If I were planning on transporting an ebike battery on a plane, I sure wouldn't want to be on that plane myself. Not worth it.

Indeed, I asked that earlier when somebody (one of the fighting roosters in this thread) brought it up and I couldn't see any relevance to it either.

As an old lady I look at this and think of the impacts through to the spine every landing and I think the rider is looking at a very painful old age. If s/he makes it that long...

Lottery tickets are a tax on people who are bad at math.

Oh -- and since there are more women in the world, and they live longer, and the ebike market skews older, it would seem to me that neglecting to market to the more numerous and longer lived consumer is foolish business policy.

Perhaps it is all eye of the beholder, because I'm a woman and I see lots of women riding ebikes. Perhaps it is in the nature of males to be hyper aware of other males out there, because they are competitors/threats, whereas women are aware of women out there as sisters in endeavoring to do...

On what do you base this declaration that most ebikes are bought by men? It may be true, but do you have any actual proof/data? And how is it relevant, the gender of the rider/purchaser, to this discussion?

The small town's sheriff was also its veterinarian. One night the phone rang and his wife answered. An agitated voice inquired, "Is your husband there?" "Do you require his services as a sheriff or as a vet?" "Both. We can't get our dog's mouth open, and there's a burglar in it."

Nurse came in and said, "Doc, there's a man in the waiting room who thinks he's invisible. What should I tell him?" "Tell him I can't see him today," replied the doctor.

We just saw the new Bill Nighy film "Living", where he plays an old uptight bureaucrat who finds out he has maybe 6 months to live. At one point, he is asked why he not angry about bureaucratic stonewalling, and he says gently, "I don't have time for anger." None of us do. Only some people don't...

So sorry to hear this. Make the most of every day you have.

You need to think about the adjectives or qualities you want to highlight. Is it the strength? Call it the Percheron, Carabao, Locomotive, Clipper etc. The speed? maybe the Swift, Mercury, etc. The handiness or efficacy? How about the Arriva, Exporter, Advancer, Advantager? What are its...

I wonder if lip readers really do see multiple alternative words when they watch people:

"Looks a little flat," worried the cyclist...

At a party, a group of guests discussed whether a glass of champagne was half full or half empty. "It's half full," said the optimist. "It's half empty," said the pessimist. "You must be blind," said the optometrist. "It's actually both," said the realist. "Are you sure? It could be...

This is a horse in a field in a tiny village in Asturias, Spain. It is just about one meter, maybe four feet, at the shoulder, but it has a full size torso and head. It's like a corgi horse!

One time, many years ago, I went to Pakistan via Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, I noticed that they had strings of freshwater or Biwa pearls very cheap. The kind that look like rice krispies. Those are the only ones that Pakistanis believe are genuine pearls, whereas they think all round pearls are...

Really?? How rude! 🫤

I played frisbee with my dog. I really do need a flatter dog....
