Especially since he listens to whatever someone said to him most recently.

What the actual hell is all that?

I don’t know anything about what you’re saying but I appreciate your use of alternative chæracters

The half dome design is terrible because it’s always made out of shitty plastic that hardens and becomes nearly impossible to unplug. I haven’t seen the specific design seen here but there’s at least 3-4 common “snagless” designs that aren’t shitty like the half-dome design you mentioned.

Edit:

Option 1. Pretty good. Probably has the problem shown for this switch.

Option 2. Probably doesn’t have this problem, still good.

Option 3. This is fine because even if the plastic hardens the boot slides down the cable and out of the way. Not perfect, the boot can slide down sometimes when you don’t want it to.

Option 4. Fuck these pieces of shit.

Option 5. No problem on the switch but less effective for preventing snags. “Good enough”

Option 6. The best. Lots of subvariants here with different curvature of the boot and flexibility of the plastic but they all work fine. Edit++: very similar to option 2 but there some difference in the designs that I can’t quite put my finger on.

Can we compromise and say “design QA”?

A poorly designed product is still a problem with “QA” even if it’s the design quality that is poor rather than manufacturing quality.

Well, hopefully he’s learned his lesson, but I doubt it.

Is this just something built in to tinpot dictators?

Are people on bikes allowed to use the full lane of a roadway, just as any vehicle that is classified as a car would?

Basically every place in the US, the answer is emphatically “yes”.

Uh… yesterday?

Bikes absolutely are vehicles.

Cars are dangerous weapons

Just capitalism things. I hate what they’ve done to this country.
