Trying to kill some SUV drivers though, can you blame the computers for thinking that's a good idea?

would be neat if everybody looked at that steering wheel in their hands and recognized how much it has cost all of us for them to drive to the shoe store

If you're putting 0.4lb of carbon (C, not CO2) back in the ground. I'm not sure when we weigh the wood vs carbon, maybe it's 0.3

If you only burn the woodgas, you get 5kBtu/lb, theoretical byproduct of CO2+H2O, and ultimately carbon negative because that was recently photosynthesized CO2 and you're going to bury the charcoal. Besides the fact that fossil fuel is cheaper if you don't pay for the death of humanity, and the nitrogen getting in the way of the reaction, startup/shutdown smoke, cleaning tar out of everything, high labor of material handling, what's the downside?

What would it take to adapt a 90% efficient condensing methane furnace to run on woodgas? H2 and CO, maybe using residual heat and/or electric heaters to cook the gas out of the wood, deal with all of the tar and water vapor, and exhaust the primarily cold CO2 with a power-vented sealed loop to the outdoors. The tricky part seems to be getting the wood up to temperature and keeping everything clean enough that it doesn't gunk up & create a bomb. Besides the feed mech, cooling the charcoal...

What do people with full sized feet do for biking shoes in winter #BikeTooter ? platform pedals / casual shoes not race cleats, but something waterproof and windproof enough to keep warm at 20mph, like hiking boots but then I would need gaiters to keep the gravel out of the tops?

(apparently my standard twelve-inch foot requires the very rare "size 13 extra extra wide, no wider, no actually wider")

“This proposal reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of Class 3 e-bikes and their users.”

also this ableist BS: “I’m really most concerned with the full throttle bike, where you have no requirement to do any type of physical assist,” Prozanski said. “Why would we be allowing a fully motorized, non human assist bike to utilize those paths?”

"courtesy" 🙄

also if you were doing a stupid lawmaker phrases drinking game, here is "I have friends who have e-bikes" 🤣

Supposedly PBOT is replacing one block of Naito removable bollards (seen at 1:48 in attached video) with concrete "traffic separators" and this will mean a week-long detour for bike users (car lanes will presumably remain open, why can't you just merge?) It's like we understand that people on bikes don't want to mix with cars but fail to grasp the concept that bike users might have places to go or that fake protection shouldn't take forever to build.
