Most people cannot ride a bike at anywhere close to the speeds that an e-bike can hit. I pass professional cycling teams daily on my e-bike because I can do 20mph. The average professional cyclist seems to struggle to maintain 15+mph. I only get passed by a normal bicycle maybe once every few months, and those guys and gals have gastrocnemius’ that are about as big as my waist. My current e-bike has just under 2500 miles on the odo, my previous one blew up at just over 11,000 miles. Oh, and technically both e-bikes could do 25 mph, that just wears out the motor in less than 1000 miles.

Regular bikes don’t have a motor. E-bikes and e-scooters do have a motor. Some regulation on e-bikes may be needed, but regular bikes have been regulated as much as is needed. Maybe a helmet law, but even that seems unnecessary.

He had, quite frankly, an insane amount of land. Yes, my late great Aunt Binny (Virginia) was a professor of history at the University of Louisville, and had scans done by her department before she died. The scans were done in 2002.

Yep. I’m directly descended from Rev. D. Rice. The guy owned about ⅔ of The Virginia Colony, because he’s a direct descendent of House Rice, and House Wellington. He saw which way the wind was blowing in 1765 and started selling off his land. He donated the raiesd 1,500,000 pounds sterling to his good friends Tom, Jim, and Ben. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin. The joke in my family is that we paid to found the US Army and US Navy.

My cousin still has his diary, which is how we know this even happened, well that and a map of his land.

Him and his student, John Paul Jones.

Second line. The whole thing is an excerpt of the first verse. The chorus isn’t for another couple lines.

Yep. I 100%-ed X as well, but that wasn’t nearly as bad.

I 100%-ed FFX-II. I don’t recommend this.

When one of the main characters of Freefall (webcomic), who is a genetically modified female red wolf, was asked “what’s it like to be in heat?” She responded by saying that since humans don’t have a mating cycle a more accurate question would be, “what’s it like to not be in heat.”

Florence is a very patient lady.

You have far greater knowledge of interspecies animal husbandry than I have ever pondered, or wanted to know

I thought anteaters with that snout, but sure.

These ones don’t look that spry

Take out the oil industry, and all defence contractors and every military can no longer function.

Yeah, but that’s all for local gumbo production, oh and Zataran’s.

It was easier for me to throw away blood related people that raised me, than put up with the stress of dealing with their lie based reality 20 years ago. I don’t miss the drama at all. I occasionally miss one of the almost 20 “relatives” that I cut off. Thing is that I have over 8 billion cousins out there, so I can make up for the bigots with actual humans, rather than subhuman scum.

You don’t get to pick the family you’re born into. You do get to pick your family as an adult.
