Here's an anecdote: I haven't been the victim of any type of crime for the last 15 years, whereas I had multiple break-ins and near violent encounters in the 00s and 90s. My neighborhood and city (I live in Northeast Minneapolis) feels dramatically safer than it did when I was younger. My relatives in the burbs think it's some sort of crime infested hellhole. I'm inclined to think that a actually, crime IS dropping and that people who think that it isn't watching and reading a lot of media that is filling their heads with nonsense.
It's a class 1, so it will assist up to 20mph. I typically cruise at around 15mph on my own (I'm in a similar weight class as a rider). For getting around my town, trips are not much longer than my car.
Not sure how things are in Chattanooga, but you will still have to exert yourself to climb hills, just way less than before. Also, REI lets you test drive these for free, so I would definitely try it out before buying!
350W motor, so you'll hit that 20mph limiter on the flats, but maybe won't sustain that up hill. It's better than a 250W motor, but not by a huge margin.
What keeps me trapped using Windows on my main home workstation is simply that a lot of the professional software I use is Windows-only, and always will be.
Fortunately, the advancements in Proton and better cross-platform support for a lot of software has let me use Linux on my gaming computer and notebook. There are a few games which I can't play, but honestly there's so many options available that I don't miss them much. I don't think I'll ever completely eliminate Windows from my life, I think around 2021 was The Year Of Linux On The Desktop for me.
Humans have been putting a lot conscious effort into modifying our world for our own benefit. We've converted a huge amount of our land area into farmland and cities for our own use, which has had a lot of upsides for our current lifestyle. But rampant dumping of pollutants into the atmosphere hasn't usually had a lot of upsides, whether it be lead, or CFCs, or CO2. Climate change is not a directed endeavor with a goal, and so it's not surprising that it causes a lot of havoc.
I'm guessing that what's happening here is that Boeing could be making more money doing something other than building trash cans, and so is sending an absurdly exorbitant quote to their customer to communicate "stop buying this".
This is the killer aspect of the RPi, that there are tons of well supported drop-in software solutions for it. Other boards can be made to work, but the RPi will just work.
Yeah, frankly for a hacker or enthusiast this is probably not an issue, but if you're looking for something like PiHole or a small emulation box then the fact that the Pi is "standard" and has standard drop-in solutions is worth a non-trivial amount of money, even if the hardware is not as good as competitors.
This is going to be incredibly damaging to forums, in the same way that Photobucket's deletions were. Old forum posts are becoming a ghost town of broken image links.
