  I don’t so much mean weird situations, but perhaps just the demographics get skewed. Now that I think about it, I perhaps have a dumber question:

  What the hell are exit polls are how are they conducted? The name implies they’re conducting with folks leaving the polls, but if they’re voting at home then how are they polled? This could also just simply boil down to why do we trust polls so much anyways

  I believe that he does, and he knows shit will cost more, but he ALSO knows that his followers have no clue whatsoever. So prices will increase, and he’ll blame it on one of their many “others”. Keeping them scared and mad is the key to their control over them

  Honestly, if you’re not pushing a one wheel as fast as it can go, they’re not bad. The problem is the “push back” that happens when you approach speeds too fast for the motor is very easy to miss. I’ve been riding my one wheel for years now and have only had it dump me off once, and that was the first time I rode it and tried to go quicker.

  That being said, with the nature of it always balancing, if any little thing goes wrong with the motor, battery, etc. You’re in for a bad time. I try to always wear a helmet and gloves when I’m riding. I also never let anyone else ride mine unless they’ve ridden one before.
