  • It looks cool, but that is a horrible handle. You want it to be wood or plastic so it dampens vibrations as much as it can, and smooth so one hand can slide down the handle from near the head to your other hand at the end as you swing. A couple minutes breaking up concrete with that and your hands would be numb, tingly, and probably bloody. Gloves would help, but using this will always suck.

  • I started freelancing on the side recently, needed a PDF editor, Acrobat was cheaper than Bluebeam, so I thought I'd give it a try after not using it for years. It sucked. On top of being inferior in every use case it was infuriating to even have installed. It said it was opting me in for usage data collection but I could opt out in account management, I never found that option. And it had a dozen and a half background processes running on startup that would restart after being killed in task manager. Had to make a little batch file to kill them all at once. Adobe, the software and the company, is cancer. On purpose. Being mean to Adobe online is absolutely justified.

  • That is so cool! Did a bit of searching, this looks like like a good place to start. I'm not visually impaired, but am still very interested in learning to echolocate!

  • Airbags are not forbidden in aircraft. They just haven't been considered to offer enough safety benfit for their weight and cost in most cases. That is starting to change though, and airbags integrated into aircraft seatbelts are becoming more common. They can be found in first class in a number of commercial aircraft, and are sold to be retrofitted into private planes.

    There are many reasons I doubt this car will make it into commercial production, but the airbags will be OK.

  • That is a real shame, I met my wife on OK Cupid. We liked it for all those features that are gone now. I've recommended it to several people over the years, guess I'll stop doing that.

    As for being politically motivated, maybe? But my first guess would be that the changes were driven by immediate profitability factors. Because really, what is more important than quarterly and annual profit reports?

  • How?

  • If that is a scooter with a single front wheel in the middle, I bet they are in the habit of turning sharply on the spot when changng directions after being stationary.

  • "Its maker shared that the safe load would be 265 lb. (120.2 kg), but the maximum you can go up to is 330 lb. (149.7 kg). Both figures include the weight of the bike."

    Um. Call me crazy, but shouldn't the safe load be the maximum?
