So it acts like an adult child with deeply anti-humanist traits? What could go wrong?

I guess the days are numbered for those YouTube jackasses on Surons creating havoc on California roads.

Davis said that over the last two decades, most of the terror attacks in Canada have been perpetrated by ideologically motivated violent extremism.

“We’re not talking about al-Qaida and Islamic State. We’re talking about anti-Muslim, ‘Incel’ or anti-government extremists..."

So, right-wing domestic terrorists?

So many:

  • Unsubscribe links that are magically broken.
  • Newsletter popups when you're trying to view content.
  • Websites that are paywalled coming up in search engines.
  • Broken shopping cart payment systems.
  • The fact that it's an assault on your senses to browse without an adblocker.
  • "Sign in to view content" for articles, posts, etc.
  • Banking sites that time out after a minute.
  • likewise, shopping cart sessions that expire before you're done shopping.
  • AI generated articles that don't even sound like they're referring to the right topic.
  • Recipe websites that have a 15 page story for each recipe without a way to skip to the actual recipe.
  • "Endless scrolling" that prevents you from accessing links at the bottom of the page.
  • Business websites that don't list an address.
  • "Password must be short enough to guess."
  • "How did we do? " emails.
  • Automatic newsletter sign-up.
  • Desktop websites that act as if you're on a phone (i.e swipe through grocery filters instead of scrolling through them).
  • Unreadable, archaic, and/or low-contrast fonts.
  • "This content is not available in your country."

I could list dozens more. 😮‍💨

Oh, oh. Anyway. 🤷‍♂️

The SK05 Pro is powered by one or two 18650 Li-ion batteries connected in parallel.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm in Ontario and ride on quite a few rural roads. Unfortunately, speed limits are pretty much ignored and nearly every vehicle that passes is a high-speed pickup truck, which sucks when there's no shoulder. 😫

If you read how they programmed this robot, it seems that it can anticipate things like that. Also keep in mind that this is only designed to do one type of surgery.

I'm cautiously optimist.

I'd still expect human supervision, though.

Suggests?

Isn't it their job to investigate crimes???

It's worse than that.

You don't generally blame someone for being shot by a random stranger.

But kill a cyclist or pedestrian by car? What did or didn't they do?!?! 🧐

I've got knives from ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS that are made in Germany. They carry all kinds of kitchen stuff, but not sure if it's all made in Germany or not.

Being trained on videos means it has no ability to adapt, improvise, or use knowledge during the surgery.

Edit: However, in the context of this particular robot, it does seem that additional input was given and other training was added in order for it to expand beyond what it was taught through the videos. As the study noted, the surgeries were performed with 100% accuracy. So in this case, I personally don't have any problems.

 

Above or below the locknut washer?

 

If money was no object, this would be the bike I'd throw my wallet at!

Not only does the tandem setup look better than a traditional tandem, but to be able to convert it into a front-loading cargo bike is... WOW!

This bike is also Made in Germany.

 

So, my Ninebot Max e-scooter has a "loud" front wheel, and when I spin it, the bearing sounds "dry".

I have replacement bearings, but then I noticed this:

When I spin the wheel by hand, it will keep spinning SUPER SMOOTHLY and... no joke... can keep spinning for over 10 minutes! To me, that sounds amazing, and now I'd rather not change the bearings.

Does this make sense? I would imagine the same can happen on a bike wheel.

Should I just leave it? LOL

 

"That’s why we manufacture all of our products here in Canada, collaborating with local partners who share our values, from R&D to the printing of our labels."

I wax my chains, so I don't use their lube, but their bike cleaning products are fantastic!

 

I've been to a few bike shops that don't have any bike racks outside. It's bizarre. Like, you have to bring your bike in the shop just to pick something up or to have a look around.

I'm not even talking about one place that does this, I have at least three in the area where there are no bike racks at all.

Is this normal? Why???

 

I've seen several of these around, on roads. And to be honest, if I had to replace my car, it might be for one of these!

But what the hell? They are ONLY allowed on sidewalks, which IMO, they really shouldn't be. And are NOT allowed on roads because they are classified as "pedestrians"?

We need new laws to accomodate and encourage the adoption of "mini cars" as car alternatives within urban and sububan travel..

Registration ends tomorrow (June 19th). It's a great event that takes you though many of Ajax' cycle-friendly trails and communities.

 

Selling price approx. $12,500 Canadian.

Honestly, not bad when you consider the utility. Way cheaper than a second car, or as a replacement for a car that's rarely used.

I just worry that as these e-bikes get more complex, it just serves as an additional barrier for people.

 

It might be more effective for the sign to read "4 points + $280 fine" instead of "80km/h" when you're in a 40km/h zone, no?
