E-bike environmental impact in comparison to other forms of transport
  • It usually works out pretty well with native speakers not familiar with the term. They usually have a moment with a blank stare thinking "what the hell is an acoustic bike?" and then realize all at once with a smirk.

    As for your second question, acoustic becomes a good classification when talking to a group where electric bikes are the default, just like electric becomes a good classification where pure pedal bikes are the default. In a group where ebikes are the default they might assume you're talking about throttle type if you say analog, or a pedal assist bike if you said manual. It started as a joke and became a useful term.

  • GOP Congressman Accidentally Gives Real Reason for Mayorkas Impeachment
  • This is such a strange take. Just because people think that the current system doesn't work doesn't mean they automatically jump to wanting despotism even if enlightened. People who throw up their hands at political gridlock and see it as a justification for dictatorship, and not as reasons to iterate and improve upon the existing system are weirdos.

  • Why aren't modern 3D platformers as good as the PS2 era of 3D platformers?
  • Nitrorad covers games old and new in this genre, but the shooter hybrid 3d platformer is short of a niche inside a niche. I think 3d platformer are having a bit of a resurgence at the moment, but I don't think it's trickled down to that subgenre. I will shout out pseudoregalia I almost didn't give it a chance with the furry bait protagonist but the platforming is so satisfying. I hope the dev makes some sort of sequel

  • Went to IMTS last year and got to see a BIG 3D Printer
  • I don't feel like I've seen armature (SCARA?) Based 3d printers in this scale before. I imagine it might be due to it losing reach as it goes on comparison to a gantry? At least without some sort of rising mechanism.

  • Any advice for someone who broke bones that need surgery to fix?
  • I'm pretty sure that I healed with my foot in an unnatural position (outside tiles up slightly) causing the bone to heal in a shortened position. They don't do anything to your fibula in most cases as it bears very little weight, it's just allowed to heal on its own.

  • Any advice for someone who broke bones that need surgery to fix?
  • Only real thing I regret when I broke my leg was not using a cane after crutches. Didn't realize using the crutches too long led to my fibula reattaching incorrectly and breaking again a year later randomly as I was walking.
