New York City has imposed a 15mph speed limit on ebikes.
I'm not worried though, because where I live I bike on a street with a 25mph speed limit and cars routinely go 30mph or faster.
I know this because I bike on the road at 25mph and cars go flying past me.
So if they don't enforce it for cars are they really gonna enforce it for bikes?

Channeling Revenant Feelings (Eagle Creek, Oregon, 2017)
(Hoping my friends in the US are doing everything in their power to help protect these sacred wilderness places from the onslaught of out of control greed...)
#FootpathFriday #ForestFriday

A cinematic panoramic view of a wintry mountain creek flowing in a bend with rapids, surrounded by lush, but cold, foggy and moody PNW rainforest. A dusting of fresh snow on the wet rocky river banks. Fallen trees and logs here and there. Other trees overgrown with furry mosses.

Casualty figures for Drone Operators are not disclosed
but widely understood to be high
And Ukraine is becoming reliant on civilians to fill roles that once belonged to trained military personnel.
A short but intensive 15-day course is given to a trainee operator for frontline deployment,
a turnaround that reflects the urgent need.

As casualties mount, recruitment is expanding. Three women talk about why they signed up for a brutal combat environment

Content warning: Old weapon technology updated.

Here’s a link to a sales pitch/demo of a sling, one of the oldest weapons known to us bipedal apes, slightly newer than just throwing rocks. There’s a link to a web site at the end. I have to say, the accent of the demonstrator/narrator is, I will say interesting. Remove the spaces in the following url if you’re curious.

Highly recommend not to identify yourself with any technology.
Doesn’t matter if it’s AI, bicycles, cars, video games, old computers, photography or Hi-Fi equipment.
If someone says something bad about it (doesn’t matter if true or not) and you feel personally attacked—take a step back and think long and hard about your feelings.
Can you be “into” something? Yes, of course. But don’t lose yourself.

The problem with Las Vegas is that visitors are now treated like marks rather than guests.
The $50 gotcha charge at Paris Las Vegas for unplugging a cord in the room to charge a laptop is a perfect example:

“$50 Charge Because I Unplugged A Cord”: Paris Las Vegas Hotel’s Tiny Print Fee Sums Up Why Visitors Are Fleeing The City
A reader shares that the were billed "$50 to charge a laptop" at Paris Las Vegas, and they thought this was "an even more outrageous fee" than $26 for a bottle of water at Aria. Las Vegas executives can't seem to figure out why tourist visits are declining in the city.

May you always crush the skulls. Big ones, little ones, beaky ones, mousey ones, all types, and may you always catch the flying things so you never go hungry.

Content warning: Cooking & food

Just finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.
