All rocks are forever trying to get to the bottom of the ocean. Waves are simply an intermission.

Reply to New York City appeals judge's ruling that could reinstate fired unvaccinated employees by ILikeTalkn2Myself
This decision is absolutely nonsensical and devoid of legal support. Most posts on this subreddit are better written.

Reply to My thoughts after walking 8.5 miles down Roosevelt Ave and Greenpoint Ave through Queens by iFlunkedChemistry
I've done that walk many times myself, there's an old NYTimes article about it. I recommend a detour through Sunnyside on Skillman or QB rather than heading down Greenpoint Ave. And it's always worth checking on the Cavalry Cemeteries in that area.
The only good thing in Blissville is the Bantry Bay Public House.

Reply to Why Fires From E-Bike Batteries Have Left Cities Helpless by bikeskata
The NYTimes has an article today regarding battery fires: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/nyregion/lithium-ion-battery-fires.html?smid=url-share
Gotta love the delivery worker advocate arguing that other devices use lithium -ion batteries too, so the City shouldn't try to regulate them.
I had a E-bike store move in down the street to my apartment some 2 years ago. It burnt down last year - the fire was so hot that it melted/deformed the building.
While I'm sympathetic to delivery drivers, their job existed prior to the invention of E-bikes, they can manage with reasonable regulation.
The state needs to actively regulate E-bikes. They are covered under the VTL as it stands. I'm afraid there's going to need to be a fire with terrible consequences before the government does anything, though.
