  I have considered an e-bike. I believe I might be safe on one in some situations, but not as a daily driver. As mentioned, my balance is very poor. I can manage a stand up scooter for short distances. But the penalty for a fall at my age is far too high, and so anything on two wheels is really not going to be acceptable. Thanks for the thoughts though.

  Try this when you are in your 70’s and come back and we’ll chat. And bring a cure for my chronically poor balance on your way over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exactly an argument, but I once overheard a restaurant owner bribing a cop. It was an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. Kind of unsettling, but the food was great, and reasonably priced. 4 stars.

  I’m just waiting for canned bread.

  He doesn’t just test them, he tests them exhaustively and (in shade tree fashion) scientifically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What caused the change in electronic terminology?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Rheostats are two wire devices, think of them as current controlling. Potentiometers are three wire devices, typically used as voltage dividers. They are not the same.
