oh, for sure, compared to cars it's almost a no-brainer. But compared to other bikes it really is one of the more expensive offerings

Well, I'm of the opinion that Brompton (and every other company) should pull out of US distribution until their government stops being fascist pigs.

But I digress...

The ticket price of US$4,950...

Wildly expensive, even if it's a Brompton.

a 7-year frame warranty and 3-year e-system warranty

Kudos where kudos are due. Glad to see a bike company offer more than a year warranty on their e-bikes!

A tale as old as time! Car brains don't bat an eye when it's $1 million, $10 million, or $100 million spent on "convenience" for motorists.

But don't you dare spend a fraction of that for the safety and security of everyone else! /s

I wish our governments would have motorists pay the true cost of their multi-lane roads, "free" on-street parking spaces, parking garages and massive lots, or the cost to send first responders out to the tens of thousands of collisions we've normalized.

Maybe then they'd STFU about cost.

All communities pay dearly for car-centric infrastructure, and the maintenance costs required to keep it all running.

Those brake lights tell a different story. Still, what are we talking... a 1 or 2 km length of road for 150 cars to be passed by a single cyclist? Such an inefficient use of space.

Thanks, I'll give Digikam a try!

I've updated my OP with some interesting new details!

"I guess we'll see what happens."

Therefore, it is crucial to note that Hitler chose a party name of national socialists to deceive the general public, in particular the working class, to grow the base and strength of the Nazi Party. This was an intentional lie, deliberate propaganda...

The fact that either PP doesn't know this, or is trying to deliberately twist the facts, should make every Canadian angry.

To equate true socialism, like making sure that school kids have food in their stomach, to what Nazis did under Hitler, is so dishonest and shameful.

Industry professionals say unbought condos could lead to big layoffs

Everything is unaffordable, workers are all being laid off, AI is replacing people, minimum wage isn't enough to support a living wage...

What's the capitalist end-game here? A world full of poor, unemployed, desperate people likely won't make shareholders any richer, will it?

Thanks. I use Immich, but when I tagged a photo then saved it back to my computer, the geotagging was gone (but HDR was still intact). It's as if it saves it to its own database, and I can't find any settings to confirm.

Not a red, but funny enough, all those cars are blocking the intersection...

It's rare to see the law work in the victim's favour, so stealing back your own bike would probably land you in jail (in North America, at least).

“The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV… the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm.”

Interesting. Then they'll stop investigating other vehicle theft, too, right?

Also, if you are going to "decriminalize" crimes like that, then at least "decriminalize" actions taken by people to prevent or recover their stolen property.

A few observations:

1. That's a fuck-ton of distance for 150 cars.
2. "One more lane, bro" wouldn't make a goddamn difference.
3. We really need bike lanes... on every road.

Twenty million anonymized transactions ... led to a 9.5% increase in retail

I wish they put a number to that stat. Because even if we're talking about an extra dollar of spending, we're talking millions of dollars (euros), which is significant.

Retail stores everywhere should really force their local government to make street closures to car traffic a reality if they want to boost sales and keep online shopping from destroying their revenue.

Don't worry, we'll have a tunnel by then! /s

as the politician voted against an amendment that would have forced the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.

When I see someone voting AGAINST releasing the Epstein files, I can only make the assumption that they are in it.

Seeing that we are talking about an already horrible person, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Cruz is trying to cover his ass.

At the 10 locations posted in the OP. Data is collected at the same time each year, and over a 48-hour period.

It's very easy to do, and since the number of vehicles recorded is often in the thousands, the trends would be very easy to see.

We already know what works: deposit-return programs in provinces like BC and Alberta have achieved recovery rates of 77 per cent and 85 per cent for non-alcoholic beverage containers, respectively.”

I'm actually interested in how this works in practice.

We have blue bin poachers around here, who rifle through your bins in the middle of the night, often leaving a mess. Doesn't a deposit-return system encourage more of that?

Or do people collect these containers in their home?

And where do they return these containers? If they are disabled or elderly... does this end up being a disproportionate burden on them?

If it works, cool. The implementation is what interests me.

the lawyer in question “asserted that he had not been aware that generative AI frequently fabricates or hallucinates legal sources"

I'm no lawyer, but wouldn't the responsibility of due diligence rest... on the lawyer? "I didn't know" is usually never a legal defence, for pretty much anything.

And these guys charge hundreds of dollars an hour. SMH.

Man, most road vehicles can easily be called "murder machines", but Teslas are the first "suicide ride"!
