There was a recent article detailing how if you put a lot of miles on your ebike you’ll need to replace the battery and it’s surprisingly expensive.
But I agree with the other downvoters that you can’t just say “but bad thing” you have to put them into perspective. And your parent comment didn’t claim ebikes are perfect or even good. Just that they literally don’t use gas.

If you recycle it it’s not very bad. It’s probably already made from a good amount of recycled content. Or if not, there’s plenty of demand for it for boxes and packaging.

Well luckily the FTC sued them for being a monopoly and then the Trump administration settled for a slap on the wrist, so they have no reason to change.

You may have Gilbert Syndrome. Something like 10% of the population has it and it gives you more bilirubin in your sweat which causes this.
- Comment on WTF is this??? 2 weeks ago:
My car has “BMW style” turn signals. When you flip them they don’t move to a different position. They always just flick back. And they try to just always reset themselves on both turns and lane changes. I’ve mostly gotten used to them but occasionally you get into this infuriating loop where if you change your mind about a turn or lane change and you go to flick it in the opposite direction to reset it, it thinks you want to turn in that direction. And then you do it again in the original direction trying to fix that.
Anyway it’s hella annoying. After three model years with this feature they reverted it back to the normal way. There’s an aftermarket wiring harness you can buy to retrofit your car with the older stalks.
My point is I have a little sympathy for BMW drivers since they have these stupid turn signals and it’s probably so entrenched in their loyal customers they can’t change it.
- Comment on Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them? 2 weeks ago:
I think using people’s names is an old life hack from “How to win friends and influence people”. Most people respond well to it.
It’s also a nice thing in a group where some people might not know or might have forgotten other people’s names. Then they don’t have to ask.

- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 5 weeks ago:
We could not determine whether Giovansanti has ever harmed someone by speeding. But the circumstantial evidence is not reassuring: The right side of his truck is visibly damaged, and he refused to answer a straightforward question about his collision history.
If it was his car being damaged while parked it would be the left side, so probably not that.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 5 weeks ago:
Are you sure about that?
Looks like the US gives Israel about $3B per year.
usafacts.org/…/how-much-military-aid-does-the-us-…
Versus Israel’s GDP of about $700B
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel
I think the main form of aid is the access to US weapons and technology and that’s largely about subsidizing the US defense industry. I think I read somewhere that US aid to Israel is literally sometimes in the form of vouchers/coupons they have to spend on weapons/defense tech.
That’s not to say we shouldn’t cut off that aid when it’s used to commit atrocities. Just saying get the facts straight.

- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 5 weeks ago:
Israel has its own military industrial complex. It’s an even bigger portion of their economy. They’re a very high tech nation. ICQ, the predecessor of AOL Instant Messenger, was invented in/by Israelis.

I like my Kobo for a couple reasons
- All the reasons you might want to boycott Amazon
- Built in Overdrive support so you can borrow ebooks from your local library
- Instapaper built in
It used to have Pocket support until that service shut down. Kobo was good about quickly replacing that with the equivalent service from Instapaper. It lets you save web pages and it doesn’t just save the link. It strips the ads and junk and saves a copy of the content. It’s also useful for bypassing soft pay walls.
I don’t know what you’re talking about with music on an ereader. I can’t speak to music or audiobook support since I haven’t tried it. I think the basic model I have supports audiobooks but not music.
