IIRC the colonists intentionally wanted this way of life. To live in harmony with nature and all that. So I don't get this critique of 'they didn't change' when that was the whole point.

The bill creates three classifications of electric bicycles. Class 1 ebikes only provide assistance when a rider is actively pedaling and stops its motor when the bike reaches 20 mph. Class 2 ebikes can be propelled without pedaling and top out at 20 mph. And Class 3 ebikes require pedaling, come with a speedometer and top out at 28 mph.

Levy initially proposed allowing anyone, regardless of age, to use a Class 1 electric bicycle and making it a traffic violation for a child younger than 16 to use a Class 2 or Class 3 ebike. But as passed by the House, the bill would ban ebikes for anyone younger than 16 who doesn’t have a driver’s license or permit. Anyone 16 or older can use any ebike.

Hmmm. I think high school is when there might be a real need for an Ebike so I'd go with that age.

What age can you get a driver's license? Does a learners license count?

Wiki says Stalin was 1924-1953. 29 years.

Putin is 2000. 24 years and going. (Yeltsin resigned Dec 31 1999, I'm rounding to 2000.)

Good from start, but that's the highlight.

Market's saturated. Why do analysts not understand this? Once you hit a certain size you don't get much more from a new tv.

This is my take too. Well said.

For consumption: get a reverse osmosis system. Not eating seafood is an interesting idea, but apparently Omega 3s are so healthy they outweigh the heavy metal exposure, apply that however you want to micro plastics. Don't use plastic dishes or cutlery, don't microwave plastics, don't use plastic ladles, flippers, water bottles, etc.

For not contributing: If your garbage is done properly it's in a landfill. It's the plastic that makes it to the oceans that's bad. It's actually kinda fucked what we can do afaik. Anything that goes into the water is a problem, so any personal products, hygiene products, I wonder about washing synthetic clothes, there's probably better lists out there.

Have we gone through all the basic stories? It seems like a movie can't just be a movie anymore. It needs to be everything everywhere all at once.

Are you worried about consumption of micro plastics, or contributing to the micro plastic problem?

Oops you admit they are not the same, but try to confuse the issue with "influence". Followed by more with "hat" which is lol worthy. NATO did not invade Iraq. The US did.

Something tells me you're trying to be intentionally obtuse trying to conflate everything so ciao

You are confusing members (the US) doing their own thing, with the organization.
