Livewire announcing a new smaller EV with two removable batteries, sounds like they've is peeking at Maeving's homework over in the UK.

Not a bad idea cuz people have been saying for a while that what you need to get new riders on motorcycles is cheap-but-reliable EVs, but damn I hate how it looks. The British manufacturer makes their battery and motor look as clean and cool as a classic single cylinder, while what LW has shown off looks like a mini dirt bike and there's already a hundred electric dirt bikes of both mini and full size variety on the market.

I guess that makes sense from a business perspective, though. "Here's a market segment we're not competing in yet". Hopefully, like they did with the S2, they take this battery and motor arrangement and adopt it to multiple styles, ie by making the next one more of a "street fighter" with road wheels and suspension but the same core drive train.

Still nobody has done what seems to me to be the most obvious thing possible: make a damn sidecar bike and put a second battery under the sidecar!

A guest on Space Ghost Coast to Coast put it best. "A plant out of place" is a weed, like an insect out of place is a pest. It's a definition that centers ecology and targets invasive species.

realized that I barely look at my passengers when ridesharing. Jason Voorhees could get in my car with a hockey mask and a bloody machete and I'd just be like "so how's your night going?"

really enjoying the feature in kde where if I wiggle the mouse the cursor gets bigger and if I keep wiggling it keeps getting bigger and bigger until it fills the whole screen.

Driving Uber was fucking painful yesterday, but today with the power of hindsight I think the problem wasn't the time I choose to drive, but the location. Gonna try again this time in a different city and see what's up, I really don't want to go back to the graveyard shift that shit suuuucks.

If Dr Pepper introduced a mascot and she was a woman in a labcoat with a stethoscope that would cause a not-insignificant portion of the population's heads to explode. I fully support this.
