Can't argue with the base premise. But here in Toronto it's the ebike wild West. Where no law is enforced.

Folks are ripping by in the bike lanes on 100lb electric mopeds with throttles and fold away pedals. I've seen bikes where the chain is rusted off but the "bike" happily zips past a grandma on dutch bike at 35kph.

Recently the transit commission finally banned ebikes on the subway because they were lighting trains on fire.

All I ask is that ebikes are limited to pedal assist and have a weight limit. But I think the genie is out of the bottle.

Anyway. I've got opinions.

EVs are such a mess in North America. Unless I want a Tesla it feels like I can only get gigantic SUVs or expensive luxury cars.

I just want to replace my Mazda 3 with an electric equivalent

Deep state is having a nap I guess.

I don't mean that facetiously, honestly surprised the CIA is just chill with everything.

We were planning to road trip to the US in the summer with Bowie our dog.

The idea of a border agent getting anywhere near our dog is absolutely terrifying.

Trip cancelled, driving through small town Ontario instead.

I recently read Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea books, really interesting in that first half are kids lit and the second half were written 30 years later for a grown audience.

Best of both worlds! Though I did find the kids books way more fun.

We do a Bowie calendar for friends and family (it's a great motivation to take photos). We were ready to send it to the printers, but last night we dropped this photo in for May.

So yeah, it'll be on about 35 walls 😃

We're happy to keep posting here, the community is so much cooler than that other place.

Just here to agree with your thesis. It feels like Blue Prince doesn't respect my time. So much of the game relies on luck but each round is 30+minutes long.

I got credits and uninstalled. I respect this game, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it.

I've been taking Bowie photos once a day for four years now.

I started with just a bad One Plus phone, today I have a tiny Bowie sized studio set up with a flash and selection of camera lenses.

It's fun to improve and try new things, it helps that Bowie seems to genuinely enjoy taking photos with me.

I loved getting my Nintendo Power subscription every month and reading it front to back multiple times

Have you tried heaps of raw meat as motivation?

I bought a brother printer / copier / scanner about 15 years ago. Still going strong, I replaced the ink once.

I bought it for $99.99

I still consider it the best money I've ever spent

Edit: $99 Canadian!

Bowie has zero awareness which might be definition of cool 😎

He did get his paws wet on this trip. I accidentally threw his Frisbee into the lake and he courageously went after it

I have. Random outdoor cat walked over to me, demanded pets, it noticed a bird, killed the bird, and came back to me looking for more attention. I was not impressed.
