We’ve put roughly 4,800 kms on two e-bikes in just over a year. ~2,800 on the Yuba (no riding Dec-March) since end of April last year and 2,000 kms on our Load4 75 Reise & Muller since the end of August, 2023. We’ve had lots of bus trips and I’m averaging only 9 kms of walking a day. Living without a car can be very fucking frustrating and limiting in a city like #ottawa but I wouldn’t trade it for anything #cargobike#biketooter
@grivettcarnac I did trade my cargo bike(s) for inner city living, and while I do miss them a bit, no regrets. The main reason is the trams here in Melbourne; without them I'm not sure I'd feel the same. I'll probably end up getting a new cargo bike, just to have it, soon enough. 😆
Still, 4800km is quite insane. Even in the suburbs I was doing maybe 1500km a year. Nice work
@grivettcarnac for sure. I lived for a decade or so in Melbourne's less served suburbs with a trailer to start with (Thule, then Burley), then eventually moved to the cargo bike.
I've never had a license for a car, so it was a godsend.
Being Aussie, the thing that sealed it was being able to put two slabs of beer into the cargo container. I was in love 😆
@stux hehehe, they secured the OS from jailbreaking, unfortunately that isn't reflected as strongly in their user data security 😆
Whether it's Android or iOS, Windows or MacOS, the people making the OS are stealing our data all day, every day. It's bound to leak, and end up with "bugs" like these photos being raised from the dead
Aaah, great, Biden, so hell bent on facilitating genocide, has now attacked the ICC, and, by doing so, legitimised Hamas' 7th of October attack.
By dismissing the charges of the ICC's prosecutors, Biden has made clear that the ICC is wrong in all counts, and that both Netanyahu, and Yahya Sinwar, are off the hook.
I'm not sure that should sit well with Zionists, or anti-genocide groups, but that's what Biden has done.
@msquebanh I just don't think they care. Centre-left parties have become full blown, far right, parties these days. The echo the same rhetoric they accused their opponents of just a decade or two ago.
America has become an utter basket case of Christo-fascism, ethno nationalism, and military-industrial complex, and that's just the Democrats 😖
@msquebanh yeh, I grew up with the two Bush Presidents invading Iraq, Obama was a breath of fresh air until he started justifying his drone strikes on weddings.
At that point I knew the American experiment was finished, or maybe it never even started.
As much as I think there's a large portion of Americans who are decent people, their political options are limited, and their governmental and electoral systems are designed to disenfranchise them at every turn
@MadiqIzichi@zmh@rodhilton yeh, they changed it after there was massive uproar about them claiming ownership of other people's stuff. Still, it might remain yours, but that doesn't stop them from training AI on it
It’s Friday, which means it’s Retro Game Of The Week time! This week, who you gonna call… yeah, them, as I delve into Ghostbusters for the Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive!
@decryption ~4 months back living in the city, not once have I thought "I should get a license and a car". Hell, I didn't even feel that in the suburbs.
People are ignorant, lazy, and will always come up with ways to justify owning 2 tonnes of metal to move <100kg of human about
@skinnylatte short curing is so much easier than people think.
As much as I've gone deep into nitrate/nitrite curing, and that can be fun, a nice quick cure of fish, or even high quality beef, can produce an amazing result
