This is an avenue id rather not explore.

The idea of a computer injecting me with something it created itself is horrifying and Id rather die on my own terms than possibly be killed on an extinction-level deary injection.

Both end with death but at least one doesnt have me witnessing the fall of mankind to an injection by killer AI.

Yes ive seen a lot of scifi movies lmao

People don’t even realize how much literature written on gender science and the legitimacy of trans people was burned and then they wonder almost a century later “hmm, I wonder why I’m hearing about this trans thing for the first time. Must be a stupid fad”. Of course it’s been recorded all around the world for centuries but modern academia is near exclusively reliant on white scholars (the kind who’s countries were invaded and books and culture burned)

Hahaha, no. It's a beater bike, all rusty and has several working/non-working lights, and a kid seat in the back that we wipe down with a wash cloth when it's wet - cuz that's whatya do.

There is a big F150 truck in our neighborhood and we just laugh at thinking about them trying to find parking. And it's only a 150. Doofus.

My mom had to spend some time in one of those mobility scooters after surgery here in the Netherlands.

Praised the bike infrastructure even more than she did on a bicycle.

You can ride your mobility scooter on the bike lane, where you're not held back by people walking slowly on the sidewalk, nor in danger of being hit by a car on the road. Bike paths are wide enough for cyclists to go around the mobility scooter and the vast majority won't mind doing so.

As for babies, we often put them in special seats on our bicycles, or use a so called "bakfiets" which has a nice big cargo area for the kid to sit in. These are also great for cargo in general, I've transported 19" servers in one before. For longer distances you can use the train, or of course a car.

Do you have a pile of spare bedrooms for a visiting family? :-)

I'm glad that you've found a great place. My visits to Amsterdam have been very nice and it looks like the city is continuing to invest in positive change over time.

The Not Just Bikes YouTube channel has lots of great material on cities and city design. He's got a great one on why he's not a fan of Houston.
