Technically you are right.

The fat bike is considered to be a normal electric 25km/h bike (here in NL).

What changed (our view) on it was that some Chinese brands made it possible to raise the speed by doing a trivial change (either hardware or software) allowing speeds upto 45km/h.

In some extreme cases even higher.

Combine this with 12 year olds with soft skulls and you have the reason why the legal age is going to be raised to 16 years old and wearing a helmet.

And the old man in me screams: also require some training and a license for it.

And yes, I hate those things with a vengeance and have an opinion on everyone on such a vehicle. They are noisy, tent to break the speed limits and attract a certain type of people.

Old man signing off.

Although using the top row of keys does not cause you to accidentally hit keys above it.

Speaking for myself ofcourse but I am glad the EU has regulations for the use of personal data for targeting consumers, voters and for example patients.

You might translate this as "censorship" but I think of it as "responsible use".

Over the past years (and certainly in the case of Xitter) it has become blatantly clear that people like Musk wipe their #ss with responsibility.

Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.

Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).

It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.

But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.

Amazing and heart warming to read! Sometimes all it takes for things to change are the actions of an individual!

Although I can understand the feeling, let's hope that it does not get there. It might end ugly for all... 🤔

Jeez you really are full of it.

Nevermind. Have fun playing by yourself.

The "star construct" you mention and hang an entire theory on is just a German language construct. It has to do with gender but not the way you imagine it to be. Just gender as a language construct (German is full of gender constructs).

Maybe I made the error of explaining your post with the typical US "there is only one gender" stance which is so irritatingly omni present on youtube nowadays.

But if that was not your intention, it might also be an error to call me nationalist. I am not. I am all for gender inclusivity. If you are as well we have no beef.

And PS: yes, you are still an asshole.
