I'd not be surprised if many individuals at the IA dislike Trump, but why do you say the IA is biased against him? This effort is a direct continuation of their Political TV archives which have over the last years become more and more

And this is why we shouldn't frame the discussion of shorter working hours in terms of economic efficiencies, because then they are easily dismissed if it turns out people don't accomplish quite as much in 6 hours as they do in 8.

Yes, I know, I'm just saying that the extra braking power isn't useful because you can already apply the maximum safe braking power with any bicycle brake. Anything more will just send you flying over the handlebars. There are oth

Opus is quite usable for speech data down to 8kbit/s, even 6kbit/s is mostly understandable. At 10-12kbit/s you have good quality voice recordings.

I think the speed limits would be better enforced in a similar way as car speed limits are - instead of a limit on the controller, trust the rider to obey the law and bust people who don't. A 25km/h speed limit is probably very re

Ugh, lead-acid? There's a reason your bike was cheaper. The power density sucks . Of course, if you only use it for trips of ~7 miles it's probably sufficient if much heavier than necessary. These bikes will go further than 7 mil
