Like normal tanning, this also comes with the risk of skin damage (degrading the plastic and making it more brittle)

I'd settle for him having to sell prayer candles to an audience of a few hundred elderly tradcaths for the rest of his life, but unfortunately Tucker appears to be resurrecting his career.

He did the ungay thing sometime after getting canceled by his fellow fascists for endorsing pederasty.

You can definitely own your own electric scooter, as long as it's top speed is below 20mph. Most people just opt for an ebike instead.

In Seattle at least, the companies coordinate with the city on where to place them when they're dropped back off after a fresh charge, and they do place them strategically so everything is constantly a short walk from a scooter. SDOT has even been marking out the parking spots with spray paint.

On the plus side, they have made for fantastic improvised barricades during the local ICE protests.

Yeah, the parking situation is not great. I have to pick them out of bike lanes on the regular, and some of the ebike style ones are so heavy a lot of people can't even move them if they happen to fall over.

We do kind of have this now thanks to rideshare scooters, but nobody likes it all that much because it turns out it's really obnoxious to be passed at 12mph while you're walking on the sidewalk.

The funniest part about Segway is that not only did it flop, the company also completely missed out on the actual personal mobility revolution of cheap ebikes and scooters.

The Hoverboard craze alone absolutely pantsed them. Dean Kamen's got nothing on bored Chinese engineers.

I'd argue the tech in those devices is based far more on Chinese drone motor manufacturers saying "what if we embedded our motors in the wheels of a scooter?"

There's some "micromobility" devices with distinctly Segway characteristics, but they aren't that common.

They owe more of a debt to the drone market and the industrial manufacturing capacity of China tbh. The Segway was ahead of its time, but the only truly unique part of it was the self-balancing.

The OneWheel is the true heir of the Segway dynasty.

If he gets off because the cops fucked it up, he should write another "if I had done it" book.
