back to cars. This rule will make NYC streets more dangerous, no doubt.

Evacuate from what now?

Sounds dubious but they’ve achieved surprising things before.

How does adding a particle to the black hole remove energy from it?

It’s not that I don’t recognize there are good people there worthy of assistance. It’s that I doubt our ability to help them. The fascist powers there are too entrenched to uproot. We need to focus on the places the battle is winnable first. Then if we succeed we can turn to the South.

I mean sort of. I’m not sure gangs are a healthy way for neighborhoods to organize though.

I mean I don’t care if they take action against ICE but there’s a reason they’re not, and it’s because gangs exist to look after their own interests first. They don’t want to start a war with the feds for obvious reasons.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t speak for everyone of course, but I do think most people see that what the IDF is doing has nothing to do with Judaism or Jews but that they use these ideas as a mask to hide their true monstrous nature. I have nothing but love and respect for anyone brave enough to speak out on this issue, no matter any superficial connection they may have to these villains.

Thanks for all the effort you’re putting into this community!

You’re joking but this is more or less the law with minor exceptions. Basically everywhere near an airport is covered so it’s mostly remote areas that are not.

Edit: or maybe I misremembered? I can’t find anything on the airports.

I think it’s just intentional but it’s still ridiculous. What percentage of people do not live within 100 miles of a border, coast, or international airport? The number is not large.
