Two stroke engines are bad though.

I guess you could stick an electric motor on a scooter, but then you just have an extremely heavy bike so you need way more battery to go the same distance and speed.

How about you get a picture of a scooter to look at when you’re or doing your efficient, non polluting bike around?

e: I just remembered that some scooters have four stroke engines which does not undermine my point in any way.

Two strokes can be smaller and lighter for the same power as a four stroke which lends itself to an overall more efficient package. I believe the modern two stroke designs with actual r&d put into them are not nearly as bad as the conventional and out of date carbureted mixed gas design

I live out in the country, my property is surrounded by state forest with no visible neighbors (two across the street) 3 out of 4 seasons.

I don't get what possesses either of them to have moved to the forest to begin with because they go absolute nuts with the leaf blowing and then burning them all.

Why even move into literally the forest if you don't have any respect for nature and the natural composition cycles etc

it is very funny (in a bad way) that people will bag and throw away grass clippings and rake leaves out of their lawn and then also spend money on fertilizer. like bro its right there!

I actually had to break my partner of this over the past few years. Always leafblowing, bagging, and raking in the fall, mower has (had lol) a bagger, then also spend lols of dollars every fall on seed and fertilizer like what the gently caress. She has such a boomer brain from her father that it is some times impossible though she has gotten much much better about it

Dude lit up someone for daring to even get mad at them for cutting them off. His defense was naturally, that he feared for his life, so he shot 11 rounds out his window and was ready to kill that other guy, and is probably now deaf.

The other car is pretty clearly the aggressor in that video and attacked the guy first, that doesnt make it okay or good to shoot all crazy like that, but if someone is attacking you, you should absolutely have every right to defend yourself.

Maine has the great ponds and lakes act that says landowners cannot prohibit access (by foot) to any body of water over 10 acres regardless of how it's posted.

Here in CT, i have state forest across the road from my house and my neighbor uses their Comcast company car to block the access road because the first 300 feet of the road they use as their driveway.

They just moved in last summer and no one has challenged it officially. The road is old, (I personally think it was originally part of the east west native trail that ran through here). 1715 or so the first white people came down it widened it and built houses. About 60 years ago it was decommissioned and the boundary lines were moved to the centerline of the road and the abutting owners got the land.

So they do own half of the road but the other half is state forest so... Lol

The weather is nice now and in going to start riding my bicycle along the road into the forest and start tweeting Comcast asking why they keep blocking the access if and when I encounter it

DEEP would probably love to tell these people to go gently caress themselves. I'd contact them before Comcast.

I don't like getting the government involved on my neighbors because I don't want the favor returned to me but if it gets escalated then absolutely DEEP. The forester for this area retired last year and the position hasn't been filled officially yet. I assume that once s/he verifies the boundary markers the first time then the situation will be resolved pretty quick.

crash requirements are probably the biggest hurdle but small cars are so much better than anything.

My first car that i bought myself, for better or worse, was a brand new base model 2004 honda civic coupe which weighed 2200lbs and i could stick my foot out the door and pedal it along it was so light and it made me really appreciate weight (or lack of really) as a feature of a vehicle
