Trump's lawyers seek to suspend $83M defamation verdict, citing 'strong probability' it won't stand
  • No, he was not actually convicted of rape in a criminal court.

    So even though a judge has called him a rapist he is not "legally" a rapist as he has not been found guilty of the crime of rape.

    Criminal court is where you go when a DA is brining charges against you. Civil court is the place where you and I would go to settle a lawsuit.

  • Study finds that once people use cargo bikes, they like their cars much less
  • Thanks for that! I didn't know the math to work that out!

    The pushing is not as scary because I don't exceed 10mph when that heavy of a trailer and because I can resist that pushing quite a bit with the pedals... which is a great feeling.

  • Where I live is mostly flat and am running 46x16. Hills really wouldn't scare me too much (I still have brakes)

    The biggest limiting factor I have found in towing is that there is a point where the trailer will unload my front wheel and then my steering becomes more of a suggestion (about 100+ lbs... I am routinely exceeding the suggested limits)

    Here is an article about ratios. It's really about finding the least worst setup for your needs; easier hill climbs means more spinning when going down hills and lower top speed.

  • Study finds that once people use cargo bikes, they like their cars much less
  • I got a fixed gear bike last year and a trailer to pull my kids around in (when they want to go with me).

    I pretty much exclusively use that to get around and get groceries instead of my car now.

    Even in the rain, it's just so much more fun to be on a bicycle than to drive.

  • Pete Rock Says ‘Chasing The Money’ Ruined Hip Hop: ‘The Bag Has Become The Problem’
  • I think it's amusing that we have gone full circle on Soulja Boy.... I remember Ice-T had an entire mixtape dissing Soulja Bay more than a decade ago. I don't listen to much newer music but I think that some of the older artists in any genre like to hate on some of the new guys.

  • Ubiquiti Users Somehow Being Fed Access to Strangers' Security Cameras
  • Best place to start if you're taking security seriously; Implementing file encryption for example has to start with "I would rather that I myself potentially lose access to this data than for it to possibly fall into another person's hands."

  • Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting
  • I also want to point out that a lot of these games purposefully misclassify themselves in the AppStore. Meaning if you are a parent and you say "I want my kid to have 1-2 hours of game time, but all research tools are allowed all the time" Some games will report themselves as "Information and Reading" to get around settings. I find oftentimes the more garbagey the game the more likely it will do that.
