You are the horse.

Oh I'm not discounting that. Free pianos don't tend to be cheap either to get tuned, and that's if you can even tune them in the first place.

I mean it's not because they want to die. We're just talking about an animal that can die if it gets indigestion(the most common cause of death in domestic horses is colic). Some biological engineering points when it comes to horses are frankly quite bizarre when you compare them to ruminants.

I mean if you want any old horse and can transport it you can often get them for free. They're like pianos

Google fired a co-inventor of it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru

Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google's Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive

It's a real fucking laugh. It seems Google's go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it's employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. "Let's fix your thinking."

In many parts of the states they do because their insurance won't cover them working on those bikes.

Stingy on letting you make your own vape but happy to let you stuff your lip with snus. Typical Sweden.

Most will not repair an ebikes outside of the brand they sell. I'd ask the shop first.

Can't buy nicotine from the wholesalers anymore to do that in the US. Feds made it illegal.

You pretty much should only buy one from a shop that has a physical location near you and can do repairs. Like everybody around me sells Trek, so if I ever got one, it'd be a Trek with a Bosch motor. Bike shops will not repair ebikes they don't sell, even though they'll repair regular bikes. And neither Trek nor Bosch are going anywhere.

What he's saying is not beyond what Congress has previously laid down though. First sale doctrine should let you do whatever you want, but they actually banned renting phonographs because they thought people were recording them on tape. We're lucky they didn't outlaw movie rentals too back in the day. Whole copyright regime needs to die in a fire.

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan
