The Lone Badger posted:5-10x their volume anyway. Badgers are surprisingly heavy. Well honey is about 40% more dense than water so it stands to reason that honey badgers would be about 40% more dense than other land mammals.

According to the article Texas can't legislate self driven cars for some reason, so basically the company hosed up a good portion of Austin with no legal repercussions. So far anyway.

^^^ It took us a while to crack down on bike and scooter rentals, for a few years they were just littered around everywhere, though mostly on sidewalks not blocking roads. If they tried that poo poo in Dallas those cars would be stripped for parts on the first night.

When I worked at a movie theater a few of us kids (I was like 16 and 5' 11" 160lbs) picked up a really annoying literal 7' tall worker's Geo Metro hatchback (it was funny watching him get in and out of it) out of the parking spot, onto the sidewalk area, and between two poles. It was hilarious. The 7 foot tall dude (we called him kermit behind his back because he sounded like kermit) was angry, but he was always angry 100% of the time which is exactly why we did it. Heh.

Rentable e-scooters and e-bikes are good alternatives to car culture that provide palatable use cases for cycling infrastructure. They're fantastic examples of why local governments should be investing more into Green cities by providing safe and sensible places to both ride and store them. The market has proven that people are amenable to non-car based travel, and these companies are thriving by providing access to people who can't afford to drop several grand on the technology themselves. But instead of getting people to push their local representatives to greenify our cities, e-scooters inexplicably turn even the most avid cyclists into huge NIMBY cunts that support polluting waterways with heavy metals.

I like the idea of rentable escooters but they need to have docks to just stop people dumping then in the middle of the pavement which is a real hindrance to wheel chair users.

They should take a deposit and not give it back unless the rental vehicle is left in a legal automobile parking spot.

We don't have scooters in our city yet, but we do have ebikes. You're charged per hour, and if it's not put back into a charging rack (We have dozens all over the city), it keeps charging your card and the prices go up every 2-3 hours the longer it's not returned. Not sure why they can't do that for the scooters. Someone dumps it on the sidewalk because it ran our of battery? You're going to get charged until it's put back in one.

The scooters (at least in our city) don't have charging racks, they're recharged by the company overnight then presumably deposited in good pick-up locations. They also started operating before getting a license under the 'Better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission' philosophy, which kinda goes to show their attitude. I'd be more amendable to their faux green-ness if I didn't have to climb over the drat things every time I walk past a busstop.

Serephina posted:The scooters (at least in our city) don't have charging racks, they're recharged by the company overnight then presumably deposited in good pick-up locations. They actually are charged by people, who are not actually employees, in their homes because private electricity is cheaper than what the electric company would charge the e-bike company. Also, this was in an area with a low-income home discount from the electric company. So the people that were picking up the e-bikes to recharge were making ok extra cash, but the e-bike companies were absolutely taking advantage of the lovely gig economy and poor people, who were able to get a decent discount on a necessity because they were loving poor, so that they did not have to pay a reasonable amount directly to the electric company to recharge their e-bikes.

If I had to guess that would cost more money and require permission from the council to build them. So the companies just don't bother. Cutting that corner has bitten them in the arse though with how unpopular it's made them.
