Yes. For instance https://www.brennancenter.org/ recently did a tabletop exercise where they looked for all the worst things that could happen during a trump second term and looked for ways to stop them from happening. See (or rather hear) https://youtu.be/9SlnDvGHhBw
I think the bigger issue was more about being able to go local for warranty service, instead of having to ship your bike somewhere far away, which would be costly and be a PITA.
But you’re absolutely right about regular maintenance. I gave the wrong idea about the reason in my last comment.
(And now I’m sitting here thinking “omg, I sound like ChatGPT.”)
It takes 27 seconds to cut a ulock with a battery powered angle grinder. https://youtu.be/hjYXD9pyupg
That being said, I do use a ulock and cables when I lock up my bike. It stops opportunistic thieves, but not determined thieves.
I got an Aventon earlier this year and it’s been great. Two of my friends in another state coincidentally also got Aventon bikes, each a different model than mine, and they also love them.
However my wife’s family got some cheaper Chinese-made small fat tire folding e-bikes and they’re also pretty good, and cost a lot less.
Rad Power is what I see the most when I’m out riding around.
When I was researching, some folks said “buy from your local bike shop so you can take it back there for maintenance” which seems like good advice for folks who aren’t comfortable doing their own maintenance. I also watched a lot of videos on YT for models I was interested in, and videos by the same person so I could get a sense of what they said about bikes at all. I’d be particularly skeptical of people who never have anything bad to say.
This biggest concern I have with my ebike is theft, and that concern is keeping me from doing everything around my area with my bike that I would do if my family had a second car for me to take out instead. I find myself waiting u til our one car is available to do things where I would have to leave my bike out of view for very long.
For a second I read this as “Dr. Strangelove” and was really confused.
A few days ago I was messing with my ubiquiti dream router and its ssh config option said the key should start with ssh-rsa 🙄
It may be Shaka, but in Unicode and emoji it’s “call me” https://emojipedia.org/call-me-hand
Weird. I updated it with the dir the letters are in.
As funny as this is, it’s worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.
I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.
There’s too much to quote here, and it’s too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.
I picked up some stranded skaters in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night because they flashed SOS with their headlights after I drove past them. They had been there for like 8 hours. I’m sure they would’ve rather had a flashlight to do the work for them.
But I agree that there should be another UI for getting to the emergency flashing. Like hold for 5 seconds or something unlikely to be used during normal operation.
I have a flashlight that has multiple flashy settings, but they are disabled after like 5 or 10 seconds of idle power on time. So the first click turns it on, and if you wait a while, the next click turns it off.
Let me guess. You bought those at Borders? The one next to Starbucks and Chipotle? That was a great bookstore.
Funny you say that. I did tech support when XP first came out, and I quit my job and switched to Linux.
XP SP2 was actually pretty good though.
They append the word “no” to the statement.
“How are you?” Is “you’re good, no?” But the word “no” does not have a rising tone.
Tonal languages are hard for non-tonal language speakers to pick up because of this. On the flip side, it can be tough for tonal language speakers to grasp the tonal inflections in English, and sometimes speak like robots before they understand how to use them.
Vietnamese doesn’t. The rising tone that you hear at the end of an English language question can change the literal meaning of a word in Vietnamese.
FWIW Brazil has the largest population of Japanese people outside of Japan.

Second vote for VTI.
I hated how these were delivered to you whether you wanted them or not. So much junk.
They made really great fires though if you tore each page out, crumpled them up and stuffed them between the logs.
Also interesting, I took one about an inch or so thick and shot it point blank with a 12 gauge shotgun and tiny yellow circular confetti came out, which was neat to see.
Spreadsheets are such a killer app.
Anybody know a good TUI spreadsheet app that can import and export csv, or even just a TUI csv editor? I have been unable to find one.
