like choose what you want but choose your own timezone if you need to be the odd one that stretches out a time zone intended for an entirely different geographic region that wants to adjust its time.
This so fucking stupid, why is a country with almost 3h sun difference on the same time zone as a much more eastern country while literally every other country on their longitude is on Western European Time.
EU wants to "avoid fragmentation", which like wat, we have time zones for a reason you fucks
Getting pissed of because I read up why abolishing time switching isn't moving forward.
One point is that Poland wants summer time which would affect Spain too much and of fucking course because Spain is in the wrong time zone. The solution is for Spain to go back to their pre Nazi era time zone.
the title image is also misleading when its basically all these that are the issue which only have pedals in order to avoid regulations in some countries but are likely illegal even in most US states which define them by strength of motor and not whether or not pedals exist.

It annoys me to no end that these electric motorbikes with non functional pedals are called e-Bikes.

I made fun of the "no throttle" rule in Germany but it really makes a difference if there is only pedal assist and no throttle.

Cities look to registration, regulation and infrastructure improvement to cut number of e-bike injuries and deaths

I appreciate Stuff Made Here so much. His videos are such a love letter to learning and engineering.

Its such a breath of fresh air in the slop coding times we live in.
Learning is great kids!

Sometimes hacking does look as dumb as in the movies
Just realized that we measure film in mm and sensors in inches. This feels like really stupid progression

If you know anyone hiring systems engineers lmk.
