Living in the US in 2025: The government that hates green tech says your e-bike battery might explode if it gets wet, but the company says, nuh uh, only if it gets REALLY wet. And now you, a person who needs their e-bike and also doesn't want their house to burn down, has to figure out what to do.
Not trying to stan Rad here, but should we be a little skeptical of a CPSC that was gutted this year by an administration that hates green tech?

DOGE dismantles Consumer Product Safety Commission
When a product turns out to be dangerous, or even deadly, it’s recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
It’s a watchdog group that’s now being dismantled by DOGE.

so there’s a flea market today. when I put it on my map to see where it was, it was WAAYY out there compared to the places we’ve been around and I was like shit that’s so far.
…it’s 0.7 miles away 😂
this place is so absurdly compact my brain can’t process what I’m looking at on the map

in Spain, instead of HAWK signals or beg button RRFBs, I’m seeing timed signalized pedestrian crosswalks that stop multiple lanes of cars whether or not a pedestrian is present (and I’m seeing drivers obeying them, whether or not a pedestrian is present)

things I haven’t seen in Spain:

- a single family home
- anyone wearing a mask
