It's just a humor article. Not sure if you read past the headline but the whole article is about the positives of an e-bike. If anything maybe someone who by default is opposed to or on the fence about e-bikes might click on the article to get some negative takes and they find only positive ones,

The US Congress is legislative branch. Congress is divided into the Senate and House of Representatives.

What makes it confusing is that representatives are also referred to as "congressman" but senators are onky called senators. Despite both being members of Congress.

Yeah you're right. I was confused and thought that it was the same parent who brought the first child in that refused the medication for themselves.

More likely it takes out democracy.

But you said you would disagree with any comment. Therefore, I knew you would disagree with my previous comment.

I agree with you but generally but there are unlucky people that will get ducked. There are situations where you HAVE to sell. If someone loses a job and for a million possible reasons can't get equivalent employment and can no longer afford their mortgage for example. Medical bills, spouse dies, etc.

Going to trial may have cost her millions in lawyers. $200k may not have been enough.

I agree with you but find it funny you included cops in the "conditioned or trained to react to behavior in the most effective way." An American cop would have also shot the prankster and would probably have emptied his whole clip into him as well.

Its just used that way to make it less wordy. Like when people say "Raising money for cancer" instead of "raising money for cancer research". I always find it mildly humorous but the intent is obvious.

How is that possible? Tires alone will be that cost. Oil changes over 20 years? Even if you only changed oil annually for 20 years for $20 thats $400.

Not that you should ditch your car. I have a 12 year old with similar performance.

A lot of big oaks and other trees are vulnerable too. In South Florida the trees are periodically culled by hurricanes so the trees still standing have made it through a few storms and the ones that do go down are fewer in number. Up north they had decades upon decades of growth that had never seen a hurricane. A tree growing in a way not conducive to hurricane survival growing for decades then getting knocked down can cause a lot of issues.

Slash pine is as hurricane resistant as anything and the only reason there isn't a lot left is because they were on the few spits of dry land in South Florida. So naturally they were cut down for timber used to build on that dry land.
