Good. They have one rule, and honestly any kind of e-bike is breaking that rule. An e-bike is for people who are so addicted to cars they can't imagine not having motorized transport.

Whelp, whoever was pushing for Driftless gave up. The usual "we don't want the government to come in here and tell us what to do" fears killed it. :(
Yeah I think it's hilarious too, but they do have a justification. It gives you the "freedom" to vote for everyone you like.
If I were going to name the system I'd call it Binary Voting, since every vote is really yes/no on every candidate. But hey, one rebrand at a time, I suppose.
It's absolutely insane to think about the ecological destruction of the Midwest. We used to have bison around literally everywhere.
Missouri Agrees is working on a referendum campaign to switch every election in the state to Approval Voting (AKA Freedom Voting). They're actually doing a fundraising campaign right now in order to pay for the effort.
If you don't know what Freedom Voting is, it's very simple.
- Vote for everyone you like.
- Most votes wins.
The short answer for why it's so great is that it means you're no longer limited to choosing just one candidate. You can pick everyone you like without having to worry about strategy. The long answer gets into polling data, voting theory, and even representing systems, but the big takeaway is that it's always safe to vote for your favorite no matter what.
If we can flip every election in Missouri with the proposed state constitution amendment, it'll be huge for voting reform for the nation as a whole, because we'll have a g whole state demonstrating how great Freedom Voting is compared to the status quo.
I'm always happy to chat, let me know if you have any questions.
Howdy. If you're interested in election reform give me a holler. If you're interested in anything else, you can give me a holler about that too!
As soon as I saw that headline I knew something was up. Phosphogypsum is totally fine to use as a part of road material. Like most minerals it contains traces of uranium, which decay into radon, the radioactive gas in question. The thing is, radon is constantly leaking out of the ground. It's only a problem in basements where the air doesn't circulate. Using phosphogypsum in the road isn't going to make any interesting changes in the road's radioactivity. I'd be more worried about the radiation dose from flying on and air plane.
Yeah, I'm very grateful that I'll have plenty of spares. I think the biggest challenge is that I'm going to be engraving the sides. If it was the top it would be a lot easier, but God damn do side labeled keys look good.
I'll have to create a rig of some kind that holds the piece in a secure and consistent location. Then I'll probably index off of one of the lower corners so I get consistent placement of the etching. I'll have to think more about how exactly I want to do it.
They're all so good when they're at their best!
Spring - New leaves and baby birds
Summer - Big storms and lots of sun
Fall - Sweater weather and harvest
Winter - Quiet fluffy snow and snowmen
All good. All valid.
This is, of course, a work in progress, but I'm happy to at least have a solution, even if it might not ultimately be the solution. I'm trying to find a side-printed keycap set that comes with an extra B somehow so I can relegate the QWERTY layout to the side. That way, I can use uncut stickers on top for the Dvorak layout instead of having ugly cut stickers on the edge.
Okay okay, I kind of had a breakthrough when I figured out I could use KeyChron keycaps to ensure that I had the right sizes for the space bars. Plus I need an extra B anyway and couldn't find sets like that otherwise. This forced me into keycaps with letters on top, but the second breakthrough was finding replacement stickers for Mac keyboards. Those have small letters so I'll cut them down and apply them to the side of each key for Dvorak reference.
Here's the build in my head:

The rule in spirit is no motorized transport. I'm perfectly aware of the actual rule.
I don't think anyone should be above the rules based on status, no. Only accessibility should allow for exceptions and honestly even as a disabled person I'm fine with being cut out from things like this, even though I'm sure there's plenty of other people who feel differently.
