You mean like assholes in 3,000 pound metal boxes do constantly? The ones that kill 40,000 people a year in the US alone? The idea that bikers are all flying through red lights with their eyes closed mowing down pedestrians needs to die.

It doesn’t sound like that at all. The article says absolutely nothing about that. 

It’s wild to me that any retailer will even accept a check as a form of payment.

There are two reasons that you see this happen constantly:
1) The dealers are idiots who don’t take any time to verify the information they send to the classified sites.
2) The classified sites refuse to push back on dealers who post blatantly wrong things because they are being paid by the dealerships.

I don’t think so. I’m squarely in the market they are looking at here. I have 3 bikes, one of which was about $2,500. I have a bike that looks a lot like this, but cost well under a quarter of that price.

It must be so relaxing to know that every time something bad happens it’s just crisis actors.

NFL viewership dropped 10% last year after dropping 8% the year before. The people talking about not watching are certainly a vocal minority, but its pretty clear that popularity is declining.

Is there a similar small scooter that can be bought new for a reasonable price? I would love to have something that small and light to get around on.

Only if the right in question involves the Bible or owning black people.

It’s supposed to raise money for a cash-strapped company that currently doesn’t have any income. It’s pretty simple.

I am not going to try to change your mind on blockchain technology, and I (unfortunately) agree with you on Elio - it truly doesn’t seem like they actually have anything, which makes the investment surprising. It is important to discern that the investment isn’t really coming from “online Big Lots.”

Overstock also has a blockchain company that is totally separate from the retail site.

This isn’t why Overstock is investing. They are heavily involved in blockchain tech outside of the retail site. Their own stock was issued on a blockchain, though a company they own called t0. That is who is going to be handling the Elio ICO. Why they picked Elio is somewhat of a mystery, but their CEO did say, “I am…

“Free climbing” means they aren’t using any gear to help them up the wall. That means they aren’t using something to help them ascend the rope or putting something in a crack and then pulling or standing on it. The opposite of this is called “aid climbing,” which is basically use whatever you have to get up the wall.…

Unfortunately for Martinez this was just another run of the mill shitty driver. Had he been hit by a self driving Uber people would have pretended they cared about cyclists.

It’s legitimately pretty good now. It’s not gourmet or anything but it’s yummy and cheap.

Also the polls would open an hour earlier and stay open for the same amount of time, so this argument makes no sense.

What’s so amazing about this is if it was a human driver not paying attention no one would care. It wouldn’t be news, and if it was everyone would shrug and blame the person for jaywalking or riding without lights. Throw in a shitty company and now everyone cares about pedestrians all of a sudden!

The idea that this is Ubers first test flight is flat out wrong. This is not their first time using the tech.

The wright brothers plane flew like two feet off the ground.
