That is… some rather unique styling. I don’t hate it but it looks like a nightmare to service as nearly every part is nonstandard.

Also many places would classify this as an e-scooter due to the lack of pedals and have special restrictions/requirements like registration. I’d rather just spend this money on a normal ebike to be honest.

Giant anteater

“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.

Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.

2nd place would be any of Queen’s absurdly overplayed songs. I don’t even hear them as music anymore; they’re just annoying noise.

An imposter butt!

The NBHPA called the incident “unacceptable behaviour”

The poor guy was nearly murdered. The ref is lucky to be alive and, from the sounds of the injuries, may never be the same again. Repeated blows to the face with a blunt object are no joke.

Complaints that bikes are “not green” then proceeds to dump grease and concrete in the wilderness.

Incredible logic.

Fantastic. Just what we need.

More of these wretched things.

With AWD I’d be more concerned with the fuel consumption.

It’s where they keep all the cheese.

Not that I am aware of. Though one time someone made a Facebook account using my email. I was able to log in by requesting a password reset, then I posted a status message (or whatever) that said “Get your own goddamn email” and then changed to the password to gibberish and filed a account deletion request.

Capitalism is all about short-term profit. These sorts of long-term questions and concerns are not things shareholders and investors think or care about.

Further proof of this: Climate change.

The least amount of electronics on my bike - the better. I have a motor, battery, and a control panel to oversee the former and nothing more. The rest of the bike is acoustic, serviceable, cheap, and long lasting. I don’t have to worry about bad software bricking my shifters.

And this is why most users should not be opting in to preview updates.

Six grand (CAD) for a bike that your kid will probably outgrow in couple years, potentially less.

It looks awesome but this is not a sane use of one’s money.

This is true but only to a point. I have 64GB of RAM and I have seen Photoshop overshoot that and start eating up 20gb of page file. Working with the exact same files in Affinity Photo - it uses a quarter of that.

There is a difference between “Efficiently use available memory for program functions” and “Fill all available memory with bloat and poorly coded rubbish”

If your software’s function can be replicated using only 1/4 of system memory then your software is poorly written. Which Photoshop is.

I dumped my Adobe sub and grabbed Affinity Photo a while ago. It does 95% of the things Photoshop does (and 100% of what I need) for a one-time payment that is a fraction of the cost of an Adobe payment. It’s runs so so SO much better than PS. I very often saw Photoshop using up to 40gb of RAM and Affinity Photo uses 9gb doing the exact same work with the same files.

Removing Creative Cloud and it’s 838 different processes was amazing. Like finally watching your toilet flush after it’s been clogged.

The best anti-theft measure is not having a thief target your bike at all. Make your bike look the least appealing of any at a bike lockup. Cover it in tape, ratty stickers, put a plastic grocery bag on the seat with rubber bands, hang empty fast-food containers off the handlebars, etc. Also remove anything that can be removed without tools such as wheels, seat, and any electronic control devices. If your battery can be removed then pop that off and take it with you. An ebike without a battery is hardly worth stealing when there are other options.

If possible - keep the bike inside but if you absolutely must use a parkade regularly I would strongly consider avoiding a new bike. A brand-new, shiny ebike left unattended (especially in a parkade with a theft problem) is just begging to be stolen.

All of this just to give rich shareholders even more money.

Microsoft is constantly experimenting with how far they can push users into a corner and get away with it. There might be a day when Microsoft caves and releases a Windows that is more like what we wanted, but I imagine it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. We have not yet seen the worst MS has to offer force upon us.

The battery on the Amflow PL is not removable, and must be charged on the bike

Sigh…
