Sounds like anyone using third party DNS has a telecommunications provider.

Anyone using ISP DNS has an information service provider...

Fat tyres have significantly higher resistance, they're heavier and create more friction.

The benefits are the look and increased traction, which is essential if the thing is actually an off-road electric motorbike.

Just Google "electric road bikes" and you'll see that there are loads:

https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/best-road-ebikes/

They're more popular in downhill mountain biking because the sport is going down a hill, getting back the hill is just an inconvenience to be mitigated as much as possible!

While obviously it's handy in commuting, so they're common on folding bikes, but road bikes are designed pretty much for racing, so there's less demands for electric versions (but obviously still enough that they exist!)

Why is anyone calling it X?

The sign still says Twitter, the domain still says Twitter, it's still Twitter.

Jaywalking is a bullshit concept.

Pedestrians should be allowed to cross regular roads where ever they damn well like.

Drivers should pay attention or surrender their licences.

Victim blaming is not helpful.

It's really weird, as the whole EU deal was Margaret Thatcher's legacy, and her own party threw it away!!!

They reward them with high wages, then punish them with citizenship?

Odd...

Very odd...

Swiping is nice and all, even though you rarely write a whole sentence without it getting a word wrong and what you wrote not even being a suggestion, but it's nowhere near the speed of typing.

Unless you're doing that only with your thumb as well?

The Communists of the USSR didn't like vacation time, but accepted it as necessary for workers to reset and return to work refreshed.

They believed that once their systems were perfected vacation would become unnecessary and workers could work all year without breaks.

It's pretty terrifying that there are still people in leadership positions who haven't accepted these fundamental facts of work!

Pfft. Nonsense.

It's simple.

A tablet.

I've not heard of any planes getting diverted due to drunk and abusive children...

So children have that going for them!

Awesome that you've switched to cycling, it's crazy how expensive your insurance is though!

I just got a quote for my ebike, it's only £60/year!

In the UK plenty of cars cost less than £300/year to insure...
