Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I’m just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.

Local shops react, adjust after new tariffs on e-bikes send prices skyward ( www.centraloregondaily.com )

E-Bike prices are jumping several hundred dollars due to tariffs just as peak riding season gets underway in Central Oregon. It's potentially pricing some people out of the market.

Whats with the use of quotation marks?

Surgeons believe we are about to enter a new era where diseases can be treated before children are born ( www.bbc.com )

Prenatal screening for neurological conditions has progressed in leaps and bounds over the past couple of decades. Technology including genetic analysis, neuroimaging, and high-resolution foetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are allowing doctors to peer into the nervous systems of developing foetuses and already diagnose them...

Hopefully this will reduce the number of abortions people have to keep from having disabled children.

    Don't you need a prescription for them? Of course they wouldn't want shady online retailers selling controlled substances.

    A lot of these complaints seem to be issues that come with socialized healthcare.

    Public transit shuts down in emergencies. What is even the point of this complaint?

    Maybe a jet pack would be a bit smaller but not by much.

    If self driving tech was applied to motorcycles and it was proven to be significantly safer that way, only then would I consider riding one.

    Overhaul as in replace or just add grease?

    Can a "Dutch" utility bike be made in the US?

    So I live in the US and I have seen a few videos proclaiming the virtues of Dutch style bikes including NoJustBike's video. They all are saying that these bikes cannot be found in the US but couldn't one just buy a step through frame and just add the missing features themselves such as a chain guard and parallel handle bars?

    Except it is actually the inverse. FOSS is usually free to access and fork. Whereas commercial walled gardens cost you thousands.
