Bobcat vs. Python - I get a bit skeezed out when "scientists" start assigning agency to animals like, "local fauna fighting back". I don't think the particular bobcat in this case, or bobcat's generally, are th

I think what you mean to ask is whether the concern is more or less important to [some audience] than the pro-limit concerns. For this issue, there are rational arguments on both sides, but which side one finds more compelling isn't

I'm not sure you're articulating your argument very well. I get what you're after, but no, restricting freedom is not purely subjective. For example, "I can do this today, and I can't do this tomorrow", is a pr

I'm happy I've been able to drive at high speed on the autobahn, but don't imagine it will last. It's excessively wasteful of energy for one thing. It's remarkable how much more efficiently your car can operate at j

No, I haven’t changed my footpads, haven’t even sent out for my GT recall pad, yet, which I need to do. Do you like the new pad in terms of control? Got link?

When the GT was released, there was a problem with "ghosting", which meant the board would keep moving after the rider had gotten off the board. This was traced to a faulty sensor in the foot pad, for which Future Motion eventuall
